I'm always under attack

[christian]

It's coming from everywhere; poison in the food and water, mind control through subliminal propaganda and electromagnetic devices, and psychic attacks by a host of negative entities. I figure there's never gonna be a free space with no one attacking me.

Yet I refuse to spend my life focused on my attackers, and I refuse to keep my head down to minimize attacks on me.

I feel the beauty of the dance of life is to move on although I'm being bombarded, to fight on while I'm tumbling, to focus my will to remain the sovereign over my creative power.

I might never win out a hundred percent, but what I hone relentlessly is the ability to stand up time and again for myself and for all that is good, the ability to persevere and make my way.

There are days when I'm less vibrant than on others, but the fight I'm fighting is the same every day. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but all that really matters to me is fighting a good fight and never giving up, using whatever life force is left in me in all of this to do something that says love and freedom. And the only real reason why I choose these is because I like to dance to their tune. There's no moral in it, I just love how it feels.

It's the fire of life burning inside of me. It's the beauty of the dance, making me want to jump into it head-on. It's the depth of the abyss making me grin and say, "Whoever is in there, come at me bro!" And then there shall be a fight, there shall be a dance, and in the end, that's all that matters to me. We all die, but not all of us live.

This is good news, in an odd sort of way.

If the bastards are spending all that effort, in so many ways, to attack you, and you still have the great strengths of mind, body and spirit you have, then those bastards are more impotent or incompetent than I had hoped.

it's getting to the point when they aren't attacking I start wondering what they're up to... :target:

Keep on being you christian !

Your so very strongly aligned.

[Journeyon]

You go Christian! Great message for us all.

[ulli]

Great message, Christian.
I know quite a few people who are like you (and Rocky)
who just ignore all that stuff...
and I'm quickly becoming one of them.
Just carry on, never losing sight of the standards one sets for oneself.

and standards are not fixed beliefs, nor fixed ideas...
they are pointers at direction.

Standards are what they used to call the flags, carried at the front lines of an army on the march.
And the slower guys who were stuck behind a hill could still see the tops of the flags sticking out,
even if all the other soldiers had disappeared from sight.

[ulli]

lol...

it's getting to the point when they aren't attacking I start wondering what they're up to... :target:


Self scrutiny is important, too, in cases like this.
Ask "what are they doing to me, that I'm not getting it in the neck?"

Hey, and since Christian got me to google "high standards"
I came across this, and sharing it, just for the laugh.
Not digging at anyone in particular....

Yep, some people sail on ponds, others go for solitary trips round this world facing roaring 40s and other storms... just hold on that rudder of yours and keep it on course!

[Rocky_Shorz]

This is what they are up to:

One of two things is likely: Either the US dollar will be abandoned and collapse in value, thus ending Washington’s superpower status and Washington’s threat to world peace, or Washington will lead its puppets into military conflict with Russia and China. The outcome of such a war would be far more devastating than the collapse of the US dollar.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-04-10/paul-craig-roberts-dilemma-world-war-or-end-dollar

Only one person I know can intervene, and his options are limited...but in the end things will work out one way or the other.

Sorcha's report today says a Russian agent was tracking a nuke/bioweapon coming in from Lybia. he was captured by CIA, and beaten and dumped in a warehouse. He had built in communications so called 911... they sent out 60 officers on a search, but his communications was jammed... no sign of hem in any of the warehouses...

I guess the CIA is still mad US military didn't come save them in Benghazi...

but attacking America will be the end of the CIA...

that or hand over all agents under Bush's control for prosecution, America is done with these games...

Chicago target to hurt Obama?

at least we have only 4 days to wait to see what happens...

[Tesla_WTC_Solution]

It's easier to ignore TPTB when we turn the TV OFF.
Also it's harder for them to send sublims.

At least, in my limited and terrifying experience.

Sorcha - please ignore - a disinfo agent. All of these years and 'we' still take notice of Sorcha!!! A CIA schill.

