Thank you, Antoine,
for writing me such an encouraging letter. I intend to stick
with my five year plan, even bring elements of it forward. What you
said about the sensitivity of the orchid is right. My sensistivity is
protected at the moment and for the next five years by medication. By
that time I will be living in the circumstances I want in a house I
like, and out in the country, doing contract wotk for them miles and
miles frommy employer. Its in those circumstances that I will make
sustained efforts at self-reemebering in the Gurdjieff school, I will
have reached a certain level in Reiki, and I will be in a safe
enviroment where I can progress. (i.e. if there are times I'm too weird
to go out the front door, at least I can hold my teleworking prograaming
done). I expect to go far in my Taoist and Kundalini yoga, Astral
travel and remote viewing at this time.
All the best,
Tom
