The first Practice, Acknowledging Xi, is by no means simple, but is in a way quite straightforward. The issue is relatively clear, although everyone’s personal angle on it is different. By consequence it may take relatively little or enormous effort to truly acknowledge being an XIP and enjoying Ximension.
The second Practice, Exploring Xi, is a more complex issue because of the different facets of Xidentity and their various aspects. It takes a conscious effort to make the investigation and it takes personal courage for an XIP to face the results, both one’s personal fragility and one’s specific uncommon power.
One might think the third Practice is just the application of the knowledge of the first and second Practice: One acknowledges having extra intelligence, one knows one’s particular strengths and weaknesses, let’s apply this knowledge and everything will work out fine!
Nevertheless, the third Practice is about applying one’s extra intelligence and that complicates the issue and may decrease expected effectiveness. The “extra” part may involve expressing something uncommon and there are no standard recipes for that.
