Are toughts truly just thoughts and cant harm me?

[danijel87]

I have OCD and I recently started doing exposure therapy by trying to ignore my intrusive thoughts no matter how disgusting and anxiety inducing they are, however I still feel on edge and paranoid that my intrusive thoughts could somehow manipulate energy or manifest themselves. A mild example: if Im constantly hearing in my head on a daily basis that my boss will take away my day off on Friday and I ignore it, could it somehow trough law of attraction or some unconscious energy manipulation manifest itself? I spend most of the day in my head telling myself "no no no no my kidneys are healthy and fine" or "no no no thats not what Ive meant, I would never think that" and Its driving me crazy

Replace all of them with 1 positive mantra / phrase that covers everything and you will still repeat many times a day.

If I replaced them all the mantra would be 3h long haha but I know what you mean, thanks. Other then that do you think intrusive thoughts can harm someone spiritually?

If you believe in mind over matter then you believe thoughts can have that effect. Yes. When you constantly worry and doubt everything it will eventually harm you.
With replacing them all I meant 1 positive one that should give you confidence. Something like "whatever happens today, I'll deal with it and be okay". Whenever a doubt or intrusive thought comes up, willfully think (something like) that to override it.

Thoughts have no physical manifestation and only have expression in the world through people who bring them out into reality. We're raised to identify with our thoughts, and submit to them, even when they are more cruel to us than any other person. The thoughts live through us, they parasitically cow us out of fear and anxiety, like a boss who has an office in our brain and constantly tells us what to do and scolds us when we fail.

Thoughts are the sole reason for suicide, they cause most violent crimes, violent oppressive regiems, bigotry and hate, Thoughts are what justify and create all of this.

I strongly recommend taking up a meditation practice, you can even weaponize your OCD habit by being firm on how frequently you meditate ans how deeply you look into it

 

[HoldAll]

Don't worry about manifestation, a magical operation takes powerful and sustained intent to have any chance of working, you simply don't have the required focus in the mental state you're in and there is no danger whatsoever that you could manifest anything by accident. It's more the constant worrying about such accidental manifestations that will cause you harm.

Have successfully used and still sometimes run to a phrase easy to loop mentally -


Dion Fortunes': “Limitless Power, Absolute Harmony, Eternal Duration”

Thank you for your replies, I will practice meditation and build my focus!

Manifestation/Thoughtform creation appears when you are sure of it and direct this energy towards it.

When you watch yourself in a mirror, saying "I'm ugly" you direct energy not only towards you but the mirror will emplify it.

Warning : we are on magickal forum so i will give you some magickal techniques but that don't replace therapy. You might not creating thoughtforms but you are poisoning your mind with irrationnal fears. You need to recognize it before using the following....

I can only advice you to do on the opposite way and throw blessings like confetti. When you realise the dangers isn't there, bless your friday....

Those smalls blessings will make a change psychologically and energetically.
