I finally understood yesterday that this wall was allowed to stand because I accepted the position, to continuously stand and bang my head on it. I can go around this wall and go somewhere else. I don't know if it is relevant to what you posted but it seems to me that I was way too focus on reaching a small goal on the other side of that glass wall.

If he could help it, he'd work in, Nietzsche didn't write Zarathustra; Zarathustra wrote Nietzsche. Thought you'd be amused.

Samsara is Nirvana, Nirvana is Samsara;
Atman is Brahman, Brahman is Atman;
