Patterns

I want to share something I read about Patterns. I've always been interested in how we, as humans, unconsciously follow the same patterns unless we make a conscious effort to change. Most people are aware that they've done the same thing over and over..yet they are too afraid to take the next step.
Afraid of therapy, afraid to find out that they have a flaw...even afraid  they may find out that they actually are afraid.
For those brave enough to do the work it takes to change, this was very helpful.






"A pattern will echo before it leaves you / you leave it for good. A pattern is the lesson, and an echo is the test to see whether we have passed the lesson. What does this mean?
It means that all of the hard work, all of the full moon and new moon rituals, all of the meditating and reading and all of the “law of attraction” “work” that we have done suddenly appears to fail in an instant when we are confronted with the template of an old pattern that we despise. This is called an echo. An echo occurs after we have done all of the heavy lifting and we are certain that we are ready for the “NEW”  the new friend, the new lover, the new business partner, even the new mailman.
This can be particularly frustrating, because it can come out of the blue years after the last time we even saw evidence of the pattern.
It is important to note that an ECHO is akin to a “final departure” of said pattern. but … we can get so caught up in the echo that we end up mistaking it for a pattern and actually play INTO the pattern again, therefore recreating it all over again!


This is a crucial point of examination."


Knowing this we can heal with ease.
