Hello,
The last two weeks I've shocked myself three times and today the light was flickering in the room I was in.
I remember reading that this is a sign of spirit harm. Is that true?
Electric Disturbances - Magic?
Electric Disturbances - Magic?
Equanimity is the ground. Love is the moisture. Compassion is the seed. Bodhicitta is the result.
-Paraphrase of Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tsephel citing the Guhyasamaja Tantra
"All memories and thoughts are the union of emptiness and knowing, the Mind.
Without attachment, self-liberating, like a snake in a knot.
Through the qualities of meditating in that way,
Mental obscurations are purified and the dharmakaya is attained."
-Ra Lotsawa, All-pervading Melodious Drumbeats

Did you see if the lights flickered at other houses as well and did you check your own fuses in your house?Konchog1 wrote:It was all the lights. Even my computer monitor turned itself off and on.practitioner wrote:Did you check the lightbulb?

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

Maybe it was a power surge. There are plenty reasonable explanations for this, I'd say magic is pretty low on the list.Konchog1 wrote:It was all the lights. Even my computer monitor turned itself off and on.practitioner wrote:Did you check the lightbulb?

I don't know about the Tibetan traditions, but I work with other traditions that deal with spirits extensively.
The first step is to check the standard physical explanations. Lights flickering once is not to odd, if it happens a lot then it is.
The second step (if needed) is to get a reading from someone qualified to check.

And I think you should probably get some kind of overvoltage protection thing for your computer, stereo and tv.
