More On Telepathy


I have read online somewhere that the cells in the brain that are responsible for telepathy are the ends of the neurons, called "dendrites". I think these areas are activated in people who report telepathic awareness. In my case there was a psychic denuding, experiencing a sense of mental nudity, but I think things went further, so that there was a raising of awareness, becoming more actively telepathic, and that there was some damage done also to this part of me, leaving uncomfortable openness and spiritual vulnerability. That's what I think: I opened and opened and opened until I broke my mind. It is in this damaged inner space that angry spirits intrude and can successfully exert some dominating force (possessing my thinking). Things are broken in there, to my disadvantage. And these souls also will direct malevolence to other people through my telepathic power. And God doesn't stop them. (I stop them by not watching much TV or going to theatre, concerts and so on). God doesn't stop them. It's God's wisdom that puts individual freedom ahead of group well-being. Freedom is more important; every free moment is a moment for self-discovery, meaning that God does not step in and therefore deny to the unquiet souls the opportunity to consciously become salvation-minded  

But it hurts!

Why... how can I describe the last thirteen years of mental struggle and slow evolution? The first point is that those who go before have gained knowledge that can ease the paths of those who follow. That's a great thing. To one day help someone progress past obstacles and avoid unnecessary suffering.

Interesting that a description of this journey also means tackling referring to the world of Spirit, and referring to being mistreated by 'demonic' spirits. All the time "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger", healing goes on and one day there won't be room for intruders to come in and cause upset.


By the way, well done for getting past the bit about broadcasting telepathy, if you got past it!! I know this is a topic vulnerable to skepticism, but it's something that happens. The condition here can be summed up as "telepathic openness in connection with demonic beings". This is the point which my sanity hangs on!! I have a joke that if you don't ask me about ESP or demons, then I am just as normal as anyone else. Actually this is like a religious belief that someone else does not share, an irreconcilable difference in belief that is respectfully overcome by tolerance. That's it. Being psychically active and not in immediate harmony with the spirit world we now encounter is the diagnosis. 

I prayed just a moment ago, thinking of the Virgin Mary, and I heard a female voice comment that I was sending out a wish to be met by Mary's white light (the auric energy of white light, which is God's 'colour', God's energy).  I often pray to her, but never thought about her light. The Virgin Mary is a very serious intercessor for each of us. She will always care for those who look to her for help.There is a kind of conflict going on in my mind, with the others taking delight in injury - they are unquiet souls, emotionally out of touch with God's nature, and finding more happiness in being full of hate. 

Another "hearing", from my (deceased) father, said to a spirit nearby (an unhappy wanderer), may be what you wish to read: "We ask of you the same that we ask of [...me, Mr S]: that you are not submissive". This is the key, then. Even if we cannot beat them in force, we can find peace and detachment and godliness in refusing to feel small and worthless. We are worthy of honour. We are part of a living Universe whose power transcends all conflicts. We need not feel afraid. This is a very important point. Essentially, it means that we should peacefully be aware of our dignity in the presence of an opposing force. Not to cower or beg; not to rage or injure, but assert that you and your well-being matter. To meet psychological attack with a higher awareness. 



There is some good information in this . Why do some people have their psychology upside down? Why are they hateful? God didn't make them that way.
What an amazing thing it must be for the Heavenly ones to restrain themselves from adding to conflict no Earth, or restrain themselves too from taking away suffering when it is in God's wisdom for the suffering to continue.

Terms Of Warfare! Important Post and Ideas About "Evil"

I had some thoughts about the situation of being under the invasive influence of spiritual beings. The idea is to be accurate and loving at the same time - rather than waste energy and cause problems from using language that is wrong or aggressive.

Demon: As previously noticed, the word demon is confusing at best; in its root it means Master. It is used by us to denote malevolent beings in spirit. Firstly, "Hate the sin not the sinner", so identify bad behaviour without making a spirit person a bad being - for nothing God made is bad, I believe. Secondly, these spirits are trying to 'master' us, which is no mastery, but a crude power play that does not prosper in Eternity and in the God's Universe. So I would avoid using the word demon to describe malevolent spirits.

Devil: I don't believe that there is a duality in the Universe of God versus the Devil with our souls in the balance - I do not believe in those terms. No big Devil. However, there are clearly beings, people, in spirit with evil will, who wish to cause great harm - and the less we have to do with the, the better, though we can pray for them. Those spirits we could call devils, just like we could call them demons - but what good does that do? They are truly souls gone astray, requiring the love of God (and us) and redemption and prayer. Labels of good and evil set up division, which is as much as to say they create further conflict. So I would avoid calling them devils. It's also a kind of insult - again, aggression - and it perpetuates conflict.

