同样，无论是否解决，每一次干扰都为内部参与提供了空间。随着铲子挖出并以一种看似暴力的地球的方式移动地球时，向挖掘揭示了一个内部空间。这样，当经验打开我们时，通常会感到暴力，而自然而然的冲动就是要重新填充开口，以使其像以前一样。但是，每一次经验都会挖掘一个深度，这揭示了它曾经向空中开放的智慧。
(Likewise, every disturbance, whether resolved or not, is making space for an inner engagement. As a shovel digs up and displaces earth, in a way that must seem violent to the earth, an interior space is revealed for the digging. In just this way, when experience opens us, it often feels violent and the urge, quite naturally, is to refill that opening, to make it the way it was. But every experience excavates a depth, which reveals its wisdom once opened to air.)
