The pause that refreshes, to think things over. :-)

Your emphasis on 'you' being freed from static patterns is still feeding
your ego, just as helping others makes 'you' feel good. Those who pursue
enlightenment are also padding their egos. To forward evolution, one must
free a universal static pattern by creating a new and better pattern to
take its place. Often it takes a monumental ego to accomplish that, such
as the brujo had in the Zuni story.
At our present stage of evolution, it is individual egos who break old
patterns in significant ways to further the march of freedom towards
betterness -- another reason to consider changing the name of the
Intellectual Level to the Individual Level.
Best regards,
Platt
