It seems hopeless.


By defending our patterns we maintain our position in the comfort zone of the familiar and the known.

We crave change, but we have been conditioned from early childhood to reject it.

Change is the nature of all phenomena in the universe yet it is against our nature to change.

When we are challenged on these grounds, we do not listen. We are immediately on the defensive and our mind's main focus is on developing strategies and tactics to reject the information.

Most of the time we win and thus missing the opportunity to grow, we lose.

We find a good reason to rule out the information. We conclude that it wasn't worthy of listening to in the first place, and we continue to do what we did before. We live in denial and we maintain denial as we fear we will never get the goods, better deny them altogether.

A fox went to the vineyard to steal some grapes, the vineyard was well guarded surrounded by a sturdy toll fence. The fox went around it once and twice and thrice and couldn't find a gash, hungry he dragged his paws to his den mumbling to himself; " sour are these grapes anyhow."

A great victory indeed. And a great reward to reap…


We manage to defend our limiting boundaries, and so we avoid transformation.


Could it be, though, that all this resistance, and even the resentment, are not even ours? Could it be that the resistance is a pattern, a habit, and an addiction in itself?

The more you repeat any pattern, the deeper is the ditch that you dig for yourself.

Just as an exercise, it is extremely beneficial to break some of our patterns. We think we are free, yet we are bound by so many fetters.
