    Hello,

    The statement "IIH is too vague and doesn't explain
    things in enough detail" might seem familiar to some
    of you.

    The more I practice, and the less I try to
    "intellectualize" all of this, the more I realize how
    a majority of the spiritual practices out there e.g.
    Yoga, Taoism, Magic, etc. are all basically the same
    thing leading to the same place (from a high
    overview).

    The more success I have with the exercises, the more
    apparent it is that Franz Bardon did not just write a
    book, but rather an outline of experiences that lead
    to successes.

    I understand now that the point of Franz Bardon's
    style of writing was not to transfer knowledge
    (because knowledge is second-hand), but to show you
    a way to "knowing".

    I write this because in the beginning many of the
    posts here and many of Rawn's writings did not make
    any sense to me. I thought, "Oh I need to study this
    and that first before I can read this and do this."
    Not true. Just a word of advice to people feeling like
    I did in the beginning: just practice the exercises
    and worry less about the theory. It will just begin to
    fall into place.

    Here are some simple, but effective methods that have
    turbo boosted my practice:

    1. Don't concern yourself with results, but rather
    work on turning the step you are at into an art form -
    a beautiful work of art that you create daily. Be
    aware of every movement in your day and meditations
    -observe its beauty.

    2. Practice being in the Now. I know this concept is
    beat to death, but it is so true. By constantly being
    aware of the present, you become a master of your
    actions and reactions. Concentration in meditation
    multiplies exponentially.

    3. By being always present, you can catch the
    formation of an emotion and observe it without
    labeling it. This takes some practice, but it is very
    rewarding. It becomes quite amusing in the beginning
    as you learn how to roll-up the observed emotion in
    its early stages of formation and just kind of toss it
    out the window. For example, someone starts an
    argument and your trained awareness brings their ego
    immediately a feeling of contentment and satisfaction.
    No need for useless ego-fed discussions (you'll make
    more friends this way too ;-) ).

    4. Quit judging your efforts. I am quite active
    physically - sports and the gym - and realize it takes
    a lot of time and effort to see any results. I don't
    complain if I don't have muscular sculpted body after
    a few sessions with the weights (I'm patient, a few
    more years ought to do it :-)). I can't observe the
    minute changes occurring in my muscles. Same goes for
    mental training. There are subtle changes going on
    that we aren't aware of. Everything takes time, but
    enjoy your efforts at this moment and forget about
    those visions of master magician down the road (well,
    sometimes is ok... ;-)). This relates to #1 I guess.

    Thanks for reading this spontaneous inspiration in the
    form of email.

    Sincerely,
    Allen Kray
