Everything you decribe Swift sounds "good". Good as in "nice lesson". The SA knows what you need to know - what you need to have experience to fully understand what should be taught. It's pure ego thinking to believe it ain't so. I have experienced it often enough in the last months. Everything happened for a reason - even if I did not see it at that time (or did not want to see it). The manipulation we are under goes deep. A good preparation is necessary to not "lose your mind". This adjustment takes different time for anybody. It is a protection and in this case it is good it's there.
Feeling helpless is exactly what you need to learn. Because you are helpless. On your own. You have no control. What could one learn by that?
If you are helpless anyway - why not trust the only one who can help?Trust is really the greatest obstacle to overcome .. ego may say "I trust you" or think "I trust you" but only the self can do it to whatever end. And that takes time to learn and accept. I can say I am world champion in saying "but if ..." and falling off that wonderful wave.
You're into this as long as I am if I remember correct. Over the last months I had my ups and many downs and especially whenever I felt lost against Roage gave me a kick in the butt and I kept going. And everything turned out to be perfect timing. You realize that some downs very necessary to gather new insights. You're not punished or lesser loved than anybody else ... you just need to be taught that way that often so you will get it in the end and make the correct behaviour second nature to you. You are right now in the classroom even if you don't feel like it.
Btw it's wonderful you are just 16. I wish I could have been able to see reality as it is at that age and not at the olf fart age of 38 as I have to endure now
Don't give up old friend.
Namaste,
