    Dear 'ihya1347',

    >> In one of the replys to the 'nature of the astral and mental
    bodies of plants, animals,& objects ' etc, I believe Rawn said that
    everything was an expresion of an eternal mental body. But in PME,
    Bardon says that what makes humans 'made in the image of god' is
    that they possess all 4 elements, which makes them a little picture
    of the universe, the wholde microcosm/macrocosm deal. Because of
    that ( and im shaky on this, PME is just a bit out of my leauge..:) )
    the human spirit is imortal, capable of reincarnation, etc. <<

    In that passage, Bardon was speaking specifically of the differences
    between a *being of the Elements* and a human being. The beings of the
    Elements are composed of just one Element and do not themselves have an
    eternal mental body. Or rather, their eternal mental body is the
    Element itself. What makes something "made in the image of G-d" is that
    it possesses a physical, astral and mental body which stems from an
    eternal, Akashic root. A being of the Elements exists only at the
    astral level and does not possess the full array of bodies.

    >> So would say, a tree's spirit be "imortal" because its an expresion
    of the idea of a tree? and that expression lasts even when the tree is
    physicaly destroyed? <<

    Yes.

    >> What about the different elements, Bardon says that only human beings
    possess all 4, <<

    No, this is not what Bardon wrote. He did not say that *only* human
    beings are composed of four Elements. ALL physical things are composed
    of four Elements.

    >> In your response about the alchemical properties of different
    objects, i believe you said that what made the object powerful was how
    purely it expresed its idea. So, if an object could purely express an
    element, would that be the reason certain objects are atributed to
    different sephirot/planets, like iron is atributed to mars because it
    expresses the element of fire well....? <<

    Essentially, yes.

    >> Just a bit more and this barage of questions will be over :) In
    the self healing archaeous, im stuck at the step requiring astral
    projection, since I havn't learned that ability yet. If anyone could
    offer any advice on this, or just clue me in if its better to simply
    wait until I encounter astral projection in IIH, it would be greatly
    apreciated. <<

    If you are referring to Lesson Four which concerns the *passive
    separation* of the astra-mental body, then what's holding you back is
    likely to be the prerequisite of completion of Step Two of IIH and the
    attainment of the "rudimentary Elemental balance". If, on the other
    hand, you are referring to Lesson Seven, I'd say it's again not having
    achieved the prerequisites that is holding you back.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
