I had a friend at the time who was gifted. She happened to come from a long line of catholics who also happened to be wiccans. I took her advice on how to go about it. It worked after the first try. She wouldn't do it with me, said I needed to do it by myself because there was more respect by the spirit because I lived there and she didn't. If we had done it together, or she had done it herself, it wouldn't have had much of an impact. It was scary to do it on my own, but I believe that there is a lot of power in the mind - if you think such and such will protect you, it will. <br /><br />I agree with what you say about noticing spirits. I've always been sensitive and after a while, all homes I've lived in seem to attract spirits. They don't stay "empty" long. It's obnoxious. I was told that I have a golden orange aura that may attract spirits that want to take advantage of me. Who knows... <br /><br />It makes sense to me that some spirits thrive on negative/scared emotions. It's terribly sappy, but I try to focus on loving feelings with a resolve not to put up with any negative spirits in my home. I've been negative spirit free for years since my learning session with my wiccan friend.Julietnsawyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-63044384566278522672010-07-22T03:18:31.046-04:002010-07-22T03:18:31.046-04:00Pastor, are you a born again Christian?

On the one hand my own perceptions are growing stronger, but i do believe that disturbances are becoming more frequent. It seems absurd to think of the spirit world as becoming full, but surely its almost like litter, unless cleaned out it piles up?<br /><br />Probably the reason the violence is increasing is that people are becoming poorer, and less happy than before, anxiety and fear is their food. <br /><br />I'm also picking up a major energy increase, generally, and a lot of people i've spoken with seem to agree. The veil seems to be thinner. Many blame repeated nuclear tests, and other "science" like the LHC for pressing the boundaries. I have no evidence, but i believe that the increased electro magnetic radiation, cell phones etc, play a role in this.<br /><br />Either way, peace and love to youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-23377110741540696352010-02-08T10:20:46.933-05:002010-02-08T10:20:46.933-05:00A very good post, but I'd add 2 comments.
1. ...A very good post, but I'd add 2 comments.<br /><br />1. Due to some recent TV shows, a much larger number of people have been seeking out haunted houses in an attempt to communicate with spirits than in the past. I really doubt that there is a moral or practical difference between trying to get a spirit to communicate through a tape recorder vs. through a Ouija board. <br /><br />2. In his 2 books, Fr. Amorth warns against turning to witchcraft in an attempt to solve paranormal problems (especially demonic oppression, obsession, or possession). The relief that is provided by witchcraft is temporary, and when the problem returns it tends to be both more intense and harder to deal with -- in no small part, of course, because the recourse to witchcraft is a kind of implicit invitation such as you mention. Unfortunately, dabbling with witchcraft is also more common today.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04843514873861242426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-41990316339024215612010-02-08T08:27:15.713-05:002010-02-08T08:27:15.713-05:00It is curious that you mention this.

I had a dream two nights ago that I feel may have been an encounter with a demonic entity.<br /><br />In the dream, I was wandering the halls of this very strange church. Everything was brilliant white - walls, floor, ceiling, doors. Not just white, but glowing white. Even the people were dressing in glowing white robes over their normal clothing. The people were odd, in that they didn't seem to notice me, even though I wasn't wearing the robes. And everything about the place gave me the creeps. It didn't seem holy.<br /><br />I got the impressiong that services were about to begin, so I followed a group of people to see where they would go. They all gathered at a stair, where they were all going down, to some place below ground. There I saw an old friend of mine, but he didn't recognize or notice me. <br /><br />I preferred not to go downstairs, so I left them and continued wandering the white halls. I found the nursery, which was also the only place that wasn't white. There were no children in the main room, but I saw a light coming from another room, so I entered it. There was a little girl sitting in a rocking chair in the corner, her back to the door. <br /><br />At this point, I knew what was going to happen, but I walked over to her anyway. I turned her chair around and she looked up at me and smiled, then her chair began to spin like a top. When it stopped, she was horribly transformed. She was still small, but her face was demonic and learing.<br /><br />For some reason, I wasn't afraid. She wanted very much to scare me, but I wasn't frightened in the least. I put my hand on her face and told her to leave. At that point I woke up.<br /><br />The strangest part of this dream was my lack of fear. My lack of fear was a result of knowing. I knew when I saw her what she was and what she wanted - my fear - so I didn't give it to her. What should have been a nightmare wasn't. <br /><br />It was very strange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-78175316410950955692010-02-07T20:03:11.384-05:002010-02-07T20:03:11.384-05:00I think a lot of Spirits don't leave also beca...I think a lot of Spirits don't leave also because they just want to tick people off, to be honest. <br />They died with some unfinished business on Earth and decided that because of that, EVERYONE should go through what they went through.cryptidsrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184539509191478028noreply@blogger.com
