==Habits of One's Personality==
The body has We have a certain reactions to cold, heat, hunger, and you are in the habit of having these reactionsa particular logic of causes and effects, and this habit has made a kind of formation in one's physical naturethe consequences of all things, that the relation between all movements. It is, for us a creasefact which we accept, a fixed crease of the bodyeven without thinking about it, and that's how because we have always lived inside it is. Formations are the result of habitsBut if we had not always lived inside it, we would see it in another way. Similarly, there are "formations" of character; for instance, And one can make this experiment: if one is in goes out of the habit determinism of getting angry when things are not pleasing, the habit makes world as it is at present—this world which is a sort mixture of inner crease in the nature physical, vital, mental and automaticallyof something of a spiritual influence or infusion (quite veiled), without any controleverything that happens is the combination of all this—if we go out of all that (we can do it), if we rise above the physical, angry emerges. This material world as it is what is called a "formation", they are habits which have become like a part of one's characterand enter another consciousness, we perceive things totally differently.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0407/2123-aprilnovember-19511955#p22</ref>
==Storehouse of Habits: Subconscient==
=Why? The Need to Break from Grooves of Habits=
 
One is free only when it is the Divine who makes decisions in each of us, otherwise men are the slaves of their desires, their habits, of all conventions, all laws, all rules. And the more they think themselves free, the more bound they are! <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/11/february-7-1970#p75</ref>
==To Get Rid of Habitual Surface Reactions==
There are three occult sources of our action—the superconscient, the subliminal, the subconscient of which we are not aware. We are aware of is the surface being which is only an instrumental arrangement. The source of all is the general Nature,—universal Nature individualising itself in each person; for this general Nature deposits certain habits of movement, personality, character, faculties, dispositions, tendencies in us, and that, whether formed now or before our birth, is what we usually call ourselves.  But what we are on the surface is being constantly set in motion, changed, developed or repeated by the waves of the general Nature coming in on us either directly or else indirectly through others, through circumstances, through various agencies or channels. Some of this flows straight into the conscious part and acts there, but our mind ignores its source, appropriates it and regards all that as its own; a part comes secretly into the subconscient or sinks into it and waits for an opportunity of rising up into the conscious surface; a good deal goes into the subliminal and may at any time come out—or may not, may rather rest there as unused matter. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-subconscient-and-the-inconscient#p6,p7</ref>
But this is not so; one can change. There is another consciousness deeper within man - his true inner being, which is his real self, but is covered over by the superficial nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/anger-and-violence#p28</ref>
One must go deep within oneself and discover that one does not exist. Only the Divine exists, and so long as you have not made that discovery, you cannot advance on the path. When one has made this discovery, one becomes aware that one was nothing but a bundle of habits. In everyone there are these hundreds and hundreds of "selves" who speak and in hundreds of completely different ways—"selves" unconscious, changing, fluid. The self which speaks today is not the same as yesterday's; and if you look further, the self has disappeared. There is only one who remains. That is the Divine. It is the only one that may be seen always the same. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/8-april-1953#p23</ref>
One ==How to Improve Habits: Helpful Practices == In his physical consciousness the human being is free only when it always weak and unable to get rid of or resist its habitual movements. There are three things that help. First the psychic being; the second is the Divine who makes decisions inner consciousness always awake. Lastly, the Mother's force always there and receiving also a response at once from the physical consciousness. These three things together can do anything. <ref>http://incarnateword.in each /cwsa/31/levels-of us-the-physical-being#p62</ref> People who get angry, otherwise men are the slaves habit of their desiresflying into a rage; one fights against that, their habitsrefuses to get angry, rejects these vibrations of all conventionsanger from one's being, but this must be replaced by an imperturbable calm, all lawsa perfect tolerance, all rules.

==How The important thing is to Improve Habitsget rid of the habit of the invasion of troubling thoughts, wrong feelings, confusion of ideas, unhappy movements. These disturb the nature and cloud it and make it more difficult for the Force to work; when the mind is quiet and at peace, the Force can work more easily. It should be possible to see things that have to be changed in you without being upset or depressed; the change is the more easily done.<ref>http: Helpful Practices ==//incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/silence#p18</ref>
===By Will Power===
Begin with a small thing, a small detail. you insist on it with the same regularity, you see, either not to do it or to do it—you insist on it and compel yourself to do it. You make the same kind of effort, but it is more of an inner effort. After taking these and succeeding with them, you can unite with a greater force and try a more complicated experiment. And gradually, if you do this regularly, you will end up by acquiring an independent and very strong will. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/3-november-1954#p17</ref>
===DetachmentBy Perseverance===
Detach means When one wants to stand back and refuse change something of the material life, whether the character or the functioning of the organs or habits, one must have an unfaltering perseverance, be ready to look on begin again a hundred times the movement as his own (same thing with the same intensity with which one did it the soul's own) first time and look on as though one had never done it as a habit of past nature or an invasion of general Naturebefore. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/07/30/inner-detachment-and-the-witnessmarch-attitude1955#p6p22</ref>
===PerseveranceBy Detachment===

===By Surrender to Divine===
Surrender means to consecrate everything in oneself to the Divine, to offer all one is and has, not to insist on one's ideas, desires, habits etc., and to allow the divine Truth to replace them by its knowledge, will and action everywhere.
===How to Change Different Parts of The Being?===
To change one's body one must The physical consciousness is full of inertia—it wants not to move but to be ready moved by whatever forces and that is its habit. This inertia has to do millions of times be cured by putting it into contact with the right forces from above. To aspire for the same thinghigher wideness, purity and peace, because so that that may occupy the physical and the body is a creature true Force work instead of habits these invading ideas and functions by routine, and because to destroy a routine one must persevere for yearsimpulses. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0731/30difficulties-of-the-marchphysical-1955nature#p24p20</ref>
In his physical consciousness The spirit of vital falsehood, dramatic and romantic, obscurs the human being is always weak reason and shuts out common sense and unable to simple truth. To clear the vital, one must get out of it all compromise with falsehood—no matter how specious the reason it advances—and get rid the habit of or resist its habitual movementssimple straightforward psychic truth engraved in it so that nothing may have a chance to enter. There are three things that help<ref>http://incarnateword. First in/cwsa/31/the psychic being; -nature-of-the second is -vital#p15</ref> One must have the inner consciousness always awakehabit of mental concentration. LastlyThe habit of meditation, reflection, analysis, deduction, mental organisation. Otherwise, if one is just "like that", if one lives life as it comes, then it is exactly like a public square: there are roads and on the Mother's force always there roads people pass by, and receiving also a response then you find yourself at once from the physical consciousness. These three things together can do anythingcross-roads and it all passes through your head—sometimes even ideas without any connection between them. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3109/levels-of-the8-physicaljanuary-being1958#p62p9</ref>
