29 On Appreciating Resistance

EXPERIENCE has taught us that it is perfectly understandable to appreciate how deeply ingrained are the ways our mind has been conditioned to avoid dealing with situations that have connections to our deeper lost hurts, pains, and memories.

This is particularly noticeable when we begin to examine how we resist going into those situations that appear to want to take us down memory lane, past any scary bits that have been hidden in the deeper, darker recesses of our minds.


Throughout Our Entire Lives
We Have Been Encouraged
To Do Anything We Can To Escape From
Rather Than To Explore Into
And
Investigate Our Unpleasantness.

  1. It's so easy to find reasons not to work on these things and do the steps we need to do. I just realized today how long it has been since I have read this blog. It's easy to let other things take priority - work, family, daily minutiae - but doing these simple things only takes a little time. Am I not worth this time?
