I've found that having power doesn't necessarily mean you have control of it. If you don't have control of power, you often don't have power itself either. Rather unfortunate, but that's the reality I've seen so far. The opposite is just as bad I assume, what is there to control without power? I'm not entirely sure how to obtain more "control" of the results of my rituals, while still getting results at all.

The way I usually explain this problem is by using an electrical circuit analogy.

_____________________________________________________________________

Voltage = spiritual power, resistance = resistance against your intention, current = the rate of manifestation (maybe this isn't perfect, has been modified over the years)

So lets say you're not half bad in the voltage department, but your trying to manifest something that doesn't align with reality, ie the resistance is rather high.

V = 100V, R = 100kOhms

I = V/R = 100V/100kOhms = 0.001A, or 1mA, so basically fuck all

Is it impossible for you to achieve that thing, technically no--- but is it worth doing, probably no.

_____________________________________________________________________

One thing you could try to do is limit your resistance by altering your intention. One example of this would be to "I have X in a way that doesn't harm me or anyone I love forever now", (which btw could very well be literally impossible and you'd be sending your spiritual power against an infinite resistance) to "I have X now". Notice there's less conditions your ritual has to achieve for it to manifest in the second version, but also keep in mind this is a double edged sword; you're giving your energy more freedom to operate, and this could lead to negative consequences against you or someone you care about.

I've noticed that the affirmation isn't the only thing that matters when stating the intention, it only acts as a sort of laser pointer not the bullet itself. The bullet comes from a subconscious mechanism that doesn't require our full understanding to use, just like our heart beats without us knowing how to operate it either. If you're a douche bag like me who is totally okay with cutting corners, your subconscious probably won't have the same innate limiters that a more sane and ethical person would have. Your energy is your consciousness, seemingly.

If you want to be a good boy with strong ethics, you need a lot of power to compensate for higher than necessary resistance, and if you don't then you just need to be okay with messy results. Obviously, I'm more in favor of the second option. The issue with the second option is that the ritual can "work", as in have results, but still fail because those results were so far from the conditions of success you were aiming for.

The problem I have is, well, my lack of self control. I must admit that I have a sort of spiritual/intellectual laziness that is a serious problem for me and my development. I've gotten as far as I have by essentially "cheating", and now when I'm in positions where putting actual effort into things is necessary I lack the discipline to. Go figure, huh? I only meditate and use rituals irregularly, even when I get clear results from doing it... Yes that's dumb, contemplating on it right now as I write this.

The other issue is lack of motivation. I have almost no motivation for financial or otherwise mundane things, and this isn't a good thing for me anymore. I see that the next "chapter" on my path is applying what I've acquired from the spiritual world to the material world. The material in this context being more permanent, concrete and stable things rather than the abstract pre-material reality of the astral. You might think this is easy, but it's actually difficult when you barely have any sanity intact, or maybe just the illusion that you do.

I'll figure this out, just thinking out loud. Maybe someone reading this will catch a whiff of wisdom for their own path.
