Magical Power

Did you know that in some cultures, the power to bless and curse is only believed to reside in witches? It is my belief that everyone carries these powers. That doesn't make everyone witches, but it does make everyone powerful and part of a spiritual reality. Life is characterised by power, and by change. We must match the power of Life with our own self-esteem: only when we cultivate grandeur that matches Life can we hope to be at peace with Life in this world, and hope to go on living effectively and with strength. In a position of strength, we cannot easily be overpowered or intimidated.
Well-being is in an attitude of strength, and well-being is in practices that bring strength - like prayer, meditation and communion with Nature or like-minded spiritual believers. Well-being is also in unity consciousness and good, kind moral deeds. Or it may be in therapies or medicinal intervention.

I believe that it must be that the sensitivity to magical power, and degrees of magical powerfulness itself must vary in all people. Thus some can bless or curse, and some can be more sensitive to it than others. But at any rate, there is nothing to fear. Even if you are sure that you are affected by a person or spirit's negative will, there is nothing to fear.


The English writer of some few hundred years ago called Dr Johnson once criticised those who "discourse like angels, but live like men", that is, he expects us to "walk our talk". I am conscious here that I speak of my understanding - and that integrating my understanding is an ongoing process. It is enough to understand the benefits of feeling big in power, (matching Life's great grandeur) and to remember that feeling from time to time. If I had already completed this awareness in myself, I would no longer suffer from the mischief and malice of spirit people! Make yourself 'huge' to match the huge life issue, whatever it may be.




Good luck to all of you, readers - but maybe you make your own good luck? ;)

A Reminder for Life: Be Strong

Not to plagiarise a book I've been reading too heavily, but when you are suffering a kind of injustice, you can take on negative thinking that does not suit your nature.

"I would have a normal life if it wasn't for X"

"If it wasn't for X, I could be happy"

As soon as you blame like this - and I have been very guilty of this, too - you mentally put the power to change your situation into another's hands. They have responsibility to change your life for the better; is that true? On analysis no, we always have the power to change our circumstances for the better.

Me, I would have a job and a mate. I would be strong and happy. If only I had my righful peace, privacy and safety. - Is that true? Am I completely passive in this situation? No. With hope and wise choices and courage, I can change everything.


Just because you are being treated badly, doesn't mean you have to respond by being weakened.

Curses. Some important statements

No matter how cursed you feel (and I feel like I am followed round by a black cloud, often, that weighs on my feelings immovably), you have to realise a few things,  - some positive things.

I believe in a deity, so that means, when I feel cursed, I have forgotten that the deity is stronger than all other beings and I have forgotten the central premise of most world religions (I dare say - mine at least!) that the deity is benevolent. In other words, there is a bigger blessing on me than there is ill will focused on me. Always.

Secondly, there is hope. All things balance up. Curses have to be broken. The Universe, existence, whose way is evolution, (which means progress that is positive overall), cannot allow such negative attachments and sorrow as curses. No curse is eternal, unlike blessings, which go on being beneficial energy forever, I guess.

Thirdly, All is one. People who curse are behaving ignorantly, spiritually speaking. Religions like Buddhism teach us about interconnectedness. All life is one. Hurt me and you hurt yourself. This is the mystic circle behind the Golden Rule (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you). At some stage the one who curses will come to feel their malice in themselves, and so they must relent. Cause injury and you hurt the universal fabric - hurt me and you hurt God.

I have written before that I heard an elderly woman, who appeared to be in spirit near me (not a living person in dense form like you or me), say to me "Cursed be you and all your seed." That's a generational curse. (I have felt cursed very often, but have never heard any curses, apart from on that occasion). Ultimately, I think we can individually and completely turn our fortune around. In other words, through focusing on trouble, I brought more trouble into my life, through the spiritual law of attraction - and I can reverse that process and live in pure happiness. I also think that if that lady really knew me as I am, at my best, she would not curse me, not at all. Obviously there is a lot of negativity associated with me that I need to clear. Spiritually I am haunted by spirit presences, and mentally I am harassed by spirits, and all this is dependent on my energetic vibration. However, an important lesson in Life is that however frightening it appears, we need not be afraid. Perhaps I can make peace with this lady, and she will release me from her anger; or perhaps God will heal her of her unhappiness. In fact, I know, God will heal her. And God will heal all those who attack me. It's what God does! A malevolent soul is a soul that has become distant from Divine Nature in its awareness - so we must merely pray for awareness of Unity to reign again. All is one.


So I believe through strong will we can affect each other's minds, and that it is easier for spirits to do this, should they wish. But Love is always calling to us and reminding us of our nature, when we are forgetful. Love takes away hate and the reasons for hate. Love makes all things well.


Today I have been reading about joy, how we can change EVERYTHING in our lives when we choose joy - keep on looking for the joyful thing to do on a daily basis. When I choose joyful activities, I raise my energetic vibration and that is universally healing.

