Mental Blocks and Ruts
Get in the Way

Mental Blocks
 

Mental ruts are the byproducts of long repetition of the same thought patterns. We have dug these deep channels in our mind by repeating the same thought patterns over and over.

These ruts have become so familiar as to be invisible now to us. We can't even see the thought patterns in our own mind. We take them for granted. We've lost sight of the fact that we have the choice of other ways of thinking.

It's like losing flexibility in a muscle, but worse, because with a muscle we can detect it right away. Seeing the mind without the mind's habits getting in the way is quite a trick.

That's why Solution Stimuli work. They are the "mental tricks" required to pull off this paradoxical bootstrap operation.
