As the view of my vasanas becomes more and more transparent, so does the lessening of this ego induced gravity, so that the view becomes straight into Truth, even if the residual habit is to avoid it.
Kind of like when the good doctor Phil is examining some odd behavior in a guest, he frequently asks them, "How's that working for you?"-- why are you holding on to the illusion? What's the payoff in terms of your world view? So the curved lines are warping off not to avoid the existence of the vasanas, but the ego induced gravity that the vasanas are infused with. :-)
