WHAT THIS STUDY IS FOR

Turn philosophy into repeatable action without turning the method into another authority.

Passage actions

 NOTICE - before naming, judging, fixing, or reacting, notice.  SEPARATE - distinguish observation, experience, interpretation, assumption, and unknown.  FEEL - do not prosecute the emotion; do not automatically obey it.  QUESTION - ask what other explanations remain possible.  CHOOSE - decide what you want to do rather than what shame, identity, or authority demands.  ACT - take the smallest useful action.  OBSERVE AGAIN - notice consequences without turning them into a verdict on your worth.  SHED - keep what serves; release what does not.  QUESTION THE METHOD - if it does not help, do not use it.
