>You're going to run into a wall once you get to the elemental energy exercises of IIH if this is an issue for you.
1. Did you read the last line in my response (or are you not the person I responded to)?

>But I'm still interested because I always check out all sources. Do you know of any other occult books that focus on practical exercises rather than just theory. Maybe I'll find something useful in one of them.

2. I don't think so because the phenomena described is very specific and significant. You should feel the heat increasing for example and it should happen "in that moment" and not "25 minutes into the exercise". You'll know if you are doing it wrong or right based on the description.

Also, I think the first mental exercises are impossible enough, if I can succeed at those I'll have way less doubt with the later exercises.

3. There's a specific test where you use a thermometer to measure if you were able to change the level of heat energy in a room. IIH is very specific and measuring your ability/progress is a core part of the training (even with the elemental exercises).

I doubt by heat they mean the warmth I can feel in my stomach right now when I focus my mind there. That's a pre-existing biological phenomenon, so I'll be trying to feel a heat that is much stronger than that.

I don't want to feel like I'm blindly investing time into something vague that has no way to be measured.
