The following questions are designed to help you gauge an appropriate application of time and commitment toward the goal you seek. Consider your response to question three in Section 1 while answering these questions.
For the attainment of the goal you seek, how long do you anticipate practicing a method of meditation? A few months, a year, or a lifetime? Do you think of a meditative practice as a curriculum with an ending, or as an ongoing practice?
How often do you think you will need to apply yourself toward the goal you seek? Weekly? Daily? A couple of times a day? How much time per week/per day is appropriate for you to spend to realize the change you want to experience in your life?
Testing any method is important and is best approached systematically. What is your current approach in selecting methods for growth and self-actualization? What do you think of trying one system at a time for a sufficient period of time, instead of trying several systems at the same time or not giving enough time and commitment to one system?
What are the criteria that you use to evaluate whether or not a system is working for you?
