Dear Johannes, >> A question for Rawn: you say that the visualisation of an object in step 2 hasn´t got to be as clear as if it was physical? What degree is sufficient then? << The Step Two "*mental* exercise has nothing to do with the *physical* eyes. It's completely about the *mental* eyes and the ability to imagine any image you desire and to therefore "see" it with your *mind's eye*. The open-eye part of the exercise is still about what you "see" in your *mind's eye*, while your physical eyes are open and simultaneously perceiving (i.e., *physically seeing*) your surroundings. Your *mental* focus is upon the image you are creating with your imagination *in your mind's eye* and your *physical eyes* are focused upon the point in space where you are imagining your object exists. For example, in your *mind's eye* you imagine a red ball hovering in the air one meter in front of you, and you simultaneously focus your *physical eyes* upon that spot one meter in front of you. Your *physical eyes* will *not* see a red ball but your *mind's eye* will imagine it hovering there as if it were a physical reality. I suggest that you visit http://www.ABardonCompanion.com/Corresp-IIHPractice.html and read all the posts there about this exercise. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 27 Aug 2004 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
