Just come close. Close your eyes and go wild. Let the energy possess you, and whatsoever starts happening, allow -- trembling, shaking....

So you are absolutely on the right track. As your strength grows so will your vulnerability; as your vulnerability grows so will your strength. At the highest peak of strength one
