Retaliation

When life seems to be going all wrong and bad things happen to us, it is easy to say, “Someone is doing things to me. I’ve been cursed.” Then we feel justified in doing bad things to other people in retaliation. The problem is, rarely, if ever, are we correct in our assumptions. Most people are too busy in their lives to care about putting bad mojo into ours. Maybe our feelings of having been cursed stem from wanting so much to matter to someone, that we make ourselves important enough to be the recipient of the time and effort needed to put a hex or curse on us. The problem is, we usually are not so important to that person, either as a friend, or an enemy.




What is the better way to deal with such a situation? First, take a good look at the way you do the business of your life. Do you have an addiction? Do you feel victimized by the behaviour of those close to you? Are you mean-spirited in general? If you answered “yes” to any of these, then your first order of business is to clean house. I don’t mean vacuuming and dusting, rather, cleanse your chakras, get into balance, and accept the responsibility for your own interactions. No one makes you act in a certain way. That’s on you. So the only person who can do anything about it is you. Fix it. Take classes, meditate, go to AA, do something to show that you understand that you are in charge of your own life, not the people who actually might be your friends if you’d let them.
Second, talk to the person/persons who you feel are out to get you. Tell them what you’ve been thinking and why. Be honest. Most people will be forthcoming that you haven’t been hexed or cursed, and that they have been too busy to think about you. By the time the conversation is over, you would have healed a friendship and probably will laugh about what you thought was an imposition.

Third, spend some time deepening your Spirituality. When you meditate and spend time with deity, you have little time yourself to worry about what someone might be doing to you. You feel more successful, more complete, more competent. Give thanks to the Source of All Things and keep the bridges from burning.
By looking at yourself, talking to others, and strengthening the Spiritual bond, you can rid yourself of the negativity that you feel others are sending your way.

May you be richly blessed.
