Marle77,

I don't think you have wasted anyone's time ....I feel you needed to hear some of the things hear to help you get a better perspective. You are making this to be much bigger than it is.

Communication is something tyou need to have more of with the person you are trying to do business with. That's it. No magick, no spells, no rituals...just good ole fashioned communication.

If you don't like this girl he is/was seeing, talk to her....let her know how you feel..same with the other kids...

You are 26...they are kids...kids are mean sons-of-bitches sometimes....you can either feed the fire, or ignore them and let it burn out until they find another "victim." You are feeding them, and they love it.

Magick only works if you beleive in it. If you beleive that all these cats are possessed, they will be.

I know your heart is in the right place...but your head isn't right now...you are too emotionally involved.

Step back.....take a break form the mess...go away for a few days....even better a week or more...if you can't do that, call up a family member or a friend that isn't involved with this shot and unload on them...tell them all that is going on.

And the thing you need to do most, is JOURNAL....write your feelings and thoughts down for 3 days....then stop for 3 days...then go back and read what you wrote...do this...and you will understand alot more about the situation.

Blessings Bright and Dark,

Thanks so much for your time and help Lady Elaine, I appreciate it more than you know. It's really hard having been moved to a strange place alone where I don't know anyone else other than the one who just left me to dally with Sabrina the Teenage bitch as well as having my family living 3000 miles away and all of a sudden be expected to learn some fast and hard spiritual lessons.

I have done a lot of the things you've mentioned. I have journaled a lot of what I've been going through because this is all new to me. I'm not the kind of person that is used to such vivid impressions like I'm getting so they stand out to me and it's shown me the worst of need and fear and what being beyond all of that really is. Honestly on some level I have to thank this girl and her friends for showing me that I have to be stronger than weak convictions like holding onto someone else/something outside yourself no matter what it takes and who gets hurt.

And believe me, I've unloaded this on my mom and those who understand more than I'm sure they want to hear. I just couldn't understand what would drive a person to take so much time and effort to torment someone else like that. And now I see. And hopefully this guy will eventually see on his own; nothing good will come of me mentioning it to him. If he's as strong as he tries to make himself out to be, he'll do what needs to be done to end the drama. If not, I can't stick around for it.

The communication has been the problem since this nonsense began, and I see that's what she's been trying to screw up between us to try to get her way. Torment me enough and I'll cry about it and he'll see her as the stronger one because he really hates girls that whine and cry. End of story.

I orginally had planned to talk to her about this long ago when it first started (you know, try to share some knowledge about being interconnected and using all that immense mental focusing ability she has to heal not destroy), but I was advised not to by a good friend of mine. He said that would only fuel the fire with someone like her (she puts on a big ol' sweet looking and sounding mask for people, no wonder her greatest fear is Micheal Myers' mask)... and well another good friend of mine let me know today this girl isn't the "brightest crayon in the box" so talking to her might just indeed aggrevate the situation more. I'm just going to quietly do my thing, ignore the crap from her and she'll eventually disappear one way or another.

And hey, maybe I should introduce myself anyway. Something like "Hi, I'm the newbie that just made an idiot of herself in the forums. I had no idea what I was talking about with that, but hey, I'm not totally stupid! I know that there is always more one can learn."

Another thing I gotta remember is not to shrink away because of past mistakes, but to keep moving forward anyway. That's the real lesson here I think.

Hey Marle, what kind of business are you opening up? Storefront or internet based? Or something else? I'm interested in knowing more.
