I believe the law of attraction CAN be used to attract specific things. With a level of mental and emotional focus that is difficult for mortal men and women to maintain. But I believe it's ultimate purpose is to attract specific conditions upon which you build your own experience. Not necessarily a Lamborghini.

Happy, joyous people get happy joyous experiences.

Depressed, angry people get generally negative experiences.

People who are both, like most of us, get a mixed bag of experiences.

Then when your condition cauldron bubbling, you create in that specific cauldron, your specific life.

So strive to create a cauldron of the best, happiest most joyous feelings you can. Then the experiences that follow will be congruent with that.

If you get down or feeling negative, just figure out ways to change that back around. When you realize how important it is, it's a lot easier to get back there.

Good advice and I believe this, too. But what about psychic attacks? I'll give you a mini example. I'm relatively outgoing and I like making friends with people. As I mentioned in my intial post I was taught to respect all people and that means to see everyone as equal to myself. So as I said I like to make friends, I'm educated and in shape, and considered very attractive. Yet the town I live in is not so incredibly large and there are social hangouts that are frequented by a lot of people.

I have had this experience happen to me on many occassions. I will be talking to someone and then later they will feel embarrassed or something (and it's not because of the things I say or the way I behave). The thing is that in that same place is an individual who glares at me often, and I heard very recently was telling people misinformation about me. When I come into a room, that person glares, will rush up and say something or whisper to other people about me. It is not my imagination. Moreover I am not able to relocate at the moment but I do spend my time in other places in town But the town is not large so there are a limited number of places to associate. Also, you want to meet people who share your interests, and you should attract the same. And intially it works, but that individual I mentioned has influenced other people and now even when I walk into that social setting or another one, (and these are not bars), people who don't know me will talk to me. But later they will not.

I think positive thoughts but I have felt at times sudden fatigue. And I workout regularly-I'm an athlete-so this is not a health issue. I've also felt uneasiness at certian times when I wake up. Often times I'm cheerful but at other times I feel some uneasiness. And it's the same uneasiness that I sense when that peson is around. She's much older than I am and has a son who happens to go to the same social hangout. To tell you the truth it's a place for young people to hang out, meet, etc. It's not a bar and it is in a campus town.

I have read that people can be subject to psychic attacks. The sad thing about it is that even when you are minding your own business and talk to other people-even those who resent you- the darkness from those keeps coming. And what I heard last week from a woman who I was talking to who said that she had spoken to that older woman is disturbing. For a long time I had suspected that she was telling people negative things about me. And in casual conversation-initiated by a semi stranger-revealed something. The older woman has been telling people negative things about me. She says that I'm immoral and only want certain things. That is not true. The thing is that I live my life to treat others the way I wish to be treated so why would she say it? And why do people want to believe a lie over the truth?

In sociology (or life experience) people tend to believe a lie over the truth. It's not right. I've wondered why that older woman has been doing these things, why does she, her husband and even the director of the place have ill will towards me. And here's where much of the resentment comes from: I can easily approach people and start up a conversation with them. I'm able to talk to and hold attention from several people at one time. Often times women will be quite relaxed around me and very happy. One day, that woman's son was exiting a coffee shop with a woman who hangs out at the social club. The woman used to talk to me and a friend of mine. The older woman to tell you the truth-wants to marry her son off. So she got together with the director of that center and attempted to match the woman and her son up-EVEN though the woman (a 20 something student) had already shown no interest at all.

So they told her to tutor the older woman's son, and she did so. But one day she was exiting a coffee shop and I just happened to be there waiting for a friend. She ran to where I was and immediately started talking to me. Then the guy comes out and glares at us and walks on. The woman didn't mention him. I then asked how she had been. She said she had been tutoring the guy. I asked how it was going but she didn't want to talk about it.

Later, though, when I would go to the student club, his mother would pull people aside and glare at me. Then people who I would talk to would suddenly stop. She would come up to the table and ask if they wanted anyything to eat, etc. She's been doing that for a long time. And she will also come up interrupting conversations to ask people if they had gotten her email. It might sound comical but it's not. She and the director share email information about the people who stop in there. And that is how they got that woman's email to begin with (b/c only the director had it).

Then a while later the woman and I were playing pool. Actually I was playing with some guys and she was watching and cheering me on. Later she asked me to teach her how to play. Then that older woman's son cam in and tried to get her to leave with him. She refused. So he stood sulking. Later he told her she need to go somewhere to see something he had wanted her to see. She apologized to me and left. Then the next week she came in and we started to play pool and the guy walked in and told her he wanted to talk to her, asked her to take his picture. She said that she was playing pool and looked nervously at me. I smiled to him but he rushed to his mother and they were glaring. I could feel it. And the woman stumbled.

But later she began to avoid me and now only talks to the guy and his mother. The guy's mother will buy thee woman things to get her to talk to her son. There have been other instances like that. Later I was playing with some friends and the director was talking to the father of that guy and then they said no one could use the game room.

What's sad is that the club's mission statement is that it is a place that promotes friendships between different people and the majority of the people who go there are college students, or people associated with it. But what the mission statement is and what they practice are two different things. People tend to talk to me more readily than they do the others in there (and the director is young, too, in his mid 30s) and they don't like it. Especially when women talk to me.

I have a right to go there, though because I do have some friends who go there. Some who say they will only show up because I'm there. So I go because I like making friends. But the town is small and the campus is large but a lot of the people... well you know about 6 degrees of separation. And they are telling people negative things about me.

Even though I keep positive, it does hurt. And negative images do come into my own head, I begin to think about why they are doing this to me. Why do they resent me? Even when I greet them, ask how they're doing they glare at me. Or will openly attempt to get people to stop talking to me. So that is spreading around to people who go there. And as I said, I feel that hatred. I'm tired of it because life is not meant to be this way.

It's fine to live my own life but when people are blatantly trying to sabotage my life that is wrong. And what they say is defaming. I can tell that they're not happy yet they look to me as a scapegoat. I did take some time off from there but I do have friends who stop by that place on occassion-people I met there- who only come back because of me.

So what can be done to fend off their psychic attacks? I'm human. So when I'm sad, I will have sad energy and that attacts more of the same. That darkness from those people is spreading, too. "Bless those who curse you" is not that simple, their hatred flares up all the more.

Surely there are some on this board who know what I'm talking about. I'm a man who works hard to be where I am, to have gotten into this school, to be a positive person, I've worked hard to be in good physical shape. Yet they resent it at that place and-to truth-that place has influence over a lot of the young people in town because people talk to people, talk to people, ...

I treat people as I wish to be treated. And I look forward to things being well but when I greet their resentment with friendly smiles or goodwill I receive more resentment, hatred and dark energy. What do you suggest? And I will not leave that place because I do have a right to be there. And I have hope that not all people who go there will be influenced by the ill will and resentment of that guy's family and the director. It's that faith that also motivates me to go back, because not all people can be evil or be taken in by it.
