Learning Parelli-ism isn't just about accruing skills it seems, but also about divesting myself of that which is no longer useful.   First thing to go has to be emotion. Not attaching importance to success or failure but just observing what is happening and adjusting accordingly.  We haven't *failed* if we don't do it correctly.  I just haven't made myself clear or my timing is off or something equally innocuous - and as fixable.  It was very freeing, exhilarating actually, to not be emotionally attached to the result.  Worked on driving at a distance and found big holes in his understanding.  I thought we had it.  It didn't matter because we worked on it until he stopped being *emotional*, thought about it, got it and did it calmly and consistently.  Was a brilliant session.  But the repercussions of this simple lesson has to be more than learning about driving at a distance.  It has to be learning how to teach and for Balthazar, learning how to learn; with trust and without being emotional.
