Well, speaking for myself, my litmus test was -- could I use the ideas in my life and have it work out? The answer was yes, in many cases.
Now, that being said, I will say that using the scales, formulae, TRs, processes- none of that fucked me up. But that I think there were times when the processes didn't do as much for me in a lasting and deep way than I'd thought. Sometimes they did, but mostly they did not. I felt some temporary relief, I had some realizations, that was it.
So one may think, ok, the realizations- isn't that what you were striving for? Well, yeah, it's supposed to mean that YOU have the tools to "DIY", to deal with your own crap. (I'm resolutely not using Scn terms here). But you know what's funny? I feel like the realizations and insights I get from meditating do more for me.
Why is that, I wonder?
Could it be that I (maybe others?) respond better to a more intuitive approach than one that spells out every blessed teeny weeny little step- as auditing would-?
