    This agrees with some Kabbalists' assertion that
    stoicism is a necessary character trait before one can
    begin Kabbalistic work (see Aryeh Kaplan's book on
    meditation and kabbalah).

    The use of the Magic of Breath in Step 1 may be of
    great use to assist in the development of the quality
    of stoicism. However, where I have found difficulty is
    in the elemental attributes of the manifestation of
    stoicism in my character.

    Let me illustrate:

    I am an air person. Actually I am VERY "airy" in
    nature. What I have found is that, whilst trying to
    become more stoic, I react less emotionally to
    negative situations, but this is coupled with an
    intellectual justification for my own stoicism. The
    danger here is that, once if these intellectual
    constructs are found to be false, it becomes harder to
    be stoic...

    I have been trying to go back to basics and use the
    Magic of Breath to become stoic in an equilibriated
    way rather than in an elementally-biased way. I feel
    that this should help me acheive both "first order"
    and "second order" equilibrium (to use mathematical
    terms) straight away.

    Has anyone else had similar experiences? If so, what
    other techniques have you been trying to reduce the
    "second order" effects of astral equilibriating?

    Kindest regards

    Dan
