This is an incredible example for a teaching in mysticism: Where the logical mind goes with a task as daunting as this is to try every possible combination until each combination is exhausted. This seems like the only way forward. But, have you ever considered, that there could be a more efficient way of unlocking the phone? And that is by studying the person themselves, the one who created the original pattern. Tracing back their history, their temperaments, their thoughts, characters. The original pattern would have been a symptom of all those things. So what truly stands between the man and his gold is understanding, not chance and certainly not statistics. Studying themselves as they are now, and then studying everything about them and their psychology during the time when the original pattern was made. This pattern can be unlocked by the power of *sheer understanding*, and it is exactly this great spiritual lesson and challenge this particular person is going through in their lifetime. With the full irony and paradox of his situation--great WEALTH is hidden behind a part of himself he DOES NOT CARE TO RECALL. And by reconciling with his past, which is what he has not yet thought to do, he may yet walk into great wealth. You don't remember your password by trying every combination. You remember your password by going back to who you were, where you were, and what shaped your thoughts back when you first made it. Most humans treat life, trauma, career, relationship, hardship, etc. the same way - they try everything and eventually hope to hit the mark. In truth, you yourself are the key. You know all the secret ways. You just need to have a better look at yourself first. If you know who you are -> you know what drives you. If you know what drives you -> you know where you're going. If you know where you're going -> you know the shortest path there. If you know the way -> you know how to enjoy it and make it look effortless. ![[IMG_6800.jpeg]]
