Recognizing Malicious Intent: How to Spot Those Who Monitor You for Harm

Ever felt like someone entered your life not to build a genuine connection, but to spy and gather intelligence for their own gain? DJ Kornbred dives deep into the concept of "monitoring spirits" – those people who observe your movements, collect your vulnerabilities, and potentially use them against you.

Drawing from painful personal experiences, Kornbred shares how she's encountered individuals who presented themselves as friends, romantic interests, or business connections, only to discover their intentions were far from pure. "Nine times out of ten when I be thinking something... my gut be telling me something and I'd be right," she reflects, highlighting the importance of trusting your instincts when something feels off about a new relationship.

The episode offers practical protection strategies for those who suspect they might be dealing with monitoring spirits in their own lives. From setting firm boundaries around personal information to increasing digital privacy, seeking support from trusted allies, and even considering spiritual approaches to protection, Kornbred provides a comprehensive framework for safeguarding your energy and wellbeing. She emphasizes that these experiences, while painful, don't have to lead to complete isolation – the key is developing discernment about who truly deserves your trust.

The Shit Show. The podcast starts now with DJ Cornbread, aka the Empress. What's up y'all? It's your girl, dj Cornbread, aka the Empress, back with another one man. We got to talk about these monitoring spirits.

Speaker 1: 0:16

Monitoring spirits I'm saying like I've been feeling like people that have been around me recently, something I'm going to say everybody, you listen, not everybody might not be you, but some people I feel like they are around for malicious intent, like they're around for another reason. Some people have come, came around me recently, I feel like, and it was just to help face up at or to make you know, get them right for a second, or you know anything like it's you gotta watch people. I'm just gonna say say that you gotta watch people and and it's sad to say that when you thinking that you're being a friend or trying to help somebody out, and it's this net and they intent behind the whole being around, a situation this is is so malicious it's not even what you would expect and that that is real, real crazy. To me that's not, not cool at all. But for those of you who don't know what a monitoring spirit is, a monitoring spirit is a term that's commonly used in spiritual or religious contexts, particularly in Christianity and some African traditions, but it refers to a type of malicious or unclean spirit that is believed to observe, track or influence a person's actions or your thoughts and your behavior. Actions or your thoughts and your behavior.

Speaker 1: 1:43

So, like the spirit is thought to monitor a, the spirit is thought to like monitor a person's life, or it might be a person that's you know, that comes around, often for a purpose of to cause harm or confusion or spiritual oppression or something like that. Because, like in some belief, belief systems, monitoring spirits that are seen as agents of, like witchcraft, dark forces or evil spirits sent by others, sometimes referred to as a spiritual enemy to spot on or to interfere with the person's destiny, relationships or progress, you know. So these spirits believe to operate like in the background, so feeding information to spiritual enemies or even hindering, like personal success and like your spiritual growth. So you have to watch people. Like I said, you have to really, really watch people and watch. You know, watch your every move when it comes to people, especially these days.

Speaker 1: 2:41

Like some people believe that identifying and dealing with monitoring spirits involves, like prayer, spiritual warfare and specific rituals, you know, to protect oneself or, you know, to restore your spiritual peace. But like, however, like the concept and significance of monitoring spirits can like vary depending on your faith and your like your worldview of it. So, like, if you think someone is acting as a monitoring spirit in your life, like someone is spying on you or tracking your actions and like a harmful or intrusive way, it's very, very, very, very important to like approach the situation thoughtfully and carefully, because you need to consider taking like certain type of steps on you when you, you know think somebody is a monitoring spirit, because like stuff can like take a turn, especially if they don't get what they come that came around for. You know, some people get what they come around for when they really just turn their ass, but then it's like so obvious of what they were around for, especially when people just go MIA and you don't hear from them no more or they not calling or talking to you like they used to usually do. So that's one way that you know I can tell. But like here's some like some steps you can do to like consider beforehand, so, like one, evaluate the situation objectively, like access their behavior before jumping to like conclusions. Try to access like legitimate reasons for their behavior, like sometimes people might not intrusive, might not seem intrusive without malicious intent. Well, they might seem intrusive without malicious intent.

