When one has learned how to process each of the different types of non-ideals, when starting to process an area of limitations, there is an order of which types of non-ideals should be processed first, for most efficient progress.
This order is because some types of non-ideals can hold other types of non-ideals in place. For example, excuses-and-justifications can hold incidents in place in order to use them. So attempting to process those incidents would be very inefficient, or maybe impossible, if the relevant excuses-and-justifications are not processed first. Processing should be easy and efficient, if done in the most effective ways.
So this is the order I recommend:
(Polarization or intense energies). If there is strong spiritual-charge on the area, which is limiting awareness and/or processing in that area, then it is efficient to reduce that spiritual-charge first, which will improve awareness and processing. An efficient way to reduce spiritual-charge is to process relevant polarities first and/or add all-options to relevant definition-structures.
There are a few types of non-ideals which need processing as soon as they are available. These include:
Areas of strong introspection . . . any area which is obviously introspected (reduced in size, inward-looking, withdrawn) needs processing when it is found as it will tend to prevent other non-ideals from being processed. My Conditions process is effective on these.
If one is processing and an area is unexpectedly difficult to process, find the Part of oneself which is causing the area to be unexpectedly difficult to process, raise it (ideally including its Beingness at the bottom boundary of the universe) up to the level of awareness, and ask it for the reason it is making things difficult to change. Then handle as appropriate. Or erase its stored context until it ceases making things difficult.
A distinctive repetitive convulsion affecting one’s body (typically experienced as a repetitive compression and tension in one’s body). These are known, in Filbert’s Excalibur Revisited, as “rock slams” and should be handled when they are spotted, as per his instructions (i.e. handle the relevant Purpose), since they prevent one from being willing to have presence in an area (and presence is essential for processing).
Dropping out the bottom of a universe. These make relevant limitations very much more persistent, so are very well worth processing . . . details here.
Enforced pre-defined limitations. These are especially common in the second half of the second time-line of the Magick-universe but can occur anywhere in the Magick-universe or this Physical-universe (or lower universes). They can be handled efficiently by erasing the whole of their mechanism and structure, as well as the limitations which caused one to be a victim of such things.
Conditions are ideal to process next, because they hold a lot of other non-ideals in place.
Excuses-and-justifications. These also act to hold other non-ideals in place (including incidents).
Item-chains are processed next.
Harmful-justified-actions next.
(Then process everything else relevant)
And process incidents last.
This order is most efficient because it is top-down and first handles the types of limitations most likely to prevent other limitations from being processed effectively. Most people are working mostly bottom up, so this order of processing can seem to be the opposite of what they would “naturally” do.
