These stubborn feelings do not just go simply by realizing the illusory categories we use to define ourselves. Instead, the soul has to be caught up in the Way. The Way is that existential neutralization of the internalized negatives. The second negative is the power to stay in the darkness of the deep. It is the courage to remain within the discomfort one may feel, in the lack of spontaneity, in the pain of rejection. It is the sustaining power to rest under the ugly tree of jealousy, frustration, fear, and anxiety. Grace is the power that sustains, embraces, and holds a person within these negatives and through this act of embracing, redefines existential feelings, neutralizing them as neither “this” nor “that.”
