Beginning practitioners of the Way of Adidam often reach a plateau in their practice, and then do not grow significantly for years. In this chapter, we explore that plateau in greater detail, and we focus on several elements of practice that are key to moving beyond that plateau:

• a practice that is increasingly more moment-to-moment
• an increasingly more whole bodily practice
• an increasingly deeper surrender of the whole body to the Divine — transforming what would otherwise be merely the bodily experience of an organism into a gesture toward transcendence of body identification.
• an increasingly deeper demonstration of self-understanding.
• a practice that has grown enough to start benefitting from certain key advantages — like an increasing intensity of Happiness; an increasing sense of liberation from the binding effects of conditional existence; and more.
