Is Vulnerable Guy Number One might be confused by this because he knows that Vulnerable Guy Number Two is actually the guy who took his
place. He needs to stop sending the woman his spiritual energy not because of her relationship
with the man of her dreams but because it might conflict with her ability to use her practical
emotions to help her deal with new people who she will be meeting.

In the illustration below there are four family members that make up the spiritual entity that
created the incorrect spiritual branding that was given to the vulnerable person (Number 4 below) who was born at a time that was not convenient
for his family. There is a danger that because the vulnerable person is only a small part of the spiritual entity things will get worse for the
vulnerable person.

There is a danger that instead of honoring the vulnerable person’s request to correct the
incorrect spiritual branding where the vulnerable person was blamed for the family’s problems, they might say that the vulnerable person was actually given an equal role in their family from
the start. They might argue that he was given an even break right from the start and that he
destroyed his opportunity.

The other family members might think that it is very comical that they have been able to give the
vulnerable person a reputation as being a very negative person who has a bad character when
actually the vulnerable person is just weak because they were deprived of some of their
spiritual energy as a result of having been given an incorrect spiritual branding by their family
members.

Those who observe the family might notice that there seems to be a lot of good humor in the
family. But the good humor will remain only for as long as the vulnerable person is weak and is struggling. If the vulnerable person makes an
attempt to become stronger they will notice that the apparently good humored people who they
had been dealing with will become very stern and very angry.

There is humor in this type of a situation where the vulnerable person is rewarded for remaining
weak and is punished for trying to become stronger, but it is a very dark sort of humor. The family wants to keep the spiritual energy that it has stolen by giving the vulnerable person an incorrect spiritual branding and they will do everything possible to keep the vulnerable
person under their control.

The vulnerable person in this type of a situation is hoping that if they cooperate and if they keep
playing the role that was assigned to them maybe the family will eventually correct the
incorrect spiritual branding that was given to the vulnerable person and will also stop punishing
them when they try to become stronger. But it is possible that the vulnerable person might not be
able to change things.

If the vulnerable person is not able to get the other family members to change things, the
vulnerable person could maybe try to start communicating subconsciously
to the people who they meet the truth about their spiritual situation in life. They can try to
communicate to other people subconsciously that they are not who they appear to be because of a
myth about them that has been created.

The myth that has been created about the vulnerable person says that they were given an
even break right from the start and that the vulnerable person has destroyed the opportunity that they were given. The vulnerable person has
been given a false identity. For a person to become strong enough to handle the pressures of life, they need to have an identity that is based
on the truth, not on a myth.
