The Cost of Clinging to the Old

A clear and simple message comes from the Wise, who understand deeply the ingrained tendencies of human nature. They speak of stubbornness—a familiar companion to us all—and invite us to recognise how easily it can close our minds, narrow our vision, and keep us bound to what no longer serves.

Stubbornness is the habit of closing the mind and intuition—of shutting the ears and eyes to the messages We, the enlightened Ones, offer in countless ways to guide humanity. It is the persistence of old habits even when guidance is clearly inviting you to stop, to soften, or to change direction.

Stubbornness clings to old rules, old ideas, and old teachings, even when the moment calls for new understanding. It is the inability to recognise when it is time to release the past and move in a new way.

When your gaze rests on the horizon and your awareness stays open, the pull of blind obstinacy begins to loosen. In that softening, openness becomes possible again.

Stubbornness is, at its core, a fixed refusal to shift one’s stance. If this feels familiar, simply notice it. Keep a steady watch on the mind and its well‑worn patterns, and allow yourself the chance to step beyond them when the moment invites it. These times call for openness—for the courage to loosen old certainties and meet what is emerging with a clearer, more responsive heart.

As we release what once held us, may we move together into a clearer space, prepared for whatever is unfolding just beyond the visible horizon.
