    Dear Alexandra,

    >> I have been working on this now, but still find myself too active. I
    kind of slip into emptiness of mind, and upon emergence, start to
    think, -well, you just observed emptiness... great! Now what? And
    then the dreaded dialog starts up. I can stop it fairly easily, but
    often slip back to
    emptiness. <<

    The brain will slow of its own accord when you do not participate in its
    activity. For some, the mind goes completely silent after a short
    time of passive, uninvolved observation, so don't be afraid of observing
    this silence with equal passivity. Mental silence is not an indication
    that you're doing something wrong. The idea here is to passively
    observe *whatever* transpires in your brain -- there doesn't *have to
    be* thoughts for you to observe and imposing the need for observable
    thoughts is *not* passive observation. ;)

    >> I will keep working on (1) of the thought control, magical schooling
    of the Spirit, until I get it right. But how about the other parts of
    Step 1? Like the schooling of the soul (soul mirror), the body, breath,
    nourishment? Should they all be worked on simultaneously, kind of like
    a unit? <<

    ***Yes!!!*** Bardon instructed that the magical training must be
    balanced and that *all three* sections of each Step (mental, astral and
    physical) should be pursued in unison, simultaneously, one *with* the
    other. Whilst you are doing the mental exercises, you should
    *simultaneously* be working on the construction of your soul mirror and
    upon the physical exercises. The exercises of the three sections of
    each Step go hand in hand with each other.

    The exercises in each section are done in the sequence indicated. In
    other words you would start with the first exercise of each section and
    work on them *together*. When, for example, you have mastered the
    mental observation exercise, you move on to the one pointedness.
    Invariably, you will still be working on the first part of the astral
    exercise, so you continue on with it until it's complete. Likewise,
    with the physical exercises, each time you master one, move on to the
    next. Generally, it will take approximately the same amount of time to
    master all of the exercises in each section, but if it doesn't then you
    keep perfecting what you have mastered of the finished section while you
    complete the unfinished section. Only when the exercises from all three
    sections have been mastered do you go on to the next Step.

    >> I downloaded Archaeous folder 2 and 3, but they are empty? Folder 1
    contained the intro and the first exercise. <<

    Something must have gone wrong somewhere in your download process. I
    just now checked all of the links to Lessons 2 and 3 and they do contain
    the .zip files. I suggest that you try again with the .zip files or,
    alternately, download each of the .mp3 parts individually.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
