Yes, you're right, I think we are on the same page. Sometimes it's hard to put into words something we feel or sense intuitively. It can be tricky or subtle and not obvious to catch what is really going on, the mind often just takes over with generalities.
For me it can be so difficult to understand or see clearly sometimes, that I just shift into the perspective of feeling without over thinking. I focus on the feeling of fear and try and sense backwards from there to it's source or original story. Often the source of the fear is just not see-able, it's just a general sense of unease, and so I just try and let go of trying to resist it and just let it be and try to have compassion all around for what is occurring. That helps at least with the resistance which kinda produces a secondary or compounding suffering.
I agree, it is hard to put feeling in to words sometimes, for sure. These are some deep topics discussed and I think we all have a subtly different way of how we perceive things or how we imagine it. Which would explain a lot of why so many teaching over the history of time are never fully understood or leaving too much up for debate.
But I agree with following the feeling. Our own intuition and what feels right for us is what is important in the end.
I enjoyed having this discussion with you :)
