    Dear David:

`I might add that the "wanting" is in the context of all the other things you might want. I like to think of it in terms of "opportunity cost" (in essence, every hour you invest doing one thing is an hour you are not doing other things). You have to make a considered decision about what you value more. Do you want to spend an hour doing the IIH exercises more than an hour spent playing with your kids? Reading a good book? Walking in the park? If so, why?`
`I think answering these kinds of questions relates to your work on soul mirrors. In my opinion, Bardon's work defines a kind of "fast track" to spiritual maturity. In my own case, I left this path because deep down, I am enjoying my spiritual youth and would rather be playing with the kids, reading, walking and so on, than spending the time it would take to master the 10 steps. It's a choice each of us has to make (and again, in my opinion, step 2 seems to be the point where most people make this decision).`

    Respectfully, /RM/
