    Dear Martin,

    >> Firstly allow me to apologize for not replying to your reply sooner.
    Since you posted it, I have read it several times, but wanted to wait
    until I had enough time to really consider what you had written and try
    to understand it before replying.
    I must admit that this plan has failed somewhat, as I still do not
    understand a lot of what you wrote. I do, however, appreciate you
    having taken the time to reply in such detail and attempt to walk me
    through the concepts so patiently. <<

    :) No problem. I had the sense that you were digesting and understood
    that there was a lot to chew on there.

    >> Although I understand the initial distinction here, I cannot grasp
    the idea beneath the concept of 'good' forms selfishness which
    brings us to true knowledge. Does this mean looking inward at
    oneself, studying one's character, meditating upon how one is linked
    to the Macrocosm? <<

    Yes, that is one good example.

    >> OK, I think I understand that. The Creator and Man are one, it is
    simply an individual's perception which can led to a sense of distance
    from the Creator. Is that correct? <<

    Yes, that's exactly his point. :) Furthermore, actions rooted in the
    perception of separation cause the deepening of that sense of
    separation.

    >> OK, wow... now my head is hurting. I do understand the concept of the
    "screen" and how it relates to character transformation, but as for the
    complex issue of desires, I think I'll let it dawn on me as/when I am
    ready :-) <<

    ;-) Sounds like a good plan.

    >> This made me wonder if the ten steps of IIH correspond with the ten
    Sephiroth of the Tree of Life. If so, do we count Malkuth as
    corresponding with step one? Or as we are already manifest in the
    physical, does it connect instead with Yesod? In which case, would Daath
    correspond to step seven? Or is there absolutely no link at all? <<

    I suggest that you read http://www.ABardonCompanion.com/8T-Steps.html
    While it's primarily in the context of the correlation between the 8T
    and IIH, it does discuss the relation between the Steps and the Sephirot
    themselves.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
