Liban woke up 5a; however, he did not edit yesterday work; he had an important task to do this morning, so that he did not have time to edit old works and then file them away; he will do that expected task before 9p tonight, or early in the morning tomorrow

The dominant impression of Liban now is that of hopelessness; he learned from experience that this is simply thesis that now enjoys preponderance of evidence;
He is free to advance the opposite thesis until it gains preponderance of evidence ; hopelessness is statistical concept

In the mean time, he must do what he can and that suffices. Failure to comprehend this, fuels the thesis of hopelessness, by increasing evidence that it can Marshall.

Liban stilled his body, even though he faced resistance, but he sustained efforts to still the body, listen to the humming sound and work on assigned tasks. Resistance took the form of discomfort to still and profound dislike to such efforts to still .

Liban is practicing moving on if something does not work or cannot be done now for whatever reason; and then coming back to it later when it is doable; this leverages creativity.

Libin learned that he learns better when he first and foremost denies the existence of something, say a thesis of a book. In some cases, he has a second thought about his denial; and if that is so, then it suggests to him that his initial denial may be incorrect.
