RE: [BardonPraxis] making the magic mirrors

["Simon Proteus" <SimonProteus@...>]

Hello,
I feel your pain. I've had the same problem.

Here are thre things you may find helpful.
1) Keep a small notebook with you at all times (a palm pilot or recorder of 
some kind is fine too), and jot things down as they come to you. For 
instance: if you find that you put off taking out the garbage or feel 
frusterated in traffic or whatever, jot it down. I found that doing this 
removed me from some of my discomfort because I wasn't actively sitting down 
to think about my shortcomings... it felt more organic. Be sure to get rid 
of your records once you've transferred the information to your soulmirror.
2) During your times of introspection, stop "trying". Know why you are 
sitting down to do work, ask yourself the appropriate questions and just 
wait for the answer. Don't force it. Be gentle with yourself.
3) Take online personality tests or even send away for psychological 
evaluations. This has helped me get the juices flowing on numerous 
occasions. Even if you feel that the tests are inaccurate, at least it gets 
you started on introspection.

I would say that I have few reservations about introspection now, although 
I'm certainly not perfect at it.

I hope this helped a little.

Bryce
