Some blind spots can’t be named, only noticed through their effects. In this episode, we go deeper into the practice of behavioral awareness, tracing unconscious patterns that reveal themselves not through what we say—but through what we keep doing.

When our actions consistently betray our intentions, something unseen is at work. The Craft challenges us to take off the hoodwink again and again—until even our distractions become data.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Blind spots are discovered through behavior, not introspection alone
• Repetition is often the clearest signal of unconscious resistance
• Removing the hoodwink means facing patterns that logic can't explain
