Poor teachers take a lot of bashing from their own students during the process, LOL! Patience and forgiveness of a supernatural kind is what makes the difference between a bogus guru and the real deal. Yes, the RFA is excruciating. The ego is challenged in all sorts of ways, in all the places where it hurts the most. The pitfalls are tailored on each individual in such a way that no stone is left unturned, and you have to confront all of your own demons one by one, all the time. The most painful part is that your own conscience keeps assessing your performance 24/7 and is aware of all your failures. The ultimate challenge is that of being able to forgive oneself in the face of such glaring flaws, even as you lose the ability to fool yourself into self-complacency. Long periods of self-loathing and moral torture are to be expected--what they call the dark night of the soul, perhaps. Once the process begins, there is no hiding.
