Let's take a look now at four causes of obsession, whereby we will also see how vibrational
affinities and moral deficiencies factor into these different causes.
Moral Deficiencies
This cause is a
direct result of the law of moral affinity, by which we attract the company of
others, both incarnate and discarnate, whose ideas and inclinations are similar
to our own. For example, a person who thinks and acts out of weaknesses such as
pride, envy, greed, hate, etc., just as one who engages in unhealthy behaviors
like the abuse of alcohol, drugs, even food, promiscuous and/or abusive sexual
activity, intentional mistreatment of others, etc., will, by natural law, attract
spiritual companions of a similar nature, who take pleasure in witnessing the
actions of such an individual, and who even "feed" off the energy
that such a person emanates. Moreover, when the cultivation of such inferior
sentiments and behaviors is habitual, the person then steadily maintains the same vibrational frequency as his disturbed and inferior spiritual companion, who is
thus able to lock into a strong mental and energetic connection with him or
her.
From there, the
toxic influence begins, through which the obsessing spirit takes advantage of
that person's negative tendencies and encourages in him or her even more of the
same, which only leads to the victim’s greater emotional and spiritual
imbalance, in addition to making it hard for that person, once a strong union
is developed, to put an end to the unhealthy ways, even when he or she desires
to do
so.
In another
example, we can see how the vibrational frequency of an individual may even
lead to such a "parasitic" relationship with an unhappy spirit, who
may even unintentionally and/or unconsciously influence the incarnate spirit.
We've all heard the expression, "Misery loves company." A person who
is mentally fixed on pessimistic ideas or other self-disruptive thoughts and
sentiments of many different kinds, may also draw to him an unhappy spirit who
shares in his sentiments and who, like a magnet becomes "attached" to
him, which, as in the first example, will only exacerbate the person's
emotional turmoil.
