It’s like the cricket in the jar. When the lid is on, the cricket learns the limits of its space. It only jumps as high as the jar allows. But even when the lid is removed, it continues staying within that invisible boundary. The conditioning is stronger than the freedom.
Many of us live the same way. Our adult self responds as the child who had no other options when the damage occurred. The barriers are gone, but the wound convinces us they’re still there.
Healing is what helps us realize—the lid has been removed.
