Resistance
What exactly is this monster? The following few chapters from
The War of Art will bring us up to speed:
Resistance’s Greatest Hits
The following is a list, in no particular order, of those activities
that most commonly elicit Resistance:
1. The pursuit of any calling in writing, painting, music, film, dance, or any creative art, however marginal or unconventional.
2. The launching of any entrepreneurial venture or enterprise, for profit or otherwise.
3. Any diet or health regimen.
4. Any program of spiritual advancement.
5. Any activity whose aim is the acquisition of chiseled abdominals.
6. Any course or program designed to overcome an unwholesome habit or addiction.
7. Education of every kind.
8. Any act of political, moral, or ethical courage, including the decision to change for the better some unworthy pattern of thought or conduct in ourselves.
9. The undertaking of any enterprise or endeavor whose aim is to help others.
10. Any act that entails commitment of the heart—the decision to get married, to have a child, to weather a rocky patch in a relationship.
11. The taking of any principled stand in the face of adversity.
In other words, any act that rejects immediate gratification in favor of long-term growth, health, or integrity.
Or, expressed another way, any act that derives from our higher nature instead of our lower. Any of these acts will elicit.
Resistance.
Now: what are the characteristics of Resistance?
-----------------
Resistance Is Invisible
Resistance cannot be seen, heard, touched, or smelled. But it can be felt. We experience it as an energy field radiating from a work-in-potential.
Resistance is a repelling force. It’s negative. Its aim is to shove us away, distract us, prevent us from doing our work.
Resistance Is Insidious
Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work. It will perjure, fabricate, falsify; seduce, bully, cajole.
Resistance is protean. It will assume any form, if that’s what it takes to deceive you.
Resistance will reason with you like a lawyer or jam a ninemillimeter in your face like a stickup man.
Resistance has no conscience. It will pledge anything to get a
deal, then double-cross you as soon as your back is turned. If
you take Resistance at its word, you deserve everything you get.
Resistance is always lying and
always full of shit.
Resistance Is Impersonal
Resistance is not out to get you personally. It doesn’t know who
you are and doesn’t care. Resistance is a force of nature. It acts
objectively.
Though it feels malevolent,
Resistance in fact operates with
the indifference of rain and
transits the heavens by the same
laws as stars. When we marshal
our forces to combat Resistance,
we must remember this.
---------------
Resistance Is Infallible
Like a magnetized needle floating on a surface of oil, Resistance
will unfailingly point to true North—meaning that calling or
action it most wants to stop us from doing.
We can use this.
We can use it as a compass.
We can navigate by Resistance, letting it guide us to that calling
or purpose that we must follow before all others.
Rule of thumb: The more
important a call or action is to
our soul’s evolution, the more
Resistance we will feel toward
pursuing it.
Resistance Is Universal
We’re wrong if we think we’re the only ones struggling with
Resistance. Everyone who has a body experiences Resistance.
Resistance Never Sleeps
Henry Fonda was still throwing up before each stage performance,
even when he was seventy-five.
In other words, fear doesn’t go
away. The warrior and the artist
live by the same code of necessity,
which dictates that the battle must
be fought anew every day.
Resistance Plays for Keeps
Resistance’s goal is not to wound or disable.
Resistance aims to kill.
Its target is the epicenter of our being: our genius, our soul, the
unique and priceless gift we were put on this earth to give and
that no one else has but us. Resistance means business.
When we fight it, we are in a war to the death.
---------------
Rational Thought
Next to Resistance, rational thought is the artist or entrepreneur’s
worst enemy.
Bad things happen when we employ rational thought, because
rational thought comes from the ego.
Instead, we want to work from
the Self, that is, from instinct and
intuition, from the unconscious.
Homer began both The Iliad and The Odyssey with a prayer to
the Muse. The Greeks’ greatest poet understood that genius
did not reside within his fallible, mortal self—but came to him
instead from some source that he could neither command nor
control, only invoke.
When an artist says “Trust the soup,” she means let go of the
need to control (which we can’t do anyway) and put your faith
instead in the Source, the Mystery, the Quantum Soup.
The deeper the source we work from, the better our stuff will
be—and the more transformative it will be for us and for those
we share it with.
Friends and Family
The problem with friends and family is that they know us as we
are. They are invested in maintaining us as we are.
The last thing we want is to
remain as we are.
If you’re reading this book, it’s because you sense inside you a
second self, an unlived you.
With some exceptions (God bless them), friends and family are
the enemy of this unmanifested you, this unborn self, this future
being.
Prepare yourself to make new
friends. They will appear, trust me
