Hi RM,

That is how the practice seems to go. Sometimes you make little 
progressions that are hardly noticable until you look back at them, 
and sometimes you get a huge bump that seems to open your eyes to the 
universe. In this case, my own problem is to try to integrate these 
huge revelations into my daily life. I can get up to a few hours of 
an almost Divine connection where the world takes on a glow of beauty 
that brings tears to my eyes, but it always fades (with horrible 
sadness) as I get slowly caught back up into the heavy reality of 
mundane form. I find that the best way to counteract this is to try 
to re-establish a link with the way I felt at the time of these huge 
revelations. Maybe "feeling" is a water element easy for me, but if 
it's not for you, just try to re-establish a base that evokes the 
same elements you had at the time of your "breakthrough". I think 
it's all about conscious control - so by doing the Bardon exercises, 
we learn how to consciously re-create (or even better, CREATE) the 
conditions needed for growth. 

Btw, I'm only (happily) working my way through Step II, so I'm maybe 
not the best of advisers, but also maybe I'm close enough to remember 
what it's like. Anyway, it starts to get fun after a while (and most 
definitely interesting)
