Yes, yes, yes.

So, you know, I was willing to risk everything because I just didn't have a choice.

Like, it hurt so much.

Literally hurt.

Like, my body hurt.

You know, going to do these things hurt to do.

I don't know how to describe it, just the pain itself.

Suffering, like you say, is the root of a lot of exploration and creation and art.

And the suffering just became so intense that, you know, when I ended a phase, that I had no choice but to allow the new authenticity to find a way to express itself.

I don't.

I was trying to keep that rag unquisted.

Yeah.

That you described, the wet rag.

So, you know, you did a process, a week-long whatever process to feel that, which is great.

But you can also feel that at any time.

So right now, you can feel the extent to which that...

area of your body from your throat down or which is the typical place people feel it i talk about that in the book a lot the man of zero book so that contraction in the front of the body from your throat down your solar plexus and down even deeper that's the sig that's a signal for you and many men that they're out of line now if their mechanisms like their need for self-worth is so intense it could push them to ignore that

for years and years and then you have to do it you know you have to go to a training and have it unpacked which is very useful i've done those kind of things so you you could do it in an intensive kind of way or you can or and you can learn to feel that tension constriction contraction as it's happening and and you're reading that it's like a meter it's like flying an airplane by instruments you're feeling the tightening of that and you're going okay

You might not be aware of why it's happening, but right now I'm living off the mark.

I'm not living on point.