Spiritual Warfare: do you really wish to cleanse the entire space between Earth and Heaven single-handed? I suggest not - there's too much, and Life is too valuable to spend any longer than necessary dealing with anything opposed to personal evolution and fulfilment. Don't declare war on all of darkness in spirit. He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day. It may be a minor point, but I prefer to think in terms of psychological warfare, as understood by Earthly war-makers, or psychological abuse as understood by psychologists - these philosophies allow us to think productively about the situation of psycho-spiritual attack.

Exorcism: I prefer the term spirit release, which has benign connotations, rather than the 'loaded' word "exorcism".



- The point is that we use language that is helpful. Language full of anger promotes conflict. Language of compassion promotes peace ("peace between" and "peace inside"). Let's not throw insults at (powerful) spirits who are not like us in approach to Life, and let's not declare war on the entire reality of pain. Better to focus on what is good, as metaphysical teachers say. Have a spiritual mission without having confrontation as one's central purpose. Peacefulness can fight (or the innocent would be overrun by evil), so we "Fight the good fight with all our might," as the Christian hymn goes. Peacefulness can fight, but it does so with a pure heart. Peacefulness can fight and unleash total aggression, but it's dominant psychology is always purity and goodness as generally understood by the human race down the ages. So we live in love, we do not live to hate. We live in peace through all that leads to peace. After all, if our final goal is to have power over another, we are the same as what has been called 'demon', or evil...


I had a dream of two enemies. one was pure of heart, the other was not pure of heart. They fought each other, killing each other again and again, and again and again they had the strength of mind to resurrect themselves and to fight each other. The one of lesser purity warred on the other, and the other had to fight back. It is the story of nemesis. Two equals who war.
In the end the pure one had the strength to self-resurrect and kill the other one last time. His purity had given him the extra power to live in peace. This is the tragic story of pain, that one can be driven by pain - and perhaps envy - to trouble another, even in ultimate ways. But, in eternity, the good always overcomes. There is change, and restoration of Joy. There is beautification and remembrance of love. Even if that means death (which is but a gateway to a greater reality), Light and Love always win. "Lux omnia Vincit" - Light always triumphs; and "Amor omnia vincit" - Love always triumphs; - these are two similar and valuable Latin mottoes. In the end the Light is not glad to kill the enemy, but sees the bigger picture where Life goes on, and is quietly glad in the righteous peace that has been gained.

I don't believe that peace must be passive. We can meet evil with strength and with enough strength, evil is dispersed and then there is peace. I suppose evil is Life in relationship with other members of Life in ways that are harmful to the Whole; Life need not be destroyed to give peace to the Whole, it is merely necessary to heal and restore the relations between the 'members' of Life.


Wishing you peace, peace and peace, and wishing you harmony with The All,

New Ideas On Pyscho-Spiritual Well-Being

Firstly, "Wahoo!!" - I am happy because for a week or so I have been trying to write new posts here but been unable to because of a blogger.com bug, but I have just found a workaround on their Help page. "Wahoo!" again!!



Okay, to all of you out there Internet-land looking for advice and guidance on your psycho-spiritual well-being (which I define as your happiness with your mental health and personal boundaries as a person who is "psychic" (I mean, anyone who is aware of extra-sensory phenomena). Extra-sensory perception. Can bring problems. Chronic, chronic problems. Many people offer help with chronic problems to do with extra-sensory phenomena; I've seen a few, I will see more, but to be honest, my faith in them (so far) is low.


What do I think helps?

First of all, sitting quietly, letting your own mind unravel its way to a positive solution either under its own power or through Divine infusion of ideas.

Second, meditation; binding your subtle energy to the Earth and Its core; holding the feeling of what your preferred state is like (I mean 'imagining' and holding feelings of peace, of safety, of privacy); and, most seriously, holding the intention to be peaceful (to be peaceful in every way - that is, to be untroubled, have good relations with the world of spirit and feel calm).

Thirdly, change your focus. At some level there must be a way for you to powerfully shift your focus and give more of yourself to the world, or to receive more from the world. You can be over-giving (all mental effort towards goodness and integrity, and all benevolence) and at the same time you might be both not giving to others in a way that is practical (because all your energy is in putting out good vibrations through mental effort) and you are exhausted and needing to be cared for in some way (that is, you are needing to receive from others and from God).


