Things Are "Eating" Me
    #19101931 - 11/07/13 05:39 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Has anyone else seen these things? Everything I do is just feeding them.

I know that must not make sense but they are real and all around us. They eat our spirit. Am I going crazy? Or are these things real? I wish someone else could perceive them too, then I would know that I am not the only one.

I didnt trust the meds, I spit on the nurses.

They transfered me to a different mental hospital. Given lots of meds, watched carefully.

Had a bunch of relgiious and spiritual experiences and faced my karma. It was a time of transition, a time for change and growth. And I did change, and I did grow.

It doesn't make any more sense to me now. I don't think about it.. it is whatever it is..

Yay, another poster who changes the meaning of a common phrase ('food chain') on-the-fly, to go against everything biologists have learned and agreed upon, to bolster his fantasy world.

Maybe; maybe not. I am not sure if you are playing or truly experiencing dangerous symptoms.

Here is what I do know: Many years ago we had three members in a few year period commit suicide. ALL of them spoke of angels or demons or being The Christ or alien possession or some variant thereof.

Thereafter I counseled two similar cases through phone calls and PMs. They both eventually sought professional help upon my insistence, came back to earth and later thanked me.

Yes, I mock here, but these types of symptoms are not really humorous nor are they indicative of another dimension.

There's a very famous Hindu poem called the Purusha Sukta. It is recited as part of all Vedic rites and to loosely paraphrase it says something like this:  the seasons feed the man, the man feeds the seasons.  That was very loose paraphrase.  The basic notion is that we all are food. We eat, we are eaten. Have you heard of karma?  People feels so bad about eating meat, and yet, we do pay the ultimate price for it. 

There is also a Daoist story in Chang Tzu about the Emperor's pigs and the yearly ceremony.  A Daoist visits the royal butcher and says, 'Isn't that horrible, to dress up those pigs and parade them about just to slaughter them?' To which the Daoist butcher says, 'Not so at all. These swine have had a year of the finest luxury their species can ever know. Rather, this is the height of pigly existance.

Most of us are merely swine. Few rise above. All are eaten. I knpow from previous girlfriends that some people have better taste than others.

I like this. This is exactly what I was trying to say.

I have a science degree, and a great respect for science, but the consensus was a few hundred years ago that the world was flat. Reality is just that, a consensus. Perhaps in a few hundred or thousand years we will have a different set of definitions, and a different consensus about our world.

the thing is....

you are letting things eat you

why? because you don't know who you are and you place your sense of self in outside objects
then it is easy to eat you because you are just giving yourself away

get your mojo in check, remember that you are within then nothing will be able to eat you

this dude once said, if you are remembering yourself the devil will not dare come near you
but you gotta watch it all the time, its like a bad habit - they call it attachment

its like that needy salesman vibe you get from the dude at the store...can i help u?  please like me?  make me look good with my boss.........

don't be desperate, you are more than enough and you don't NEED anything
learn to chill with yourself, relax, take a time out from the frantic activity
then you'll see its all chill, its all happening by itself, all you need is the intention

this other dude said "obstacles are the scary things you see when you take your eyes off your goal"

I had a numerology reading once that said,  focus on your goal and don't look back

don't even look sideways

what should your goal be?
that's up to you to decide

i can suggest self healing and self mastery
ultimately you should want to become your own person
cause if you don't own yourself how can you own anything else

but of course I can't make you want that......

thats yo mojo brah

Whilst there might be a good chunk of truth in this the reverse is said to be true too, in the sense that as the ego is somewhat diminished in favour of ones "spiritual essence" (the being a person arguably, actually is rather than what they elect themselves to be), it makes itself apparent that it's leaving (to the extent that it does "leave") by externally projecting itself by way of visuals in response to the threat. Termed as "demons" in many cases.

MAN THEY ARE EATING ME TOO!  SERIOUS.  I see them, I hear them, I feel them, and am in battle with them.

They stab me then rip all my energy off and onto other people so that I become tethered to all these points around my head moving in different directions.

