How does a life change?

These are notes I made prior to putting together my collection, Exit From The Matrix:
A person tends to ‘gather up his own life’ and construct its boundaries and possibilities in his own mind.
It’s like taking a snapshot of life and pinning it to the wall and saying: THIS IS WHAT MY LIFE IS. IT COULDN’T BE ANYTHING ELSE.
And when he does that, he builds a thought-form that tells him where he can go and what he can do and where he won’t go and what he won’t do.
I once had a client who was very enthusiastic about our work. In each session, he would come across new ideas and resolve to put them into action. However, he never did put even one idea into action. It was as if these new possibilities were bouncing off something already set in his mind. And that something was, literally, a thought-form he had built years earlier, for the purpose of defining his life.
This thought-form operated as a barrier. It repelled anything new.
In this sense, a person can have his own private status quo. No matter what he does, no matter what he says, things will remain the same.
