    Hello Rawn,

    How much time can be extended the exercises of step 1? One hour,
    > for example?
    "I recommend that you follow the guidelines Bardon offered in that
    > regard"

    Well, but Bardon doesn´t say how much time should last an exercise. He only
    says how much time should last the control of the exercise itself (for
    example, ten minutes in the case of the thought control exercise.)

    I am afraid I didn´t explain myself very well. What I wanted to say is if
    there can be negative traits that can´t be beaten only for autosuggestion
    and it could be necessary be devoted to action.

    I have three questions more:

    You say that behind a negative trait there´s always something positive
    hidden. Well, I don´t understand very well that idea. I don´t see what
    positiveness can be behind such things like hate, low autoesteem,
    aggresiveness, etc. Could you explain it?

    You say that the atribution of the traits to a particular element must be
    done in function of the root traits. But what if ALL your root traits
    pertain to a same element? The psique is a complex puzzle, but all its
    elements are related. Can be possible that ALL your negative traits pertain,
    for example, to the fire element?

    You say that the changing of the traits will balance the Elemental
    composition regardless of whether or not you have assigned the items
    correctly. Then, is the Elemental division totally irrelevant or has it
    importance in the higher steps?

    Thanks again, Rawn :)

    JOA
