That is done through surrender to what is.
Some people may need more of that than others.
If you choose presence in your daily life you may not need the drastic challenges.

As a rule, we find the two aspects hopelessly confused in modern relationships, where one person is made the godlike judge over good and bad in the other person. In the long run, such symbiotic relationship becomes demoralizing for both parties, for it is just as unbearable to be God as it is to remain an utter slave.
