Hi Larry Hi all O.K. Your are right as far as the basic procedure of introspection of Bardon concerns. Let me put the question in a (hopefully *smile*) more clear way: Suppose it is enough, not just basic introspection step 1 ( I agree with you to do it basically as Bardon suggests! O.k.!) but also the three approaches of step 2 were enough alone to bring all (most of) your negative traits of all past incarnations into basic required Equilibrium without considering any problem of correlation between *mental root/feeling and transcending family constellations* or the *mind-body question* (which is not the same as mind-action question!). Then, nevertheless, since I consider hermetic to be a science (the highest science existing on Earth) and not just a religious path you blindly follow, hermetic should be able to explain *why* and *how*, if root cause is "thinking" within the mental, to change your mental-thinking pattern together with feeling?acting is mere able *alone* to transmute automatically such family constellation or to transmute physical constitution (which correlates with character) as well? Let's even put the question in another way; let's assume somebody who has been working with autosuggestions, replaced bad behaviour with good one etc. for long time but not so successfully. Then he tries some other methods like Hellinger family constellation or homeopathy ? and its is quite common that those methods can bring about radical change (radical-root-radix)! ? the question remains: Why was affirmation/transmutation/behaviour-changing not enough alone (or what did that persons wrong or miss or not consider), when the root cause just lies within thinking, as it is said? It's less about that I or you *have* to do *all* those methods and stuff or just any one of them at all but rather about getting a deeper understanding what "thinking" itself is or what "constitution" is (what about DNA/genes and emotional-thinking- patterns?) and how theses two - *body-mind* - are related or correlated (or individual mind-familyspirit), since as Rawn once said himself, the final goal *why* you do that is to transform *root cause*, not just your symptoms in order to achieve real Equilibrium. Nowadays, most scientists or philosophers consider the root cause of human behaviour or counsciousness within the physical body (also Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Flow Principle or Paul Allen FB Research), although "philosophy of mind" is not yet resolved completely and some scienticst agree that reprogramming is possible and therein lies a little freedom a human being has - generally human beings just "think" to have free will although they don't. When Bardon was alive, such questions were not as vital as they are presently, but if we really want to consider hermetics as serious all- embracing science, such problems can not be just ignored.
