Can we ever heal an evil destiny?

I find this very thought-provoking.
I got this following letter from a reader. With his permission I post it here – cause really, his predicament surpasses my ability to give him a proper answer. So maybe those of you reading this might have a clue out of his plight.
Here it is:
“I am truly puzzled.
There is something within me which somehow quashes and steals my healthy perception. To such extent that I end up being a stranger in my own life – insofar as I am out of touch with my potential.
I am not a so-called religious person, but my situation can be very well illustrated with this excerpt:
“I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.”- Romans 7-20
Thing is that this malevolent…

Have you ever experienced that in your own life?
– Yes. Who did not? Were we born as saints or like playful children with a monkey nature?
Do you therefore have any idea HOW one can deal with and neutralize this outlandish energy thieves?
– Yes. In silent meditation breath deeply, let things flow, like your energy thieves passes you by in a violent rapid that destroys things in its path, let it flow and see fully how it happens but also how it begins to slow down and finally flow so slow that the river starts to get clear. Finally you will see the bottom of the river. Then when you know the cause of your behaviour you can begin to change it if you want. Then you can effectively re-wire your thinking pattern creating new ways of actions in different situations. This will increase mindfulness.
Sometimes I wonder if I should seek the help of a shaman of sorts to help me out of this spell which really poisons and robes me of my life force?…”
– One should definitely try to experience different things in a lifetime. What ever you experience, write it down and try to relate it to your own ideas of what it might mean!
Thank you for your valuable point of view.
It’s noteworthy you have stepped out this way.
Permit me to humbly and heartily offer:
TBS talked [on the sister blog] about looking inward at yourself because a big part of the issue might be the approach you have to issues/people which then affects how things turn out or how others react to you (and you may not even know this about yourself). It may sound trite, but this interestingly ends up being true.
In this case, therefore, I advise you discuss with someone close to you, or someone in a small community you belong to, who might help you see some unusual things about your perception of issues and approach to life.
Notwithstanding, you have gone as far as mentioning a shaman and making a curious reference to the book of Romans; and so, I will not be too quick to dismiss the possibility -that you have tried the previous suggestions, and need something more. Therefore, please permit me add this:
It is noteworthy you have made reference to Romans, and I suggest you also look outside yourself. You may not be the only player in this story. I suggest you start by settling down to the next chapter of that book, ie., Romans 8. You may find a worthy way forward there.
I heartily wish you well.
I, alongside the apparently humble and plain Julien, do not suppose to have suddenly magically resolved the darkness for you. So, I’d be available for clarifications at krystophyr@yahoo.com .
Thank you, Julien.
