The little man’s omni-presence in everyone’s life explains everything. It explains why you can feel one way about something, and inexplicably say something just the opposite; or why you want to do a certain thing in life, but never have the energy to even try; or why you will engage in activities that you clearly recognize as being detrimental. Also, (of specific interest to a few). it explains why you can decide to arrange and manage your thinking in a certain physically feasible fashion, but are never able to carry through with the plan. This is all – ALL explained by the existence of the little man inside of each person who runs their life.
The reality of his existence and power resolves all questions concerning the extreme difficulty, nay near impossibility, of a person changing. The little man does seem somewhat amenable to slight alterations in the way his human host conducts their physical life. He will permit them to change their diet so as to lose weight, or alter other behavior to save their life. (Apparently even wee ones are not without vanity and fear), but go beyond matters of the body into affairs of the psyche and a dramatic shift occurs. The little man then evidences no tolerance whatsoever for change, not where HE lives! (Even just rearranging the furniture is out of the question.)
When faced with threatening physical realities, the little man may make his human host stop using drugs, but he does not collaterally stop him from thinking about them. So too, a man may want to stop using his consciousness in a certain way, but in this instance, the little man will not allow it, at least in no wise as readily.
The little man will permit, indeed, direct you to make changes in your life that will physically extend your life, but he has no interest-in, or even observable tolerance-for you making any changes that might extend your conscious life. (Is there something about that possibility that frightens, or is even a threat to, the wee one?!)
