Complete Freedom of Decision
We have complete freedom of decision. As a corollary, decision can precede discharge. The mode that Co-Counseling began in—that we discharge and discharge in order to reach a decision—sort of works, but intuitively Co-Counselors have for a long time been putting decision ahead of discharge.
We can now hold it up to the light as, in general, much more effective. We start living better right away if we act on decision, understanding our complete freedom of decision, and that forces a hell of a lot* more discharge.

* “A hell of a lot” means a great deal, very much.
