Meditation, visualization, mind control
If you want to develop as a Magician, certain techniques of mind control are necessary to learn, as it is these techniques which open the doors within the mind..doors which give access to the power needed to project energy (for want of a better word) in things like, spell casting, charging Talismans, Invocation, evocation. In other words, altered states of consciousness are the key to Magickal powers. Very little success with Magick will be possible until the student is able to concentrate, Meditate, and visualise. All of these abilities are brought into play whenever an act of Magick is performed.
The best time for doing these exercises is right after the Opening Rite (Banishing of the Dark Lord or other) and the Middle Pillar rites. The activated centers will assist in your undertakings, more so as they develop and the chakra's opened.
Relaxation and motionlessness. first you need a straight back chair to sit on, and if you desire, a small cushion to support your back to aid comfort. Now, sitting in your chair, you place your hands palm down on your legs. (If you have a crystal, this may be placed in between your hands which rest on your lap.) Try now to just sit in this position without movement, you will become uncomfortable, there will be aches, itches, your mind will also prove to be a playground of wandering and unrelated thoughts. All this will distract you from what seems to be a simple task.
Persistance, however, will be needed over days, weeks and months to bring your body to a stage where these symptoms disapear.
While in this position just focus on your breath, as it goes in and goes out. Just observe the current of the breath, and try to concentrate on the breath only, ignoring other thoughts that may arise. ( relaxation can be improved by visualising the exhaling breath removing all tensions..Start with the feet, inhale while visualising your feet, and exhale as you visualise the feet relaxing ..

Something is after me... I don't know what it is but I need help...

Something? If what you're talking about is what we call, "The Whistler", then you did something wrong in the ritual. To fix this problem, you will need to complete the ritual once more. This time, correctly.

God's probably distracting itself from it's own existential crisis.

Any tips on improving visualization? Do you mean actually seeing with eyes closed/open like a hallucination or seeing with the mind's eye?

That is the trick. You've played vidya, Right? It doesn't matter whether it is M$ solitaire or the latest Assasins's creed. You understand that the point is to make you quit in frustration exactly like in real life. We're all dealing with a very sophisticated scenario here. But the point is NOT to quit. You've been given the necessary remedies, so to speak, but at the same time you're expected to learn something. The truth. The truth about reality as a whole. It is enormous, but your brain is framed just right to get the basics. This is 101. Someone will understand this.
Many are called, but a few are chosen.
