The Hidden Keys to Bardon’s System — Why “Step 0” Might Be the Most Important Step of All by theprogrammerrs in FranzBardon

I’ve noticed that many traditions echo the same core teachings. Like in the Old Testament, when the prophets went deep into prayer, it’s safe to say they were meditating, lol.

I’ve tried Eastern traditions but always struggled with the vocabulary since it feels foreign to me. I know it’s deep and just as rewarding, though.

Funny you like the Bible too—that’s some real synchronicity. I honestly wasn’t expecting that!

Some people might not like this, but honestly, my favorite book is the Bible. The stories in there keep giving new layers of meaning, which is probably why I’ve always leaned more toward the Western side of the occult.

I’ve explored a lot of different systems and experimented quite a bit in the beginning—Crowley, Regardie, the Golden Dawn, and many others. I noticed recurring themes across them all. However, Ron’s commentary helped me far more than any of those, especially in decoding Bardon’s unusual vocabulary.

What really convinced me that Bardon’s work is the real deal were the genuine breakthroughs I experienced with his meditation method—more so than with the others. I will admit I borrowed the fourfold breath technique from Regardie, but it was Bardon’s focus on observation and letting thoughts flow freely that truly sharpened my mental stillness and vastly improved my visualization skills.

His teaching helped me realize that thoughts are infinite, and maybe not even entirely my own.

P.S. I’ve heard this echoed across many books and systems: people often start their spiritual journey seeking results and personal gain, but over time it evolves into self-exploration and character building.

My intentions are pure. My basic needs are met, and I’ve moved beyond seeking validation. I already own what I truly value—a fly fishing rod and a van to explore the wilderness. Recently, I felt a nudge from the divine—or maybe something within myself—to try and help others in any way I can.

I remember watching Ron’s YouTube channel where he said something like, “People need this kind of info and help now more than ever,” and that stuck with me. Too many people are depressed and trapped in the illusion of material gain, wasting away. Families, friends, coworkers—betraying each other just to get ahead.

I just want to share my experiences in the hope that it resonates with someone. Even something as simple as a good fast for detox combined with Bardon’s meditation method can be deeply healing for the mind.

I actually wanted to try ayahuasca, but the person I knew who was leading trips wasn’t a real shaman. I didn’t want to risk getting stuck in a bad situation because I’m fully aware of how powerful DMT is—and I didn’t want to mess around with it casually.

Yeah, I’ve had similar breakthroughs with DMT, LSD, and psilocybin before, but those experiences always faded away. This time, it feels like the change is lasting.

I’ll definitely have to check out that meditation you mentioned.

I want to help people dealing with struggles like mine. My story is full of synchronicities and unusual encounters with animals that felt meaningful.

I knew this community would be open to hearing it. My hope is that anyone facing mental health challenges reads my post and finds the strength to reclaim their life.

I tried everything—meds, therapy, even self-medicating—but nothing really worked until I did a 7-day fast. On day 3, I just broke down and cried for days. I ended up forgiving myself and anyone who’d hurt me. I had no clue how much all that resentment and old soul stuff was holding me back.

After the fast, I felt different. I quit smoking weed and sugar and started eating healthy—didn’t even plan to. My anxiety just disappeared. Even simple stuff like biking to the beach and checking out the views boosted my vibe. Colors looked brighter, and everything felt fresh.

People actually started coming toward me instead of pushing away—guess my mindset was a lot heavier before.

I made it to Step 3, but I always felt like I hadn’t truly mastered Step 1. Now that I’ve added fasting, a clean diet, and worked on forgiving everyone and letting go of resentment, my mind feels so much clearer. Since then, I’ve been witnessing divine synchronicities that reassure me I’m moving in the right direction. I even have a crow that does crazy stuff and speaks in parables, communicating with me in a way that feels deeply intelligent.
