Question: What does it mean that the universe is working against me? What is this universal force that seems to be managing the potentials and happenings of people? For example, I met someone recently, to a very strong and unique attraction, through a series of coincidences. I have noticed a force that is actively keeping us apart and preventing us from getting close. Is it the Mother realm setting up these roadblocks? This seems contradictory to free will. Please help me with seeing a higher perspective here.

Well, the universe is not working against you. I understand it can feel that way and many people have interpreted it that way. We have talked before about whether you see yourself living in a friendly universe or a hostile universe and many people feel they are living in a hostile universe.
Now, there are many people that have experienced that, as you mentioned, you meet another person, you feel attracted, but there seems to be some kind of force that keeps you apart. Well, the explanation for that is simple: karma. You have karma from past lives that gives you an attraction but also repels you from each other. It can be because you have a desire to balance the karma with that other person but you really do not want to get close to that person because you do not like them and what they did to you in a past life. It can be many other complex karmic relationships that play into this.
It really is not the universe, it is not the Mother realm and it is not against free will because it is the result of choices that you, both of you, made in a past life. It is simply a matter of recognizing that in these cases there is something to resolve, which means you give the decrees in order to consume or transform the energy that was accumulated and then you use our tools and techniques to expose the separate selves that you have with you from the past and resolve those selves. This will in some cases mean that you can now have some kind of relationship with the other person or it will mean that you will come to the conclusion that you do not need to have another relationship, because you have dissolved the karma, so what is the point?
One of the unfortunate effects that we see in spiritual movements of all kinds is that spiritual movements often bring people together who have karma with each other from past lives. If they happen to be of the opposite sex, or even in some cases of the same sex, they can have in their mind that when they feel an attraction to somebody, they need to have a sexual relationship. But it is often the karma that causes you to feel the attraction because you want to resolve the karma. And the best way to resolve the karma when you are spiritual is to use whatever spiritual tools that you have, in our case invocations and decrees and resolving the separate selves. If you do this, you will often find that it is unnecessary to have a physical relationship with that person and it is actually much better for you because it frees you up to meet a person that it is in your divine plan to have a relationship with.
Many people have been trapped in these karmic relationships, sometimes going from one to another, and it distracts them from their divine plans and sometimes prevents them from meeting somebody that they could have a more positive relationship with. Karmic relationships can often be very intense, give a very intense attraction in the beginning but after some time, when the honeymoon is over, various problems start occurring and it often becomes obvious that the people really do not like each other and have very strong animosity towards each other. It can give all kinds of conflicts in the relationship, especially if they are now bound by marriage or having children and therefore cannot easily exit the relationship.
