Sure. The uneasiness is fear. The fear is that if you start deliberately entertaining certain types of thoughts, they will lead you to act and behave in certain ways, and ultimately those actions will lead to adverse consequences.

Extreme example: You start believing that you can fly. You step off the edge of a tall building. You fall straight down and kill yourself.

Moderate example: You start believing that you could make a lot of money pursuing a career in what you really love (eg art or music). You quit your stable, boring job to become an artist / musician. Two years later, you are a down-&-out, broke and homeless artist / musician.

That is your uneasiness. As I said, all you have to do is move slowly. Keep ratcheting the thoughts upward, one step at a time, one day at a time. As reality responds - and as you see that it really does respond - you will be able to feel more accurately the scope of your current abilities of conscious creation.

And as you use them more and more, they will expand. Remember, they never have to expand faster than you want them to.
