Hi Rawn While you're still accessible, I thought I might venture a few last questions, if permitted. Jumping ahead of myself a bit, a few things I've been pondering over regarding some future IIH training, as follows: 1. The Light Principle Step VII discusses the use of the Universal Light a.k.a. the Light Principle (presumably an aspect of the Fire Element), when directly encouraging the development of clairvoyance. When working with the clairaudience, and clairsentience exercises, the Elements of Air & Water are used in their pure form, yet not so with clairvoyance. Rather, what appears to be an aspect of Fire, i.e. Light, is used instead. The penetrating attribute of `light' seems an appropriate ideation given that it is clairvoyance that's being worked on, however,are there additional reasons why Fire in its pure elemental form is not used in this case? Could you possibly elaborate further on the nature of the Light principle?, and what's described as `the Lights' in various places by Bardon. 2. Dynamically accumulating energies. Within the IIH format, the student learns to accumulate/condense the pure elements ? Fire, Air, Water & Earth, internally and externally, and later on, the Fluids. A similar advanced practice is revealed and actively pursued with the cosmic letters in KTQ. Between the basic IIH practice and the extremely advanced KTQ practice, apparently there are many other universal energies that could be accumulated, yet don't appear to be explicitly mentioned (or am I looking at this completely wrong?) For example, in PME, I'm assuming one learns to accumulate/condense the Sephirothic energies in a similar manner to the Elemental/Fluid work in IIH in order to provide a suitable environment for the Higher Beings to reside during evocation? Either prior or upon reaching PME, is it a worthwhile practice or an unnecessary diversion to look towards the accumulation/condensation of the Zodiacal energies? Given that astrology has a lot to say regarding the make- up/tendencies of our characters, and Elemental equilibrium, armed with an insightful birth-chart, would condensing these energies internally offer an additional practice serving to counteract any disharmonies, etc.? Plus various other potential benefits/applications? Thanks Richard
