Well, after my egotistical boasting post about not slacking, I spent some recent time slacking for REAL! Basically, I learned from this that the process didn't stop working with/in me, even though my reading of the lessons stopped for a bit. I ended up having all these questions, and getting very attached to their answers and confused too. {Honestly, I swear, it's not a normal state for me! GRIN} So, after resuming reading again, well, wadda ya know.... all the answers to my questions are there. wow. GRIN. This also taught me very clearly, what I dimly knew before, that my process... um, my *path* works kinda backwards, like I want the experience first and then the intellectual understanding of what happened later. Sometimes that works, sometimes it gets sticky.

hi Rebeckah,

i guess it can work well either way... but folks i know who understand these kind of things intellectually and can't get to the experience get real frustrated... so backwards like you're doing it seems more like forward to me... *grin*

for me, i find that understanding is so much easier when you have experience to refer to... and with this course, i keep seeing things in a new way as i go through it again...

warmly,

percyval

Very nice validation for me, too, Rebeckah! That is how the course is designed.. to bring up questions and issues, manifest experiences, then resolve them.

:GRIN. This also taught me very clearly, what I dimly knew before, that my process... um, my *path* works kinda backwards, like I want the experience first and then the intellectual understanding of what happened later. Sometimes that works, sometimes it gets sticky.

It is the same for me. What use is intellectual understanding without experience? The learning is experiential, intellectual understanding is no understanding at all.
 Blessings!
