The safe haven of hell
This is from my favorite Buddhist blog "Genkaku-Again."
Money quote:
"The arrival point approach (which I think is normal) allowed me to sidestep the one thing I feared even more than I feared my inabilities ... the reality that anyone can be 'here,' but 'here' varies according to the user. This wide-openness, this edgelessness, this easy freedom (how could anyone not be 'here?') was too, too, too scary for words. I was far more comfortable imagining a steady-state, one spiritual- life-fits-all scenario. If anyone could be 'here' and 'here' could be anywhere and everywhere... if that were true, then the comforts of inadequacy and failure were not enough and I would have to, have to, have to ...
Learn to enjoy myself."

To a homeopath, that's the hydra headed miasm of psora in one of its more characteristic guises.
