Neo:

It was a leedle joke -- I was waxing (meaning bloviating) and so I used a line from an old movie, "The Karate Kid", where a young boy learns karate by being forced to wax cars (wax on...wax off)..using the right hand motions. Also references the programmer's notation for turning on a mode in a program and is sometimes seen in email threads as "Rant On" followed by "Rant Off".

The pain is a byproduct of resistance and the notion that a certain experience is undesireable. When that opinion is modulated to a willingness to experience without judging positively or negatively, then it gets easier and less painful to explore the universe of beliefs and the experience that beliefs generate (or, more accurately, that we generate through the filters of belief). So if you elect the opinion that this "awful" feeling is, instead, an "interesting" feeling, the resistance comes off, and the discovery of what underlies it is accelerated.
