Dear Vovin & Dear Rawn, Thank you for the answers you gave last weekend regarding EOM. I'm only at Lesson 2 of the Archaeous, and I still have a very rudimentary understanding of the mental body, but it's nice to know I'm getting there. Fraternally, Olivier -----Original Message----- From: Rawn Clark [mailto:rawnclark@...] Sent: Saturday, April 03, 2004 1:02 AM To: BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BardonPraxis] EOM & Awareness Dear Olivier, >> I recently noticed a change in my practice/understanding of EOM. I would like to confirm that I am not venturing in the wrong direction. << Rest assured, you are venturing in The Right Direction. :) >> However, during my daily practice of EOM, I noticed that I could somehow expand and move my awareness, still maintaining an emptiness of thought. I can focus my awareness on my body, or move it across the room, or seemingly expand it beyond the physical limits of my room. Is this normal?! Under these conditions, if I focus my awareness on, say, a physical object in my room while maintaining EOM, would this bring the perception of the essential meaning of the object I am focusing on? Is it correct to assume that the absence of thoughts does not signify the "immobility" of awareness? Is it correct to say that one can maintaing EOM and still move one's awareness (ie. mental body??) wherever one wants to?? << In my Self-Healing Archaeous audio series, I speak about this. In Lesson Three (Complete Awareness and Integration of the Mental Body) I speak about the four Elemental regions of the mental body and note that EOM is all about the Fire region. However, in Lesson Eight (Techniques of Mental Wandering) I go into greater depth on the subject and speak also about travel with the solo-Fire region. In other words, I discuss some of the options inherent to EOM. The *direct* perception of essential meaning occurs with the solo-Fire region of the mental body. EOM is a matter of focusing the awareness exclusively within the Fire region to the exclusion of all else. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 02 April 2004 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe _____ Yahoo!
