    Dear 'mj',

    >> So is Greer being reckless by suggesting Tifereth be located in the
    area of the heart, and by encouraging beginners to cultivate this area?
    <<

    I don't have "Circles of Power" so I don't know what his actual
    instructions are.

    >> One of my reasons for thinking Tifereth might be in the area of
    the heart was in mapping directly the tree of life onto the chakra
    system, so that the Muladhara chakra relates to Malkhut, Swadisthana
    to Yesod, and so on. Clearly, this is not entirely accurate and needs
    to be rethought. <<

    As Chuck pointed out, there's no profit to be had from trying to make
    this direct correlation. Lots of folks have tried but in my opinion,
    this is pointless and leads to a mis-understanding of the Tree of Life.

    >> I did note that Bardon places the "depth point" of the person in the
    solar plexus. <<

    This is one of those points in IIH where if you have not done everything
    that Bardon has instructed up to that point in the Work, you will assume
    incorrectly. Some call this a "blind".

    At the beginning of Step Five, Bardon wrote an interesting little essay
    about Archimedes and the depth point. Near the end of which he stated:
    "The scholar is advised to meditate very intensively about this problem,
    and he will be able to open up profundities he never dreamed of and a
    high intuition will be his reward." *Assuming* that the scholar
    actually had pursued this intensive meditation about the depth point, he
    then proceeded to introduce "Space Magic" and the transference of the
    scholar's consciousness into the depth point of external objects. If
    the scholar did not already figure out that the depth point is *not* a
    point in physical space, then these exercises with external objects will
    either teach them this or become incredibly frustrating.

    Let's look at the meditation that Bardon described. It's based upon
    transferring your consciousness to the exact center point of a form.
    When you do that you'll find that the center of any form is *infinitely
    small*. In other words, is has no spatial value, no size whatsoever.
    Furthermore, within that center point, one finds the *infinitely
    infinite*.

    Simply transferring your consciousness into the physical center of an
    object has very little value as an exercise and has no relevance to the
    depth point. Furthermore, the solar plexus is not the exact physical
    center of most human bodies. Nor is it in any way the "beginning of the
    form", as Bardon described the depth point.

    Ultimately, the scholar pursuing these exercises will figure these
    things out and realize that Bardon's words here cannot be taken
    literally.

    My best to you,
