08. Transformation of the Physical

Fragment ID: 3295

The habit in the physical is obstinate and seems unchangeable because it always recurs – even when one thinks it is gone. But it is not really unchangeable; if the physical mind detaches itself, stands separate, refuses to accept it, then the habit in the physical begins to lose its force of repetition. Sometimes it goes slowly, sometimes (but this is less frequent) it stops suddenly and recurs no more.
