What you resist may indeed persist. But what you persist (without examining hidden motivations) may resist you. The Persistence Paradox posits that there is a kind of desire that becomes soo desperate and fused with our sense of identity that the wanting becomes such a weight, and in trying so hard to claim it, we actually end up pushing it further out of reach.
"Freud would have called this the tyranny of unconscious motivation, the hidden wish beneath the visible want. Jung would have called it the shadow of desire, the place where yearning collapses into compulsion.
And modern spirituality tries to package it neatly inside a single, shimmering word: manifestation.”
In this latest piece, Saturn’s Daughter explores why manifestation alone doesn’t cut it. She delves into the psychology of wanting too much shaped by the relationship between hyper-focus and attachment-anxiety and discusses why our unconscious rejects our conscious desires.
