Tensegrity; advice on order of study/benefits of different series
Tensegrity
How does one decide which series to study first?
Any helpful strategies for learning them from the videos?
And what's the significance of the additional 3 official videos, of series not documented in the book?

See if u/Hanskey ‘s post clears this up a bit for you:

And I’ll add you to chat where you can ask this, so we don’t get too many of these type of beginner posts.

Persistence is what you’ll need to learn from the vids. But in the age of COVID-19, online instruction is becoming the norm anyway.

And the significance of the 3 “extra” vids isn’t a mystery when you know that they originally planned to have 20 VHS/DVD releases, but chose instead to dedicated their efforts to workshop instruction with the time they had remaining.

They had their reasons.

I did see that, but unless I'm mistaken, it hardly mentions the main official series.

Fair enough, thanks!

Yeah, may need to divide the series videos into groups/subgroups/individual passes to really get them.

Ah ok, this makes more sense. 20 videos... sheesh 80% lost?

No, not lost. They just never made the rest of the videos in the 1990's. But practitioner notes did survive, and Cleargreen has a Magical Pass Library that demonstrates passes not in the book, that can be accessed via subscription.

We're working, long-term, on making our own less public videos (so as not to compete with Cleargreen). A project that others have also dabbled in over the years on YouTube.

That's good! I just realised there are pretty good models of the main series (eg 1-5 from the book) on youtube already. Seems like a huge amount in total.

I tried Intent/Mashing Energy just now. I can tell it'll take quite a bit of practice to groove it in, I can postpone asking for advice until I've got that series down.
