Re: Fitting definition of Precept?

Yes, agreed . . . the word is a bitch to try and directly get a full working comprehension of!!
In 1994 when I first collided with the original CleanSlate R/D 
I couldn't help but think: "What the hell are you doing, Alan? Why select this word to ram down our throats!?"
But basically, the basis of what we are getting at with this word "PRECEPT(s)" as they relate to our case is:
What are the beliefs that dictate your behavior. What are your automatic responses and behaviors to the stimuli and events around you? Connected to (the events of life) what operating paradigms dictate or determine your responses?
So, how do we stupidly inflict "precepts" on ourselves??? 
we do it in erroneous response to what we perceive!! This copied below is a lesson in the "WINNING IN LIFE" Course I've been working on . . . note that I have made improvements to the old SPIEPIR sequence.
LESSON TWO
WANTS, PURPOSE AND GOALS
THE FORCE THAT DRIVES ACCOMPLISHMENT
Having studied the above three items for the last sixty-two years, I have come to the conclusion that they form a hierarchy.
As I posted recently on my research forum, some 15 years ago I presented to THE SIR JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION- as part of its Scientific Investigation into the subject of Purpose, my observations and findings. My write-up was written to meet the expectations of the Foundation whose objective is the supporting of the belief in God and the application of that belief in the pursuit of science. Hence the particular language my forum members likely noted.
But more to the point, the subject of purpose is a BIG subject, as expounded on in my presentation.
Back in around 1961, I wrote to a guy purporting to be researching these matters, on the subject of purpose. My view was that purpose indeed forms and is at the basis of the aberrative impediments we developed. My view, even then, was that it was in the pursuit of our purpose(s) that we had built up the “charge,” force and mass that today we refer to as our “case.” Today, you’ll note that this finding has been proven correct, and is the basis of our “Charge Handling Process.” (The researcher I communicated to, it turned out, screwed up and developed his infamous Goals Problems Mass (own goals GPM) technology beginning in early 1962 that damaged so many folks.) We use the word “case” to refer to the condition you are in or the aspect of your existence we are addressing to upgrade. It is used in the same sense that doctors treat a patient’s case or that detectives solve cases.
But it turns out there is a sequence, and even a hierarchy, of development involved. To view this, let us look at an expanded view of our famous SPEIEPIR sequence of successful creation, as follows. (The acronym represents: Spirit, Perceive, Evaluate, Intend, Envision, Planning, Implementation and Result.)
As a Spiritual presence, one directs and deploys one’s awareness to Perceive what one is addressing and relating with. At the highest level of this action one apperceives the “what” of the Being or thing being addressed and, based on one’s extant wants and knowledge brought to bear in the endeavor, one analyzes and Evaluates the scenario as to opportunity and potential outcomes and then pursues one’s extant wants or forms new wants with the purpose of achieving such. Hence the Intention element of our SPEIEPIR sequence. Next, one Envisions the exactitude of the what, where, when of the expression of one’s want followed by the Planning of the actions to be Implemented for its Resulting attainment.
As you progress on this course we will be addressing each of the elements of the SPEIEPIR Sequence to empower them and restore them to your knowing control.
To be noted is the point that good and complete dictionaries show the words “purpose” and “intention” as being synonyms.
Also, do not go past that word “apperceive.” It may well be new to you, and it is vitally important that you NEVER go past words for which you do not have a clear understanding as to definition and meaning. To do so will always stick you with “mind fog” and degrees of unconsciousness. It is the guaranteed, sure way to kill your capacity to perform. (See our lesson on Not Knowing What You are Doing.)
Definition: Apperceive from Dictionary.com
1. to have conscious perception of; comprehend.
2. to comprehend (a new idea) by assimilation with the sum of one's previous knowledge and experience.
Note the application of one’s extant knowledge and experience in definition #2.
Apperception:
1. conscious perception.
2. the act or process of apperceiving.
Hence, one begins with a want, develops the purpose to achieve it and then forms the goals necessary to attain and fulfill the want.
Hence we can see the progression and hierarchical nature of our WANTS, PURPOSE AND GOALS.
To be noted is the point that our SPEIEPIR sequence is indeed the ANATOMY OF CAUSATION and SEQUENCE OF SUCCESSFUL CREATION.
