The remnants of self do not abate because we want them to. We have to look at the noise the self is making and see whether it is relevant or not, and once something is seen as being irrelevant, it falls away on its own. This process is active discernment (see diagram). When we use discernment as a tool, we are actually turning the sacred dimension upon itself, since discernment does not come from a mental calculation but from awareness without thought.
