Hello there. I've just signed up, but I have been lurking around the forums for a few weeks, and I kept seeing this book brought up. I did some research on it, and I only heard positive things about it. I bought the book about 2 weeks ago, I must say---so far it's a very eligible work. To be honest, I had some fear that the book would be way over-the top. Fortunately, it's really a "PHD level" novel. Bardon goes straight to the point, and avoids any un-needed fluff.
First, I want to personally thank whoever recommended it (I believe it was "Aunt Clair").
Second, would anyone mind helping me out/giving me pointers as I move through the step system?
I'm going through the book slowly, so I absurb everything. I mean, no use rushing the process, right? The book's not going anywhere. So, after going through the theory, I'm on Step I.
Any pointers/tips that helped you get through the exercises with clear proficiency? I've read all of the Step I exercises, but I have forced myself to follow his precedure. The thing is though, in theory, I find exercise #3 (in Step I still of course), the easiest out of all of them. Why is THIS exercise labeled "Thought Mastery"? I've been reading a lot about the book, and it's said that Bardon was a perfectionist, and it's OK to change the order of the exercises around--as long as you don't move ahead of the Steps of course. Is this agreeable? You members here most likely know far more than I do about the particular subject, and I'd like to hear your thoughts.