[Sidney]

I was told by a very wise friend a couple days ago, when explaining the very woes that you describe here, "Know, with each attack, that it's a backhanded compliment, and they are so incredibly threatened by us, that they have to stoop to the level of psychic/electronic abuse".
They would not spend so much time and energy on something that is not a threat to their system. They are true cowards, in every sense of the word, and you are more powerful than anyone knows. Carry that torch with pride my friend. You have earned it!!

[greybeard]

Reading "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle got me out of attacks.
I had to read it quite a few time to get it.
I have to say it made an enormous difference in my life.
All kinds of fears have dissipated.
I now find it difficult to take things, including myself, too seriously.

the art of discernment my friend, most of their reports are worthless, but recently, spot on sharing info...


and to add reason to look closer...

they tracked me visiting Sorcha's site, watched what I wrote and bombarded Avalon's server with an attack hoping to knock out my post...

I don't share what I don't feel is important...

so an ex agent is sharing info online...

don't we look for whistle blowers to share what they know for us to decide if there is any truth behind it?

of course I see truth in Ben's reports too...

Is that why the server was down a little while ago? Because I couldn't get in for about a half hour.

[Rocky_Shorz]

the story schmoopie was quoting came from Sorcha in the first place...

the alt community rewrites Sorcha's reports all the time, I post Sorcha and suddenly everyone balks at the info...

I'd rather be reading the source, where I can tap into the mind of the author for additional info...

can any of it be confirmed?

"New findings support authenticity of 911 caller claiming to be kidnapped Russian soldier trapped in Detroit warehouse... "


DETROIT, MI -- The mysterious 911 call Detroit police received Tuesday sounds like the plot for a Quentin Tarantino film.

A man with a Russian accent called 911 twice Tuesday morning. He sounded distressed, police say. He said he'd been kidnapped, stabbed and was being held captive in an abandoned Detroit warehouse. Trying to help the dispatcher locate him, the man mentioned a river and street names that could have been Jefferson and Chene.

Police say the caller claimed to be a Russian soldier on vacation in Detroit. And he called from a Russian phone number, Detroit Police Chief James Craig revealed Wednesday.

What occurred after the call was an epic manhunt. As many as 60 law enforcers from the Detroit Police Department and partner agencies spent the next 10 hours searching 35 warehouses from the former Packard plant south to the Detroit River.

The search was called off Tuesday night, but Craig said the investigation is still pending.

It's unclear if it was a hoax, or real.

"I'm not going to give you a final call on it because I don't know," Craig said. "We treated it as a serious situation." link (http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2014/04/police_confirm_detroit_911_cal.html)

we have a lot of attention from what we shared on flight 370 here on Avalon...

with this many planes in the air, a Boeing 777 disappeared? Puleeease... I haven't had enough Floride for that one to work...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D9Nnxt0D_I

so what if Sorcha was right and the suspicious cargo was flown back to New Mexico to be exploded

what if their were 2 bombs...

if Russia was tracking the first one, why not track the second...

they don't want a nuke going off that can be blamed on them...

the word is important enough to share across the net so other agencies swing their attention to a possible false flag coming over the next few weeks...

the Blood moon is a sign to Israel, the next change is about to happen to the Holy Lands...

a 4 blood moon cycle that starts on the eve of the 14th III Days

so if my attention is suddenly directed to everyone involved in these plots, forgive me for sounding distant, but I am searching out every lead...

[Dawn]

Hi Christian, I hope to post something positive for you here. I want to tell you that I went through about 7 years of what you are describing. Some of my threads on Avalon look at that time with a WTF was that attitude.

What is important here is to tell you that the attacks are reduced by about 95% or so now. I have wondered how/why the attacks? And I have looked at how/why these aren't here anymore. Perhaps I've discovered some of why they are not happening... and perhaps it was just time for them to go. I suspect it is this way..... when I was through with them I made the changes which caused them to leave my life.

