It's been my experience and that of many others that they only work if done in order. I've tried to do them backwards with no success, and I've tried to read the "easier, softer way" that's written in invisible ink between the black lettering (just kiddin') to no avail. That's why it's called How It Works, and "rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path".
They may seem intimidating, when in fact doing them is actually the easiest, softest way.

Thumbs up yep thats what Ive been told to a friend who just called

apparently even though one has made "progress" on some of the later steps there will be a more clearheaded and chance of success by following them in order
Thanks

hmmm... I guess that depends on how you would order them. I believe that we can do the 10th, 11th and 12th everyday all day even if we haven't conquered the 1st.

Why do you ask? Got something in mind>?????
