Grant Morrison wrote a comic series with a character that looked very similar to him. This character got hurt and ended in the hospital, the same thing happened to the writer. He also claimed that women he wrote in the comic manifested in his life.
He was experimenting with magic and it was very powerful. How did he do that?
It was a form of object association, he literally created a poppet of himself (unaware) and clearly seemed to see and view it as himself on a very powerful and connected level. I used to put myself in my own stories as well until I started seeing this same trend and realized what I was doing.
He tied into who he was in the story so much that whatever happened to the character manifested upon him. Creating a vessel for yourself and connecting to it as your own embodiment is creating a poppet of yourself, and visualizing/intending things to happen to the vessel is no different than if you were to visualize and intend for it all to actually happen to the real you.
It's the laws of the poppet and energy association, that's all. The astral doesn't understand the difference, he made it so that both of himself are the same thing.
