Phase 6 · Lesson 17
The Independent Judgment
This time, no prompts. Only the hall, and you.
Skill in training: Demonstrate the full examination unaided.
The Situation
Bring your own situation: one that is live, unresolved, and yours. No scenario is supplied.
Core Insight
The goal was never to need the course. It was to become the examiner.
Epictetus
If no one ever checked your reasoning again, what would keep it honest?
Examination Exercise
Full independent examination. The structure is available only if you request it.
Record your full examination.
Practice Beyond the Academy
Live the chosen action from your independent examination. Return and record the actual result and one revision.
