    Dear Rawn,

    Thanks. Your comments clarifies things alot for me.

    As an after thought, I once heard negative emotions compared to a bear. Very
    quick, very powerful and very destructive. At least rage would be like that.
    There are very subtle emotions that would not be so expressive, but in the long
    run might be as destructive.

    Dear Robroy,

    >> It is difficult for me to understand how you associate auto-immune
    disease with reluctance to be incarnate. Is this something that you
    perceive intuitively to be correct or is it associated with ancient
    teachings <<

    It is what *I* perceive, regardless of teachings on the matter, ancient
    or modern. :)

    >> I wish you would elucidate more fully on this subject. Why is the
    auto-immune system the target? <<

    The auto-immune system isn't the "target" per se. Rather, it is one
    area in which this astral-mental reluctance will manifest within the
    physical body. Do you understand the difference here? Just as your
    liver wasn't the "target" of your anger, but was where your anger
    manifested in your physical body.

    The immune system is supposed to protect our body from foreign organisms
    that would otherwise harm us. With auto-immune disease, the immune
    system sees the components of the body itself as being a foreign
    substance. In other words, the immune system seeks to end the body's
    life instead of preserve it.

    >> It would be difficult for me to conceive of any physical
    manifestation of imbalance to not include the emotional and mental
    elements. However, it would be difficult to determine which came first.
    <<

    The question of which came first is irrelevant since they are, in
    essence, inseparable. Thoughts affect emotions and vise a versa, and
    both affect material substance (albeit, emotions affect material
    substance more directly and more dramatically).

    >> Ancient teachings make reference to the emotional body being the
    major contributor to physical imbalance and thoughts having less
    contribution than people might think. <<

    This is a deceptive statement. Emotions have an immediate affect upon
    the physical body because the are more akin (energetically) to material
    substance than are (normal) thoughts. But the causal root of every
    emotion is a complex of thoughts and patterns of thinking. Emotions do
    not exist without thoughts and thinking -- they are (normally) the avenu
    e by which thoughts impact the material substance of our physical
    bodies. However, Hermetics teaches us that thoughts, given enough
    conscious intention, can directly affect material substance without the
    intermediary of emotion.

    >> A reluctance to be incarnate certainly would involve the emotional
    body in that one might be dissatisfied with their life and circumstances
    and not know how to roll with the punches. I can see from that angle
    how the auto-immune system would be affected. It puzzles me when I
    think of how a particular emotion affects specific organs or systems. <<

    An emotion manifests as a dense astral energy that is very close in type
    to the energy that inhabits material substance. It is so close in type
    that the affect upon material substance is almost immediate (and in some
    cases, is immediate). This is especially true with the physical body.
    For example, when you are embarrassed, you will *immediately* blush.
    The "energy signatures" of specific emotions share an affinity with the
    "energy signatures" of specific organs within the human body; or rather,
    their energies are more similar than with the other energies that
    manifest within the whole physical structure. For example, the
    emotional energetic of anger is very similar to the physical energetic
    of your liver. :) Therefore, your anger has a greater, more direct
    affect upon your liver function than on the rest of your body. Although
    this is not to say that anger has no affect elsewhere in your body as it
    can also be destructive to your adrenals, blood pressure, etc.,
    depending upon *how you manage your anger*.

    >> We are so much in the habit of lying to ourselves through justifying
    our inner contradictions, that we hardly ever desire to get at the root
    cause of our problems. <<

    Yes, it is the nature of the sub-conscious psyche (but not of the
    consciously transformed psyche) to always protect the status quo, so to
    speak. The habit of *not* confronting the truth of our inner self is
    what keeps the psyche below our awareness or *sub-* conscious.

    >> I would think that the major aim of all hermetic students would be to
    learn how to control their passions and emotions and be happy with what
    life has given them, and realize that true happiness comes from the
    inside and does not come from outside events coinciding with one's
    desires and wants. <<

    Yes, and here is where the structure of training that Bardon presented
    shines so brightly in my opinion. He focused *first* upon attaining the
    astral Equilibrium. Without the astral Equilibrium (i.e., the
    understanding of emotions and the mental discipline of them -- what you
    are calling "control"), one fixates only (or at least, primarily) upon
    the emotional significance of what one experiences instead of perceiving
    its essential meaning. This leads to thinking some things are
    significant when in fact they aren't, and vise a versa, to
    underestimating or missing entirely the things that are the most
    meaningful of all.

    My best to you,
