    Yes, I agree that "pride" must be divided since it contains both
    poitive and negative expression. Besides I can´t get rid of what I
    once read in the books of Carlos Castaneda: "Selfimportance is a
    great enemy".
    However it is clear to me that one has to be ready before one takes
    on that one in practice since it´s easy to get depressed trying to
    apply it to ones own reality. The same is true abot the oriental
    doctrine that all is an illusion. Both are of course true but canot
    be applied to early in ones developnent without difficulties.

    Another question that puzzels me is thet Bardon ascribes the tarot
    swords to the element of fire and the wands to the element air.
    Now I have seen dussins of tarotdecks and books that puts swords
    with air and wands with fire. Seems a bit confusing. :)

    In part five of the IIH Bardon talks about setting a pice of cotton
    on fire and lighting candles. This is of no importance to the work
    and not a prerequsite to the practice as I understand it,
    but I still wonder if anyone here succeded with this?
    I have heard about sadhus being able to do this after decades of
    practice (what a waste of time!) but Bardon seems to say that the
    system he presents leads in a much faster way to the relization of
    theese physical manifetations.

    respectfully
