The Ground · the survey

Where are you actually standing?

There is no map, and the land is pathless. But you can survey the ground you are standing on — the way a piece of land is surveyed before anything is built on it.

Sixteen areas of a life. Rate each one as it is right now, quickly and without deliberating. The first answer is usually the honest one.

This is the short version of how the one-to-one work begins. It will show you where the weight has gathered. It is also honest about the part it cannot see.

Your survey

Here is where the weight is sitting.

The three asking loudest
    What this cannot tell you

    Whether those three are the actual problem — or the symptom of a fourth one you scored highly and moved past without thinking.

    In practice it is almost always the second. People are rarely wrong about their situation and very often wrong about which part of it matters. A number can show you where the weight has gathered. It cannot tell you what is holding it there, and it cannot see the area you answered in two seconds flat.

    That part takes a conversation.

    Four letters, if you want them

    One for each family — the Footing, the Bonds, the Work, the Self. Each takes the areas in it and says plainly how they tend to fail for people who practise. Money mistaken for purity. Non-attachment used to avoid intimacy. Trainings collected instead of done.

    Written over forty years of watching it happen, including to me.

    Your sixteen answers come with it, so I can see what actually lands. Nothing else, no list you can't leave, and no schedule.

    Sent. The first letter is on its way — and thank you for the answers, they genuinely help.

    If one of those three has been sitting there long enough, that is usually the moment to talk.
