Many Light-workers consider themselves as spiritual warriors. They see the darkness, they spot the enemy, charge in with their shield and sword, strike it down, and the day is saved.
The enemy is vanquished by taking a stand and defeating the darkness, hopefully for good.
The day is saved and all is well.
Right?
Wrong!
In actual fact, attacking what we perceive to be evil, dark, and negative is possibly the worst thing you can do.
In fact, all you are doing is empowering and enabling those things.
It’s like fighting a fire by throwing fuel on it and then wondering why it’s growing stronger, rather than going out.
It is also the very opposite of what a Light-worker actually does and what they stand for.
You cannot change the energy of something by feeding it the same thing it feeds on. You have to introduce something else.
As mentioned, I spent a good part of my life under psychic attacks, and up to the age of 20, I was fighting a daily, but losing battle.
At the time, it didn’t really occur to me that this wasn’t normal. It was just something I just had to put up with in my everyday life.
I’ve faced down a lot of attacks over the years, but this type of attack was different to the ones that came later.
It’s hard to describe what it was like. Best I can do was that it was an overwhelming, clawing sensation in my mind. The pain was more mental and psychic, than physical, but it was there, it was strong, and it was unmistakable. I felt that if I gave in, I would lose myself, or possibly go mad. (It was only many, many years later that I understood what was actually going on there.)
I didn’t tell many people about it, but those I did pretty much told me that it was the devil trying to take my soul, and that I needed to resist and ask God for help.
It was actually pretty useless advice, because it only helped in the moment, and the moment I took my focus away from asking for help, the attacks would return just as strong.
But I had nothing else to go on. There was no information out there, and even those who were supposed to be psychic and knowledgeable were completely clueless.
So for many years, I was determined to beat old Satan, and I would ceaseless fight him, and attack back, while avoiding any references to his name, lest it draw him and give him power.
Needless to say, the battle did not go well.
It was a silent, private, daily battle that I was surely losing. Yet the thought of giving in or even losing was, to me, unthinkable.
Each day, little by little, the attack would become stronger and I knew something would have to give, though I did not know what would happen to me if I gave in.
Then, one day, in 1984, I was at lunch when I suddenly found myself reasoning that I had spent years fighting this thing, with no success, and it appeared that my hate and anger was making it stronger. If that was the case, then maybe sending it love and peace would help.
So I sent out a message that whatever was attacking me could join me, as long as it was in in peace and harmony. I also sent it thoughts of love instead of anger.
It was in that instant, the attacks ceased completely. It was as though someone had flicked a switch. They say that what you resist persists, and what you make your own disappears, and this was certainly the case here.
My life changed from that day onwards.
The biggest lesson, which I carry with me to this day, was that the only way to overcome such attacks is to not engage them and be of a higher and loving energy.
Bless them, send them love and light. Give them peaceful thoughts. Be compassionate because those who are attacking know not what they do.
Over the years, I’ve come across many attacks: Some on me and some on others. The ones on me have been more a nuisance factor than any series danger or problem. I’ve always come out of it better and stronger for it. (Though, to be fair, there were some close calls, but the answer was always given to me on how to overcome them, which may not have been the case if I had just attacked back.)
What has amazed me is that nearly every time I come across someone under attack, their method of dealing with it is to attack back, and with as much hatred and force as they can muster. They also tend to pull the ‘victim / poor me’ card, which also doesn’t help anything.
Psychic attacks do happen, and there are a number of ways to counter them, but never, EVER, attack back. Never give the source any more energy to attack you with.
