    Very interesting reply.

    Few comments here. How one is to *embrace* the change? A lot of
    people said that it`s hard for them to discern between *their inner
    voice* and outside thoughts. I would say that mental discipline and
    exerisises described in IIH are very helpful in the situation like
    that. Direct perception as well. Also it been noticed that a lot of
    people fear changes becouse it would involve *merging* aka
    *expanding*. They are afraid that they will loose their personality,
    and this fear caused by the ego resistance.

    Love is power,

    Alex
