@pauljpastor We can't learn to swim and hold on at the same time. There comes a point where we must brave a dunking. As per the eek factor, always recall the transpersonal psychotherapist, John Welwood, "As one spiritual wag put it, 'Self-knowledge is always bad news, at least initially.'" 🫣

To come to the pleasure you have not
You must go by a way in which you enjoy not.
To come to the knowledge you have not
You must go by a way in which you know not.
To come to the possession you have not
You must go by a way in which you possess not.
To come to be what you are not
You must go by a way in which you are not.
St. John of the Cross (1542 – 1591)
