According to the law of contrast, if a door starts to open with difficulty, treat that as a signal to leave it.
Teaching
According to the law of contrast, if a door starts to open with difficulty, treat that as a signal to leave it. The tone of the beginning predicts how the path unfolds. Ease at the start is not laziness — it is information about fit. A door that fits your line opens with relative ease; one that fits a pendulum's line only churns. Friction is not a test to overcome through willpower; it is the field telling you that the sector is wrong.

Evening reflection
Which door has been only friction from the start, and what would it cost to stop pushing on it?
