I have found that coping with daily attacks by directed energy weapons and community policing based gang-stalking cannot be left to chance. One of the best coping mechanisms I employ is personal Bible study. It provides a rich trove of good examples that furnish lessons I can apply to my situation.
One recent personal study session revealed a sterling quality of Jesus Christ that I seek to imitate in dealing with others. In Jesus’ day, people who lived in Judea and Galilee generally had “no dealings with Samaritans,” their closest neighbors (and distant relatives). (John 4:9) A saying recorded in the Talmud no doubt expressed the feeling of many Jews: “May I never set eyes on a Samaritan.” The Mishnah even included this rule: “Cattle may not be left in the inns of the gentiles (non-Jews) since they are suspected of bestiality.” Such blanket prejudice against all non-Jews was unjust and quite contrary to the spirit of the Mosaic Law. (Leviticus 19:34) Other man-made rules demeaned women. The oral law said that a wife should walk behind, not beside, her husband. A man was warned against conversing with a woman in public, even his own wife. Like slaves, women were not allowed to offer testimony in court. There was even a formal prayer in which men thanked God that they were not women.
Although raised in Galilee, Jesus rejected all such prejudices of his contemporaries. For example, he willingly engaged a Samaritan woman in public conversation, providing encouragement that blessed her and her family. (John 4:1-15) When a Gentile (Roman) army officer pleaded for his aid, he kindly responded. (Matthew 8:5-13) Jewish tax collectors were hated and shunned by their fellow countrymen. Jesus, however, was willing to help them, in spite of being criticized for doing so. (Matthew 9:9-13) In so many ways, he provides a wonderful example for us. He refused to allow the prejudices and stereotypes held by his contemporaries to affect how he treated others. Even when he was impaled and about to die as the result of an outrageous act of injustice, he consoled the condemned criminal impaled next to him with a promise of future restoration.
Jesus example in this regard teaches me how to treat my fellowman. Our modern society is also afflicted with deeply held prejudices, suspicions, and hatred of strangers. Such attitudes often lead to cruel actions. No doubt, this pervasive spirit contributes to the growth of community policing based “gang stalking” and related forms of state-sponsored bullying. Yet, in this climate, as a Christian, I must be like Jesus; refusing to allow the prejudices and cruel attitudes of others to shape how I treat neighbors and strangers. As Christ did, I must treat others in a way that demonstrates Godly qualities of love, kindness and mercy. This holds true in spite of the fact that some among my neighbors actively support the psychological war waged against me. In responding to their actions, I must be motivated by nobler qualities, not the weaknesses of my antagonists. In this way I imitate the Christ, Not only is it the right thing to do, it is also the wisest.
Practical Benefits of Treating Others With Kindness
When a person is victimized by a group (as is the case with gang-stalking) paranoia and a general distrust of others often develops as a result. The victim isolates himself emotionally and may frequently misidentify innocent individuals as participants in the psychological attacks against him. However, doing good to others requires overriding feelings of mistrust and acting in the best interests of others. This provides three key benefits:
1. You maintain and develop communication and interpersonal skills that help counteract the tendency toward isolation. I have seen this benefit in my own case. Although naturally shy, I have developed the ability to initiate friendly conversations with strangers in any setting. Simply providing a warm greeting or a ready smile to others warms my heart and neutralizes the tendency to regard everyone in my immediate environment with distrust. It also stimulates pleasant responses from others, bolstering my countenance in positive ways.
2. You greatly reduce levels of paranoia and mistrust. When psychological attacks are done by a large group (as in gang-stalking) it creates a tendency in the victim to see everyone as a potential participant in psychological torture. You will tend to perceive or imagine that the group attacking you is much bigger than it really is. However, it is only by actively and continuously reaching out to others with kindness that you realize that not everyone is against you. The enemy is “cut down to size.” Even if you do interact with someone who is covertly participating in gang stalking, so what? Their intent is to produce a bitter and irrational response in you. They have failed completely if you interact with them in a calm and pleasant manner!
3. Your pleasant countenance attracts others. People are naturally drawn to kind individuals. As you work to develop this quality, it will draw others to you, earning their loyalty and trust. This counteracts the isolation that is a byproduct of the psychological war waged against you. It helps the victim to maintain and develop healthy friendships that protect mental health.
You cannot control every aspect of the psychological campaign being waged against you. However, by actively displaying kindness to others at every opportunity, you are controlling negative thoughts. That protects your mental health! Looking to the age-old principles of the Bible to counteract the modern weapons of psychological warfare may seem foolish to some. However, with over ten years of experience in waging that battle, I can personally testify to the effectiveness of Bible principles. It is the secret to my success!
