    Dear Ray,

    >> Last week, I spoke with one of the translators at Merkur Publishing
    and asked about Bardon's admonition regarding learning the theory before
    attempting the steps. I explained my intention to seriously study that
    material while going through the steps and his reply was that it would
    prolong my development; unnecessarily extend my progress by 20+ years.
    <<

    Baloney! ;-) ;-) ;-) One should indeed seriously study the theory
    section and, as Bardon suggested, meditate extensively upon it, but even
    so, much of it will be incomprehensible until the moment that its
    reality is *experienced*. The theory *helps* us intellectually
    comprehend the point and basis of the exercises but it is the exercises
    themselves which bring *understanding*.

    >> To me, it seems that knowledge of the theory wouldn't become
    absolutely necessary until one has reached the third step, in which by
    then I would be well versed. I'm only on the first step and really
    enjoy how they've already positively affected me and can't seem to see
    the danger in going through the first couple steps while learning the
    theory. Any thoughts or suggestions? <<

    I suggest that you proceed as you are and ignore what the folks at
    Merkur told you. I also suggest that you study the theory and meditate
    upon it while you're engaging in your exercises. In fact, this can be a
    great way to practice the techniques of mental discipline (see
    http://www.ABardonCompanion.com/Deep.html).

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
