Many are currently demonstrating pain points or traps of transformation:
- inability to switch from the mind to feeling;
- the desire to control, to manage, “to make it the way I want”;
- a sense of one’s own specialness/uniqueness/being above or below another;
- ego desires.
The article will examine each of these pain points in more detail. Read about what traps may be encountered on the path of transformation.
4 traps of transformation
1. Difficulty in switching from the mental plane to feeling
Several traps may be encountered here.
One of the pain points, which has been discussed repeatedly and has intensified recently due to the current external turmoil, is what is in the mind and what is in the heart.
“Think with your heart, feel with your head” is a well-known phrase voiced at the Kryon conference back in 2011. Since then, this topic has been constantly examined from different angles on the Keys of Mastery project.
As soon as traumatic events occur externally, including at the collective level, mental beliefs are activated first in most people.
Then, as a consequence, the same emotional swings, the same dualistic rakes, arise in a circle. This happens to help you shake the framework of your mental beliefs.
In the same specific (ordinary everyday) situation, you can feel differently. This means you are capable of experiencing the same experience in completely different sensations.
In current realities, you are switching from mental analysis, from mulling things over, to sensory sensations. The range of what you can feel in the same situation is completely different.
Why do you experience such a variety of sensations, seemingly in the same (everyday) situation? This is necessary because you are making a transition during the process of feeling. You are switching to sensory sensations – now they are leading you.
The first pain point of the current transformations is the switch – from the mind to feeling (sensations).
It cannot be said that there are those who have already completely switched. Everyone is currently in the stage of switching. Including those who are commonly called empaths.
Empaths are people who are able to feel the state of another. But this is not about their own sensations.
Even empaths are not always able to recognize their own sensations, to understand what they themselves feel, having disconnected from the external.
2. Control/management, the desire for it to be my way
Another trap of transformation concerns the theme of control, management, as well as the desire for “it to be the way I want,” for example:
- for the government to be like this;
- for the country to be like that;
- for the husband to do what I need;
- for the children to behave in such and such a way, etc.
When there is a mismatch between two realities (what you want and how it actually is), some fall into a state of resentment (this manifests in the number of grievances experienced recently); some begin to aggress and fall into an uncontrollable state of anger (“let it be as I want, and let the whole world bend to me”).
This is how the basic rejection manifests that other people can think differently, feel differently, have different views and beliefs.

3. Desire from the mind vs desire from the heart
Many people wonder how to check whether their desire comes from the mind or from the heart.
If you want to check whether your desire originates from the mind or from the heart, test yourself using the criterion – “do I desire this for everyone without exception?”.
Set a benchmark for yourself: when you desire something for yourself, it automatically means “I desire it for everyone.”
If you look at what you want through this lens, the rose-colored glasses/blinders will fall from your eyes.
As soon as selectivity/exclusivity appears (I want it for myself, for my family, for my nation, for any “chosen corner”), your desire fails the test – for truthfulness, for whether it comes from the heart.
In the new realities, wanting for myself equals wanting for everyone without exception.
If you see ego-desires in yourself, it does not mean it is bad. As soon as you see something in yourself and become aware of it, you have a field for work. The only question is whether you want and are ready to change something in yourself or not.

4. “I am special” vs “I am unique”
Recently, many people confuse the concepts of specialness and uniqueness.
Every person is unique. Every person is born with different vibrational signatures, different states, different paths to achieving goals, etc.
Moreover, each person experiences the potential given to them differently through experience.
Many on Earth are walking the path of discovering their own uniqueness. Most people continue to wonder what their purpose is. It is not about purpose, but about your uniqueness, which you bring into the world by doing anything at all.
Someone, stepping outside, talks to flowers and butterflies, and this is a manifestation of their unique vibration – the ability to establish a dialogue with nature and transmit it to others through admiration and beauty.
A person does this every day of their own free will, without thinking about whether it is their purpose or whether there is any great meaning in it. They simply cannot help but do it.
In this way, a person transmits their unique vibration and fulfills what they came for.
Uniqueness differs from the feeling of “I am special.” It is interesting to note that it is impossible to be special alone. In order to feel “special,” you have to join some group of people and be a part of it.
For example, someone considers themselves special because they live in a certain country. Someone is engaged in a certain field of activity and therefore considers themselves special.
When you discover something within yourself, you are unique. Everyone has their own prism through which they look at the world and see what they see.
For this same reason, angels are drawn differently. People look at them through different prisms: for some, angels have a shining halo, for others, they have little wings, for others, something else.

Summary
One of the main pitfalls is the tendency toward opposition. At the same time, this is one of the cardinal differences between those who truly live spirituality/esotericism/metaphysics and those who merely play at it.
The feeling of one’s own superiority over others, for whatever reason, is a game of spirituality. These are the same dualistic seesaws.
Until you become rooted in “I am you, and you are me” and feel this from within, you will continue to play games.
“I am you, and you are me” means — I am not greater, but I am also not lesser than you; I am as unique as you are unique. The only difference between us is how much we (you and I) have accepted this uniqueness within ourselves.
The current period is an excellent time for retrospection and review of where your little ears are sticking out — those very pain points and knots.
After you find and recognize your own glitches, you return yourself to a normal state.
