    Thanks for your reply. You understood what my problem was from how I
    described it and so your suggestion is a solution, and I'm going to
    use it and see where I can get with it.

    I didn't really start working on the initiation by working on all
    three levels at the same time. I just experimented with the first
    mental excercise to see how it would be. I didn't do the excercise
    correctly and it just turned into a emptiness of mind excercise
    where I was cancelling out all the thoughts that came into my head.
    It had a very relaxing result but that was the only positive of the
    excercise, I had it wrong. Thanks again for your help.
