    Dear Martin,

    >> (one of my main problems is that I do find it difficult to
    concentrate on more than one 'major' thing at a time - I have always
    shifted from one project to another and then back again.) <<

    Two things here. Number one, when we recognize a problem or a habit
    that no longer serves us, it's time to *change that habit* but using our
    failing as an excuse for continuing on in the same vein is not allowed.
    ;-)

    Number two is that I suggest you don't think of your "spiritual work" as
    a "major thing". If you put it in that category then you've immediately
    set yourself up for problems. Instead, I suggest you think of it as a
    necessity like feeding yourself or sleeping.

    >> Now I suddenly feel I must refocus on my spiritual development and
    have had a strong urge to read about esoteric/spiritual topics. I am
    currently reading 'Hermetica' and 'The Book of the Sacred Magic of
    Abramelin the Mage'. <<

    I find it interesting when some one, with one breath, talks about the
    books they're reading -- which takes considerable time -- and in the
    next breath mentions that they don't have the time for their exercises .
    . . Which is more important?

    >> My focus on my spiritual development seems to wax and wane in six
    month cycles and I do not know whether to accept this as the way things
    are or find a way to change it. <<

    Have you tried either of these options? Have you tried changing it, or
    even tried accepting it?

    >> Also, if I do find a way of incorporating the practice of IIH into my
    life again, would you recommend starting again from scratch including
    the re-working of my soul mirrors? <<

    Yes, I would. However, it won't exactly be from scratch since you've a
    pretty good idea what's involved and you know the process, etc. The
    second time around, Step One is much easier. :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
