That was very well stated. Seriously. I know this conversation is with Tom, and I honestly don't want to get in the way of it, but just as a question, which do you think comes first -- the physical feelings of discomfort, or the resistance to Self? In other words, do you think that some- thing happens on a physiological level and as a result the inclination to seek more and more lessens? Or could it be that one resists the inclination to seek more and more, resists the Self, and the physiological sensations are the result?
