You may not see the reason for them, but those thoughts and feelings cannot be coming to you by chance

"Someone comes and confides in me that they are visited by

unsettling thoughts and feelings, and they don’t understand why.

The way they see it, it doesn’t make sense; it is not in their

nature to have such thoughts and feelings; they are quite out of

character and not related to their usual concerns! I say, ‘Are

you sure? You may not see the reason for them, but those thoughts

and feelings cannot be coming to you by chance. In some way or

another you have provided the conditions for them; you have put

the food out for them.’

If you put a bowl of milk on your windowsill, don’t be surprised

if all the cats in the district turn up. If you just chase them

away, it won’t help; remove the bowl of milk instead. Otherwise,

the cats will say to you, ‘What are you complaining about? You

attracted us with the milk.’ Do you feel invaded by particular

negative states? Start by asking yourself what you have done to

attract them, for you most certainly did."
