Listener question: how do patterns of selfing change?

Listener question: So if the selfing patterns are established over years of habitual thinking (Neurons that fire together wire together) does it require a certain amount of willpower to not slip into these patterns? Or is willpower an activity of the self as well?

You often speak of beliefs and behaviours falling away, does this happen through witnessing patterns and staying with uncomfortable feelings in the body alone?

Is vigilance needed at this point to not slip into storymaking?
