The biggest plague we are facing

During the course of human history, there have been several ways our minds have been cut off from universal energy and its currents.

Wars, plagues, terrible life conditions, and so forth — imagine trying to focus on developing your energy and relationship with the universe while running for your life.

Now, in the moment we’re living in, the most pressing problem in our modern Western society is… distraction.

Everything distracts us, clamoring for our attention. From the constant notifications on our cell phones to apps optimized to steal every ounce of attention, to the myriad activities begging for our time throughout the day.

This is unique to our time. A century ago, at most, you would have had a radio and a newspaper competing for your attention. Surely, there were other problems — perhaps a 100-hour workweek or dire living conditions in certain areas — that were much worse.

Now that most of these issues are on the path to be solved… you have your phone popping a notification every other second. Ads are everywhere you turn. Something prying for your attention every moment of the day.

So, distraction is now one of our main issues and something we need to guard ourselves against.

Not many good things come from following the whims of your phone apps. I doubt Facebook, YouTube, and similar apps have your best interest at heart when they notify you of their updates.

Sure, they may be useful tools — I use them as well — but they must be used the way YOU want, not the way they decide.

Guarding your attention is now more important than ever since your revelations won’t come from Facebook. Your most important insights will come from within… but for that, you need to listen within rather than to the outside.

Do you have a closed door?

Blocks are often considered a bad thing to get rid of, and most of the time, it would be completely correct.

They hinder your ability to be free and act the way you want to. That’s why they are usually considered as “enemies,” and I often refer to them as restrictive.

But, you need to broaden your perspective. You can think of an energetic block as a closed door.

When the energetic block is there, the door is closed. When it’s not, the door is open.

As you can imagine, sometimes you do want to have your door closed. You don’t want a thief or someone who wants to harm you to enter your house. So you close it.

But sometimes you also want to keep them open. In fact, maybe you live in a place where your neighbors are friendly, and you can keep your door open most of the time.

Of course, we are talking metaphorically.

Either way, a block is necessary in many situations and overprotective in others. Maybe it’s necessary if you are walking around in a dangerous part of your town. You need some contraction and having your door closed. But maybe this is not needed during a dinner date.

The important part is knowing when your door is open and closed and having control over it.

That’s the crucial key aspect. The block itself may not be bad if you are in a situation that requires this protection.

The problem is when we don’t know. We don’t know whether we even have a block, not to mention having any control over that area of our body.

Hence the importance of energy awareness. Without it, you may be walking around constantly with a closed door without even knowing it. The more you become aware of your blocks and energy, the more you can open and close these doors as needed.

That’s what we work on in courses like The Unblocking Process.

Words and the creation of form

Here’s an interesting quote by Charles Haanel:

“We manifest more and more life as our thought becomes clarified and takes higher planes. This is obtained with greater facility as we use word pictures that are clearly defined, and relieved of the conceptions attached to them on lower planes of thought.

It is with words that we must express our thoughts, and if we are to make use of higher forms of truth, we may use only such material as has been carefully and intelligently selected with this purpose in view.

This wonderful power of clothing thoughts in the form of words is what differentiates man from the rest of the animal kingdom; by the use of the written word he has been enabled to look back over the centuries and see the stirring scenes by which he has come into his present inheritance.

He has been enabled to come into communion with the greatest writers and thinkers of all time, and the combined record which we possess today is therefore the expression of Universal Thought as it has been seeking to take form in the mind of Man.

We know that the Universal Thought has for its goal the creation of form, and we know that the individual thought is likewise forever attempting to express itself in form, and we know that the word is a thought form, and a sentence is a combination of thought forms, therefore, if we wish our ideal to be beautiful or strong, we must see that the words out of which this temple will eventually be created are exact, that they are put together carefully, because accuracy in building words and sentences is the highest form of architecture in civilization and is a passport to success.”
