Hello All,
I’m in the middle of my hermit cabin retreat, and needed to
go into town to get a few things. Using the time to also download
some necessary updates to my laptop . . .At any rate, I thought I’d give you a “Christmas gift”–indices
for QF3. I posted indices for QF1 (2007), QF2 (2007), and Primordial (2004),
a while back, and never got around to doing anything more. While
in my hermit cabin, I have periodically returned to working on them
when I need a break from qigong/meditation.I’m including in subsequent posts two versions for QF3–namely 2006 and 2007 versions. Hope you enjoy. During the second half of my retreat, I will
sporadically work on indices for QF4 and possibly Fusion 1 (time permitting),
in between rounds of qigong and meditation.The retreat itself has been wonderful and been providing much in the way
of growth–too much to describe in this short post–maybe when I return.Best,
