Excellent 5th Chakra post

From a student:

###

Dear Steve,

Just wanted to share my adventures in the fifth chakra.  Last night was
an educational sleep.  I suffered a series of dreams that hammered at
my subconscious until I finally got it. 

The relevant part is below-

"...I went back to sleep.  There I faced a series of less easily
expressed disappointments culminating with the realization that it is
folly at best, and an all around lie more likely, to declare oneself
committed to an improvement and yet continue to inflict damage with the
intention of stopping as soon as it's better-  to dance on the roof
because it still leaks,  to eat ice cream because I am still fat, to
hurt a spouse because the relationship is still damaged.  I have spent
the better part of a lifetime telling myself in one way or another that
I'll act the part when I have it, then wondering why I never get there.
  Hmm."

##
If more people would grasp that this is exactly how we behave, and how damaging it is, the world would be a healthier place.  THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE HEALTHIER OR SANER THAN WE ARE.  If you want to improve the world, own up to your own madness.
