I'm not trying to imply this, I'm really asking, because I'm not sure. Tentatively, it seems to me that the spirits have to have a proper place in the scheme of things, its just become distorted somehow, like a small child who becomes boss of the house when raised by weak willed grandparents.
I've had very specific thoughts and events from my life show up in fictional stories written by people I've never met. They are definitely psychically connected to their readers somehow. How to protect oneself? I'm mostly closed off, my artistic ability is almost totally shut down and undeveloped, along with most of my empathy and social grace, because I don't understand how to be open and protect myself. Other people's emotions grasp, seduce, they don't have a motive not to do that. Is there any motive that I can have that allows me to be open without losing myself?
