The obstacles that keep you disconnected are the following.
First, Don’t look for opportunities and occasions to be offended or belittled or upset in any way. Be of good humor. In Neutrality, you cannot be offended or belittled or upset, etc. If you are looking for things to upset you, then the ego is in control and is seeking to keep you disconnected from the Source within. Notice how you must look outside yourself to find something to bother you? This is a trick of the ego in that it keeps you looking everywhere but inside for what you need. There is an old saying from the east that states that god was looking for a place to hide from humanity because of their ceaseless demands and prayers. The devil came along and gave god a suggestion as to where to hide, somewhere that no human would ever look. He told god, “Hide right behind their eyes. They will never look there”. If you are looking outside of yourself to find fulfillment or annoyance, then you have already lost and will never find what you are looking for in such a manner.
Second, be aware of the energy of your life. Don’t expose yourself to negative energies, in any shape or form. Look at the energy of your life and be careful what energy you surround yourself with, what people you surround yourself with, the music you listen to, the television shows you watch, what you do with your idle time, etc. Change the energy of your life and change your life itself. Anger, resentment and hatred are low energies that weaken you, so limit your exposure to such vibrations. If you spend time being around angry people, don’t be surprised if you turn out angry yourself. Energy is contagious. We all affect one another, whether we are aware of it or not. If you listen to unpleasant music, you may become unpleasant yourself. If you watch violent television shows, you may become violent yourself in time. Be wary of what energy you expose yourself to, as it will have an effect on you.
Third, the source reacts according to what you believe. If you believe there are shortages in your life, you will have them. If you think you are unhappy, unloved, etc., then you will have exactly that. The source only knows how to BE. As far as what it will be, well that is up to you. See yourself as already having that which you want to attract into your life. See yourself from the end, think from the end, as in where or what you wish to be. In the practice of magick and witchcraft, etc., the same principle applies. In order for a spell to work, one must imagine the end result. It has also been said that “As a man thinketh, so he is”. St. Ignatius of Loyola used to say, “make as if” in regards to changing one’s life. Do not think of what is missing or what always has been because that mode of thinking is what will keep you exactly that way. Think of what you wish to be instead. Then miracles will occur. Be in harmony with source, as it knows nothing of what is missing in my life unless you tell it so, then it makes it so, because that is what you believe. The difference between most people and Self actualizing people is that the latter must be what they can be. This harkens back to the concepts of dharma again, and doing what you are meant to do. In magickal circles, this is referred to as the True Will. It is your free will united to the will of god within you. When you attain this True Will, life becomes a breeze. You are always doing what you should be doing. Everything you need flows into your life, as if by “magick” because in fact, that is what it truly is—magick.
