    Hi Eric:

    If I remember correctly, in the front part of IIH, it states that the end
    results of Self-Mastery is union with the divine. What that would be is
    unimaginable to the finite mind. One would have to have the experience first
    before finding out what it is.

    Hi Eric:

    "Thanks for your quote from Ouspensky. I have also read In Search of the
    Miraculous by Ouspensky."

    This particular extract comes from a book of questions and answers intitled"the
    fourth way" (just to make sure not to annoy academics!)

    "He has stated that negative emotions rule the world. But they also rule
    individual lives. Jung referred to the "collective unconscious" Maybe this
    iswhat the Apostle Paul was referring to when he spoke of secret faults.
    Themore one practices self-awareness and that state of consciousness which has
    been called mindfulness, the more they detach from the level of collective
    unconscious, which I believe Ouspensky called automatism and they slowly become
    a part of the circle of conscious humanity."

    In this ligth I came to REALLY appreciate the instructions of Bardon's stepone,
    as he ecourages us to develop all those tools that we take for granted (not
    anymore!) ,observation,mindfulness, plus the correspondances with the elements.
    Well equiped to start serious work, being able to observe ourselves with
    honesty and to start refining our being.

    Time is for action.

    "Thanks for your comments.

    Robert"

    Thank you.

    Eric

    I have a couple of questions for evrybody

    Self-knowledge is so important, is it only a 1st step to be taken ?(i do
    understand the importance for being able to DO, and self-mastery)

    What is the relation between self mastery and Union with the divine? is it to
    allow a proper "descent" of that particular power?, as a well tuned instrument
    in a middle of an orcherstra?

    Thank you.

    Eric
