Jeff thanks for this! I moved into EGZC around 1980. I think seeing into one's true nature or changing patterns of thinking is so difficult that bows and days long meditation retreats are necessary. Also meditating with a group greatly helps with the long effort necessary. After long hours of stillness/pain the mind stops resisting things and goes on to something else.

Be with it is something different than stay with it or are stuck.
