entities - experience with some good guys and some bad

[Randhir Rawatlal]

Hola!
Yes, I'm an on-again off-again projector, trying to take it more seriously at the moment. I'm writing because I found a pretty inspiring thread on this website so I wanted to share an experience that involved meeting three entities, one with whom I am acquainted in 'real' life.

Anyway: I involuntarily projected one night, and saw a little impish astral creature crouched over my sleeping physical body, whispering horrible things in my ear. It was obvious the creature was trying to program me. In my mind's eye, my parents' religious leader appeared, pointed to it and said something to me like: "You see? This is the result of it." - I knew he meant my interest in the mysteries of life without being prepared for it. You have to understand, astral projections and a couple of other 'mind' experiences happen to me naturally from time to time, so I'm pretty relaxed about getting involved in practices without doing all kinds of purification and spiritual mumbo-jumbo stuff etc etc., and i think it used to irritate him. Once I'd been building up my energy body, and he practically jumped out of his skin when he saw me. Guess I looked kinda shiny heh heh

Anyway: I think he was hoping i'd be terrified or something, but i really felt FURIOUS. I mean, the thing crouched over me was saying some pretty nasty stuff. My ears are not a toilet!

So, I went after it; I mean I really lit into it. I just started punching like crazy, and the thing looked at me as if to say 'oh ♥♥♥♥♥'. I assumed it would be much stronger (it looked a bit like a gargoyle, even had the wings), but it was actually very weak.. pretty brittle in fact. Crunchy, even.
As I punched, I could feel I was breaking wings and arms and ribs, and I don't know when I stopped. But I could feel this religious leader of my parents' at first really startled at me being so angry, then he tried to stop me, then he just faded away.

Anyway: A while later, somebody was transporting me somewhere. He looked like these spiritual-type people, and in a slightly geeky way, but he was also a bit cool in that he was just amused by everything, didn't seem phased by anything, completely thrilled with himself always. Just barely on the right side of the crazy line, to be honest.

So he took me into some kind of structure where this religious leader was. So the leader didn't really want to see me, but this guy was giving his own speech and didn't seem worried that no-one want to hear it. He said something like 'i am a person of monastic inclinations' - that was a phrase that stuck in my head.. the rest was something about that I was going to be travelling around anyway, can he please give me some help or something. And I think this religious leader put some kind of shield on me.

Next morning, i awoke (in the usual way) and thought to myself 'pfft! shields. i got my shields right here' - i was flexing my muscles to myself. Just then, my hand brushed my shoulder and I freaked out. It was a series of scratches at my neck where the entity had been trying to push itself away from me with its claws. I guess it made the whole thing very real to me; i normally only half-believe my projections, but claw-marks on your skin is indisputable. I also didn't really think my astral gallivanting could affect my physical body.

I don't want my experience to alarm anyone; i don't think there is serious danger out there, and i do believe we are more than powerful enough to protect ourselves.

Astral travelling is not something i seriously pursue; it's filed more under nice-to-do-but-too-much-bother right now. I do occasionally project without intending; then it reminds me, and i start trying to do it until i get somewhere and then the interest fades again. What really interests me are the prelim things you need to do if you want to do it seriously: the concentration, awareness and relaxation training. These are extremely valuable in my day-work and creative pursuits. I think of projecting and Lucid Dreaming and psi-balls as cool side-effects that help keep my interest alive in cultivating greater concentration, awareness, and relaxation/above-body-consciousness.

Also, as much as I pretend otherwise, by the end of the day, i do actually respect the opinions of people like my parents' religious leader and others of his calibre. If only they could do what they do in a cooler way.. so serious and stiff as it is.. You know, I always seem to have these spiritual-type people in my life, but i never really feel comfortable around them. On the other hand, 'normal' people are pretty undisciplined, take ages to understand and do anything, and, well, not as CLEAR. And I'm like a monkey in the middle. anyway, hope you found that interesting; thanks for all the other stories on here.

Best,
R

yes, i think so.. the face was narrower, and it had some wing/flap-type things.. what is that?
