The neighbors across the street are making me crazy

[FirstLight]

I have lived here for 4 years, the sweet kids that owned the house across the street were foreclosed on about 2 yrs ago... and the ones that came and moved in are just horrible...everyone on the street (a small cul de sac, 6 houses total) is pretty cool, one older lady next to me, and some skaters/pot growers on the other side...snowboarders across from them, and the end of the street is another young couple, they still party and my kids have befriended their dog...

so these neighbors have been here for about 2 years...the wife came over and started shit with us this spring because my sprinklers weren't on the right days and she said she was going to call the water company...I explained I was a renter and it was eventually going to get changed, and then asked her why they never even smiled or said hello, we have tried to be nice, etc... she went off on me in front of my kids saying i was not someone she would ever want to be friends with, that i yell at my kids, and then gave me a laundry list of how I leave my front porch light on, etc...bitch! So i told her she didn't have to be such a bitch about it, and then slammed the door (and went and cried, cuz it was just so mean to be slapped in the face like that)... it has been tense, needless to say, since then.
they give my kids shit for playing in the street, if their ball goes on her yard, she says they can;t come on her lawn to get it, total bullshit like that...oh, and they have twin babies (so in a few years we'll see how she feels about yelling at her kids, lol) who are toddling...they let their dogs run off leash and chase my cats, and poop on MY yard...it is just getting ridiculous.

today they are having a yard sale...and being all smiley and nice, but they let their kids toddle across the street and start playing with my kids toys on MY lawn! I opened the door and said "so, you let your kids run like you let your dogs?" and she actually said "ya, you're lucky i don;t let them poop on it...and your kids are on my yard all the time so shut up..." so ya, i told her to fuck off and slammed the door.

I hate being provoked like this, i love my house and my yard...but these people make me want to move.
help me hex them so *they* are ones that end up leaving! sheesh!

1. Trash.

She has no class. Don't worry about it. Call the dog catcher when you see her dog loose. Fling her dog poop back in her own yard. Chances are, these neighbors won't last long and the rest of the cul de sac likely can't stand them either. When you ever get a bunch of money, put up a big fence.

There is always one house with assholes in a neighborhood.

Mine are next door. I am Icy British Polite with them.

She had the nerve to cuss me out on the street (after badmouthing me to other neighbors at the bus stop) because my cat meowing woke her up "every" night one summer. Never a word about it prior to her weeks and weeks of sleeplessness. The idea of closing her window apparently never occurred to her. However, the rottweiler that barks every time I walk out on my deck ..... They put up a very ugly tall metal chain link fence but, I suppose in a nod to the mores of the suburbs, left off the razor wire and floodlights. They have big boundary issues, coming from Queens I guess. Our dogs get along and are a safe subject.

After a number of years, we have settled into a system of polite waves and small talk. The minute she starts oversharing her opinion and information I don't wish to know about, I skedaddle.

We have been living here for 12 years. I pray for the real estate market to pick up and give them the confidence to put their house up and find their country nirvana.

2. All Are One.

Send love and light to this family.

Only LOVE matters.

We create our reality and this conflict serves a purpose that you haven't discerned as yet.

So in your meditations, send this woman and her whole family light and love and compassion.

For the greatest good of all.

This may not have been the response you were expecting, but I believe that where humanity is right now, it is the only answer for all those who seek a better world and to ascend.

All that is of the lower vibrations.....

...is now in the process of being transmuted into its higher counterpart. Everywhere upon the Earth, there is being presented great opportunities to bring healing and closure in every aspect of life upon your Planet which has caused so much pain, suffering and strife to Humanity for millennia. All of this is in the process of alchemy, Dear Ones, and is being changed by each of you in each choice that you make to be the Light that you are rather than reacting from a lower feeling or thought. Humanity as a whole is being presented with a stupendous gift at this time in the evolution of the Earth and all upon Her. For with the higher Cosmic energies that are now pouring down upon the atmosphere, there can be no denying of each person’s responsibility to manifest on the level of their Divine Self. http://lightworkers.org/channeling/129401/archangel-gabriel-april-14-21-2011">MORE

3. This would be my answer.

I was thinking, in a world of an eye for eye, everyone is blind.

Be the sweet one. You already know you yell at your kids. It's either okay with you or not. Her opinion is superfluous.
Just think. You can take the high road or wait for HER to take it! Eeek! YOU be the One. Otherwise, well ya know, she'll get
the benies.

10. An excellent point.

With which I agree. There are people who will drain energy from others. These are often lost souls, or young souls and souls living-in-denial and have been for some time. But we must all accept our karmic responsibilities to workout the challenges set before us on our path. Those who won't will end up just railing at the world and usually being a pain to others as well as themselves.

All of us travel upon similar paths, but where we are headed is a journey we must all make alone. And the experiences we gain as we travel, serve to strengthen us and to give us wisdom and understanding. As well as compassion for ourselves and for others. And the greatest wisdom we can have is to come to know that we all started out blind, and it is only through our struggles that we begin to see.