God is such a Being who allows us the power to be ourselves even when we are forgetful of ourselves. We may think we are hateful creatures, and in that moment, we still have power. But the real nature of existence is so much stronger. Glory to power! God gives us power. But loving use of power is, we discover, the greatest manifestation of power. Everyone on Earth is each at a different awareness of their personal power, which allows one to mistreat another, whether on the physical level or the supernatural. In the end, the way of evolution is coexistence and cooperation, not competition and domination (which is a different belief than the one we have inherited from Darwin!), and we will all come to this understanding on Earth and in Heaven.



Wow! Have I been in a spiritual mood with this post! There you go... enjoy. And remember, All is One.


With best wishes from Mr S



PS It occurred to me after writing this post that every one of us is powerful, having the ability to be a positive or negative influence. So let's not forget that each one of us can bless. I didn't want to make the whole perspective here a fearful one.
God is always blessing. We can choose to bless as well. And if we feel some being is resisting our happiness, we can turn our attention to God, and thus change our awareness - change our luck and how we feel.

Is it so simple? Everyone is at different places in their spirituality. It may be easy for the more advanced to place their awareness on God and gain feelings of security. At present, I make such gains by faith, rather than through direct awareness. But I believe God is within (and everywhere), so I can meditate and turn my attention inwards, to my heart space (where we are taught by mystics that God lives in each of us). My knowledge and faith, however, do not  stop me from having an occasional spiritual crisis - where is God? Does God care?

I know God can have a voice, and can match our intellects with his own, and speak to us clearly, should he choose to - but largely he doesn't seem so keen on that (although it is said that actually we are always in communication). But spiritual teachers will say that awareness of the Divine can be developed, that we can come to hear God, feel God's love, know God. For me, this is, as I just wrote, a case of faith at present, and in my normal, happier moments, I seek to reach out my awareness to God's.

The great persian mystic Rumi wrote that mercy is everywhere for us, continually flowing, but people don't realise that this is so. That's a good thing to acknowledge and understand. It gives a good feeling. Truly, we live in Love. Let us choose to be harmonious with God, with the Divine Love.

AMAZING FEELINGS

After over ten years of daily psychic warfare, resisting evil, I now feel like I can give guidance to others who may be going through the same thing. I know I have been doing so here on this blog, but now I feel I can answer specific questions on it. If you wish to leave me a question, put it in the comments here, or anywhere on this blog.

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,

02 June 2011 Notes

No complaints. I don't hear complaints from the spirits around me stuck on Earth. Some of them are vituperative, rude. Some are fairly friendly.

If you could listen to my thoughts, you would know that I sometimes complain, and that I wonder what can make up for ten years of mental hardship being psychologically abused from within my mind space.

Some years ago I went to a doctor and asked for pain medicine to ease my mental suffering. "What do you mean, mental pain? Do you mean emotional pain?" He wasn't sure what I meant, and I wish I'd told him that the pain I feel is the same pain that we humans feel when someone insults us or uses rude language towards us. That would have made things clearer.

Mediumistic psychic attack at the conscious level, which must be extremely rare, parallels psychological abuse of all kinds, whether between married people or as a form of interrogation and torture. I have insight into that mental control that can take place as one tries to dominate another, noticing that it might work by "second-guessing" another, for example, or in some way preventing them from being 'assertive' and mentally strong to the extent that they cannot express themselves in ordinary sentences of speech without being contradicted. I go through some pretty major insults and trickery and 'obfuscation', as if they are toying with me (playful malice), but I am lucky in that they do not attempt to take away my power to be assertive. It is more a case of discrediting and insulting me, which is a kind of psychic violence.

Why do words hurt?

Why can words of insult or coarseness cause injury and irritation?

A secondary symptom is that I hear so much that I get comments from Earthbound spirits around me to the effect that I get a sore mind from being exposed to a sense of humour (jokes) that are far from what I feel is good. We are chalk and cheese. Why is it there are so many of these spirits? they all have the same rude sense of humour!, be it sexist, racist, or otherwise plainly excessively mischievous.

The Christian tradition calls such spirits, Earthbound ones, "Spiritus immundus" (singular), impure spirits. They certainly are that in their humour! And that humour 'perfectly' blends into hostile and abusive psychic energy.

I once went to an abbey, and heard a priestly voice say, with pity, "you are unclean". He meant that I am spiritually defiled (and I suppose also contagious) through being subject to mental intercourse with spirits of impure emotionality and intent. Strange to hear that from a spirit. (The definition of unclean I just gave was from a dictionary).

The troublesome spirits cause confusion, whether by actually interfering with my body language in public situations making me seem untrustworthy (! - true, such is their influence over my psyche), and also misleading others, higher or earthbound, spirits about my thoughts. Now I ring an imaginary bell to indicate that I am under attack, and it actually helps clarify for those spirits around me what is going on. (This must be hard to understand! But these are the facts of my everyday life). When the troublesome spirits mess with my thoughts to make them unpleasant and rude, it often is not just an injury to me but it looks for an instant like they are exactly my thoughts. So now I ring the bell (like lepers used to do to signify they were 'unclean' and contagious). The bell helps to signify that there is spiritual danger to anyone in spirit who notices.

