• Set the house in order. This means that we must find some economic security, we must keep the physical house healthy...and we must adjust the domestic scene so that people with whom we live will be amenable to the search.
• Find a person or persons who have been down the road we wish to follow. Look for books that will advise or furnish coordinative material. Travel in this regard if necessary, but never allow travel to become an escape in itself from you interior work.
• Find your fellow-seekers.
• Find a place to meet, and work together with these teachers and fellow-seekers.
Mental Steps:
• Implement regular, periodic, mental exercises with directed meditation.
• Use Koan concentration (ie: Who am I? Who is thinking this? Where does this feeling come from?)
• Use self-confrontation. That is to find for yourself ways and means of self- analysis.
Essential Steps:
• Reverse the vector.
Reversing the vector is also called backing away from untruth
(http://tatfoundation.org/forum2002-04.htm)
• Find the obstacles that you must learn in order to avoid them in the process of reversal.
• Allow the ego to be eliminated, as it is the main obstacle.
• Find transmission from someone who has attained. (This transmission can best be effected in Ashram life.)
