I had a fairly significant realization today about problems. As we know, processing does not improve a being in the presence of a problem. I was in the habit of trying to make financial problems (for example, debting) go away by making more money. This approach worked to a certain degree but in the end the financial problem returned with even more energy and power. The problem with the problem is that it exists as its own entity and is usually quite filled with charge. So trying to bypass it by creating a solution over the top of it doesn't really work longer term. It may not even work short term.
My realization is that problems need to be handled as a processing item unto itself. In my case, "to solve any debt problems I have." Or "to have only X amount of debt" and so on. We in Ascensionism (I didn't mention that other dirty word) have all sorts of tools (processes) to clear the charge on things like negative and desired identities (excessive debtor, debt-prone being, or in-control of debt person), charged incidents, charge on the topic area, wrong beliefs, and so forth.
These problems that vex our lives have been there for many lifetimes and usually are the result of many incidents and charged events. So it appears to me that handling problems via processing has been a major bypassed item for me. Perhaps because it was too charged or perhaps for another yet to be discovered reason. In any event, it is a good learning discovery for me and one that people should be aware of when processing their case.

Nice write-up, Anth.
Soooo, what processing action did or have you used to process the issue/area??
Of course, key to really getting the area/subject remedied will be the addressing any old solutions you had used to "solve" the "problem" . . . this because solutions can typically only mask the area.

To handle this problem area, I have used the following processes - Thoughts are Things, Clean Slate and Mass Handling. I did do Presence 3 on "debtor" as well. There are other processes that could be used and that I will probably do such as Responsibility and Celebration of Wins (once I regain better control of my Money (power/energy)).
The biggest issue with problems from my perspective, is they are in present time and future time and generate a lot of felt and unfelt charge. They also tie up a lot of life force particles or attention. Both of these issues are power killers and destroy our ability to be present and do things. They also cause us to create defensive intentions or malicious intentions which compete with our positive intentions or goals.
I spent much of my life battling by-passed problems. One of reasons for this was that I didn't have a solution to the problem so I wanted to occlude it or ignore it. Now it is crystal clear to me that I must, at a minimum, take the charge off the problem by using processing. At that point, I won't be tying up my attention on it or losing spiritual power because of it as much. And perhaps I will be able to find a solution to the problem once it is not red hot with charge. Ultimately, the problem, if is it big enough, must be solved or it will continue to degrade me spiritually and in the physical universe.

One more thing to add: Whenever a session started, I had an item that I wanted to handle and when asked if my attention was on something or I was dealing with an upset, often I would say no (even if this was not the case) because I wanted to handle that item. This is clearly a very wrong behavior. Or perhaps the item was too charged (too much shame, embarrassment, etc on it) and it functioned as a kept. This was also the case when I did solo processing, oddly enough. In fact the goal of processing is to free up life force particles and attention so we can be more present. Keeping problems as kepts does not accomplish this objective.
Interesting and powerful realization for me after 18 years of doing processing.

Hi all !
Thanks
@knowledgeracer and congratulations for your wins and realizations!
I perceive, from my point-of-view / case, my masking devices almost each time I want to address an item, the masking devices start in an automatic way and working at mastery haha, so the item sometimes seems to disappear with a blank sensation about what I wanted to handling, then another things comes to view misdirecting my attention, etc. what a machinery ! At the end sometimes they win focusing my attention on them, just to handle them and, if there is enough time, then go to the real item.

Interesting, Anthony.
I had my younger brother in session today (he just went back home).
And we were looking at a problem and the solutions he has and could apply to the problem.
After a few iterations of solutions and what could or would be the consequences of implementing the solutions I asked him to look again on the problem and rephrase (restate/rename) it.
It became clear that the problem became smaller and he more causative about it. After a while there was not even a problem to oppose (one of his go to solutions).
He is new to processing and I want him to become more literate with different aspects of case, in a way processing with an educational component to it.
One of the lessons I learned is to check the item again after some time, when some charge is blown. Getting a more correct item can speed up processing. Sometimes the item is also of no interest anymore and I save me from overrun.
I hope this is of some value.
All the best,
Christian
It is clear that most problems I have had were very unwelcome visitors - "Unwanted alien objects".
My dominant thought seems to be, "I just want this damn problem to go away." I was at effect of the problem. A victim of the problem.
Now it's time to be at cause over the problem especially since I caused or created it. Maybe I will run Responsibility in it. Maybe dones and restraints. I going to run Thoughts are things on the thought that I just wanted them to go away. Maybe clean slate, "problems" and "financial problems."
:D Wants run wonderfully well on our "Repeater Technique" this because they are basically intentions . . .
Or, you could pick up the intention in or behind the "want" and run repeater on it.
