When a patient says he feels stuck and confused, and through good intentions he struggles to become loose and clear, he only remains chronically trapped in the mire of his own stubbornness. If instead he will go with where he is, only then is there hope.

Only if he will give up trying to control his thinking, and let himself sink into his confusion, only then will things become clear. (64)