They actually say that they want 'up' and they come from below then act like they are trapped in hell inside my body.

They are trying to build structures of dense energy inside my body then gain control physically by trying to move me.

They won't let me fucking sleep.

I feel for ya!

DUDE!!! Shit man I am incredibly sorry, I completely forgot about that thread were you were looking for help with that entity clearing.

I think what is needed is a old school, smudging ceremony. Here is a decent tek I found online.

Quote:

THE SMUDGING CEREMONY
By Adrienne Borden and Steve Coyote


Our Native elders have taught us that before a person can be healed or heal another, one must be cleansed of any bad feelings, negative thoughts, bad spirits or negative energy - cleansed both physically and spiritually. This helps the healing to come through in a clear way, without being distorted or sidetracked by negative "stuff" in either the healer or the client. The elders say that all ceremonies, tribal or private, must be entered into with a good heart so that we can pray, sing, and walk in a sacred manner, and be helped by the spirits to enter the sacred realm.

Native people throughout the world use herbs to accomplish this. One common ceremony is to burn certain herbs, take the smoke in one's hands and rub or brush it over the body. Today this is commonly called "smudging." In Western North America the three plants most frequently used in smudging are sage, cedar, and sweetgrass.

SAGE

There are many varieties of sage, and most have been used in smudging. The botanical name for "true" sage is Salvia (e.g. Salvia officinalis, Garden Sage, or Salvia apiana, White Sage). It is interesting to note that Salvia comes from the Latin root salvare, which means "to heal." There are also varieties of sage which are of a species separate from Salvin Artemusia. Included here are sagebrush (e.g. Artemisia californica) and mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). We have seen both Salvia and Artemisia sub-species used in smudging.

Sage is burned in smudging ceremonies to drive out bad spirits, feelings, or influences, and also to keep bad spirits from entering the area where a ceremony takes place. In Plains nations, the floor of the sweat lodge is frequently covered with sage, and participants rub the leaves on their bodies while in the sweat. Sage is also commonly spread on the ground in a lodge or on an altar where the pipe touches the earth. Some nations wrap their pipes in sage when they are placed in pipe-bundles, as sage purifies objects wrapped in it. Sage wreaths are also placed around the head and wrists of Sundancers.

CEDAR

There is some potential confusion here about the terms used to name plants, mainly because in some areas, junipers are known as "cedar" - as in the case of Desert White Cedar (Juniperus monosperina). This doesn't mean that J. monosperina wasn't used as a cleansing herb, though; in the Eastern U.S., its relative, Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginia), was used ceremonially. However, in the smudging ceremonies we have seen or conducted ourselves, Western Red Cedar (Thuja occidentalis) and California Cedar Incense (Libocedrus descurrens) were used ... not varieties of juniper.

Cedar is burned while praying either aloud or silently. The prayers rise on the cedar smoke and are carried to the Creator. Cedar is also spread along with sage on the floor of the sweat lodges of some tribes. Cedar branches are brushed in the air to cleanse a home during the House Blessing Ceremony of many Northwest Indian nations. In the Pacific Northwest, the people burn cedar for purification in much the same way as sage - it drives out negative energy; but it also brings in good influences. The spirit of cedar is considered very ancient and wise by Pacific Northwest tribes, and old, downed cedar trees are honored with offerings and prayers.

SWEETGRASS

One of the most sacred plants for the Plains Indians, sweetgrass is a tall wild grass with a reddish bas and perfume-like, musty odor. It grows mainly on the eastern side of the Rockies in Montana and adjacent Alberta, Canada. It also shows up in some small areas of Wyoming and South Dakota. Its botanical name is Hierochloe odorata. Some common names for it are Seneca grass, holy grass and vanilla grass. We have been told that a variety of vanilla grass grows in North Central California. But, how similar it is to the Plains variety we don't know.

On the Plains, sweetgrass is usually braided together in bunches as a person's hair is braided, although friends have said they have seen it simply bunched and wrapped in cloth. Either way, it is usually burned by shaving little bits over hot coals or lighting the end and waving it around, letting the smoke spread through the air. This latter method is how we were taught to burn sweetgrass in the sweat lodge - allowing the purifying smoke to get to all parts of the lodge.

