Defensive aggression

[Anonymous]

the best way to prepare for something like this and still be in the right is to build up your energy as much as possible- that's your ammunition. Whoever has the most energy is sure to win.

Pre-emptive strikes are something the Bush administration does (learn what NOT to do by watching them). You should never attack someone preemptively because you don't know who they are working with or how powerful they are.

Another tactic you could try is distracting them with a great deal of good jokes, or doing something that will get you on their good side without becoming like them or surrendering to them in some way.

Your description of this sounds like a demon or a couple of them, sending out these vibes, working together to try to get you and this other person fighting. I could be wrong, but this scenario happens a lot.

A pre-emptive strike is sure to spark a painful war, not a quick victory. I mean, what are you going to do, kill the person? You make karma with people by doing stuff like this. And it's not a path to peace and happiness.

Actively confront the other person as a brother who cares and has no animosity. Engage him in friendly conversation; take him to lunch, etc. In his presence, it's a lot harder to demonize or imagine the worst about him. This works both ways.

I've been exactly where you are (I think) and this is what I did. You want to break the revolving thought within yourself and also the other guy that there is bad blood or a reason to attack.

Sometimes that kind of hostile tension - if due to prejudice, misconceptions, groundless suspicion etc., can be defused by actually getting to know each other ... but I don't think that always works because some people's hostility hcan be due to totally screwy reasons or just plain paranoia.  Also tension can arise because two people both have ... call them "aggressive vibes"?? On the same kind of frequency?? So they become too aware of each other and somehow "latch onto each other" at that level??
So alternatively, if possible, I think it might be a good idea to try to decrease the tension by just "stepping back", staying out of each other's way and consciously avoiding letting your mind dwell on the person you think wants to attack you... while at the same time raising and maintaining your general psychic defences in the form of a strong shield, made with the "command" that any attacks will rebound back to their sender.

Hello Arc
  Learn about shields and wards. It has been a subject on this forum in the past and there are articles on the website. You then do not need to worry about who is attacking you because you will be protected from all harm.
  Wards can be semi precious gemstones in jewlery. Herbal wards from oils, or many other things. The important thing is to pray over them to give them a purpose and then use them all of the time.

Defensive attack?  If you attack before someone attacks you, then how can you be defending yourself against something they haven't done?  If you attack after being attacked then you could consider it protecting, and perhaps that would be defensive attack.  But either you are defending or you are attacking, how can you be doing both at the same time?  You can attack to protect... but not defend.  Only by being attacked can one defend, and only when attacking are you no longer defending.  No good can come of it.  War is made but such behavior.  I say just have a beer!

no, no that's not what I meant. I'm not being attacked by anyone. I'm just checking to see if anyone approves of it in case someone else was in that situation.

Oh, sorry.  Well, guess maybe it depends on the situation.  If I knew my family was going to be harmed then I would try to prevent it before it happened.  If I heard that someone wanted to beat me up, I'd probably just let it go.

you know how Rome considered themselves, Defensive-Aggressionists? They would attack a neighbor, because they thought that the neighbor would attack them, like a pre-emptive attack. Do you think this would work, if you believe someone is going to psychically attack you, or you have suspicions that they might(like you have sensed bad vibes from them a lot, etc)
It might not be morally right(in case they don't attack, or they deny it[liars]), but would it work?
