Hello1

@Leo Gura maybe you can help me? I am sorry, maybe I am just stupid. I really tried, I re-watched the instructions more times. And also, I am very grateful for the course. And excited.

Sorry, maybe I´m stupid, but I am really, really struggling with this and it prevents me from moving on with the course. Values Assessment - Pass 05 (Value Definitions): my question n.1: definition that I am asked to come up with as a result is supposed to be my definition of the word - or my definition of embodying it? Example: is it what the word nature means to me or what embodying the value of nature means to me? my question n.2: The 3 questions that are supposed to help me figure out this definition - 1st of these questions is actually the same as coming up with the definition itself already, so I really, really do not understand. my question n.3: again, the 3 questions that are supposed to help me figure out the definition, question 2 and question 3 are identical to me, what is the difference? my question n.4: I am asked to be specific. Does that apply only to the 3 helping questions or also for the final definition itself? If it applies for the definition itself, I do not quite understand. Definitions of abstract words are usually broad and abstract, not specific. I mean examples can be specific, but not definitions. If my definition contains examples, it will be longer than 15 words! my question n.5: So am I supposed to first answer the 3 helping questions, and then forget those (that was just a warm-up?) and move on to coming up with the definition? OR should the definition contain all I came up with in the helping questions? - but then it will be very long. Also - If I have more problems with instructions, where can I ask questions without worrying about the copyright? Don´t get me wrong, this is not to criticise the course. Not at all. I am exciting that I am doing it. I am very grateful that I have it. I bought it years ago and didn´t finish back then. Now I´m doing it over again. I really, really care about getting through the course. I see the value of it. And I am not someone who can easily afford it financially but I did.

@Inliytened1 R. Spira is there

There are some very simple books on the list. Just wondering, curious...

@Miguel1 yes I notice that

Leo, what is you opinion on Eckhart Tolle's books? They didn't get to your booklist. I hope I'm not wrong but I never saw them there. Too simple? Too esoteric? Not interesting enough? I'm curious.

I'm listening to interviews with Peter Ralston, by Leo but also by other people. He says things like - "You're doing it! Just stop doing it!" - concerning negative emotions and "unnecessary suffering". From all he says it seems like I should just skip negative emotions. Isn't it the case that I should actually feel through the negative emotions and not avoid them? Isn't avoidance a negative habit that avoidant people to? Someone explain to me the difference if there is any. Many thanks

@Hojo that is exactly what I do

@Schizophonia i don't naturally like any protein

@Salvijus thanks for this info

@Natasha Tori Maru interesting, thank you for the inspiration

@jacknine119 😀😀

@Daniel Balan nice, thanks for reply, interesting. It's a bit different than me, I don't have a specific reason, I'm just indifferent

@Salvijus what I wrote doesn't apply for new year wishes, it was only about Christmas. Wondering if there are more people like that. So I won't go into whether I celebrate anything else to keep it not confusing

Those of you who meditate, do some of you have a different than regular meditation body position? I had to find my own one, because I find the regular one incredibly uncomfortable and can't stay in it. In this new one I still have my back straight and it keeps me alert too and not sleepy. Although if I wanted to meditate for long, I would probably have to move around. What are yours?