Here are the changes:

Rule 1: What I experience in my life depends on where I am living. This was the strangest realization for me!!!!

The longer I live in a place, the more its effects multiply in my life. I thought this realization was unique and known only to those who traveled homeless across the land. When I became homeless for a short time, or when I traveled, I noticed that my personality changed depending on where I was staying. When I checked with some of my friends who live the lives of traveling monks, I found they all knew this rule clearly.

Then I ran into the discipline of Vaastu and ... here was a 1000s of years old information stream which talked about this chapter and verse. I've been told by someone here on Avalon that some books are considered more authentic, but I like the simple primer, Victory Through Vaastu, that helped me to understand what this is about. You can still buy it, and it will help you look at your living situation: http://www.amazon.com/Victory-Through-Vaastu-Transforming-Architecture/dp/0974887439/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397239487&sr=8-1&keywords=victory+through+vaastu

Just to let you know, some properties are known as highways for demonic energies and demonic attacks. I used to live in one of these for 2 years. When I stepped 1" (!) out of the boundary line of this property all attack stopped instantly! The author of Victory through Vaastu postulates that the MAIN reason we are suffering during our current epoch is the failure to abide by the rules of Vaastu... I agree with this statement.

Rule #2: The people you are in relation to will effect your life patterns. If you are living with people who are dark, you can end up being effected by some of their energy patterns. If this is a neighbor in the same building, or a bar attached to your building, this will still have an effect. There are some things you can do for protection... but mainly you just need to move (or move them out of your life)

Rule #3: Do some simple things to build up your own body electric and pranic structure. There are many discussions here on Avalon. And a lot of these work to some extent, while some won't for you. Here is a very short list of the ones that actually DO work for me:
a) Wands of Horus (in fact these will strengthen your field to the point where you will become a healing influence just by being near other people
b) Pulsing orgone machines. I like the ones made by Karl Welz, which you can find on the internet. These actually feed life force to your body
c) Burn sage in your home whenever you notice attack of any type (this will be a lot easier once the number of these slow down)
d) Crystals that are 'pinched' in a small wood working clamp at your entry door will keep strange energies from coming into your home. When anyone enters they walk through an invisible current of piezoelectric energy... strange entities can't enter intact so they are cleaned off. This really works in my home.
e) Keep your energy channels open and flowing! Find a healing modality that works for you, and that you can do on yourself. This can be yoga, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Tai Chi... and some types of meditation can also help you do this. It isn't difficult and will take about 30min-1 hour daily to remain in top shape.


Rule #4: spend some time sitting or walking directly on the earth every day. With all our rubber shoes and beds which are not touching the earth, we don't get enough of this to create health in our bodies. Sometimes just this simple thing can change everything within 15-30 minutes

Rule #5: Be willing to change your life. When all is said and done, you will likely have to move, perhaps change the people in your life, and maybe change jobs. Once you do this, it is likely that most attacks will stop.

I am sending you warm thoughts of balance and caring. And I am in hopes that this message is able to get through all of the imbalanced energies which currently surround and torture you.

[Rocky_Shorz]

another hint, now that many of all your senses are opening up, Spirits that surround us won't bother you living on a second floor, for some reason, they are all grounded.

I know in shows you always hear creaks in the attic, but moving my seer to a 2nd floor location suddenly all of her night visitors stopped...


what floor do you live on Christian?

[Milneman]

There is also this radical, magical idea....

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

[christian]

Thanks a lot for the replies! :)

The thing is, the attacks that I've mentioned are attacks that virtually everybody is experiencing to some degree, simply because the agents I described are virtually everywhere. But whatever the degree is, the attitude to successfully cope with them is essentially the same in any case, that's what I wanted to share. I know a lot of people on Avalon are suffering from psychic and other attacks. People who see me would generally say that I'm doing quite well and seem to be happy and healthy. However, that doesn't mean that I'm less under attack than someone who seems to be worse off.

