We're approaching the same truth in different words. What I meant was that what makes the pain really worse is the unwillingness to feel it, which comes from thejudgement that it is unbearable, or whatever. Gettig over the refusal to feel is the only way through and out. I didn't mea to imply you should turn it into intellectual notions, because that too often rules out feeling itself, as well. I just meant getting over the sense of being unable to experience is a necessary prerequisite to rediscovering the beliefs behind the experience. Sorry I was not more clear.
