Things can start to get complicated when a person who has been spiritually branded as

someone who likes to hurt other people starts to develop relationships with other people. For

example, if they meet a person who likes to hurt other people, that person might start a

relationship with them based on that apparent mutual

characteristic.

When the relationship comes to an end the person who they were involved with might come to the conclusion that the vulnerable person also

likes to confuse other people. It might not occur to them that the problem

might be that the vulnerable person might not really be

This person who has just ended their relationship with the individual who had been

to hurt other people, he also likes to confuse other people. They will think this because they are confused about why their relationship with

the vulnerable person failed.

But before adding to the vulnerable individual’s spiritual branding that he likes to both hurt and confuse other people, that person might want to verify the original spiritual branding by going out

into the Collective Subconscious and trying to spiritually contact the family members who set

people.

There is a danger that the spiritual entity that is made up of the family members of the vulnerable

Imagine that in the illustration below there are actually four family members that make up the

The fourth family member (the vulnerable person), who is

There is a danger that instead of honoring the vulnerable person’s request to correct the

incorrect spiritual branding where the vulnerable person was blamed for the family’s problems, they might say that the vulnerable person was actually given an equal role in their family from

the start. They might argue that he was given an even break right from the start and that he

destroyed his opportunity.

If the vulnerable person is not able to get the other

When the vulnerable family member starts to develop relationships with people outside of their family, the people who they meet will sense only a small amount of spiritual energy coming into them from the vulnerable family member. For

this reason the people who meet the vulnerable person will only be able to form a practical,

Most people develop a deep set of emotions (the most important part of their soul) and a practical set of emotions (the day-to-day practical side of their soul). An example of a person using their practical emotions might be a high school girl merging the practical part of her soul with the souls of her fellow students for the purpose of

getting their votes when she is trying to become the president of her class.

For example, the family might fear that the vulnerable family member will realize that they

are exchanging spiritual energy with other people. Even though those exchanges of

spiritual energy are small compared to the exchanges of spiritual energy that most people experience, the vulnerable person might figure

out how to build upon those limited exchanges of spiritual energy.

Once the vulnerable family member realizes that they are exchanging limited amounts of spiritual

vulnerable guy’s response.

At this point the people who like to reap where they don’t sow will try to make everybody think

that the rumor is true by pointing out to everyone that the vulnerable guy’s face is

turning red. They will say that he is obviously embarrassed because what they said was true. At this point people will start to think that the rumor must be true. They will misinterpret the

vulnerable guy’s response.

When the people in the group see the vulnerable guy’s

face turn red they are seeing a combination of his weak emotions towards the various men involved mixed with the feelings of frustration and panic

that he feels whenever people try to create a myth about him that is not true. There are two

reasons why the vulnerable guy panics when he gets involved in this sort of a situation.

The first reason the vulnerable guy panics is that he knows that it is now going to be hard for him to make friends with this new group of people. Now that they believe something about him that is not true, it will be hard for him to form any genuine

relationships with these people. The second reason that he panics is that he realizes the same thing might happen with the next group of new

people that he meets.

As mentioned earlier, the vulnerable guy is afraid that when he meets new people in the future,

there might also be people in that group who like to reap where they don’t sow. There seems to be

at least one person in every group who takes pleasure in reaping a harvest from the seeds of spiritual and psychological vulnerability that are planted deep into the souls of vulnerable people

early in their lives.
