Surrender is a unique and defining experience, imo, not an event, series of events, or a practice to be learned. I suppose one could find justifications based from fears, to stretch the experience out, but one would be mindful of working against themselves while doing that stretching, yeah? Again, why create a fight when a fight is not helpful to reach the goal?

I do agree that if a person decided they are not ready for whatever, they will in fact allow for behaviors which support their decision, so as to sustain their immediate belief.

Its all about personal choices. And each of us must follow where those choices take us, and its better to be true to ourselves than be false, so yeah, your risks are your own to define, and live with, for sure.
