People on the planet obviously feel a need to pull other people down and hurt them. When I made my contract to come here not sure I was expecting this!
With whom did you make this contract?
If you enjoy making people fear you, then your soul has problems for the future - which may, indeed, be what others mean when they say 'karma'.
Look at why you feel the need to hit back - from what you say it seems to be a combination of distress at things that have happened (that you have interpreted as directed at you) and fear that more will happen. I would say that these are the main reasons that the situation arose in the first place. The others are probably reacting to life in the same way as you are.
My suggestions that you try to understand are because then you will find it easier to let the hurt slip past you. All cutting yourself off achieves is just that - disconnection (and bitterness).
Thanx Crowan yeah I agree with that. Fear will attract more of the same. I think I've realised some of my patterns now and have mostly worked through them.
I don't personally like people fearing me as I like to float about and I want people to like me - it just seems that if I did do that people might not attack me in the first place.
I've noticed in our society we do a lot of disciplining especially to younger people like parents to their children and authority figures and bosses who like people to fear them so they can keep everyone under their control.
The misunderstanding I mentioned earlier - the person could be classed as an authority figure and he gave the impression whilst first meeting that he wanted people to be intimidated by him and that he was more powerful. Or that's what it seemed like - only my interpretation so maybe I'm wrong.
when I snapped back slightly because I thought I will not be intimidated by people he looked fearful of me. Not sure if his style works on all people - maybe it does most of the time.
In some ways though I think it is good to fire things back at people, serves them right. I don't it think solves anything ultimately though. Also people don't tend to pick on others they are afraid of. Might be good to give them that feeling so they learn to back off. But that's probably a waste of energies plus too much effort.
I believe in Karma and I also believe that it follows us from one life to the next. I'm not sure if what you are experiencing has anything to do with your past lives. Have you ever considered doing a past life regression therapy. You can read about it here and see if it sounds interesting to you https://pastliferegressionqhht.com/
Wow just stumbled across this. Yes I am aware of it and yes I have explored.
Love I think you are spot on <3
It can be traumatising though.
I would not advise past life regression. You are right, Poppy-summer, it can be very traumatic. One of the problems is that most therapists offering regression don't think anything can go wrong, and don't know what to do if it does.
After all, we forget past lives for good reasons.
If you have a problem concerning a past life, it is safer to deal with it Shamanically.
In 30 years of shamanism, I have never seen evidence of 'karma' in the true sense. Of course, many people use the word to mean something more akin to 'consequences'.
