ChiDragon Posted 4 hours ago When people think about justice, then, they want revenge . If one don't get even with that person, the emotional pain won't go away. However, from a Taoist / Buddhist point of view, if one can just let it go and don't think about justice, then, the pain will go away. No matter what the situation is, one always keep one's poise and emotionless. Just treat like it is none of your business. One cannot change whatever had been happened already and can't do anything about it, then, just let it go. That is what cultivation of the mind was all about. Perhaps, this is not something that a normal person can handle. Peace! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If, however, the astral or mental attack continues, it may be necessary to take action. The simplest is taking the incoming energy lines and dropping them into the Earth. The next layer of defense is building a light body imitation of oneself and attaching the incoming energy lines to the imitation. Most attackers are not smart enough to understand what is happening, so the target is free. A more assertive alternative is looping the flows around and redirecting them to the source. Mostly such attackers do not see they are attacking themself - and get worn out in a couple of days Edited 4 hours ago by Lairg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though we do not see how or when the justice is administered, the system assures us that it does occur. So that is a source of peace. Our focus though is NOT on the other person, it is on our own self, our own growth, our own development, our own peace of mind, health, and well-being. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So that is a source of peace. Long ago I had a dream that I was in a prison camp. Someone had broken the rules but I was punished not them. I felt that was most unfair. When I awoke I asked about the dream and was told that when a member of a group breaks a rule, it does not matter which in the group is punished. Thus group karma can result in the innocent bearing the pain. Edited 3 hours ago by Lairg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That reminds me: Long ago, it seemed to me (without any analysis) that I did not have any personal karma. I also read that auto accidents are karmic - and I had had a few of those. So I asked in meditation and they replied instantly (no need to look up records) : You will observe that everything that you hit was stationary at the time. That was carelessness not karma. Some years ago a bit north of me, on a divided highway with wide grassed area between the directions, at dusk a vehicle crossed the divide and collided head on with another vehicle, killing both drivers. In the dusk, with headlights on, it is hard to identify oncoming vehicles, so it is surprising that the drivers were father and son Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The common denominator in every problem, obstacle, barrier or situation in my life is: me. I am 100% responsible for how i respond to whatever the situation is. And it is my responsibilitly to deal with it in ways that support my health, vitality and well-being. It is very important to not see myself as a victim, and to not blame others for whatever is going on. Also not to blame myself. Taking responsibility does not mean i caused this or that to happen. It means I am responsible for doing whatever it takes to heal and move forward in my life. Emotional burdens are very heavy. Learning how to dissolve and release them is important for our health. Things may have happened in the past or in other lifetimes which affect me today. But the here and now is where and how I deal with it. Regardless of the origin. It is enough for me to know and trust that "what goes around comes around." I don't need to know or try and identify the specifics and details and point of origin. If others are acting out then they too are on their path, i don't need to know or see how their lessons unfold. Edited 7 minutes ago by BigSkyDiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
