The 3 Stages of Every Spiritual “Block” (And How to Move Through Them)
Your resistance isn’t a stop sign. It’s a diagnosis — and here’s what it’s trying to tell you.

Let’s get real about resistance.
That feeling of being stuck — the “block” between you and what you want — isn’t a flaw in the universe’s delivery system.
It’s a flaw in your interpretation.
Most teachings will tell you to push through, visualize harder, or “raise your vibration.” But what if that struggle is the most important signal you’re getting?
From my own journey and many conversations in our community, I see people hitting this wall in one of three ways. See which one sounds familiar.
Stage 1: You see the 3D problem, but miss the 3D mirror.
The incompetent receptionist. The slow client. The crashed website.
Your focus is entirely on the external “problem.” The story you tell is about their incompetence, their slowness, their fragility.
What you need isn’t a solution to their issue.
You need to recognize that the outer world is simply showing you a printout of your inner software.
Stage 2: You understand the law, but you argue with it.
You know the quote: “Your assumptions create your reality.”
You can even feel the truth of it. But when a trigger hits, your first reaction is still blame. And then, your second reaction is annoyance… at the law itself.
Because taking full, 100% responsibility is, in the moment, incredibly annoying. Blame is easier.
What’s missing isn’t knowledge.
It’s a protocol for that exact moment — a way to meet the annoyance without letting it run the show.
Stage 3: You’re doing the work, but you’re still at war with yourself.
You catch the old assumption. You state the new one. But there’s a tug of war in your mind. Part of you clings to the old story, and you think you have to fight that part until it surrenders.
This internal battle feels like a block. It feels like failure.
What’s needed isn’t more force.
It’s the gentle art of allowing two contradictory truths to coexist until the old one, untouched and unfed, simply dissolves.
Wherever you are, the path forward is the same. It’s not about fighting the block.
It’s about realizing the block itself is the compass. Its uncomfortable pressure is pointing directly to the assumption that needs your attention, not your anger.
I was in Stage 2 just the other day, annoyed at a vet’s receptionist and then immediately annoyed at Neville Goddard for being right.
The shift didn’t come from winning a mental battle. It came from a simple, peaceful practice I now use whenever that “blocked” feeling arises: Pause. Question. Allow.
It’s the practice we live by in our free Shift Your Identity community. Because the goal isn’t to become a perfect manifestor. It’s to become a peaceful observer of your own power, one triggered moment at a time.
If you’re ready to trade the war of your blocks for a conversation with them, you’re exactly who we built it for.
