Class 7 (Step 10) - Selecting & Defining Key Terms
I decided, today, to split Class 7 (Step 10) into 2 parts. For 7(a), we each had a half-hour focusing sessions, with about 10 minutes to focus into each of the 3 aspects of the felt-sense.
Prior to the session we’d both collected our terms, but had not yet settled on a temporary term for each category. It was very helpful to do this in a…

Well, I’m glad to say my partner and I made it through this class and have just finished Class 6 (more about that later).
I have felt confused by this class both times through and fell down a worm hole of pulling out words, looking them up in the dictionary, replacing them with other words, looking those words up in the dictionary (incl…
