    Dear Rawn,

    You're response is quite surprising, and quite synchronous to say the
    very least. You see, for the past month or so, divine providence has
    been all but kicking me in the arse with a steel toed shoe to start
    working on a higher level than I am currently to help those members
    of my friends and family that need help and healing on a number of
    levels.

    So there have been these omens popping up left, right and center in
    all shapes and forms that told me to get on with this more advanced
    work. Eventually cumulating in the form of your response. Apparently
    divine providence seems to have gotten tired of trying to tell me
    these things in a roundabout, subtle way and has resorted to more
    direct methods.

    When these omens started appearing I felt that there where three
    possible reactions that I could take to them: First, I could view it
    as a temptation, something to try and draw me away from the slow and
    steady path with promises of fast progress; Secondly, I could
    interpret it as a trial, to see if I can deal with these situations
    upon the level that I am currently working at; or, lastly, I could
    interpret it as a raising the bar, a challenge to see if I could
    actually do this work and apply it practically to help those that
    need to be helped within my family and friends.

    I have been acting in accord primarily with the second and third
    options by working fairly diligently upon the current steps within
    IIH that I have been working on, and conversing with you on all sorts
    of matters which eventually lead me to the conclusion that I should
    go ahead with beginning work of KTQ after I had a little bit of an
    epiphany concerning Bardon's statement about learning the letters
    like a child. Which is an extremely true statement, but also one with
    considerable depth that goes beyond what Bardon talks about within
    KTQ, I believe. I'm sure you already know something along these
    lines, but I'm sure some others would benefit seeing how all of the
    labours of IIH seem to fit into the greater picture of the work of
    Kaballah.

    Whomever picks up the KTQ and starts work upon it, be they an
    absolute beginner or a scholar that has gone through the steps of IIH
    up to step eight, will have to learn the letters like a child:
    learning each letters colour, tone, feeling and legality one by one
    and step by step. In much the same way that a child would learn the
    alphabet by being able to print out the letters, pronounce them, form
    words with them, speak these words and eventually make the leap from
    printing to writing as well as the further refinement of their
    eloquence.

    While the beginner and the magician both have to learn the letters
    like a child, the magician has the advantage in the fact that he
    knows, understands and can speak a number of different languages. The
    first language that the scholar learns within his training within IIH
    would be the language with only one or two letters, that is the
    language of vital energy. Now, of course, being a student of Qigong I
    realize that this one letter language is something that can be
    infinitely expanded upon with the addition of the meridians through
    which vital energy flows, the dantian's in which vital energy is
    stored, and the various degrees of quality and accumulation of vital
    energy. In addition to eventually learning that the vital energy is
    made up of relatively equal amounts of magnetic and electric fluid, a
    point that is also well known within the orient under the guise of
    the three forms of vital energy: shen, qi and jing. A triad that very
    much resembles that of Shin Aleph Mem.

    Secondly one learns a language that has more letters in it, namely
    the letters of the four elements that make up the whole of reality
    and can express all sorts of different quantities and qualities.
    Eventually mastering this language via the various finger rituals.
    Yet, this too can be broken down into a binary system of the electric
    and magnetic fluids.

    Thirdly, the scholar learns the language of the electric and the
    magnetic fluids. Which is not really something that I can comment
    overly much about, though it does make me wonder why Bardon placed
    the work with the fluids so late within IIH when he has the scholar
    working with combined forms of these qualities for some time.

    Fourthly, the scholar understands and has a certain degree of mastery
    over the language of the senses: smell, taste, touch, sound, sight,
    emotional significance and mental chatter, via his work with the
    beginning few steps of IIH.

    Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, there is the language of
    essential meaning. A language that Bardon seems to think that the
    scholar should have definitely developed fully by the completion of
    step eight, even thought it is something that is trained in a
    roundabout way in the exercises of every step that I have practiced.
    With the work of the soul mirrors, the introspection into the
    scholars character is an attempt at trying to see essential meaning
    of the scholars self at that moment and time, albeit in a fashion
    that is heavily filtered. With the meditative exercises of thought
    control one is working on quieting the rational mind enough so that
    it can perceive essential meaning, and in fact, true vacancy of mind
    can produce a perception of essential meaning. Though this perception
    of essential meaning is again one that is generally filtered for some
    reason that I do not quite understand. With the sensory concentration
    exercises, the scholar is trying to find the essential meaning of
    sensory perceptions. The conscious reception of food, the mystery of
    breathing, the magic of water, the secret of the subconscious, as
    well as the creation of elementals, are all forms of placing the an
    essential meaning of a desire into the Akasha. The primary difference
    between these exercises being the how well the essential meaning of
    the desire is crafted. Yet it doesn't seem to be until the work of
    the transference of consciousness into another being, and then into
    the Akasha, that a more direct perception of essential meaning is
    trained.

    All of these five different languages of vital energy, the elements,
    the fluids, and essential meaning are the building blocks upon which
    the Universal Language of Kaballah is formed.

    Now, getting off my soapbox and back to the title of this thread:
    questions, questions questions:

    In KTQ Bardon calls for an accumulation of light within both the
    heart and the brain, yet in IIH Bardon repeatedly warns that an
    accumulation of the elements within those two regions is something
    that shouldn't be attempted except by the scholar that has attained
    the faculty of clairvoyance, through which they would be able to see
    the functioning of the internal organs. While the faculty of
    clairvoyance is something that is highly dependent upon the ability
    of direct perception I'm not quite sure that I'm at that level to be
    able to perceive such potential subtle imbalances. Despite the fact
    that years ago I prepared the fire fluid condenser and used it as a
    poultice for some time along with trying to impregnate my eyes with
    the faculty of clairvoyance to not avail. Or is creating an
    accumulation of light different from an accumulation of the elements?
    When working with the first stage of the fire pole working with the
    letters definitely did produce an accumulation within the body, yet
    it is an accumulation that seemed softer and gentler than an
    accumulation of the elements, even though it was just as dynamic.
    Then again, that might also be due to the fact that I was working
    with the A which has a feeling of ease attached to it.

    Physiologically speaking, the eyes are an extension of a brain. So is
    it okay for a person who is just starting to accumulate the elements
    within specific parts of the body within the eyes?

    More questions to come when I have the time to type them all out. :)

    Love and Live well,
    Peter Reist
