Of course you're qualified to answer the questions. I was asking you specifically because you'd just started this.
People sometimes don't find the feedback and opinions from people just starting something like this valuable, but I find it quite helpful actually.
How a person feels, how fundamental they feel the instruction is to what they are producing.
It's always nice to hear testimonials from people who have finished the course but it does tend to put a distance between them and whomever they're explaining things to - it's unavoidable.
And because the course has a fairly long duration no doubt alot of the knowledge becomes completely integrated and is hard to separate when explaining to the non-initiated.
However, in this forum we (uninitiated to EIS) have a rare opportunity to share discourse with someone who is now discovering this system at the beginning.
I don't know about anyone else - but your insights as you progress and particularly at the start are very valuable to me. I can go some way in judging what I'm likely to discover in the first part of the course, what feelings of achievement I'm likely to be feeling etc..
I'm fairly sure that I am going to study EIS, but it's going to be quite a sacrifice for me and I still haven't decided when I will sacrifice or how much I will sacrifice. Your comments, observations could well help me to give me a perspective that allows me to make those decisions (and make them with more confidence).
As usual I've taken too long to say something quite simple: Don't feel underqualified in this instance because I would say you're perfectly qualified. :D
