    Hi,I am new to this group and the work of Franz Bardon. I stumbled
    across him when doing some web searches for work on chakras and
    working with the four elements (I'm a keen meditator). I was very
    impressed with what I read about FB and his writings, and the way in
    which everyone said that his system always works for the sincere
    practitioner, so I have decided to try it, starting with IIH.

    It was suggested I introduce myself, so here goes. I am in my late
    fifties, live in a small market town in the hills of Northern
    England, beautiful country, stone circles old burial mounds, etc. I
    am a buddhist, have been for many years, follow no particular teacher
    nowadays, tho I was with a Tibetan group for four years. I am keen to
    deepen my spiritual experiences and improve my meditation and myself.

    I had a strange experience upon encountering Bardon. I couldn't
    really afford to send for his book straightaway, so thought well, it
    will come my way if I need it. Two days later I found twenty pounds
    in the road, the price for ordering it from Amazon! The night before
    I got his book, I had a dream where
    anonymous dark strangers were trying to get into my house at night -
    I live in a peaceful little town - and my children and partner were
    terrified. We were all in the kitchen and I seized a bread knife and
    found myself wondering if it would do the job. Next day, my IIH
    arrived in the post, and... well, on page 17, I read Bardon's analogy
    of the bread knife being useful to cut bread, but a dangerous weapon
    in the hands of a murderer! Strange...

    I have a question for you. I am told by Buddhist teachers that a
    belief in magic is a hindrance to enlightenment, tho they do not deny
    the supernatural. How do I square that one? Also, I meditate kneeling
    on a special bench. Is that OK?

    Hope i have not gone on too long. It is great to have met so many
    sincere practitioners.

    Regards, Uthlagus.