The difference, the way I see it, would be the discipline, determination, and alacrity that is employed. And that is often very subtle actually. When I perceive an attack coming my way, I usually feel like Neo in the Matrix when he jumps into the agent. I just merge with the attacker, or with the problem, focus on love and my own eternal integrity, and then keep the focus. Then I go through all kinds of processes intuitively, fighting a good fight relentlessly and coming to a place where the fight eventually becomes an embrace and then a release.


SdkdQtlF-RU
I have found a very good description of this in the Dao De Jing:






Act without doing;
work without effort.
Think of the small as large
and the few as many.
Confront the difficult
while it is still easy;
accomplish the great task
by a series of small acts.

The Master never reaches for the great;
thus she achieves greatness.
When she runs into a difficulty,
she stops and gives herself to it.
She doesn't cling to her own comfort;
thus problems are no problem for her.


I refuse to take a victim stance in all of this. Conflict is always going on, that's just what it is, my freedom is in choosing how I act in all of this. I don't feel that freedom will ever be something like no one and nothing will ever come at me.

I really just wanted to share my way of dealing with attacks with you. I don't think there is a way to stop attacks, yet there is a way to empower oneself to a point where most attacks against one are being foiled before they even commence. In a way, I do feel like I'm fighting off attacks incessantly, yet it's something that doesn't consume me, it's more like an active and conscious shield that is part of me, a peripheral awareness that I listen to all the time and allow it to help guide me.

I found this idea described quite well in The Art of War:






To lift an autumn hair is no sign of great strength; to see the sun and moon is no sign of sharp sight; to hear the noise of thunder is no sign of a quick ear.

What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.

Hence his victories bring him neither reputation for wisdom nor credit for courage.

Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.

The consummate leader cultivates the moral law, and strictly adheres to method and discipline; thus it is in his power to control success.

Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.


Rocky, I live on the third floor / the attic. I actually like where I'm living a lot, there's a lot of really good energy here. Yet, this doesn't mean I'm not vigilant here. I feel that if I take my guard down and become negligent, malevolent entities would creep in. That's just the nature of the game, really...

[Rocky_Shorz]

well not being afraid of anything coming at you is key, you can brush it off as a gnat, or hack back to find out who it is...

it's like a premonition window opening looking through another's eyes, take a look around to see what you can find...

you think it freaks out a nOOb, the first time they feel attacked, wait until you see the expression of one who knows what is happening without a dang thing they can do about it...

have fun, standing together we are protected...

Yes.

Being in the present moment protects you, well I use the word "protects" here in a bit different way than it sounds.


Attack comes along the conduits of (again - not exactly but for my example this works) of judgement, fear, uncertainty, thinking of the past, worrying about the future, and normal verbal thoughts. When I address these things in myself, my attacks stop. Sometimes it's hard to remember how much control over them there is, but it has to come from changing yourself so you are no longer "attack-able"

My 2 cents if it had any worth ;)

If I wanted to call a meeting just before the blood moon for everyone to gather, can it be arranged?


it's 11PM on a Monday so middle of the night for most of my power weilding friends, but it might be that important, those meant to be there will wake, the others will join through their dreams...

I'm calling for a collective of the gifted, to weave the future of our world...

[Beren]

Time is here when we peer through,
the doors of our self
windows of eternity.

Shining Love which we did not know
turns to be our very heart
and our precious soul.

It is called birth pangs...
Though I feel more like washing in
and through divine light.

Keep the faith, these were the words.
Of all those brave souls sending us aid,
and now we know.

To be now,
To be Love.

[DeDukshyn]

Perhaps you are avoiding something .. mistaking it as a "victim stance"?

I see only conflict in what you perceive (although it is subtle -- and of course only based from a few posts). You cannot perceive the possibility of "victim" without perceiving "conflict" - whether it is there or not. With just trying to give you a consideration you may be overlooking, perhaps what some are saying here as their "advice" or "solution" can only be properly seen for what they are with the eradication of the conflict perception. It is the conflict perception you want to rid ... correct?

