I have chosen this title, “Simple Beginnings”, to emphasize that Step One is just the beginning and that it is simple. All too often a new student of initiation will read the Step One exercises and think that they are very complex and that completing them requires already advanced abilities, or that performing the exercises will require so much time each day that they will have no time left over for anything else, such as making a living and entertaining their friends, etc., etc., etc..
None of these assumptions are accurate.
According to his own words, Bardon arranged IIH as if it was “meant for the busiest man”, and even though Bardon’s way of phrasing things may seem somewhat archaic and oftentimes confusing to a modern reader, the exercises he is describing in Step One are rudimentary and the essence of simplicity, designed with the absolute beginner in mind. Furthermore, according to Bardon’s own instructions, they are each to be completed relatively quickly, within one to two weeks in most cases.
