A person does not remain unjust or filthy or holy because some sentence has been passed on them. Each state simply continues under its own momentum for as long as it stays unconscious. The mind cannot lift itself out of its condition by wishing or by being told to change, so it goes on being what it has always been.
This is not doom but a plain description of how the ego works. Your patterns repeat themselves automatically until awareness enters and sees them. Becoming conscious is the one thing that changes the outcome, because a pattern you are aware of no longer runs you unopposed, and only then does the old continuation finally break.
