Re: A minor soul mirror question

Please elaborate on this Jason;

"My only other comment on the whole process so far is that the 
mental helps with the astral. As in, once you get good at Thought 
Discipline you can meditate on the tetragrammaton itself and its 
significance, and then be constantly aware, ..."

As to your other comments... that seems to be a great ideal you've 
reached, being able to rephrase the negative to a positive; "What 
would I have to have been feeling/believing/thinking/etc. to have 
acted differently?' And the cool thing is if you phrase it like that 
it's always a positive, never negative. Then breathe that in and 
just be confident you've changed." 

I agree, we are all such different 'planets' in our own galaxy when 
you view us from the character/personality. Think of it, nobody has 
any of the same situation in their early growing years. We may all 
have one parent, two parents, but we have a different family friend 
who always has an impact on us for instance. So we are each unique 
and different in our approaches and what may be a key to one... etc.

I wish you well
Chuck
