God Thinking Pre-empt 6

"You wonder why you keep getting into the same old circumstances:
  • the same old financial trouble
  • the same old sickness
  • the same old problems
  • the same old situations
These are vicious cycles and quite often it takes a calamity to get you out.  Sometimes you think the calamity is the problem, when it is the calamity that moves you from that stagnant place of not having control over oyur situation to a place where you have to deal with it.
For most of us we can't seem to break away on our own because we are practically gorging on unfit input, so we don't break away until some great external force slays our problem.
  • You don't stop cheating until you are caught.
  • You don't stop eating trash until you get a heart attack.
  • You don't stop smoking until you get cancer.
  • You don't stop avoiding your children until there messed up.
  • You don't stop spending until you are deep in debt.
You can't stop anything until you unlearn the behavior that is manifesting itself as the problem.  And to stop is not enough.  It won't be long and you will find yourself right back in the same mess.
         
The only way to succeed at unlearning is to eradicate the link that started the whole process in the first place.  The link that took a simple erroneous thought and turned it into an experience.  That link must be removed."