Speaker 1: 4:23

Trust your instincts. Trust your instinctsive without malicious intent. Trust your instincts. Trust your instincts, that's one big one. Trust your instincts, like while it's important to assess the situation carefully, don't ignore your gut feelings. You know, like, if you something's telling you, yeah, and 9 times out of 10, when I be thinking something, I think it and it'd be right, it'd be right my gut be telling me something and I'd be right, 90 of the time, 10 I might be off and I'll be like, oh, okay, well, maybe, but then later on it'll everything come to the light and it'll still be some ish. You know so. And if you feel uncomfortable or suspect something is off, your feelings might be valid. And that was points to that.

Speaker 1: 5:02

Like to set boundaries also. Set boundaries like limit personal information. Be cautious, please be cautious about what you share with these people, because I've done it before and you thinking they're here for you and really they're not. They're just there to get information, to know what the fuck is going on. Avoid giving out personal, private or sensitive information that could be used against you or exploited. You got to watch people there, they'll do. It's people that will do shit like that. I've had that happen before too. You might think that you opening up and talk to somebody that really cut for you and care and really on the background, that's why they won't jump in and do shit, because they don't give a fuck. I've had a homeboy that did the same thing and they really, like I said they'd be sitting there, they'd catch all the information, but they really don't give a fuck. They leave you high and dry and just to be having a conversation with them for no reason and be direct, like if it's necessary, if you feel safe doing so, like step back with the person politely, be firm and let them know they're over overstepping or making you uncomfortable and just telling that you got to move around some people. You have to do that too. Like you have to tell them or be up front and and just be, you know, like with it, because some people they'll just kick you and just treat you like shit or just keep, like I said, doing the things to you because they you're not saying shit about it.

Speaker 1: 6:25

So and three, increase privacy and security. So like digital privacy. If you suspect someone is like monitoring you digitally. Consider like tightening up your online security, like changing your passwords using the two-step, the two-step authentication, the two-step uh authentication, reviewing how, or reviewing who has access to your like social media, like your facebook tiktok, I don't care. Like you're a content creator, like promoter, whatever you do. Like I will limit the amount of people you have, because I've had somebody do that to me too, as opposed to being a person that was doing my promo online and nine times out of ten I mean most likely, and really they were some of my own monitoring spirit type shit Like they really was around to get information on some malicious intent to give my shit to these other people and to fuck me off when it came to me being on a radio station. So it's, I mean, people got fucked up intentions. That's all I'm going to say.

Speaker 1: 7:24

As far as your physical privacy, like, keep your personal space at home work environment secure. Like I don't be telling everybody where you, where you work. Don't be doing all that letting them know every little thing. Hell, no, because this may include involve like locking your doors, using privacy screens or being mindful of who is around you when you're discussing like certain information, because that really really matters, and then avoid confrontation. Like it's unsafe, like depending on who it is and what it is and what they're around for.

Speaker 1: 7:53

Try to avoid confrontation with all means. I mean try to avoid that Like if you feel like the person is a threat or you sense danger, like direct confrontation, especially if you are on a like unsure of their intentions, because I've had somebody around me that acted like they wanted to marry me and really was around to use me and set me up and I really think they was also basically would have sacrificed me on some shit because they tried to lie and make it like it was the other way, it was me on some shit like that. But no, you have to watch motherfuckers like that because you are unsure of their intentions and they'll have the whole world feeling like a damn fool, including their family members. Instead of focusing on protecting yourself and removing yourself from the situation as safely as possible, that's what you need to focus on protecting yourself and getting away from the situation. So if you don't feel like you need to just take that next step and do all that extra, then confront the person and just move around silently Like don't say shit, just move around and just, if you can't do it like right, a hundred percent, just piece by piece, move, do certain little things or whatever, until you 100 just out of there, and then five seek support.

