Alert to Our Unconscious Patterns


Now here's a sentence for you. It's from A New Earth by Tolle again. I was struck by it.
Be alert to detect your unconscious patterns of form identity like: demanding recognition; getting attention by talking about your problems or illnesses; giving your opinion when nobody asked for it and it won't change anything; concern with how you're seen such as trying to impress others or appear important; taking things personally, feeling offended; making yourself right and others wrong through mental or verbal complaining.
Once you detect one of these patterns, let it go. Just drop it and see what happens. Discover the enormous power that flows through you into the world when you stop emphasizing your form-identity.
