Still aware of how we get use to habits and a certain way of doing things and it is very difficult to change those habits. Most people find it almost impossible. However, as we see ourselves more and more how others see us and are objective about ourselves, we become aware of how our own ingrained habits can confine us to a certain way of doing things. A certain type of behavior that limits our spiritual physical and mental growth. Some habits can be good for us. But having discrimination and the guidance of a Master or guru gives us insight as to how we have limited our consciousness and sphere of thought. We are given many mirrors around us to see clearly what we ourselves have become. The mirrors continue until we recognize what boundaries and walls we have bult around ourselves from expanding our consciousness and awareness.
I think eventually something will cause that persons way of thinking to crumble. Usually the more you build it up the bigger the, "disaster."
Without the guidance of a Master and the willingness to change most often there will be little to no change from life to life. Thus we see a lifelong tendency to for instance, criticize others, drink or smoke etc, This is a clear example of a psychological antique.
