We might not be at the ultimate level, but definitely closer everyday. :) Envious that you have a team that is as passionate as yourself though!

And a bold decision it was (does that sound like I'm a #1?). Well, I wandered around back in 03-05 looking for a teacher. Either a.) they wanted me to learn new forms before entry into interactive work or b.) they had questionable methods. Nevertheless, I worked with both groups until I decided that I'd forge a new path. When I began teaching I could distinguish between what I knew and what I didn't. I gave students what I knew, and I took my seniors students and showed them what I didn't know and we put together methods to get those things. That was a great era of growth. The big shift felt like arrogance. It required a shift that said "this is not enough, I can do more." It required that I let go of faux-humility, and go for the big time. (Or what felt like big-time to me.) Still, these are words, and it's difficult to assess motion or competence in words. My last bit is that #4 just happens. I've had glimpses of it when I meet my fears... living there, in #4, will take great artistry. It took me a long time to decide to move to #3.

Based on the little scale, I'd say I'm at like 2.25 in my own training :) It’s taken me over 6 yrs in taiji to realize that I really don’t know and there’s so much to learn.
