>> I think you can just take what is useful and works from different places just like Bardon and other advanced adepts. Even Bruce Lee did this with his martial art, and he made it a important principle: using what works. << Both Bardon and Bruce Lee *deeply* studied and practiced each of the disciplines they espoused and combined into their resulting systems of practice. In other words, they truly understood those disciplines *before* they began combining. They didn't "just take what is useful and works from different places" based upon a *superficial* understanding of those different disciplines. It is both unwise and dangerous to mix disciplines based only upon a superficial and often erroneous understanding of them. It is most certainly counter-productive to the pursuit of Bardon's disciplined system of initiation.
