I think what we have to realize is that the brick wall we see in front of us is also etheral; it only SEEMS solid and impenetrable. We have to go through it, even as so much of us resists, even as so much of us seems to want to STAY stuck (we've been here a while, after all, and know what to expect). We have to keep taking those steps through it - it is only by walking through it that we see it evaporate.
