Focus, Giving Attention to Something

[Celeste AikoGal]

Life is all about focus. Whether we focus on negative or positive stuff. As we know and as psychology says, focusing too much on a thing will give it the power depending on how much you focus / give attention to it. As wrote in the other posts, our mind is constantly programmed by a corrupted society and culture. This corrupts the heart as well. If the person got so many traumas or even one, it will be hard to get out of it but, focusing on positive and self-growth things will help so much in rehabilitation. The key is focusing; intrusive thoughts can be what we absorb from external influences or sometimes enemy attacks. As is often said, imagination is the expression of the Soul. This needs to be replaced with negative things, with time and affirmations can help as well. The first thing is Will, which is about knowing it works and "pretending" it works, with no doubts as said in previous posts. Magic doesn't work through faith. It works through experience and it is about enhancing your own life, that without enhancing has no meaning. Magic is not just the spiritual practice, but also doing small changes in your routine that make you feel good about yourself and self growth. This stuff will make you experience a change of emotions going to euphoria, well being for trying a new thing, new outfit, new practice, new aesthetic etc... It brings a big change. Little things in reality are big things, which is the reason we need to be careful to whatever choice we make as well, but at the same time these little positive things can do a big work, as some little negative things can impact your mental health. Focusing is all the opposite of distraction. Distraction means avoiding in every way focusing, which is seeing life as it is, looking at it with no judgement. Distraction brings to dissociation, which makes you lose your emotions, which makes you lose yourself. Focusing brings you to embrace the present moment, which is perfect and you remain in tune with yourself. Heading out and having fun for a walk is not distraction, it is life and it is part of your path. As above, so below. As inside, so outside. Enjoy your life in all the directions, in all its' aspects

Overfocusing on the occult (excess of air - overthinking) will cause fatigue and overfocusing on the material world will cause delusions (excess of fire)

Balancing the two things will reunite the masculine and feminine elements, adding water and earth which is about embracing life in all it's aspects. After you have a certain knowledge, sure keep learning, but also enjoy your external life.

The last night, I had a dream where i got told "being smart means being aware / knowing where-what you belong to". I liked this message and i'm meditating on it to understand more, hope this resonates with the people reading.

Very nice topic as it contains another series of writings of value!

I agree with your sayings as the power of belief empowers everything. The more we believe in something, be it positive or negative, we are giving it focus.

That is why we must be careful not to fall on the negative side of thinking, as to not empower enemy attacks by accident.
