That?s what I feel I?ve been doing internally ? melting down. not tolerate anxiety and ambiguity but wants facts. The left brain may label this as a time of chaos and negativity, or it will throw you into irritability, reactionary behavior, panic, avoidance, addiction, manic activity, numbness, or depression ? just to have something to do. It might prefer to fill the liminal space with hyperactivity, drama, trauma, or an accident or illness ? anything but nothingness! Many people I talk to are identifying with these left-brain coping mechanisms, thinking they themselves are crazy, incompetent, unevolved, unworthy, or a failure because ?life isn?t working.? They say they feel stuck. I think this is the left brain talking, not the soul. The soul is never stuck. This melting process is really a key part of transformation.