OK, that was too hard to understand and believe, I'm sure. But I feel my normal self writing this.


There must be so many unhappy spirits either stuck on Earth or spirits of ill will close by Earth that cause humanity pollution. There must be so many of them. I wonder what God is doing about them. I wonder what God thinks about them - or rather, how he would describe them to me - he/she wouldn't say they are psychopathic, dysfunctional, because those words are dysfunctional. But still, the spirits in question must do a lot of harm, they do evil; however, essentially, they are not evil beings, because they exist, they are creatures of God.

Shortly after coming out of psychiatric hospital a few years ago, I heard a spiritual voice say "We're glad you're not mad anymore." It was just once that I heard that voice. It is very touching to have heard those words. I know it was an earthbound spirit - I can tell earthbound spirit from mortal telepathic, and good-natured spirits from badly-mannered and evil-behaved ones; I know the difference between a celestial voice and an Earthbound voice, just from having heard them once.



I have to ask myself, why don't I do something about this, and go on a massive campaign to track down someone in the world who is more psychic, more knowing and more healthy than I am who can put things right for me. Why not? Answer: a lack of mindfulness; and busy-ness; and loss of faith; and beliefs of scarcity of people with such skills; and maybe I'm not ready to be healed yet, who knows. So I have to forgive myself. It's something I consciously wish to do later, soon, but not now. For instance I'm busy now, about to move house (hopefully). but maybe I should start some distance healing with the person I have in mind. I think I'll do that actually! Contact them and ask them to see what they can do from afar (I am quite a long way from where they are, it involves a special trip).

A happy moment. We'll see what happens. I guess I'll feel happier for doing something about this, this unbelievable situation of fully conscious psychic attack by negative-thinking 'demoniac' spirits and overcrowding by ghosts.

Back To Reality: Spiritual Warfare... And Peace

Aside from spiritual conflict - aside from comments and thoughts about demonology and so on, let's get back to reality:

Because Life was not created to be full of strife! Who are the people who struggle with spiritual oppression when they are at peace and forgetful of their struggles?

Because the soul that becomes too serious and is overcome with worry becomes darkened. Because when we forget to relax we take on resentment and become darkened. We forget the joy of Creation, and the peace of God.

Because there is a level of existence where there is only peace; the nearer we get to God, the calmer we become. The Highest vibration, the Divine energy, heals everything and knows no suffering.

Like fighting in a storm at night, if we look, we can see the sun rising on the horizon, and clear skies far away.

Let's not forget ourselves; let's not forget who we were before the struggle began, our innocence and warmth and calmness and vulnerability and generosity. Because the souls who make themselves our enemies do not see us as we are when they attack; they do not see the love inside us, but a poor reflection of themselves.

To be pulled off centre unknowingly is to be darkened. Let us maintain our good-naturedness, and remain in Light, no matter the nature assumed by those beings we interact with. And this is mastery!




Wishing you strength on all levels, and peaceful sleep, and remembrance of your true nature,


Mr. S.

Portals And Power Struggles

In my experience, psychic attack is very much a power struggle. There are the spirits trying to conquer me, or the ex-girlfriend who seeks to hurt me to get my attention as a way of validating that she is lovable.


(Usually psychic attack is known to occur between mortals, not received from the spirit world; it is quite rare for psychic attack to occur, but less so I suppose for sensitive people, and is usually fairly unintentional rather than a result of black magic rites, they say. Occasionally I have heard the "ex" ill-wishing (we were very close, and both 'sensitive'); I used to think my entire problem was from mortals, I now realise that the attack is almost entirely from the spirit world).)



Spiritually, for me there is disturbance to my auric functioning (attested to by a energy healer), to my crown chakra, the organism's energetic portal. There is therefore a fight over my connection to spirit.

There is also disturbance to my portal to the world, in that I am sabotaged by shame imposed on me from outside, so I'm less likely to engage with others and achieve in the world.


All this amounts to power issues. For those in the know, I was told by my healer-friend that there were also signs of interference with my solar plexus chakra, the personal power centre.
At some stage, I hope, I will discover the key to taking back my power and governing these 'portals' myself. Presumably it will involve being more 'grounded' (connected to the Earth, stable) and less in the worlds of spirit, so that my power is more focused within me and not loosely spreading out into the spiritual. So perhaps I win this power struggle by endeavouring to look outside myself and engage with the world. No mean feat for someone with no job and few friends, but you have to start from somewhere!
Also, this means being stronger than my attackers, all several of them, or having enough power against them to have the advantage, which presumably means being in charge of my life and my emotions enough to counter these forces with stability, even whilst they are attacking me.


The ideal for me is for these power struggles to be dormant, to live in peace, and get on with my life. No one from above is really stepping in to stop it all at once, so I guess I can do it myself - put an end to these power struggles, and change my basic energetic vibration so that I am not troubled.
