Believe it or not most astral Attacks are not caused by curses
or witchcraft. Half the time astral attacks are not intentional.
They take place on the subconscious level and are the result of
negative thinking, verbal abuse that goes round and round in the
head, stale energy that has been left behind in a place and bungled
rituals that may have done by amateurs hoping to create prosperity
or love.
Below I have identified the different kinds of astral attack
that can take place and hopefully it will help you avoid cursing
yourself as well as others.
Thoughts are like seeds �once planted and allowed to grow they
can take root and choke the potential out of your life. The idea
is to keep your psychic garden free of the spiritual equivalent
of suckers, weeds and anything else that might abort your spiritual
growth, personal will and soul freedom.
Thought Forms
Thought forms tend to affect our lives on a mundane level. That
is because they tend to be sent by ordinary people. We may experience
more day-to-day and practical frustrations. This kind of attack
is usually from someone you know, with whom you�ve had an unpleasant
encounter with. Perhaps you have had a disagreement and they have
been disgruntled with you all day. You might feel the �bad energy�
from that person�s thoughts.
The Subconscious
Curse
This kind of curse usually comes from someone that we know quite
well and actually cares for us. They may even be praying for our
well being to our actual detriment. A good example of this is the
individual who prays for the person with AIDS to have an �improved
immune system� when the disease itself is an overkill of immunity.
This is where others think they know what�s best for you, but actually
don�t and you feel as if you are leading a life directed by someone
else, and not you.
The Self-Fulfilling
Prophecy Attack
This kind of astral attack is often stated verbally in the form
of a negative affirmation such as �You�ll never make your rent unless
you get a job.�, �There�s no way you can write that book in two
weeks� and �Your aunt had diabetes so you will probably get it to.�
These kinds of words have a powerful effect on our subconscious
mind and set to programming the conscious mind to write a disaster
script for us.
Unsolicited
Criticism and Verbal Abuse
This might seem obvious, but this is actually a form of direct
astral attack. The Unconscious Mind is very much influenced by words
and picks up these cruel words. Because they hurt we often repeat
them over and over in our minds. When we do this we are basically
subconsciously cursing ourselves with another person�s words.
The Collective
Wish for Failure
The more successful you are, the more you attract envy and jealousy,
and therefore the ravages of the evil eye. There are many people
out there who will happily congratulate you on your success and
then secretly go home and wish that you would fail for once. This
can be especially powerful if you find yourself at the mercy of
a large group of people who are all wishing for your demise at the
same time.
The Psychic
Vampire
If you feel exhausted, fatigued or drained just by encountering
a person, then chances are you have encountered a person who is
adept at hooking into your third chakra and sucking your energy.
If this person is always on your mind, to the exclusion of all other
thoughts, than it is possible that you have become engaged in an
energy exchange with someone who is trying to dominate or bend your
will to their way.
Live Hauntings
These forms of astral attack tend to take the form of obsession
and the object of obsession is usually a lover. When healthy relationships
terminate, neither individual is left with a sense that they are
no longer whole. Live hauntings don�t usually occur unless the real-life
relationship was vampire like and co-dependent in the first place.
The most likely suspects for this kind of haunting are addicts,
alcoholics, manic-depressives and people with personality disorders.
Although there may have been a genuine love there at one time, with
one partner nurturing and taking care of the other, they often degenerate
into power and ego struggles. Long after the person is gone, the
person who is left behind often still feels addicted to that person.
Or they still strongly feel their presence around them and feel
that presence is reflected in omens, coincidences and synchronicities
that occur in their lives. If you are completely obsessed with an
individual � if you see or feel their presence everywhere, you are
most likely the victim of a live haunting.
Amateur Shamans
and Witchlets
Sometimes you deliberately cross such a person, other times they
see him or herself as an agent of karma and sometimes you don�t
know them at all. People playing with magic are a growing problem
in terms of astral pollution on our planet. They are influenced
by television shows, movies and the availability of spell books
on the market. These individuals are generally quite harmless, but
they can cause havoc in one�s life on the mundane level. If you
have no known enemies in your life, are reasonably free of envy,
resentment and fear and yet still cannot figure out where your haunting
is coming from, it is probably the result of a thought form produced
by an amateur shaman or witchlet. These attacks are not intentional;
they are just the products of bad aim, unfinished rituals or lack
of magical protocol in general.
Cults, Gurus
and Group Mind
If you feel irresistibly compelled, beyond all rational reasoning,
to join a cult, coven or religious organization, you may not be
necessarily following your heart, you may be under astral attack.
Cults work by downloading information into your crown chakra. Victims
often feel inferior, unholy or lonely if they do not join the cult.
Another major clue that you are under astral attack that originates
from group mind is this simple test � stay away from them for a
few days. If you suffer extreme misfortune or bad luck, then they
are probably practicing some form of binding on you to keep you
with them. Also if you are experiencing a run of bad luck, it is
possible that the group has stolen your guardian spirits and holding
them hostage, so that you feel unprotected in any situation that
doe s not include them.
Astral Imprints
An astral imprint is a bad memory that won�t go away, but the
memory is not necessarily yours. Other people leave astral imprints,
dead or alive in building or environments. Living individuals can
also leave their astral imprint on objects that they have touched
or used during the time that you knew him or her. Antiques often
hold the astral imprints of former owners. If you find yourself
obsessed about an object or feel disturbed or upset while holding
it then you are most likely dealing with an astral imprint.
