This has turned out to be a huge advantage. It has made my dreaming much more consistent and I can see my awareness gradually growing. As I continue my practice, this consistency will provide that essential foundation for further growth.
I love this. I was just thinking earlier today how I would love to go through the workbooks and determine stats like that, like how many more LDs members have since joining DV, or DVA etc. But anyway, I'm so glad you had 4 in the last 2 weeks, that's great! I think it was smart going at your own pace. I think that's one advantage to having the Intro class "at your own pace" now. In the first month, students had to do one lesson per week together. It made it competitive, and forced members to set and reach goals pretty astringently. But I think the success rate over all is much better now that it's user-paced.
