psychic attack through the internet

[pyro4571]

i think that it is possible to steal energy or attack someone psychically over the net. mostly it is unintentional, but i have heard of some people being able to do it. not sure how though

a good enough human attacker can attack you via even a small inkling of your essence.

of course, they'd need some way to find that essence and just going to a website isn't usually good enough (except MAYBE in the case of have a REALLY specialized tracker who is hunting a specific signature and who is using very specific techniques) because there is such a high volume of traffic on most websites that it's like looking for fingerprints on money ^_^ you *might* be able to pick up on the last person or two who "touched" the website, but even then there's still likely a lot of residual essence from other people who have also visited recently.

HOWEVER, if they find out your screen name or they talk to you in person, that's another story. to communicate with a person "directly" is a not-too-difficult way to pick up on their essence, even if it's via something as impersonal as forums. (to "put some of yourself into something" as it were, with regards to your "identity" on the net/web.)

however, before people go out fearmongering, it's not commonplace to be attacked psychicly over internet forums, ESPECIALLY if you are new to this stuff and you aren't going around bragging about yourself. if you are still afraid, keep yourself lowkey: don't tell any personal details, don't make fusses, just make your statement or ask your question and waste no space with irrelevancy.

imo though, fearmongering about psychic attacks is about as bad as going to a bar and thinking that everyone there is out to rape you, it's called paranoia []. sure maybe one or two sickos there might be wanting to rape someone, but there's lots of people out there and you are only one person (so again, don't attract attention to yourself) and there are defense techniques which you can learn fairly easily (and even if they are "weak" compared to what a fullfledged metaphysicist could pull off, they are not ineffective).

so in conclusion: yes it's possible to be psychicly attacked over the internet, but unless you are actively making yourself incredibly appetizing to an attacker you've probably got nothing to worry about []

hm.. very interesting thanks for that reply I remember something in the post I said I couldn't find about it being possible for someone to set up a site to sort of indescriminately collect energy for them. what do you think about that?

don't know. i would /guess/ that someone with enough skill and an affinity for computerized things may be able to do it. but i've not heard about it before ^_^

Well it's quite easy to put messages on peoples computers which are in a way marking them ... as an example you can have a random "cookie blessing" placed on your computer here http://www.sbwave.com/bless and you can verify it is on your computer by looking for "bless" in the cookies directoy. An evil person could certainly put less pleasant things on someones computer if they wished.

hm.. interesting. Now that I think about it, I have noticed negativity issues toward the computer after going to some of the not so friendly sites I've come across. Usually when this happens I run back to what I call my internet home (the official messegeboard for my favorite singer where I have lots of friends and I know there are nice people). anyways, I also read that blessing or praying over your computer before you log on might help with any issues someone might be having. What do you guys know about that? I was thinking it might be able to help me a bit with my problems with spyware, viruses, ect. (in addition to my firewall and stuff of course) thanks

Lately I have become interested in security ect. online as I recently had a problem with a virus. This got me thinking about a post I read the last time I was here about the possibility of being psychicly attacked through the internet. I can't seem to find it (if it got deleted I apologize for bringing it up again) so I figured I'd ask. Does anyone know if it's possible to be attacked by simply going to a website, or by someone you've met on a forum? I don't think this is happening to me or anything, I'm just curious. Thanks
