Is spiritual pain an indicator of balancing?

[zenmaster]

Any catalyst which is acknowledged and finally accepted leads to balancing. The indicator is the new congruency with that aspect of self which was accepted. The indicator will differ based on what is already provided from self. You only really become aware of that balancing, as a conscious indicator of progress, when you understand your mind sufficiently. There are other indicators of balancing outside of an understanding of mind, but they will not inform as such but rather just present as feelings and sensations.
