Persistence & Patience

"The biggest struggle, I would not call it a struggle, it was more of a hurdle to get to the next step. The first was understanding it at an intellectual level. The second was understanding it at a level beyond the intellect, where it is almost like knowing it in your heart. The third is that you have to work on yourself through a lot of systematic processes to get to that experiential state. I do not think I am anywhere close, and I am working towards it. I often say that I do not have to figure this out, somebody else has done it for us. The operating manual exists, and I just have to read, understand, and practice the operating manual."
