Hello all :)
I've done 40+ hours on level 2 since my last post. I got some gains like buried memories coming up since more than a decade ago, some cognitions about how I got some goals, and a slight improvement in my ability to assess 'change'. Creative RI has been easier to do (less invalidation) although I can't still precisely define when my stock of importances is full. Sometimes I can feel satisfied (calmness of thought) in 5 minutes, sometimes it takes half hour and my parameter is feeling dull (this might be related to my PT problems). Also, sometimes I feel my thoughts sliding back to the past a few minutes after a L2 session and I go do some more RI just to be safe :) L2 also has been somewhat easier, I can sustain the execution relatively constant (fewer distractions) and therefore assess the change well. Nevertheless, I've just noticed I might have been cheating and I would appreciate some help. I have been for a good time now, skipping the objects and jumping into comparing people. Initially it was to detect changes more easily, the objects in multiple scenes seemed too evasive to my memory. [E.G.: lacking singular features, like my first glasses I couldn't distinguish from other glasses I've had. So I decided to skip to people in some cases. And then it became a habit.] 1) Is this a serious mistake? Should I backtrack and just persevere with these objects despite their lack of memorable features? Or maybe switch to other scenes until they become more available? 2) Also, is it a good idea to gather multiple objects in one for comparison purposes? [E.G.: I have a scene where there is a couple on a bench and I regarded the 3 as one object because it seemed like a more distinct thing about this scene] Basically am I being smart and making it easier or am I just making it wrong? Dennis recommends scanning objects first, then people. But, is that for each scene or for your whole past? I also felt like this was a worst case scenario recommendation; like for a really heavy scene. In most scenes I've done I used only 1,2 or 3 objects/people anyways! So long, Marcus
