Once Step Three is taken, Steps Four through Nine present a sequence of ideas and actions, many of which are unpalatable to the ego.
The tendency will be to start verbalising arguments and defences against these. The 'problem' is reacting to the 'solution'. The ego, the machine that produced all of the ideas that do not work, recognises the threat and starts to defend against it.
This will not do at all.
At the dentist, you have to open wide, and this means you cannot speak.
When approaching Steps Four through Nine, open wide, and don't even try to talk back.
