    Hey Chuck,

    >>Then I take that thought
    to sleep with me to be worked on in the subconscious as I impregnate
    the opposite characteristic from the negative and it works....
    There are many fine tools to deal with negating the negative trait,
    also I find that I spend time inbreathing the Divine virtue that is
    the opposite of the negative trait.<<

    That all sounds good to me too. I agree that the tools provided are very
    good and effective even in step 1. In fact I sometimes find myself in the
    paradoxical position of why bother to progress! I also think Bardon's genius
    was in
    writing something so infinitely flexible and yet so definite. We all start
    from such different places.

    My only other comment on the whole process so far is that the mental helps
    with the astral. As in, once you get good at Thought Discipline you can
    meditate on the tetragrammaton itself and its significance, and then be
    constantly
    aware, initiate a kind of rolling program of mirror work, doesn't even need to
    be written down in a way, of observing its operation in your life. Can all
    sort of be noted as you go and even start to be corrected on the spot day to
    day. I find that really helpful. Life gets to be your mirror.

    I don't find the whole 'opposite characteristic' thing works for me so well
    though. As in, you felt fear so you breathe in courage - because it seems too
    general.... do you know what I mean? What I feel works best personally is
    really like one of those old 'choose your own adventure' books - where you took
    what seems a wrong turn. You turn back and see what you should have done. It a
    ll kind of comes down to knowing what one should do but being afraid of
    opening oneself to love - fear and love seem like the uber-fault and
    uber-virtue
    if you like.

    So I kind of ask myself the question, 'What would I have to have been
    feeling/believing/thinking/etc. to have acted differently?' And the cool thing
    is
    if you phrase it like that it's always a positive, never negative. Then
    breathe that in and just be confident you've changed. This way your life
    becomes a
    story you're writing. Which is like saying, until you do step 1-3 life is
    writing you!

    It reminds me a bit of what Rawn describes in the 'Centre of Stillness'
    meditation, where you lift yourself up and look down and see all the threads of
    your life, and you can reposition them. I seem to understand these threads as
    stories that one is involved in. It helps too with all the grading, of what
    you want to tackle 1st etc., especially with a problem I keep having which is
    wanting to solve it all, *now*! That could be described as a change of tone
    in the narrator's voice maybe, as in I need to learn to tell myself the story
    of myself as calmly as possible! But I love reading and stories so this is why
    it works this way for me. In general I think whatever one loves is going to
    be helpful.

    best to you, Jason
