    Dear Daniel,

    >> In your opinion, do you think that reading about the results of a
    certain exercise (not even specifically magic) and expecting them is
    helpful to your practice? Detrimental? Irrelevant? <<

    Creating expectations out of information can indeed be detrimental in
    that working with expectations will shape and therefore limit your
    results. However, reading about the *goal* of an exercise, or what will
    *result* from the pursuit of an exercise, doesn't have to lead you to
    *expecting* specific results. Instead, you can see them as standards
    that you must meet in order to have successfully mastered the exercise.
    Aiming for a standard is different than working with expectations and
    whether you treat information as a standard to aim for or as an
    expectation is entirely a matter of choice. In other words, you can
    choose to *not* let information about the exercise affect you as an
    expectation and instead, open yourself to fully experiencing what *is*,
    in that moment..

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
