>     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
