Pressfield says "Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.”
I think Ram Dass said something like "the lions guarding the temple gates roar louder as you get closer"
When we pursue our potential can be met with challenging events and thoughts... it is tough to know when this "resistance" is coming up because it's something we are meant to endure as part of our highest calling vs. a sign that we're trying to climb the wrong mountain
Moreso natural forces of resistance that are challenging such as the resistance Steven Pressfield describes in the War of Art such as fear, doubt and unforeseen events
I totally know what you are talking about. I think ultimately we all have to build this discernment in ourselves, but one distinction I've noticed is whether something is a one-off experience that is life reflecting a learning opportunity vs. a prolonged sense of discomfort/disenchantment. The latter to me is absolutely an alignment thing. Usually the call is to take both the learning and realign in my experience
Do you mean natural forces of resistance as the type that is helpful? Curious to understand how you are defining this more
