    Fear of change, that is it. As I work through all of this, that remains
    thecentral issue. It is not the change itself, but not having any idea what
    Imight change into. When I study music or art I hope to become an accomplished
    musician or artist.With this I am less clear about the end results. I only know
    that I am lead to pursue the work. I would like understand how others deal with
    having such a unique view of the world. At times I find the isolation
    distracting.

    Nice to e-hear from you on the BardonPraxis. :)

    >> As to what is needed before actually starting the exercises, that
    seems to be a question about where the "beginning" is. Rawn writes that
    Bardon´s system starts at the beginning, but that´s Rawn ;-) <<

    ;-) ;-) No, it's not just *me*, it's *you* too . . .

    You started the exercises, got a certain ways, and then backed off.
    During the time you backed off, IIH never left you. It, and the work
    you did do, continued to affect you. Eventually, that continuous effect
    instigated sufficient changes within you and here you are, back to the
    exercises again. :)

    *That* *is* how one begins. Most of us have a similar experience with
    IIH, where we begin, back off, mature and restart afresh. *That* is
    *part of* the *process* of IIH.

    This is what I mean by saying that IIH starts at *the* beginning.

    >> In music, if you are to play a difficult piece, like a Chopin etude
    for example, you will probably do many preliminary exercises before
    starting out on the piece itself. <<

    Ah, but *beginning* one's initiation is not equivalent to playing a
    Chopin etude. Beginning initiation (i.e, Step One) is akin to first
    learning what a piano *is* and what it is capable of doing.

    >> It seems that if there´s ONE quality that is central here, it would
    be
    ruthless honesty: How much do I really want it? How much am I prepared
    to
    pay for it? <<

    The other side of that coin is: How unsatisfied with my present-self am
    I? How much am I prepared to gain from pursuing this work? And the
    metal that coin is made from is fear of change . . .

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
