Yeesh... for beginners??
Have you managed to lower your breath rate down to a certain amount per minute yet?

To be honest I haven't really got into the books at all, damn A.A.S seem slow.

By "beginners", I meant for someone just wanting some understanding of the Tree of Life. I didn't mean a beginner so much inits practices.Sorry for the confusion.
Oh yeah, I can slow heart rate significantly. I have a resting heart rate of 51 beats per minute, but can slow it down well into the20's. I am a blackbelt in theNinjitsu martial art (was adopted by an old Japanese family), and meditation was a key component. Perhaps through my already ascertained discipline it was easier for me to hone my meditation even further for spiritual purposes discussed in the Metu Neter.

Plz detail!
One example is how he calls Tehuti (Thoth) a "god", and so some of his discussion on the role of Tehuti doesn't fit clearly into a Kemetic spiritual context in my opinion. If you read actual Kemetic papyri, it is obvious that you would not translate "ntr" as "god" or "ntrw" as "gods". He makes some things sound as if gods are sort of in cooperation with each other, but the neterw are all "divine aspects of the One Supreme Being (God)". He sometimes lacks the Kemetic emphasis of harmony in the universe, harmony between opposing forces (extensively written of in the Doctrine of Opposites) and duality,in describing the functions of the neterw. The work is not bad, but I simply do not agree with how some of the material is written in regards to a more accurate work.
