What Are You Resisting? Part 2 by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
Page: 1 2
Resisting Being Controlled By Yourself
The resistant pattern can continue on the inner level, creating much immobilization. For example, if one part of you is saying, "We've got to lose weight," or "We have to get this place organized," or "We've got to get the bills paid and the taxes done," or "We've got to stop being late everywhere," another part might be saying, "You can't tell me what to do. I don't have to do what you say."
It's as if there is an inner controlling parent telling you what to do, just as your parents might have, and an inner resistant child resisting in the same ways you might have learned to resist when you were growing up.
If you are stuck in this inner pattern, it is important to realize that the same thing is true as when resisting another person: it's more important to you to resist being controlled - even if it is by you - than to be loving to yourself. Obviously, if you are overweight, it would be loving to yourself - to your health and well-being - to lose weight.
It would be loving to yourself to clean up your living space and get it organized, to pay your bills and get your taxes done, and to be on time. If being loving to yourself were your highest priority, you would do these things or whatever else you are resisting. You are stuck because resisting being controlled, out of a fear of losing yourself, is more important than being loving to yourself.
Resisting Being Controlled By God/Spiritual Guidance
This same pattern can be operating in reaction to spiritual Guidance. I've counseled many people who clearly hear the small still voice of Spirit guiding them, but refuse to listen out of the fear of being controlled by God. Others resist even the possibility that spiritual Guidance exists for them out of this same fear.
If you are stuck in your life, you might want to look at what you are resisting. You might want to explore the wounded part of you that is so afraid of loss of self - of being controlled, engulfed, smothered - that you resist all that is truly in your highest good. Making this unconscious pattern conscious is the first step to getting unstuck.

Scorpio Horoscope

Drinking makes such fools of people, and people are such fools to begin with that it's compounding a felony.

Simple Steps to Rid Your Home of Dust Mite Allergies
Eight-Legged creatures infest your blankets, pillows, couches, chairs, carpeting and more. They are only half a millimeter big yet a still living, eating and defecating in your house. They trigger allergy symptoms and feed on your dead skin. What am I talking about? Dust Mites. Many people are unaware that there are millions of dust mites in their house and know little to nothing regarding the eradication of dust mites. |
