ACCEPTANCE AND RESISTANCE
 
     The issue of acceptance and resistance goes deeper.

     I used to complain 'somatics yak yak yak' and Speaker would go
"Accept them and they will vanish".

     That used to just cave me in and I finally figured out this was
because it wasn't true.

     PRIOR to the somatics was something that could have been accepted
but was in fact resisted.  THAT then caused the somatics to turn on.
All the acceptance of the somatics in the world will not vanish the
somatics, they just turn on harder.

    One needs instead to go earlier before the somatics to find
the item that was not accepted that resulted in the somatics,
THEN the somatics release.
