Revenge Magick

I bet that title got your attention.

That, you see, is the problem. In Huna you learn that where attention goes, so goes your energy.

I have known a lot of vengeful people. The slightest provocation and they were looking for a curse to use. A hangnail and they were certain someone was cursing them. This pursuit pretty much occupied their nights and days and then they wondered why they didn't have a significant other or any friends. Gee, could it be they spend all their time on vengeance?

Relationships take time and effort and if your days and nights are spent looking up, casting and thinking up curses, you don't have much time for anything else.

You are also building absolutely nothing. You are tearing things apart and down and then, people sit around and wonder why their life is in tatters.

I was really bad at sports and I mean really bad. There are kids who get picked last and then there are kids the team tries to pay the other team to take. That was me. Then one day a very wise man took me aside and said I would do a lot better if I focused on winning rather than defeating the image people had of me. The next day I took home a bowling trophy. I stopped playing against other people and started playing to win, just me and the game and I won. It didn't matter what anyone else did. It didn't matter what their strategy was. It only mattered that I was doing my level best to succeed.

Many years later I was in a Metaphysical group trying to make some changes in the general metaphysical community. One man was arguing against every idea we proposed until finally we simply got tired and agreed with him. Suddenly he started arguing against his ideas that we were agreeing with and he didn't even know it until we pointed it out. He was so focused on defeating us, he completely lost sight of the goal. You are seeing that a lot now-a-days.

You can't build something when your focus is tearing things down. And, of course, you will attract that destructive energy into your life.

I had a client who was a very aggressive business woman. She decimated her competition even though there was no real reason to compete. There was plenty of business for everyone. Why was she paying so much for weekly readings? Her personal life was a shambles. The moment she stepped in the door at home, her mother was on her back. Her lover was complaining. She was living in a battlefield. She had a lot of trouble seeing that the world she created in workplace was the world she came home to at night. The energies she sent out all day came home to roost every evening.

A very wise man once said: "The best revenge is living well." Think about that before you decide to enter into a cursing war, because you may turn out to be the only person on the battlefield.
