In this continuation of their discussion on Chapter 2 of Practical Work on Self by E.J. Gold, Jim, Jazwant, and Freddy focus on the difficulty of maintaining an internal state of neutrality amidst a changing world and personal "undercurrents" of negativity. The conversation shifts from theoretical understanding to the messy reality of trying to "get in front" of emotional shocks before they "splash" into the pond of the self.
