Dear Phil, Welcome to BardonPraxis! :) My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 06 Nov 2004 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe ----- Original Message ----- From: Philippe Marin To: BardonPraxis Moderator Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2004 12:46 PM Subject: Re: Welcome to BardonPraxis Hello to all members of the BardonPraxis group. To briefly introduce myself: I am 39, married with 3 daughters, and live in the Washington DC area (also spending a fair amount of my time traveling abroad). Without any previous background in Hermetism or the "occult", I discovered Bardon last year "by chance" (.although I don't believe any more in such a thing...), and reading IIH was a real chock. I went again and again to the Theory paragraphs, always finding more meaning, and feeling a "closeness" to the material that I had never felt anywhere before (strangely enough, I use to consider myself an agnostic, not spiritually inclined person.). Since starting the level 1 exercises many months ago, I have had troubles sticking to a regular schedule. I guess that's good "food for thought" for my magical mirror. I can't finish without expressing my most sincere gratitude to Rawn for his fantastic work and the material he is openly sharing on his website. I really look forward participating in the group discussions. All the best Phil [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
