Resistance

Letting go of wanting to change what is disliked can make real change more possible. Releasing resistance can help distinguish what can and cannot be changed. Resistance is presented as an internal psychological phenomenon rather than an external obstacle. There is no universal test for determining which kind of resistance is present. Resistance emerges at the start of creative work and works against completion. Resistance appears as procrastination, distraction, avoidance, and urges to abandon the work. Resistance becomes stronger as the significance of the creative work increases. Emotional interference is defined as resistance to reality as it is. Wanting to change something can keep a person attached to the unwanted condition. People resist their calling when they fail to act on it. Creative or divine energy becomes corrupted when people yield to internal resistance. Refusing to evolve and pursue purpose is linked to the corruption of meaningful creative impulses. Resistance can arise from either trauma or core nature, and confusing the two can cause wasted effort and misalignment.
