    Yeah, that makes sense. I think that Bardon's language confuses me
    sometimes. He can sound pretty forbidding (ie "Hold onto ___ with
    all your strength. Vigorously refuse all the other thoughts in your
    mind," etc.) and that has misled me to strain, and of course
    straining is based on opposing an equal pressure.

    I think that every time I did a one of the wish-impregnation
    exercises, somewhere in me there was a guy saying, "Well I'm NOT
    going to let some external force change ME," never mind that I was
    the "external" force doing the changing. Kind of funny.

    Instead of fighting myself, I should be making friends. But it's so
    much more habitual to do the former than the latter.
