We have handled the preliminary subjects, and this week's ASP subject is 
again the First Step on the Noble Eightfold Path: our very best (samyak, 
samma) comprehension of or insight into our own life at the present moment 
in time - in other words, what is, honestly, my personal situation at this 
time?
In Advayavada Buddhism, the Noble Eightfold Path is interpreted dynamically 
as an ongoing and autonomous, non-prescriptive, investigative and creative 
process of progressive insight reflecting in human terms overall existence 
advancing over time. By following the Noble Eightfold Path thus you get in 
tune with wondrous overall existence advancing over time; sorrow, doubt and 
remorse immediately start disappearing; and your life at once gathers new 
impetus.
The purpose of the ASP is that we study and discuss the meaning and 
implications of the weekly subject particularly in the context of whatever 
we ourselves are presently doing or are concerned with, or about, such as 
our health, relationships, work, study, our place in society, etc.
Tip: Write down this week's subject (e.g. 'my situation') in your pocket 
diary!
