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?
-There are manny reasons why someone might be under spiritual/energetic attack. Ill list the most common ones that come to mind:(what Darkmage not included since i will not repeat his words)
1. You are actively trying to make life difficult for someone that is capable of such a thing.
2. Your in the wrong time and place. Why is night time combined with naturaly abundent places a sorce of terror? Because even if you do not practice anything "out of the ordinary" to grab the attention of none phisical beings, being isolated from other people makes you a glowing light standing on its own(and obviously the center of attention and a source of interest). Further more night time is the time where most people and electronical devices are not working... which creates less stress and chaos in the air, everything is calmer, which makes it easier for none phisical entities to move around and influance the world. Also, and in conclusion, nature(plants and animals) give off a lot of free energy that can be used by anyone or "anything" which supports the activity of none phisical beings. Those are also ultimate conditions for us, people, if we are not asleep and taking a walk in nature if we practice energy work(or any form of magick) and pick out a target and have ill intentions towards that person.
3. If you do know your stuff and happan to do something to attract attention to yourself, it could be unwanted attention(from either people practicing magick or entities of sorts). Since not everyone does these things their individual energetic systems dont outshine each other much.. unless you do something out of the ordinary which makes you stand out, energy wise.
4. If you know your stuff and happan to do something to someone else(spiritual\energetical attack of sorts or effect that is benefitial or just does something.. whatever it may be) then either entities or people involved with that person that practice magick could take that action as hostile and do something to neutrelize you.
And there are countless ways to get into this thing unwillingly and unintentionaly... if you dont know how to properly prevent it, and this is just what came to mind. I hope you wouldnt mind me asking why the sudden interest, eh? (IMG:

-Your avarage person is infact the most vulrenable and exploited target, on a daily basis... you know why? since they have no way of knowing for sure that whats happaning to them is because of some "magick" work done against them. All they have is guessing and hoping for the best... cant even defend themselves. Thing is that you dont even understand the extent of these "spiritual attacks", because from your words your assuming you need to be "harmed" in some way. There is so much more to it. Ill give you an example. You could be my boss at some job and you could really dislike me and then when i had enough of your "actions" of trying to make me work hard or whatever it may be(simply because you dislike me) I would set a change in you, without you knowing or feeling any diffrently, an idea in motion... one that repeats itself subconciously regarding your image and emotional response to myself, and at the same time shatter your will, scattering it about and making you unable to focus properly. Anyway, next day when i come to work you will suddenly feel very happy with me and the work im doing(or not doing) and think what a wonderfull worker i am... and later on, since your will is allready broken, no matter what wrong i do to you... you will accept since you like me so very much... and when i decide the work isnt for me, you will fight for me to stay even if it means i will do less then everyone else but still get the same pay. Do you get my point? (and this is a real live situation, from my life a few weeks ago (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) I usualy do not take such action against people when its a situation that i can solve without it, but if its something i cannot change without such means and at the same time i need to look out for myself(because why change jobs because of one a$%*#!*? right? (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/13.gif) ) i do it gladly(!). Me having tools some might lack, doesnt mean suddenly that i cannot use them. Its their own fault for not having them and not working hard like me to achieve them. So it stands as my advantage(hard earned i must add).
So you see this "spiritual attack" your reffering to can be a lot of things, take that into concideration. I think its good i dont have the time at the momment to list all the forces that make the "ordinary guy" do a million things... which puts absolute free will into quesiton(not mentioning other things such as illness and the like that are not allways because of phisical reasons alone).
Hope this helps. (IMG:
