************* The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] ************ Hi Marcus You are doing very well.
as you get more experiece you will feel more positive about when you have topped up RI. For now just continue doing it as you are and if you find yourself being bothered by what came up in session then do some more RI. on cheating and skipping from objects to people keep in mind that dennis recommends running what is important to you. if you have no interest in objects then moving on the people is fine. Running objects when you have no interest in them is dull so don't do that. move on the running what is interesting. Dennis set up the processes to be run on a gradient but only you know when you have completed a lower gradient and can move up to a higher level. When things get boring move up to more interesting material that is of interest to you. If things get two how and you are having trouble confronting the new material move back to more confrontable material and timebreak that. I can see that you are making progress Marcus. Keep up the good work.