Speaker 1: 9:07

Like it was hard for me to like talk to people or talk to somebody when this was happening to me, because of the stuff that the person told me what happened to me. If I did so, I would say talk to like a trusted friend or a mentor if you're, if you're unsure, like seeking advice from someone you trust can offer like a different perspective on a situation or what's going on. So, and you know they may notice things you didn't or help you access the situation, because there was some stuff that I didn't see or I didn't know. The other people told me or they saw certain little things and I'm like, oh okay, now I see why he was acting like that. Now I see why he was acting like that. Now I see why she was acting like that, you know. So that is well.

Speaker 1: 9:49

Consider professional health If you. Well, if the monitoring feels harmful or is impacting your wellbeing, it might be worth speaking with a counselor or a spiritual advisor If you believe this is a spiritual matter, or a therapist, depending on how bad it is or depending on I wouldn't even say how bad it is. It doesn't even have to be bad. You still can help or speak to a therapist or a spiritual counselor. So it don't even have to just be super bad, even at the first point where you just think that, okay, I'm going through this, I don't even know what this is. Six spiritual or faith-based approach. So if you're concerned, it's spiritual, as in the case of a monitoring spirit, many people turn to prayer, spiritual welfare practices or seek the guidance of a spiritual leader.

Speaker 1: 10:45

Praying for protection, like asking for divine protection or intermission, can provide peace of mind and help shield you from negative influences. Or cleansing rituals or spiritual counseling. If you're into things like that, like in some traditions, individuals may undergo spiritual cleansing or work with a counselor to help remove negative influences, if that's your thing. Legal or professional help if that's your thing Legal or professional help, like if you feel like you're being stopped or harassed legal options may be available and they are available, you know, maybe like if you ain't touting your help and got your gut on deck or whatever, like you know so like, such as like restraining orders or reporting the behavior to authorities. You know, like in extreme cases, if it's crucial to you, know, you just need to ensure your safety and wellbeing by involving the proper authorities if that's the case, if it gets that bad, you know.

Speaker 1: 11:43

So I would just say, like, with monetary experience, like you have to watch certain people on certain things, like certain people could be there for some like little malicious intent or just to try to help themselves, be like like little malicious intent or just try to help they stuff get like a little boost or they just need I don't care if it's as much as staying at your house, you know, or needing a couple hours to live here or this is that I don't care what it is money, any of that. Like people is that's fucked up, that people do shit like that no matter what they feel, like they they are old or like that people just need to be 100 and they're not. So I mean, the best course of action like really depends on the specifics of the situation. Like trust your judgment and like prioritize your well-being and safety at all times is all I'm going to say, because these people out here they be on surreal ish and it's it's really hard. It's hard to trust these people. It is really hard to trust these people to the point where they'll have you not wanting to really be around anybody because you don't even know what the intent of the of you know the person is. If everybody, if them there's nine out of nine times, nine out of ten people in your life come around on some malicious behavior and they just trying to be around for something that's gonna benefit them or whatever the case, they you know, they, it you know it might be that makes a person not really want to deal or fuck with nobody. Then it makes it hard for people that come around and they they are real people, they real motherfucking people they not know trying to use the motherfuckers you know, and they're not on no time like this. But when you are around multiple people or not even around, like most people that come around you, they own that malicious intent type to monitoring spirit type shit. It makes you not even want to have friends and other shit because you don't know who who's talking about you in the other room. Like they say, vets leads to other rooms. So when you vent to people you have to watch who you vent to, because vets lead to other rooms and when those vets lead to other rooms, meaning that that information that you've been into to that person most likely it done made it to another room and you be thinking that you talking to somebody that's gonna help you or give you an idea. But when you talking to somebody and you asking them a question, or you got some shit going on and they ain't got shit to say, they don't really know or I don't know. They never on no try to tell you what you should do or you know, this isn't that like you gotta watch people like this? I didn't think nothing of it at first. I thought it was like no, they just probably, you know, just wants to go, and now they really don't give a fuck, they don't care, they don't care. And I don't have some homeboys. You know that. Show me what type of person they really are. So you know, and homegirls. So now you really added her. Added her to the board with no need to even reach back out to me. So but yeah, all right, y'all, I'm gonna get out of here. That's enough with this monitoring spirit type shit, because I don't need none of them monitoring demonic motherfuckers coming around. So y'all already know what it is it's your girl.