We were taught that it was good to burn sweetgrass after the sage or cedar had driven out the bad influences. Sweetgrass brings in the good spirits and the good influences. As with cedar, burning sweetgrass while praying sends prayers up to the Creator in the smoke. High Hollow Horn says in the The Sacred Pipe "This smoke from the sweetgrass will rise up to you, and will spread throughout the universe. Its fragrance will be known by the wingeds, the four-leggeds, and the two leggeds, for we understand that we are all relatives; may all our brothers be tame and not fear us!" Sweetgrass is also put in pipe bundles and medicine bundles along with sage to purify and protect sacred objects.

Sweetgrass is very rare today, its territory severely cut by development, cattle-grazing, and wheat fields - and tradition Indians in the northern Plains are trying to protect the last remaining fields. The best way for most folks to get sweetgrass is to buy it at Native American retail outlets. This gives support to Indians who can help the fields from being depleted.

SMUDGING

To do a smudging ceremony, burn the clippings of these herbs (dried), rub your hands in the smoke, and then gather the smoke and bring it into your body, or - rub it onto yourself; especially onto any area you feel needs spiritual healing. Keep praying all the while that the unseen powers of the plant will cleanse your spirit. Sometimes, one person will smudge another, or a group of people, using hands - or more often a feather - to lightly brush the smoke over the other person(s). We were taught to look for dark spots in a person's spirit-body. As one California Indian woman told us, she "sees" a person's spirit-body glowing around them, and where there are "dark or foggy parts," she brushes the smoke into these "holes in their spirit-body." This helps to heal the spirit and to "close up" these holes.

Recently we did a "light" house cleansing for a friend. We use the term "light", for this is a relatively simple ceremony as opposed to some that are more lengthy and complicated. Our friend had some serious emotional and relationship problems, and he felt they had left a heavy and dark atmosphere. First, we prayed together to the Creator and to the spirits for help. We then, burned sage, purified ourselves, and took the sage to all the corners, closets, and rooms of the house. We pushed the smoke with our hands to cleanse every bit of space - lingering over dark or cold spots that "felt" uncomfortable.

We used sage first in order to drive out the bad influences. Then we purified ourselves with cedar and, then repeated the cleansing process throughout the house with that. Then sweetgrass was used in the same manner to bring in good influences. All the time we prayed for help in this cleansing. Finally, we took a candle over the whole house and pushed its light into every corner. The People of the Pacific Northwest Coast taught this "lighting-up" of a house to us. We've been doing this type of house cleansing for ten years, and it never fails to "clear the air."

One more note about smudging. It is very popular among many novices to use abalone shells in smudging. There are many Native elders who are pleased to see so many new folds smudging themselves, but - some are concerned that abalone shells are being used when burning the herbs. On the Pacific Northwest Coast, for example, some holy men have said that abalone shells represent Grandmother Ocean, and that they should be used in ceremonies with water, not burning.

We know enough Native elders in the Northwest, the Plains, and California who don't use abalone shells - but instead clay or stone bowls - that we don't personally feel comfortable using a shell.

In any case, smudging is a ceremony that must be done with care. We are entering into a relationship with the unseen powers of these plants, and with the spirits of the ceremony. As with all good relationships, there has to be respect and honor if the relationship is to work.

I feel like heading out into the woods and meditating around a cedar fire tonight, while it is snowing but when I get back in I will stockpile more info on these cancerous entities and how to clear them.

I am not going to proselytize, but I think an important step in getting rid of negative entities is to have some powerfully good ones.


Also Op tells us more about these eater things please.

It's a very old concept. Think about it, we eat apples from trees, but cows eat grass.

I'm not sure the cow is any more aware than the grass but just like we eat they eat.

The more energy you put out in a chaotic way higher dimensional beings might be eating that and attaching to you.

Makes sense to me since its one of those old universal reports.
