Thing is, it's nice to be able to gauge progress or lack of it. So that when I don't seem to have any motivation (like now)
EQ can cause a lack of motivation...everything is so fine and dandy....so equanimous...yep. Then you slack off and bam...back to A&P and thru the dark night again...that starts the fire again...suffering is the stick...EQ is the carrot....do it enough times and you get ripe.
yo-yoing between re-ob and eq will do it too...
We've all been there...seems to be standard. Dunno of anyone who made it in one go of it. That's why the diligence of practice is important...and skillful practice too.
Best of luck,
