Everything is energy and that’s all there is. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.

But there is no energy unless there is a tension of opposites; hence it is necessary to discover the opposite to the attitude of the conscious mind.
It [Joyce’s “Ulysses”] plays on the reader’s sympathies to his own undoing unless sleep kindly intervenes and puts a stop to this drain of energy. Arrived at page 135, after making several heroic efforts to get at the book, to “do it justice”, as the phrase goes, I fell at last into profound slumber.
In our civilized life, we have stripped so many ideas of their emotional energy, we do not really respond to them any more.
The normal sequence is that energy is prompted at the perceptual system, passes into consciousness, and thence to the motor system, where it is discharged by action. (I feel an unpleasant sensation, realize that I have been bitten by a mosquito, raise my hand, and swat the insect.)
In this scheme, the “unconscious” and the “preconscious” are agencies or authorities (Instanzen) which the wish has to satisfy; the unconscious is more tolerant, and helps the wish to smuggle itself past the censorship of the preconscious. As a result, psychical energy is discharged without disturbing sleep.
Energy wasted on negative ends.
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Because of the a priori element in intention, good intentions are so tempting – compared with a successive unfolding in time – and have so often in them some narcotic which develops an inner gaze instead of a resilience that begets energy.
