Spiritual Protection and Energy
How can we discuss harmful ritual practices while keeping sound intentions and avoiding victim-blaming?

I encourage building positive relationships and fewer grievances in ordinary interactions. In my service experience, matters regarded as curses or harmful talismans often involve disputes or personal contact. Through energetic connection, I understand touch, food, drink, and associated objects as potentially strengthening links, and have also discussed claims of remote talisman work.
But I explicitly said some people have neither exploited others nor developed particular grievances and can still face malicious attacks. That is another situation. Being harmed cannot be turned backward into proof of bad character, and kindness does not guarantee never encountering malice.
Within faith, I value accumulating positive strength, merit, and blessings, maintaining firm will, and connecting with deities and Buddhas. Their protection and spiritual soldiers' support when needed are resources of faith. 'Nothing happening is a good thing' also reminds us that ordinary meals and peaceful daily life deserve appreciation. This is not an invitation to suspect every touch or drink, nor a basis for self-diagnosing possession.
In discussing such news, I hope ordinary people need not become excessively afraid. Financial and romantic entanglements often appear in cases we encounter, so I advise care in conduct and fewer grievances. This describes our experiences and an approach to life, not a verdict against every victim. Good deeds and drawing close to deities are support I value, not grounds to judge people in trouble as lacking blessings.
