Apprentice: I have knowledge enough to know that relaxing is the way out of the hell-realm, but the storm in my mind seems to be running on autopilot.
Teachers: Storms can be frightening – but they can also be exciting and exhilarating if you can have the confidence to ride them. There is a lot of energy in a storm. The mind cannot be controlled and forced to behave. The mind will do what it does based on your individual patterning. The more you try to force a pattern out of the mind, the more prominence it will have in your life. Similarly, you will not succeed in forcing a pattern into the mind even if it would seem preferable to your existing mind-state.
