    Dear Hilikus77,

    >> I have a question for all of you, concerning the elemental balance.
    Since elements are associated with senses, if we had success with all
    the mental exercices of step 2, does that mean we have the elements
    equilibrate enough to switch to step 3 ?
    I would answer yes, but i'd really like to hear what you think as i'm
    not really sure. I think this test (to see if you are equilibrate) is
    much more accurate than using the soul mirror. What do you think of
    that ? <<

    This alone is not a suitable gauge. Please look at what Bardon had to
    say about it in his very first paragraph of "Magic Psychic (Astral)
    Training (III)" [p.79 of the Ruggeberg edition and p.101 of the Merkur
    edition] --

    "Before starting on the training for this step, the astral equipoise
    of the elements in the soul has to be established by introspection and
    self-control unless you wish to do mischief to yourself. If it is
    absolutely sure, that none of the elements is prevailing, you ought to
    keep working on the refinement of the character, in the course of the
    development, but you might as well go on to work with the elements in
    the astral body."

    In other words, he suggests the Soul Mirror as the gauge, not one's
    success with the sensory concentration exercises. Remember, the Step
    Three work with the Elements is an *astral* exercise, as is the Soul
    Mirror work. The sensory concentration exercises, on the other hand,
    are *mental* exercises, and while they do impact the *astral* equipoise
    of the Elements, their main transformative value is in regard to the
    mental equipoise.

    As always, in order to progress to the next Step, one must first master
    the exercises in *all three* sections of the present Step. Mastery of
    the sensory concentration exercises alone is not sufficient. One must
    also have progressed in the character transformation to the degree
    Bardon indicated (i.e., one must have transformed the strongest, most
    influential negative traits and *know* from the evidence provided by
    their Soul Mirror that "none of the elements is prevailing").

    There is no "test", per se, of this other than your own self-knowledge.
    Either you know that you have achieved this rudimentary equipoise or you
    know that you haven't. It's really that simple. :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
