Not Another Lifetime of Perpetual Reactivity and Unrealized Potential

Having committed to the divine qualities, as a way of anchoring myself in them, what next confronts me are the reaction patterns that vasanas (core issues, early childhood trauma) give rise to.

Up till now, I’ve been mainly concerned with my vasanas, and not with the automatic reaction patterns they give rise to.

Commitment does not prevent my patterns being triggered. Right now it only determines my response.

I’m discovering that these patterns are independent of the vasanas that gave them birth. They’re children of the vasanas. They incorporate the vasana’s thinking, but they can deploy separately.

They’re as bothersome as the vasanas themselves. Someone has lain their wet coat over a shirt I was drying. Where are my pliers … again? Someone didn’t tighten the lid on the hot sauce and I got it all over me when I shook it.

I could very well be the cause of all of these instances. But my automatic filter is that someone else is. I need to look good and be right.+++
