When, through a burst of clairvoyance, one of the members of the group stops playing the games that take place in the group,
When one of the members of the couple stops participating to the ongoing game within this couple,
This is a dangerous moment but particularly interesting for the adventurous soul.
The group, the couple, is located on the crest where, on one side, it can tilt as a whole and join the valley of authenticity, continue on its path and reinvent itself differently.
On the other side, only the individual who stops the psychological game changes, because the group rejects him or ceases to exist as such.
Likewise, the couple having lost one of the founding dynamics of their identity ceases to exist as a couple.
Anyone who resists the advent of this phenomenon will perhaps realise their loneliness and question their behavior or they will more or less quickly find a play partner to create new clothes for an identity that seems so fundamental to them to wear.
It is not easy to see what remains when the crutches of the psychological games in which we are involved fall down.
The anxiety of existence, the stress of our environments, so convenient and efficient,
the use of compulsion for these psychological games, the patterns that we maintain, destructive, inhibiting progress on the path, are the behavioral pacifiers that we come to nurse.
They are the quilts with which we cover ourselves entirely
When the big bad wolf Truth comes to prowl.

I have come to think that life is constant self re-invention. The difficulty is that, generally, those around us would rather we stayed the same. But that is stagnation and, ultimately, death.
I have no answer, other than « go forward »…

Change within non-change.
Are you familiar with the first chapters of Ecclesiastes?
I have been stunned by their proximity with taoist teachings.
This is really disconcerting… a layer I had completely missed.
I believe that change is everywhere,
yet, nothing changes.

It’s a long time since I read them. But « Everything changes; everything stays the same, » is a phrase I have used often.
