The discomfort of changes of awareness, is like lowering yourself into a cold swimming pool on a hot summer day.
There is nothing you can consciously do to alter the discomfort, but your body will slowly accumulate to the temperature.
Us trying to help in the process?
Tao Te Ching, 74,
“Trying to control the future is like trying to take the masters carpenter’s place. When you handle the master carpenter’s tools, chances are you’ll cut your hand.”
Our spiritual growth seems to be in the hands of Spirit.
