Mountain climber, Ed Viesturs, climbed the world's 14 highest peaks, without the use of supplemental oxygen. Viesturs describes the expeditions in his book, There are No Shortcuts to the Top. The way I see it, Viesturs synchronized with the spiritual perception of persistence and judgment. This is in contrast with trying to go along with the human perception of persistence and judgment, alias stubbornness and opinion. Viestures policy was: getting to the top is optional, getting back home is mandatory. Human beings find it counterintuitive to synchronize with spiritual perspectives.
