Struggling with "dropping the rope" , for a person who is renowned as being logical almost to the point of being Vulcan (LOL) I find the counter-intuitiveness of this really hard to understand.
First of all one of MWD's basics is to start with a beginners mind and not have preconceived ideas in your head that uses "logic" to try to understand this stuff.
Although after much research their is in fact logic here - just not something that most of us learn in our life.
In a nut shell I will try to simply explain.
One of the ingredients into WAS/MLC is that the persons hormones are out of wack. If you study the science of hormones during a lifetime a woman's estrogen level falls off dramatically at menopause. It does a 180 so to speak. Men have something similar with drops in testosterone as life progresses. There are other hormones involved too but for the sake of simplicity I will stick with this. So when your body chemistry does a 180 what do you think that does to the rest of you?
So since you are dealing with a person that has done a 180 - normal "LOGIC" is not logical.
