How are you feeling?

[Moine]

I’m bringing this up because I never considered myself to be emotional. But now reflecting on my past, and sensing this creature in the house, I recall many instances of intense emotion, many limiting/negative; many totally absurd. Some of the memories are frightening; others are embarrassing and completely immature. I have done a very good job of repressing/suppressing my acknowledgement of them, and have been very reluctant to self-examine them.

So now I have this entity, and am working to eradicate it. Sage, salt and firm verbal rejection seem to have made a difference in both the house and the cat, though I’m not sure it’s completely gone yet. But I still want to know why I attracted it (assuming I did attract it). I would be truly grateful for any feedback or thoughts or comments

The milieu of your emotional and mental activities, preferences and predilections, create an ambiance that some things prefer to bask themselves in, depending on their tastes.

Consider the overall nature of the stated "content" that you were going over, and what others of a similar disposition, but dissimilar awareness would otherwise be either inclined, or "coerced" to exude from their emotions or mental states.

Similarly consider the nature of your reaction to its presence. You're getting irked and are trying to get it to go away, based off of sorely physical notions of reality. That might be a further possibility to explore, going over the first part of what I quoted, and seeing how those things affect your environment and "ambiance".