One major insight for me to share is that intention is very important. Intend to be healthy. Intend to be happy. Intend to be peaceful.

Will is like a muscle and can be strengthened. Intention that is strong creates mindfulness of purpose. Keep reminding yourself of your wish, and you will remember more and move towards your desired state of being!

But everyone is in a unique situation and circumstance. Some may already be strong-willed. For me, I realised that strong intention is better than many auspicious external items, whether they be gemstones, religious items such as medals, or flower essences for psychic protection. Still, I find value in them, some of those things, but better than external things, for me at least, is will power. Insight: willpower creates one's own personal boundaries. Prepare to become a stronger person.

I had some insights about Domination. Simply, I noticed my thoughts were being changed through the mind-force of a spirit or group of spirits on the 'subtle', spiritual level. (We could call these spirits evil, but we would be better saying that they are spirit-people choosing what is evil, they are choosing what is very unloving.) Dominion and domination, in the origins of those words, indicate someone extending mastery over another (not true mastery, not mastery of the way of Life, but the gross and simple mastery chosen in ignorance, that of one being over another). It is a power play. One being finds it gratifying to 'dominate' another. I mention this because it refers to will power. Strong will cannot dominate strong will, by and large. Strong will can only dominate a lesser will.

They also say that knowledge is power. Spiritual knowledge gives strength before a spiritual adversary. Such as the realisation that no being or group of beings can dominate another forever. - That effort to dominate another simply does not work over eternity, given the nature of Reality. Not all the fear in the world or all the fear that could ever be is stronger than that principle of sustainability versus unsustainable relationships and actions.

When contemplating domination and dominion the other morning, I realised that I should shift my focus - this time from what is sad and upsetting (domination efforts by another towards me) - to what is truly strong and poisitive (which for me is Deity).


Lastly, if you need to, smile, and relax. You may well be holding onto tension in your body right now. (I wished to write that, then realised, as I was writing that I was holding tension in my body, in my abdomen! I then spontaneously took a breath in and breathed out, relaxing!) Oh yes - and smiling could help relax your mind, too (that important part of you all and me I am writing about here)!

Good luck to you all in defining and reclaiming your personal boundaries.

Hope

Remember Hope.


This is one of the most important lessons I have to impart to those in a situation like mine. Hope to one day be free of disturbance.

I realised one day that I could have hope, and that I had been living without it.

I have now seen a spiritual healer twice; as I have recounted, the first time I saw him I was restored to health, albeit temporarily, which was a minor miracle for me! Then I saw him again two years later, and there was not much of a noticeable change; he did say however that he had faith I would become free of the beings (people, like bullies) who were attempting to dominate me. I was disappointed - for all I've said on this blog about how spiritual healing can save you - I had hoped he would heal me. I still hope there is someone out there who can heal me. But this person said that the key was for me to be assertive with these intruders. This assertiveness means having the strength to effectively assert my rights, or even to declare to the universe exactly what is or is not acceptable with me.

This daily interaction has changed me and made me able to be civil in the face of aggression, and to retain a sense of dignity - not only do I assert my own rights, but I assert the rights of others - and indeed this is the meaning of assertiveness (to assert only one's own rights could be the definition of aggression).

But I have hope.

One sector of society, as we are today, seems to say that to hear any kind of voice is madness and a fiction. But I know this and still have faith in the reality of the voices I hear. One such voice said that I would be in a good 'place' by 2012...

I am interested in all religions; the Buddha says that if someone applies themselves to doing good, even if at first their efforts are unfruitful, in the end the person will be successful, "and then their efforts will bear fruit indeed."

It takes a lot of virtue to counteract a bully in your mind, a bully who is stronger than you are, [stronger in one sense, but not the highest sense]. I read recently that evil can only make you suffer; and this power, as we know, is a negative power - positive powers of love and healing and service are far greater than injury.

And eventually, "Amor omnia vincit" (Latin, love conquers all). There is in the universe a level at which all beings are healed, a point that darkness cannot penetrate. Since Life is change, healing must come to all beings and nothing can persist in malice forever.

We have rights, and there is Order in the universe that likes to see rights upheld, and does so for the happy progress of all created beings.

So have hope; and in the meantime follow your path and look for health - and whoever seeks, finds, as Christian believers are taught.
