I didn't know it then, but I was vibrating in a fear state so I was attracting all of these negative entities and experiences to me. If I were you, I would work on raising your vibration to a state where these entities cannot reach you. YOu've got to close the door on them, so to speak.
Cleanse your chakras, call upon the archangel Michael, and ask your guides to assist you whenever you are feeling fear.
Now I know you said you are not afraid... neither was I. I was determined to take that demon down, and eventually I did (took about 4 months though). But the truth is that I was resonating with a fear energy and attracting them to me.
It's okay to fight demons, but it can be exhausting and it can really drain your energy. So be careful out there. You might want to ask your guides why the demons are attacking you. Could be insightful. |
I'm sorry but I think these comments are delusional?
Demons, devils, evil spirits, penetrate religious activity, but where do they come from?
Traditional belief systems. Belief systems pre-industrial revolution where their primary goal was to dominate the peasants that bought into their beliefs.
Read Machiavelli. He says a virtuous Prince will rule with the face of Christ on his side, but betray him to serve himself. This is the capitalist model.
I just cannot believe an adult woman who is intelligent and well read can really suspend disbelief about these issues IN A LITERAL SENSE! I can understand interpreting a dream as a metaphor, I just had a dream that was very literal: I left a college party because I thought they would get in trouble from smoking marijuana with little children around. I left the room and outside a security guard was there doing nothing. I walked back to my room where, outside of the complex, a bunch of drunk kids were lying around the door. They all laughed at me as I waded through the crowd, but I laughed (at them) as it happened, feeling no emotional attachment to these people I did not value. I got to the door, realizing I left my backpack at the beginning of the crowd, and instead of wading through the crowd again, I asked them to bring me my backpack which they did. I assume that since I wasn't outcome oriented, I gained their respect.
That's about as literal as they get (strange as I've been having many of these recently) and it was very meaningful. I went to bed last night asking the question, "Why am I afraid of doing the things I tell myself I want to do?"
I guess I answered the question with a subconscious affirmation.
Anyway, Erin I don't mean to be disrespectful but I honestly want to know how you reconcile the context of your beliefs with the beliefs themselves. Do you believe that these beliefs arose from an external (supernatural) entity?
I think this makes sense but I have never heard of a paranormal activity that isn't directly related to traditional beliefs in paranormal activity (again a mechanism of dominance within patriarchal societies). Demons, dragons, ghosts, Loc Ness.
They are all things we've heard of and then experience, not experience and then tell others about.
I thought, when I was three, that I would be reincarnated as a butterfly, after I died. Did I have a pure belief in reincarnation? No, I adapted the metaphoric change of a caterpillar into a butterfly into a religious experience.
Again, I don't mean to be immature or disrespectful but I have a hard time grasping how highly educated people can buy into this stuff.
Here's how I reconcile these beliefs in general. I accept a partial philosophical belief in idealism--that the ideas of an entity, if believed strongly enough, can penetrate reality through your mind. I think we all ascribe to these beliefs if we believe in intention manifestation.
I've had these things happen. I've been so paranoid about balding that it literally saturated my reality and thinking. It has been an emotional battle to champion these irrational beliefs.
So why do some people subject themselves to Hamlet-isms? They improve your life, via your belief system. You, Erin, are clearly a HARD idealist (ENFP, I think). These beliefs/sights/delusions make you happy.
But I don't like it when people say that these things come from someplace other than here, from some history other than ours. I find this thinking to be ignorant in a very literal sense (ignoring).
I'm very interested in what you all have to say.
