“To begin with all learning is slow; but in time it gathers momentum to create a snowball effect. However, true learning is a far cry from what it is generally assumed to be, and consequently the apprentice soon finds himself at odds with his own thoughts and emotions. Not learning what he had expected to learn, the apprentice becomes the victim of his own doubts and suspicions, and before long he is overcome by a debilitating sense of fear - a fear which escalates with alarming rapidity as he focuses upon it in his effort to understand its cause. Without even realising it, the apprentice has encountered his first natural enemy - fear. Under the impact of his fear, the apprentice's sense of purpose and direction begins to crumble, leaving him with the uncomfortable feeling that his reason is being threatened and has somehow been assaulted.”
