It's not always who you are in this lifetime, but past lives can draw things to you, also. And, those lives can create any form of an emotional attachment from others for numerous reasons. For instance: like, love, resentment or hate.
It can cause an enormous amount of spirit attachment/possession with various types of lifeforms. These lifeforms can cause havoc within our energy (mind/body), including creating our habits (good or bad).
Being a metaphysical teacher, knowing my past lives and current life has stirred up universal energy, I often feel my personal energy looks like this picture. It's a full time job to keep one's energy (thoughts/emotions/programming/health) clear, as well as protected, from these attachments. It can become daunting and discouraging.
Then I think, it could be worse... I could be our beloved Creator with all His monumental trials and tribulations, including endless spirit attachments that He must be drawing to Him. 🤷🏻♀️
