“If you try to deal with change at the level of the form, then no transformation is possible. The structure of thinking and behavior that is creating your present reality will continue to operate, and what you create will continue to follow the pattern that is causing you to suffer.”

— Spotted Eagle

Spotted Eagle says that the anxious mind is obsessed with controlling the form the outcome takes, now and in the future. When we are trying to transform something, this is very often where we get stuck. What we may be forgetting is this: there is a deeply ingrained pattern to our perceptions, behavior and choices, and these are what result in 90% of the outcomes in our lives. If we work at the level of trying to control the form the outcome takes, we leave the dysfunctional structure in place and most of what we create will therefore be distorted and unsatisfying. Spotted Eagle urges us to take a different approach, and that is to employ consciousness so that the anxious mind can be supervised, its distorting influence recognized, and the temptation to act out its issues as drama can be resisted. To do this efficiently, Spotted Eagle suggest that we focus on one thing about our out-of-power pattern that can be changed now. Small shifts in consciousness can make an enormous difference in our level of awareness and in our power to create real and lasting change.
