Thank you Lal! What a relief, I thought I’d permanent damage. Obviously, I’ve got a spectacled past.
I don’t want to go into any detail about who these beings are. Mind seeds of this sort can produce no good. As Lal mentioned above, “it is better to avoid communicating with such beings”, that’s the best advice.
Yes, since I’ve been learning the material here, the communications have decreased. Metta bhavana seems to be helping a lot. Just yesterday, I met a new friend at a local meditation with similar practices. Even at work, some people are systematically being moved around for less contact with old gathi behaviors. :)
It’s encouraging to see the Path working so well!
With metta,
Donna :)
