What measuring your progress looks like here

I want to address this question we had on our call today.

It was asked how I would measure your progress here and I want to make sure this can be saved for future reference in the community.

Progress in this work looks very different than progress in a skill-based course. You're not learning information

- you're shifting in who you are. This shift doesn't move in a straight line.

What we're building here is the awareness muscle - the capacity to stop outsourcing your sense of self to external validation, and start recognizing and trusting your own inner signal.

A few ways you can measure this for your personal data:

Are you able to catch the pattern in real time - not just after? That gap between trigger and automatic response getting even slightly wider is the real progress.

Are your questions starting to change? Early on people ask "what's wrong with me?" Later they start asking "what is this protecting?" Or "what is this trying to teach me?" That shift in the question is the arc working.

Is your witnessing capacity building? Staying with something instead of running from it or collapsing into it.

• Is what used to feel like personality starting to feel like pattern? That distance - even at the smallest - between you and the conditioned self is measurable in your own experience.

• The Awakening Arc quiz is also another way to see where you are and where you came from. Take it now and then again in a few months. Your answers will absolutely shift. That shift is the data I want you to see for yourself.

Your interpretation of this data is what I hope you value the most.

Community Reminder:
