when Listening to Win's over the wall, twice he directs us not to peek over the wall. Guess what I do when he says don't peak.

That may in some ways be intentional.
Don't forget, Win and Paul know their stuff, and everything in the course is for a reason.

My reason fro why he says "don't sneak a peak yet" is maybe because he knows that you will.
This is because you can't really tell people (and babies) 'not' to do somehting, because they just 'will do' it.

So, why would he want you to take peak?

Well, maybe it's so you can sort of 'leak' out what you have in immediate memory.
Therefore, when you do eventually go 'over the wall' you'll have gotten rid of all of what you expect to see (from when Win says 'don't peak') and what you actually see will be much more of what your inner mind wants you to see, rather than what you 'think' you ought to see.

Anyway, I hope you followed that lol.

That's just my theory.It may be total rubbish, but it kinda makes sense to me

I'm sure AlexK will be along soon to clear this up

Thanks!

Be sure to keep describing, so whatever you peek you have to decribe and keep describing.

Win is building up some tension to get your curiosity roused. A bit like putting a dogs dinner down in front of it and holding the dog back because he's not allowed to eat it yet. It's so near he can almost taste it and is tugging to get at it. When you let them go they are so surprised they often stumble the first bit to get at the bowl. Same happens when Win lets you finally go over the wall you are surprised that you momentarily do blank and you have to, quickly, gather your scattered thoughts to get over the wall.

When you listen to the recording often the surprise and tension that Win wants you to have is gone. You know when you are going to jump over the wall. When that happens its time to find other cues. Some ideas might be: hear a car driving past, the refigerator turning on, a dog bark, a telephone ring, the kids screaming, your mothers voice in the other room or set a timer without looking at the exact time you've set it. You then recreate the tension of knowing you're going to jump but when?
