A simple answer to how we stop a repetitive pattern is within the energy of the Archetype Transformation of the Body, Death. It is a death to the old way of being, and an initiation into a new level of consciousness and beingness.
Thanks! It certainly seems to be a part of it..what Ra refers to as the disciplines of the personality in general.

The only way I can do it is to ignore the suffering of animals because it hurts too much. Example: I drive by properties all the time where their horses are in the AZ sun with no shade, in a small space of dirt, and the horses are just standing with their heads down, obviously depressed or unhappy. It breaks my heart. I can definitely forgive the ignorance of the owner. But what do I do about the poor horse? What do I do about my inability to see it and deal with it myself?
I really don't know. I get frustrated about things all the time also, including this issue, and I sometimes think we have to admit that we really don't understand a lot of things. I think we definitely have to be mindful of our emotions and anger..not to direct anger towards others consciously.
I ask myself daily about what I'm supposed to be doing, how I may best help..as it's all very confusing and challenging. One thing that seems certain is we have to give back and perform some kind of service..big or small. It would seem logical that we should address foundational issues of a crumbling house first..so something related to survival needs and the least among us. Food, shelter, healthcare, clothing etc..that's my opinion at least.
Also, since visualization is the tool of the adept, and if we really believe in the mystical, perhaps one of the keys is to live a more ritualistic/sacred life.
Interestingly enough, I also drive by this one horse..he's a smaller one don't know what you call them. It depresses me because the horse is clearly miserable, but luckily there is a tree in the one corner for it to stand.
Would anyone like to try an experiment with group visualization involving these horses?