If we ignore these lessons and fail to heed their inner truths, then karma will bring it back to us and try to teach us again. And again. And again. However much time it takes. There's no rush. We must learn the lesson(s) until we understand what it is saying to us. Teaching us. The underlying foundation of all the lessons are: "Our intent and inner desire for love and compassion for all things is all that matters."

But truly learn it we must (my inner-Yoda speaking here), before we can move past it and on to greater understanding. We must learn to alter our emotions and desires and to learn to reach-out to one another. Yes, even terrible neighbors. In fact, especially terrible neighbors because it's easy to forgive those we already love and care about who have wronged us. There is little challenge in that.

We must give others our Unconditional Love, Compassion and Forgiveness. And then, sometimes we must simply -- detach.

If we are to Ascend, we must leave our old way of thinking with our egos behind, and start thinking and following our hearts. Hearts that are full of Unconditional Love and Compassion. Hard as it may seem to be. We must leave the old ways of seeing things and old ways of being behind. It is our choice. It has always been and always will be our choice.


- Free will works that way and only that way. Namaste.

5. i know you are right

but some people will not be changed or moved by that, and she says the shit she does to me with a smile on her face being sweet as pie...so no, not my idea of an option.
I would rather put up stronger psychic boundaries and really claim the circle on my property, so that their waves of ick can;t get to me... seriously, this is a territory thing and it is nasty, no amount of love will heal it, it has only gotten worse, and I did not throw the first stone...

8. I understand what you're saying.....

...and I realize that it's not an easy thing to do. If a blind woman steps on your toe you wouldn't dislike her for it because you know she cannot see. Likewise, based upon your description in this incident, it appears she holds in a fair amount of anger inside of her -- some of which she is trying to pass onto you.

Some people are afflicted with a "blindness of the soul."

''Now: sometimes you may think you hate mankind. You may consider people insane, the individual creatures with whom you share the planet. You may rail against what you think of as their stupid behavior, their bloodthirsty ways, and the inadequate and shortsighted methods that they use to solve their problems. All of this is based upon you idealized concept of what the (human) race should be -- your love for your fellow man, in other words. But your love can get lost if you concentrate upon those variations that are less than idyllic.'' ~Seth, from: ''Seth Speaks'' by Jane Roberts

7. yes and yes

I know these tools, I also posted in the heat of the moment when i really wanted to deck that chick! :mad:

I am going to do some re-newing of my protection, salt circle around the property, etc...as well as the mirror trick... and continue to work on the highest vibrational contract...

it's so hard dealing with these kinds of people! I usually manage to avoid the unpleasantness of humanity, but here it is, on my home turf, and i have to learn how to hang with it...
guh!

9. Exactly.

11. "protection" circles and such always bothered me

But that's me, personally. ;)

The reason is that with the focus being on protection and keeping others "out," it seems to me to have more of an energetic emphasis (and thus creative energy?) on the negative...a focus on what you don't want.

Instead, I try to envision and do things which essentially have the person or situation I feel needs "protected" immersed in love and light, and focus on that radiating OUTWARD.

Maybe it's more of an offensive rather than defensive approach, but in a positive way. :)

Good luck. I'm sorry there's such huge ICK right next door.

I fall back on saying "bless you" to such people (either verbally or just in my own head), as those two words, for me, are filled with love, forgiveness, surrender, etc.

:hug:

12. I have always been a big fan of salt ;)

it absorbs negativity, therefore not allowing it to enter an area, and also hopefully absorbing my own negativity towards those who would 'cross the line' with me... so i guess i see it as both offense and defense.

Ages ago, when i was into playing with magic, i used to think in terms of warrior-isms...now i just want to be left alone. I tried to be nice and am met with awfulness everytime i walk out the door...so it has to be a protection thing for me now. after leaving abusive ex- i woorked very hard to make my home a safe haven...so the idea of being psychically attacked is NOT cool with me. that's where I go on the defensive i guess.

I put up 2 mirrors last night, bought a guardian angel candle and have had it burning all night...

the sweet little lady next door told me that someone was over here the other day taking pictures of my house... i hope to god the owners aren;t thinking of selling it out from under us... i'd hate to have to move in the snow...

who knows what the universe has in store for us...at this rate, i wouldn't mind a double wide on a few acres with NO neighbors at all!

[OneGrassRoot]

13. That's very cool about the salt...

for the reasons you state.

:thumbsup:

Hey, girl, we all have to do what we've gotta do.

I see you and your kids radiating All that is Good and Sacred, and pray that is what you experience.

14. Breathe deep from the belly. Let the anxiety lessen.

Keep breathing. Why not see her bathed in golden light. She is obviously a very unhappy person with no life of her own. Every time you see her in your mind, acknowledge to yourself her unhappiness, smile serenely and carry on your life...you know the best revenge is living well.
