The focus of the course is the pursuit of freedom. In a nutshell, that means we should be honest and aware that often our reactions are less than honest. For example; we may excuse our attendance at the course for reasons which sound rational and true, but in fact they are characteristics or personal preferences which are designed to take us out of the spotlight of Holy spirit inspired truth or revelation.
We may have used these tactics for years to safeguard exposing our learned behaviours.
Homework - Reading - Study - Research - Group Activities - Praying - Sharing - Pet Answers etc.
"I'll finish it at home"
"I have been really really busy"
"I have to go, I have another appointment"
"I am really shy"
"I don't have internet access"
