There are billions of people on earth. They are all transmitting thoughts and impressions, most of which are not directed towards enlightenment. If you are not focused, you will pick up these energies.

We hide from ourselves by being with others.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything is amplified in the world of attention at night. People are more open to forces. That is why human beings cluster around each other in housing developments - a group force pervades and keeps the beings out.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you see someone draining you, your being naturally cuts it off. Yet many times you can be manipulated not to see.
