I suggest we read the entire chapter two and then you can ask questions or share your experience of it.

            After we learn how to lay the foundation in chapter one we cover the next two steps in chapter two; namely preparation and illumination.

               PREPARATION we must cultivate our feeling and thinking life.

                  it is suggested we focus on new life and near death in the process of nature......

                growth and decay become a sort of meditation................we have to observe our thinking and feeling in relation to focusing on things blossoming and things decaying.....

                        the "inner word" thus awakens on the soul level when mastering this exercise with commitment.

                                           this is just the very beginning, could you please respond and share what your thoughts are on chapter two on preparation.

                               thank you. jenny ren.
