Popular Resistances
These are some of the various excuses we use to avoid investing in Self Mastery: No time, no interest in knowing the higher self, too nervous, better things to do, no money to invest in personal growth, can’t be bothered, too tired, social commitments, etc. If you think about it, this list of rationalizations can get very long.

Ways to Consume your Energy
These are ploys to keep your energy level below that of your resistance so awakening and joy cannot occur. A partial lists includes ejaculation, overwork to the point of exhaustion, overeating, over exercise, emotional drama, talking all the time, excess mental activity, TV, movies, web surfing, video games, debilitating drug / alcohol use, anger / violence, depression, etc. Basically, anything that distracts, fatigues, or exhausts your life force so you do not have to experience true self-knowledge and bliss.

Most people are very adept about consuming their energy and keeping their resistance high. Our culture eagerly supports this. Many folks secretly wonder if consuming and resisting is all there is to life, and, for a few, this rises to a conscious inquiry of some importance. A few of these people will be motivated to actually do something to explore higher energy states and self-knowledge. Kriyas always occur in some form when a person is authentically overcoming their resistance. Usually these are quite pleasurable sensations. © 2006, Keith E. Hall. All rights reserved
