Hello,
I've mentioned this a few times on this forum before in passing, and I'd like to give it a little more of a spotlight, and I'd also like to ask the other members here if they've experienced anything similar.
introductory point: I do believe my "third eye" or "pineal gland" is somewhat more developed than some other people's. I believe this because of three points: I live in Hawaii, where there is no fluoride in the drinking water. Supposedly fluoride promotes pineal gland calcification. Second, I am a heavy cannabis user, and I believe that my cannabis use has had an effect on my mind. Some readers might immediately discount my entire account hearing this. I am okay with that. Third, I have "felt" my third eye on numerous occasions. During meditation especially. It feels like pressure. Like a thumb pressing on my forehead. At times the pressure is extreme and uncomfortable.
At times, especially right before bed, where the room is dark, I can SEE swirling shadows, which are distracting, and then I begin to see forms, the silhouettes appear to have faces and upper bodies. They look like ugly people. No horns, no fangs, nothing like that. Just ugly people. Like goblins, I guess.
At a point, they notice I've noticed them, and they begin to wave their hands and arms over their head, almost like they're trying to startle me. They look like they're in fast motion, or that I'm living in slow motion. Sometimes it seems like they're want to charge me with a particularly nasty look on their face. Almost like they're trying to scare me. But that's just the visual portion.
I'm sure we're all familiar with the experience of remembering an embarrassing or humiliating moment of our pasts. I do believe that these "demons" have the capability of reaching into your memory and prompting you with something they believe will cause to to produce "Loosh," a byproduct of a painful thought, which they then consume for sustenance. It seems likely that "demons" are a natural part of the karma release process.
I've also had similar experiences with beings who appeared to be benevolent. One time, I saw two "demons", but for some reason, I could recognize them as two of my childhood friends. As soon as they realized I had recognized them, they began in the same frantic arm waving as their malevolent counterparts, but with a gleeful spirit, in the same fast-motion style.
Has anyone ever had any experiences remotely similar? Kinda putting myself out there, I guess.
Hey there. I'm super tired right now but I feel like I have to reply. I see those swirls and silhouettes too. For me, they do not take such distinct forms, I usually pray for protection upon noticing increased "activity". Rather they move about the room in vague forms...sometimes shiny eyes will glare at me but the eyes are disembodied, it could be 30 eyes at once, for example. It doesn't stop there though, sometimes I get "touched" or some heavy weight will descend upon me. Sometimes it's auditory, too. They interrupt my meditation and appear in my dreams when I make spiritual progress. The only thing that helps is invoking Jesus Christ or saying a prayer.
Could go into so much detail here on my theories etc. but if you wanted to hear from someone else that you're not alone with this...well, you're not and it's actually fascinating to hear from someone else who also sees this stuff. It's become something I only occasionally mention to my husband because I've tried talking to others about it, even a priest but they look at me like I'm crazy, so yeah.
Now you're not alone putting yourself out there :) hit me up if you ever wanna talk more about it.
I'm not particularly concerned about protection. Perhaps I am naive. I have never experienced these entities to ever do anything other than influence my mental faculties, nor do I believe they are capable. Some others have mentioned demons sitting on their chests during sleep paralysis, I've never experienced that.
I suppose my primary concern is the degree to which they can affect our thinking?
Have you experienced the rapid arm waving? To me it stands out particularly. Like it's what they do, or something.
Thanks for the reply :)
You are being naive. They can influence you in many ways you may be unaware of.
The protections I do is mainly for my mind and soul not my body, I am not worried about physical harm - yet they are capable of making you physically ill and they do sometimes touch my body. The touch feels like a burning hot sensation to me (no injury visible later) and when I am trying to sleep or focus it's really hard to ignore. There have also been instances where an entity you could call "sleep paralysis demon" kept getting in my face and I kind of ignored it and fell asleep. I then had a "dream" where I woke up (lucid) in my room and was put in a strangle-hold by that sleep paralysis demon and it somehow paralyzed me to the point I couldn't think a straight sentence, it felt like time was slowed down and only with great effort could I think of the pater noster in my head (which made me wake up). I have not noticed any waving towards me.
When it comes to how they affect our thinking, I do believe they are able to see things about us we may not be aware of, like what makes you afraid. They can bring about negative emotions, memories as you said. (I don't know whether the Loosh aspect is true, I haven't been able to confirm that personally but it could be).
Furthermore, they may be incubi or succubi (if you have masturbated or orgasmed in your bedroom) - who will invade your dreams to have sex with you and make you orgasm, so your chastity is also in need of protection. There are many varieties of entities that can invade your home, including witches (male and female).
As someone who is seeking spiritual enlightenment, you are a target, don't be mistaken. Once you falter and fall, they lose interest. There is no point in corrupting someone who is already going to hell, so most people are never bothered much beyond the occasional nightmare. However, someone who is trying to get closer to God, is making efforts to become better, that's someone they want to obstruct, tempt and tear back down.
Thank you for your reply.
I should clarify, I'm not worried about "physical" protection. In the sense that they are non-physical. And thank your for expanding on the aspects of spiritual warfare.
I suppose I should be taking all of this far more seriously than I am, huh? I don't often think about hell. What if it's all true? What a terrifying thought.
I am embarrassed to admit I think I've figured out the succubi as well. I remember one night, a sexual fantasy came over me, one that I simply didn't recognize. Just completely foreign to "my routine," let's call it. I became starkly aware that this was a different succubi than my normal one. Recently, I've really been trying to not think about sex, because I really do believe these succubi play a major role in sexual fantasies and masturbation. Again, what a horrifying thought. And particularly embarrassing.
I'd appreciate a prayer. God bless!
