Attacked By Spirit?

I'm not sure if the spirit wants to harm you as such... Maybe he/she wants to get your attention?

Ooooh, that's disturbing lol... Maybe it was maybe it wasn't. It actually reminds me a little of that one Ghost Whisperer episode.

Well, is it true that, if the scratches seem to erase themselves fast, there is a bigger chance they came from a spirit/ghost? If this is true, it might mean you have to check out what happens in the next few weeks, so on, so on. Either way, since you said yourself that you are under a lot of stress and felt... Suffocated as I read your story, trapped... Almost claustrophobic. Be careful please, and try to get rid of some of the negativity going on. It's never good, and negative emotions can only make things worse.

Exellent points Vulpes Vulpes and well put!

I'm buying all of this so far, but I also had a thought!

It won't apply to Finger noses case, but Finger nose, I reckon Vulpes has it tied up, you just got to figure which applies to you!

Peace, Linx

While I agree in principle with Training4Life, as far as the importance of a positive attitude when dealing with the occult, I think that a far more pragmatic view might well be more beneficial in this case, especially as you yourself have made it clear that you had, until this point at least, very little interest in the spirit world.

Now, if we discount any possible 'normal' explanations, then that leaves us with a few occult scenarios which would explain the attack, and each of them is most probably a little more serious than the next. None of them involve vengeful spirits who are in some way blaming you for the way that the will is being handled, so don't worry, in that respect at least the dead seem to hold no grudges, and are more likely to come and tell you to your face, or in dreams, if you are doing a bad job than attack you outright.

The first possible scenario which we have to address is the concept of though forms. This is a tricky one to explain in such a short space, but they are basically deeply rooted psychological desires and needs which seem to break away from your main personality and take on a will of their own. There is every chance that your own self recrimination about the handling of the will has somehow given birth to such a aspect within your personality, and it may have indeed done you harm in a similar 'mind over matter' way as is thought to cause stigmata. It's easy enough to deal with on your own, a positive attitude and less beating yourself up over things that you can't change should prove enough to reabsorb it into your subconscious, and you won't be any the worse for it's existence. Your not mad, so don't worry.

Second, there is the chance that your negative emotions, generated by your perhaps understandable stressing over the will have attracted a low level, possibly negative spirit, looking for a free meal. The spirit world is not separate in a spatial context from the world of the living, it is all around us, invisible to the untrained or ungifted, depending on your point of view. But that don't mean that it is unable to interact with those who grab the interest of the entities, some good, some bad, who inhabit it. In your normal restful state you are just one spark of consciousness among many thousands of thousands, and of little interest to the inhabitants of that purely energy based world. But if you are giving off waves of negative emotion you suddenly become a free lunch, and that's when the problems start. Again, a positive attitude can work here, though if the matters persist I would seek advice from someone who has an interest in such matters, your niece for example, as to their helping you remove said entities permanently.

Finally, the question has to be asked whether someone who is actively seeking the will to go the other way, against the direction you wish for it, has some occult knowledge of their own, and has sent something after you. I know the whole 'psychic attack' thing is not en vogue at the moment, but it does happen, and I have experienced it first hand in the past. If this is the case then it is my solemn advice to either drop your association with the will outright, hoping that it will go away, or seek the help of someone who can personally intercede on your behalf and send the attacks back to their caster. This is pretty nasty magick at the best of times, and not something you should try to deal with on your own.

Be careful, spirits can only hurt you by using your own sorrow against you. Try to release your negative emotions so that they can't use them against you.

If not becoming an executive is going to ruin your whole life, just think how much better off you are than some one living on the streets. It's really hard to change your way of thinking if you always see the glass as half full, but if you have a connection with the paranormal negative and positive energies can becom much stronger. If all the things you ever know are dismal thoughts and feelings, that's all you 'll ever experience. Try having positive affirmations, you might just get that executor position. (But why stop there!? Your only limit is time!) :D
