Well to be honest, I did take on some blame. I wish I hadn't in some ways but I also think in the past, I would have been paralyzed with self blame and self loathing in bed about this whole thing and flipping out and acting out, drinking, drugging -- you name it!

And here is another sneaking thought I am having (as long as I'm obsessing): Will this whole manifesting thing now turn into "you're not meeting the kinds of men who might be suitable because you're not manifesting them correctly?" Which is just another way of assessing the situation as "You're not open to this creepy emailer so you must not be able to be in any relationship."

I do worry about that. My family member who died of cancer a few years ago was told (not just once) that he had "attracted his cancer," had "things to work out" and had not "manifested a healthy body." He was a medical doctor and he did not exactly see his metastatic stage 4 cancer as being something that he had manifested for himself. So this kind of thing, like many approaches, needs to be applied in sensible, constructive ways.

I'm going along with this but I'm keeping my wits about me as I do.
