    I guess it is the same for me, in some ways. I have a family and my
    own business, and like spending time with both, but would rather
    explore my new discovery. I guess the most positive way of looking at
    it, for me, is to say, well, this is the workshop where I try out
    what I am learning about myself. I look forward to my nights, when I
    meditate and study (I just started and am on Step One) I wondered
    whether to put off IIH until I had time, I am moving house, the
    business is very busy, etc. but I decided that as I am getting quite
    old now, I had better sieze the day!

    Another problem with retiring from the world, I have observed, is
    that one can become lost in a backwater. I saw quite a bit of this
    when I used to belong to Buddhist communities. I visited one fairly
    remote one in Scotland, where a group of people who lived there were
    not just arguing about what day of the week it was, they were arguing
    what month it was! For me, if it don't work in the world I live in,
    then I don't think it's worth working on. Hope this helps. I agree,
    that Bardon is great and a lot of fun, it's working for me, and is
    very exciting.
