NEW: Original or Simplified?

[You]

I notice there are two forms. From what I got from skimming, Donnie Hackenson's seems to be more of a point form version, and contain slightly different exercises...

In any form, NEW seems like just what I need to get into practicing psychic, dream and magic abilities, since it would provide a slow bridge into awareness, rather than the explosion of concentration or emotion which most other systems demand. This fits well with Bruce's explanation of the lesser Chakras being engaged before the major ones. In one book I read, it mentioned there being lesser chakra, but them being rather unimportant. I figured they must have some importance... but obviously they couldn't be as strong as the major chakra, so it would be more of a refinement of sensitivity. Refinement of sensitivity is sort of what you need to begin with, isn't it? So, I turn to this as an introductory option.

What I'd like to now, and I've put it into poll form, is the best way, based upon your opinion (and backing it up too would be nice), is how the simplified version compares to the original one, and perhaps any advice you'd like to volunteer to a beginning student.

In the case of the last poll option, could someone tell me how the eight lessons compare to the thirteen different pages on Robert Bruce's writings?

I wonder... I guess people can't vote in their own polls here. Not like I would...

I think a lot of people have a problem voting - we can't see the voting buttons.  Apparently it's something to do with our browsers (don't ask me - I'm useless), but there's a few posts about it in the Bugs section.

We're not ignoring you - we just can't vote!

Well I can vote, although I've never heard of Donni Hackenson.  From what you describe though, I'd say it's best to take things slowly as you say.

hmm, looks like adrian fixed it in this forum at least...

The question is difficult to answer because different things work for different people. One method may work for one person while a different method will work for another person.

Yep... that's why I sort of wanted a vote... I said I'd try both it's just the order. Anyway I posted it in the Q&A for Bruce to answer so I guess it's not necessary to do so here.

Hurrah - I can now vote - seems Spectral Dragon is right.

However, I don't know Donni Hackenson, so I don't feel qualified to vote!
