Guard yourself from undue influences of other's thoughts and attitudes about you
Every metaphysical Spiritual tradition I have ever studied has included (some more practically or more esoterically than others) a component of awareness of self and learning control of one's own thoughts, visualizations, intentions, attitudes and expectations of others, as well as another component of perceiving and correctly interpreting the intent of the flows of the above from others towards one self, and learning how to protect, ground or defend oneself...especially against subtle or hidden hypnotism and aggressive mental suggestion.
A couple such pertinent famous phrases are: "Stand porter at the door of thought. Admitting only such conclusions as you wish realized in bodily results, you will control yourself harmoniously." - Mary Baker Eddy
And:
"The mild forms of animal magnetism are disappearing, and its aggressive features are coming to the front. The looms of crime, hidden in the dark recesses of mortal thought, are every hour weaving webs more complicated and subtle. So secret are the present methods of animal magnetism that they ensnare the age into indolence, and produce the very apathy on the subject which the criminal desires. The following is an extract from the Boston Herald: "Mesmerism [hypnotism] is a problem not lending itself to an easy explanation and development. It implies the exercise of despotic control, and is much more likely to be abused by its possessor, than otherwise employed, for the individual or society." M.B.E.
(Resonate with anyone about some kinds of COS mental "processing"?)

And it was even part of the church rules in one tradition I studied!
Example~ "Regularly practices “A Rule for Motives and Acts” found in the Church Manual. Daily defends their own consciousness from aggressive mental suggestion and animal magnetism. Relies on spiritual inspiration and intuition to determine right action and to meet the individual need."
"A Rule for Motives and Acts -
Neither animosity nor mere personal attachment should impel the motives or acts of the members of The Mother Church. In Science, divine Love alone governs man; and a Christian Scientist reflects the sweet amenities of Love, in rebuking sin, in true brotherliness, charitableness, and forgiveness. The members of this Church should daily watch and pray to be delivered from all evil, from prophesying, judging, condemning, counseling, influencing or being influenced erroneously."
Church Manual p.40 - M.B.E.
So I am delighted to hear Hatty and others of my friends here on this thread are mulling these concepts over!
I'm in!
Love you guys! I think good thoughts about you all every day! 
And Ted dear, please don't ever half-ack me!

When I was 4 we had a little secret creek in the Mojave deset off of Route 6. The stream came down from Mt. Baldy and someone had stocked it with little minnows. What a treasure to have your own secret water hole!
I've actually had to date/locate one contribution. One, believe it or not came via body fluid containing some particles of LSD stored in (wherever) from yrs earlier. It actually latched into my core somewhere in the vacinity of my uterus and grew to be the whole size of the interior of my body. It was flat, made of an astral like fluid, translucent yellowish green, and highly electronic. I was not born with this. That is something I would love to send back. Only I got it when it was an embryo so I can't send it back as it was created. Tragically I'm thinking of those little water monkeys that you put into a fish bowl and then they grow up to the shape designed. You would not believe how much review auditing I used up trying to handle psychic stuff. I was sure everything I needed was at the bottom of that black bag of tech tricks to use on me. But no...ya come up with this shit and you just earn yourself and FES.
