Human beings have to unlearn their patterns. If they don't, they just repeat the patterns they know ENDLESSLY. Initially breaking out of the illusion that we are the ego, we are confronted by countless patterns. Some are easy to let go of. Some are easy to see. These are the ones that people shout about in videos and blog posts on the Internet.

Other patterns are more difficult to see and let go of. That's why we develop our disciplines around inquiry and inner work.

Thanks for your comment. Contractions of all kinds can happen. They are not bad. The important thing is to surrender and to not resist the experience.

The second part is a much more complicated question which is also very individual. I recommend coming to some of my online classes if you'd like to dive into the specifics to figure out what is going on.
