Our invisible ropes

Do you know the story of the peasant, the ass and the invisible rope? Here is a brief summary:
A peasant were travelling from his village to town with his three ass to sell them. At nightfall, the town was still far and the peasant decided to have a rest.

As he was tying his ass to a tree near there for the night, he realized that only two ropes were available. He went then to ask for one more to a neighbor who, unfortunately, didn't have any either, but gave him the following advice:

"Return to your ass. Then, simulating as if you had a rope in your hands, tie it to the tree using the same gestures as you would with a real rope. Your ass will not move".

The peasant followed the advice given him by the neighbor and went to sleep. When he woke up in the morning, his first glance went straight to the tree where he left the third ass the day before. And, to his great amazement, the animal was still there.

"Good, it worked!", cried the peasant joyfully. But, when he tried to move the ass in order to continue his trip, he couldn't. The ass remained stuck at the same place. Not understanding what was happening, the peasant went back to his neighbor to tell him the story.

"Did you remove the rope?", asked his neighbor. "But, there is no rope at all. Remember, I just made a simulation yesterday". "For you, there is no rope. But for the ass there is one!", replied the man. The peasant returned to the ass, simulated this time to release the ass from the tree, and the animal could move at last.

That is the story. But, it is not a story as such. Because like the ass, all of us we are tied to invisible ropes as well, that prevent us from achieving our goals, and live freely the life we want. And, if we could look closely at ourselves, we would see many ropes or bad habits attached to us also.

This story, in fact, is a description of how harmful habits formed in the subconscious mind become our second nature and our truth . The good news, however, is that as they are formed, these habits can be removed also, just by using the same mechanism that created them.

You'd ask "how is that"?

It is known that the brain, or mind cannot make the difference between what is vividly imagined or simulated and the reality. That is, if you keep pretending or simulating the same thing for a certain period of time, this will become an habit and the subconscious mind will reproduce it in your life as a perceptible reality.

That is how it woks.

Think about it and...
