What Makes You A Target Options

Why would anyone come under spiritual attack? Your average person obviously isn't being attacked by unseen forces so what reasons would anyone have to be psychically attacked?

It strikes me as unlikely that so many people have contact with deities or entities which absolutely can not be proven to exist, but call me a skeptic. On the other hand I myself am a practicing and involved Christian and though I like to think I feel the presence of God everyday, I do not have the arrogance to believe that I am personally connected to him in such a way that he would ever act directly towards me.

In truth, the deities that most come into contact with are but shadows of the actual archetypal divine faces themselves. The true presence of a divine being is not something just anyone can withstand psychically or perhaps even physically - there are many stories of seekers of one faith or another 'finding' the divine and being stricken blind, insane, or just burning up on the spot.

However, I do not think that it is arrogant to think that the divine - whether that is Shiva, Mythra, the Holy Father, etc. - does act towards us and in our lives generally, as individuals. We have to remember that it is impossible to comprehend the intellect, the attention, the intentions of the divine in terms we would even consider super-human. The true nature of the divine simply transcends human conception all together. If we are open to that communication, or if we have asked for that intervention, I don't think it is unthinkable that divinity may directly impact us in some way.

I do think that some people have a tendancy to feel somehow more important by believing that they are under some kind of psychic or spiritual attack...
