Stop Feeding the Ghost of Your Past

A Practical Guide to Starving Your Old Frequency

Have you ever felt like you're taking one step forward, only to be dragged two steps back? You commit to a new path, start making genuine progress, and suddenly, chaos erupts. Old habits resurface, overthinking or revisiting a past hurt replays in your head, and then unexpected obstacles appear. This isn't just a feeling; it's a real dynamic. It’s the sensation of "something that's trying to pull you back."

This unseen force is your "old frequency “An outdated version of yourself that you are unknowingly keeping alive.

1. Your "Old Self" Is an Entity That Feeds on Your Energy

The "old frequency" you're battling is more than just a collection of bad habits or memories. It can be understood as a "blind intelligence" or an entity that exists on the spiritual plane. This entity was created by you—from the energy of your past thoughts, experiences, and emotions.

It’s crucial to understand that this entity isn't malicious. Its single, primal goal is to survive. To do that, it must feed on the very emotional energy it was made from. If your past reality was built on feelings of shame, guilt, despair, or anger, this entity will constantly try to provoke those same emotions in you to sustain itself.

This force has been personified across cultures as "the devil... the beast... the monkey mind in the Buddhist traditions... the lower self to the spiritualists... the primal brain to the scientists... the shadow-self to Carl Jung." It's a universal human experience of resistance against our own desires.

Now that we understand what this entity is, we must analyse its substance. Seven core components of you make up your frequency: beliefs, reactions, expectations, perception, emotionally charged thoughts, conviction, and focus. Your old frequency is nothing more than your old patterns within these seven keys. Its attacks are not random; they are strategic attempts to trigger these specific patterns to keep you trapped.

To make this practical, take a moment for a self-inventory. The best book you can read is the previous chapters of your own life. What is the primary emotional energy your old frequency was built on? Was it shame? Disappointment? Frustration? Name the specific energy your old self feeds on. Knowing this is the first step to starving it.

2. Progress Is the Trigger for Resistance

Here is the most counter-intuitive and powerful insight: the old frequency becomes most active and aggressive precisely when you are making the most progress toward your desired reality. Sudden challenges and setbacks are not signs that you are failing. They are signs that you are succeeding so profoundly that your old reality feels threatened.

"The old frequency will do the most when you're doing the most... Your progression has triggered it into feeling threatened. And in doing so, it begins to retaliate."

This completely reframes how we view adversity. Instead of seeing a sudden wave of chaos as a reason to give up, you can recognize it as proof that your old self is fighting for its life. You are on the verge of a breakthrough, and the resistance you feel is confirmation that you are winning.

3. Its Primary Weapon: Turning a "Slip Up Into a Spiral"

The old frequency’s primary tactic is subtle but devastating. It uses a minor event, a difficult person, or a challenging circumstance—a "slip up"—to provoke an outsized emotional reaction. This is strategically designed to send you into a "spiral" of old, familiar patterns, specifically targeting your old beliefs and perceptions.

This spiral is not random; it is a feeding frenzy. By generating these old emotions, you are serving this entity its favourite meal, strengthening the very reality you wish to escape. The goal is simple: to make you see the world through the old lens and believe the old stories about yourself, thus pulling you back into its paradigm.

Take a moment to reflect. Can you recall a recent time when a small issue suddenly blew up into a major negative emotional state? Where you felt completely derailed by something that, in hindsight, wasn't that significant? That is the old frequency at work, turning a slip-up into a spiral to reactivate old beliefs.

4. Emotional Reactions Are the Glue for the Reality You Hate

Our emotional reactions are the linchpin in this entire cycle, as they are the weapon used to hijack our old reactions and emotionally charged thoughts. Emotion is the "primary programmer of the subconscious mind." When you react emotionally to a negative situation, you use that powerful energy as "glue" to reinforce that very situation deeper into your subconscious, trapping you in the cycle.

The key is to shift from an unconscious reaction to a conscious response. A reaction is automatic, fueled by the old paradigm, and serves as food for the old frequency. A response is a conscious choice made from the new paradigm—the reality you are creating. By choosing a response, you "flip the game on its head" and starve the entity of the emotional energy it expects.

To make this shift in a moment of crisis, you must ask yourself one critical question. It is a practical tool to break the cycle before it begins.

Ask yourself: "How would the version of me in that desired reality respond to this?"

By pausing and asking this, you step out of the old frequency and into the new one, choosing a response that aligns with the future you are creating, not the past you are leaving behind.

5. To Change Your Reality, You Must Cross the "Bridge of Disappointments"

Truly creating a new reality requires a profound shift in what you fundamentally expect for yourself. This is where the old frequency manipulates your expectations and undermines your new conviction. For many of us, expecting the best feels risky, especially after past hurts. This fear is called the "bridge of disappointments."

The old frequency exploits this fear masterfully. It seductively argues that it's safer to expect the worst to protect yourself from being let down again. But this is a trap. By expecting less, you create the very outcomes you fear, because "expectation needs creation." Your expectation of failure is a powerful creative command sent to the universe.

Crossing this bridge: Making the conscious, courageous choice to expect the best for yourself despite the fear of disappointment and is a non-negotiable step.

Choose What You Feed

You are not a passive victim of circumstance, tossed around by random events. You are an active participant in your reality, choosing moment by moment which version of yourself to energize and which to starve. The old frequency only has the power you give it.

Knowing its playbook, which specific pattern will you refuse to feed the next time it tries to turn a slip-up into a spiral?
