You’re only threatened by patterns. Patterns are fierce; patterns are destructive; patterns are hard and heavily charged-up; but they’re stupid! There can be accidental defeats, but, in general, the only time a pattern can vanquish the human being is when the human being slips back into a pattern and acts in a patterned way in response. As long as you’re being flexible yourself, there’s almost always a chance to duck a pattern. The pattern doesn’t know what to do without a patterned response from you. Remember the stupidity of the pattern.
