     Dear Rawn,

    It was quite straightforward. :-)

    I understand that as the name itself suggests, "introspection"
    exercises refer to trying to evaluate ours inner selves without
    relying on others. I have indeed my own thoughts and opinions about
    earthly ambitions, BUT since I am far from perfection, since my
    senses are not fully developed and since I have very little
    experience in life, I consider analysing and contemplating upon the
    ideas of other people - who might raise points that I have not
    thought about - as an integral part of my evaluation process. The
    way I see it (and please correct me if you disagree), evaluation is
    when I gather all the possible and available information from all
    possible sources (including mine, my parents', the milkman's and the
    taxi drivers'), and then make MY OWN conclusion about it.
    The reason I asked the question, was that I wanted to hear the
    opinions of others. I would not necessarily rely upon them, but I
    would take them into consideration :-) I do not consider this method
    as perfect, but rather as the best tool currently available at my
    disposal.

    Also, from what I understand (thanks to a web page on your site),
    Hermetics do not say that "universal truth" is subjective, but
    rather that those people whose senses are not developed see the same
    truth subjectively. Hermetics do not say that only because one sees
    things differently, he sees them correctly, as many post modern
    philosophies suggest.
    Since my senses are not fully developed, since my ability to judge
    is limited, I am very likely to come to a very personal conclusion
    about money, career or indeed any other topic, which from my own
    perspective will be absolutely true and sincere (plus will have the
    affirmation of my "inner voice"), but yet will be the total opposite
    of the objective truth.
    I don't want this to happen :-)

    Again, thanks for your insight, help and dedication.

    --David
