Working with Energy and Beliefs

In the last article, I spoke about the art of working with energy and beliefs to overcome inner problems. The key point of that writing was simple but often overlooked. It is not always possible to ignore a problem and pretend that it no longer matters. Many popular manifestation and law of attraction methods rely on the idea that we can shift reality merely by withdrawing our attention from what we dislike and focusing entirely on what we desire. The logic is that by diverting one’s energy toward the preferred outcome, the unwanted circumstance dissolves through neglect.

While this approach can occasionally work, it fails when we are dealing with deep energetic formations; thoughts or emotional constructs that have accumulated great force over time. Some creations within the mind are not light ripples; they are thick storms of energy. They cannot be dismissed, because they continue to live and pulse within us. To ignore them is to attempt to outpace our own shadow.

When an energetic creation has gathered too much momentum, the only way forward is through it.(Remember that this is what I said about our new AI and technological singularity, there’s a connection here, think about). You must face it directly. One can do this by working with beliefs, reshaping the thought patterns that feed the unwanted emotion. This is the path of symbolic transformation, because beliefs are expressed through language and symbols. By changing these inner symbols, we redirect the current of energy within us.

But there is a deeper form of work. Beyond belief, beyond words, lies direct energetic practice; what may be called inner alchemy. In this approach, negative feelings and obstructions are not resisted or ignored, but reabsorbed and redirected. The practitioner takes the raw energy of the emotion, the same energy once seen as negative, and turns it inward to be digested, refined, and redeployed toward a new creative direction. Through this inner alchemy, energy is never lost; it is transformed.

Here, in this particular article, I wish to take the next step. I will show that even belief work, as powerful as it is, still operates through symbolism. It speaks the language of the mind. Energetic work, by contrast, is the direct manipulation of what we truly are. And to see why this difference matters, we turn to one of the most revealing paradoxes of self-transformation: the desire to not desire.

The Energetic Configuration of No Mind

This turning point marks the birth of a new energetic configuration: the configuration of no mind. It is not that the person has disappeared, but rather that the mental activity, the restless commentary of thought, has paused. Awareness remains, but now it is clear and unbroken, uncolored by interpretation.

This new configuration feels simple yet powerful. Time loosens. The space within feels open. Thought still arises at times, but it no longer clings to itself. What once felt solid now feels fluid. Desire no longer fuels action; instead, energy itself flows as spontaneous movement.

This is not the absence of life or emotion. It is aliveness without tension. One could say that the mind has fulfilled its own wish; it has desired itself out of existence.

Energetic Work Beyond Beliefs

This process demonstrates that belief work, as useful as it is, can only take us so far. Beliefs operate through symbols: ideas, words, mental structures. These are tools for managing energy indirectly. They are bridges, not destinations.

Energetic work, on the other hand, bypasses symbols entirely. It engages with the current itself, with the raw pulse behind thoughts and emotions. Where belief manipulates the map, energy manipulates the terrain.

When the practitioner learns to work directly with energy, old emotional storms are approached differently. Instead of replacing one belief with another, one feels the dense energy directly, holds it, and reabsorbs it like water drawn back into the sea. From there, that energy can be reused, directed toward the creation of new realities.

This type of work is not imagination or belief adjustment; it is living transformation. To operate at this level is to understand that the laws of cause and effect begin inside the energetic body long before they manifest in the world.

The Catch-22 of Real Sorcery

Inner Alchemy and Outer Reality

Our energetic configuration defines what we call reality. When inner energy transforms, outer experience adjusts itself without direct effort. This is not abstract philosophy but simple energetic truth. If one internal vibration changes, it must echo throughout the structure of experience.

Working on belief can help, but belief is, at best, a translation. Energy is the original language of being. When one reconfigures energy directly (through reabsorption, redirection, and refined perception) the external world cannot help but mirror that new pattern.

This is why energetic work is superior. It goes straight to the foundation. The alchemist learns that to alter emotion is to alter destiny, to reconfigure energy is to reshape the world. Through this understanding, the practitioner no longer seeks change by pushing against obstacles but by reorganizing the inner current that produced them.

Desire Transformed into Energy

In the end, the desire to not desire shows us how energy transforms itself. Desire is a movement of energy; an expression of life seeking form. When refined, its momentum carries it into stillness, and from that stillness, new clarity is born.

This process captures the secret of inner alchemy: nothing is rejected; everything is transformed. Thought becomes light. Emotion becomes motion. Desire becomes awareness.

When this shift completes itself, the practitioner no longer struggles to manifest peace or abundance. They become the source that generates them effortlessly. The mind is quiet, but life moves vibrantly through the field of energy that remains.

This is the real completion of the sorcery. It is the ending of struggle not by suppression, but through transformation. Desire burns itself clean and reveals what was always present: pure energy, alive and awake, shaping reality from within.
