    G'day Chuck & Dan,

    So glad you found my suggestions useful! :-)

    midst of our acting or reacting. Bravo! <

    Indeed. To me, that's the meaning of Step 1, Spirit, Exercise 2a:
    Giving your full attention to *everything* that you do.

    A friend told me a few years ago about a book she'd read. The
    author made the point that if we acquire the habit of "giving our
    full attention to everything we do", two things happen:

    1. We become aware of just how much choice we have in every moment
    (eg, "This glass is raising to my lips, because *I choose* for - and
    will - it to happen");

    2. We begin to interact with others with *full consciousness*.

    The implication of the first outcome is that we find less reason to
    think of ourselves as "victims". We begin to see ourselves as
    Empowered: "Look at how much control I exercise in every moment of
    my life - I'm not a victim all!".

    The implication of the second is that *we choose* how we behave in
    every moment, by bringing our emotions under *our* control. No
    longer do we impulsively reach for the gun in the glove compartment
    when someone cuts us off on the freeway! ;-) ;-)

    Of course, Bardon's system of Initiation takes this further by
    welding the Soul Mirror tools to the Step One, Spirit, 2a exercise.

    See ya,

    Jason
