We are aware of our sensory and sensual motivations and unaware of our internal motivation that stimulates them. Our internal motivation is confused and that is why when we wish to change ourselves. It is not possible.
We are trapped in a time warp and there is no fluidity in our perceptions. If we remove the net which has ensnared us, we would be able to find ways to change ourselves. We would seek compatibility and would be able to adjust to the circumstances. Our self- esteem becomes a problem because we find that our adamence perceives any change as a threat to our self- image.
We have to confront our mental blocks and observe the reality. This is only possible by practicing breath awareness, counting our breath backwards from fifty-four to zero without errors. Focusing on a long exhalation. We can add a mantra like So Ham or Aum. With persistent practice, our blocks will slowly topple over.
