Tonight I am thinking about #3, asking what that means... just good/bad seems a shallow explanation. So i think it is about noticing what gives energy, versus draining it... paying attention perhaps, even in practical matters, to hm.. what foods cause one to react badly, or what conditions. Back to the idea of a hierarchy of desires which has been helpful for me, it can be about paying attention to the deeper, more personally substantive things, even at the expense of the surface/shallow considerations ie 'outer witness'.