Always remember there a million ways to perceive things and each of those can result in any emotional response from bliss to depression. Which one is right? The one that you create that doesn't hurt you.

Some people see this response as "weak" or "victim" -- but let's give it some thought. Do you make better decisions when pissed off and feel under attack? Or when you are feeling in a state of happiness, love and joy? And do not the slections or decision you make daily determine the "quality"?

Think of it as an equation =) do the math and apply it in action.

Easier said than done ... stop thinking. when you find yourself thinking, take a breath and perform an action. keep repeating. find yourself in this. I know you already know all this ... I am just trying to be a reminder. ;)

Good "luck"! Just trying to make you think a little :)

My 2 cents if it had any worth ;)

From my perspective as an observer here for the last 3 years, I'd say it most certainly does !

Christian, you clearly do your best to walk your talk and, like most people, feel yourself being attacked on a regular basis. The only thing I'd add to what others have said is that the attack doesn't always come from "them". Be aware (you probably are) that you have your own internal saboteur who really doesn't want you to be fully conscious and free. He's an illusive, slippery bastard who will do his very best to hide from your awareness and to only show himself with whatever energetic signature you personally find the least suspicious. If I ever succeed in nailing mine, I'll let you know !!

I agree with this version of reality, having observed it many times in myself.
As long as we are in a body, our own system with it's survival instinct will play games with us,
in our desire to improve our lives and strive for our highest potential.

The various outer manifestations on the screen of our lives then tell us who we really are, deep down,
since they are mirror images of the subconscious self.

Our enemies reveal to us the level at which we have arrived,
so that we can then know how to proceed
from any given Here And Now moment.

I've always found that folks who start activating their third eye are often plagued by this sort of thing. It is the age old adage "where your attention goes, so is where your energy goes", and unfortunately for someone who is activating ordinarily atrophied organs of perception, you are now capable of seeing these (fourth dimensional) folks so they are now more capable of getting energy from you.

Regardless if you call them dead or demonic, they are still outside the natural order of creation.
They are attempting to circumvent their place in the reincarnational order, I suppose they are free to do that, but doing so cuts them off from the breath of God, and or energy, so they must steal it.

I"ll share a secret with you.
The first few years for me were so bad, I constructed a small cave in my room.
Cinderblock walls and a roof made of plywood covered with granite tiles. It worked marvelously and allowed me to sleep unmolested.

It has always been my experience that fourth D folks can pass through solid matter, but the denser the matter the more discomfort for them, and more importantly the more it robs them of the human energy and or chi they have stolen from people. Dense material causes ghosts to lose chi and or energy. You can notice this by seeing they use the same places over and over again in your walls and roof. These places are lubricated so to speak by the chi and or energy they have already left behind. I think some folks mistake these places for portals or what not, but I think they are not different than doorways you or i would use, except the door frame for these folks is chi or energy already left behind.


I started a pretty deep thread on the subject here. Parasitic Non-Organic Multidimensional Beings (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?21614-Parasitic-Non-Organic-Multidimensional-Beings)

Folks including myself talk about going through the same thing, and methods that helped them through it.

I have got to say I can relate with this as well.
I know we are in the rabbit hole and all, and it seems that TPTB hope to keep us fractured as a whole and a community by keeping us focusing on our differences rather than our commonalities. I say this because there are times I feel that Avalon and the portal we view Avalon on in our homes is indeed being used to attack folks through screen frequency and possible subliminal messaging.

It's ussually irrational paranoia and or fear that results. As for myself when this happens I unfortunatly feel I do have to unplug from Avalon for a while.

If this is what is intended then these folks are getting the desired results.
We all do have to watch out for ourselves and keep the goal in mind.
Even if we have to take a break from that goal now and then.
