What kept you safe as a child is wearing you down as an adult.

"What served you at five years old might be slowly killing you at thirty-five."

From my book The Choice Is Always Yours.

Before you were seven, you worked out what you had to give up to be loved in your own home. The same move that kept a five-year-old safe will wear a grown adult down, because you're still giving up the same thing and nobody's asking you to anymore.

Most people have a pattern like this running and don't know it's there. If you want to find yours, do the Atlas. It names the pattern running your life in a single sitting. It's free at codexofthearchitect.com

This is one transmission. The Atlas takes your own pattern and shows you the structure underneath it, free.
