    Dear Alan:

    "The dark night of the soul" is a term used to describe that "lull between two
    activities". Those interludes of silence, withdrawingness and detachment which
    are difficult and dark. The moment before the light streams forth.

    In thinking of ways to link between my practices of Self-Healing Archaeous
    and IIH, I thought about the room impregnation of Step 3. Could this be used
    to alert you to someone coming to interrupt you? For instance, if I
    impregnate the room with the idea that I be alerted if anyone was coming in,
    could that help to lessen the danger of someone coming in while performing
    the work of Lesson 4 of SHA? Even with a locked door, an unplugged
    phone, and light off, there is the chance that someone would not pay any
    attention to your wishes and interrupt you without thinking. "Oh the door's
    locked... I'll just knock real hard... that will get his attention...." ;)

    So could this be used? Or would the alerting be too much of an interruption.
    My thinking was that this would allow me the extra time to begin integrating
    back into my physical body before the actual interruption occurred and side
    step some if not all of the effects from being interrupted while separated.
    And if this can be used, would it be better to say impregnate the hallway,
    rather than my room?

    Something else that struck me while I was reading excerpts from Rawn's site,
    is the use of the negative fire element. Bardon says that while accumulating
    the fire element in the body, one could, after much practice, produce a fever.
    Fever being the bodies natural mechanism to fight off bacteria and such, it
    occurred to me that this might be used to say help along the immune system
    fighting a cold ;) Someone might go to class all day without a jacket or coat
    in 30*F whether or something ;) Anyway, if this could be used, would one
    use the positive or negative fire element? I'm guessing that I've been using a
    neutral fire element (so to speak) while performing the accumulation
    exercise. If this is so, I'm assuming all one would need to do is impress the
    visualization with the idea that it would be destructive to bacteria and germs
    and thus would need to use the negative fire element.

    And a final question, this one directed to Rawn specifically:
    http://www.abardoncompanion.com/WhyPME.html
    In the correspondance entitled "Why Practice Magical Evocation" you say the
    following:

    >> In other words, the awareness of the expanded Self *must* already be a
    manifest part of the initiate's mundane existence -- it *must* reach ALL the
    way "down" and touch the soil and take root before it can grow upwards.
    Without this rooting, so well provided through Bardonian evocation, the
    crossing *might* succeed (though most likely not) but there would, without a
    doubt, be *no* chance of surviving the subsequent "dark night of the soul".
    <<

    I was wondering if you could elaborate further on what the "dark night of the
    soul" is or maybe at least why it is experienced. The term sounds familiar but
    I can't recall reading it anywhere or anything of that nature. I've certainly
    never had anyone use it in a conversation before ;) Of course if you can't
    (lack of words or do not wish to) I understand.

    All Will Go Well,
    --Alan
