The ways of Love and Hate (and technology)

[Plenum]

It is for the same reasons that fear attracts fearful situations, sadness invites more sadness, and so forth

the cause and effect here is interesting to contemplate.

I'm of the view that these things are governed at a lower level of consciousness (lower in the sense of more deeply rooted), and that anytime these things are 'triggered', it's just the surface thrusting manifestations.

So someone could be having a great day, and then something 'happens' and interrupts that, and the mind gets caught up in self-involved, perceived negative patterns.

So did the external event really cause it?  Or did some resonance just get triggered, and the pattern was just dormant?  I'm more of the view that it's the latter.

So someone who genuinely has no doubt, can't have doubt be triggered in them, and someone who has no sadness or regrets, can't have that triggered, no matter how violent or extreme the external event.
