When we attempt to make any change, we run up against the opposition of this status quo within ourselves. And the fact that the vital being can influence the mind to justify, whatever it wants to do, even if those things are diametrically opposed to The evolutionary attempt, Albert Einstein noted at one point that one cannot solve a problem with the same Consciousness that created that problem.

Desire are the very stuff of the ordinary human vital Consciousness. They could not be changed. If they were not a deeper Consciousness within, which is of quite another character. There is within you a psychic being which is divine directly, a part of the mother, pure of all these defects It is covered and concealed by the ordinary Consciousness and nature, but when it is unveiled and able to come forward and govern the being, then it changes the ordinary Consciousness throws. All these on Divine things out and changes the outer nature altogether.
