Do be kind.

Avoid spoilers at all cost since the games are really about solving puzzles for yourself.

Use the [Looking For Hint] tag if you want help with a level but not a full-on answer.

I'm hoping someone can provide a hint or a clue - but not a spoiler for this level in The Talos Principle (1).

The level is Circumlocution in the "C" land, and I've gotten all the way through it except for the very last blue energy wall. I think I need to use the one Jammer I can find to protect myself from the Bomb but now I have no idea how to open the last energy wall.

Thanks for any tips or hints how you solved this.

I know I can go watch a spoiler video but I'm hoping it won't come to that.

EDIT TO ADD: I came back to it today and figured it out. I don't want to spoil anything, but Aielman15's advice to bring the resources forward helped me see how to solve it. Thanks!

let's go incrementally with clues.

You're correct about the Jammer.

Hmmm... so then I need more connectors to be able to connect the single light source to energy wall's lock... but I'm already using all of the connectors just to get this far...

Maddening.

I know it may sound patronizing, but when you get stuck with a puzzle, the best course of action is to leave it be for the moment, solve other puzzles, and come back later (or the day after). I once spent four hours trying to solve one from the DLC to no avail, just to come back the day after and solve in in less than 10 minutes. Sometimes your brain gets stuck in a loop, where you keep thinking about a solution that isn't working and aren't able to see the real solution.

As for this puzzle specifically, try to get the most mileage from all your tools. Try bringing them forward as much as you can, and use the windows to your advantage.
