Haunted by Death
    #5785667 - 06/24/06 01:00 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I want to share with you all a story which has me very upset, because I dont know what is happening and am helpless to stop it. I know most of us who have experienced paranormal moments, mysterious consiously aware happenings will be able to consider what I tell you intelligently and perhaps help me find a rational action plan.

I have a close friend who seems to be suffering from a strange spiritual crisis of which he is unable to defend against and is slowely driving him crazy. From what he describes to me, it is as if "death" is haunting him and doing this in very strange and diabolical ways. One of these methods he explained was that he can feel physical manifestations of insects and flies on his face and body. Constantly having to swipe them away during his waking hours. It is making him unable to concentrate or enjoy daily life. He says that many prayers have been said, much soul searching, much reviewing of his spiritual self in hopes that an answer might be revealed to him, but he still cannot figure a way to defeat what is happening, though he explains that it isnt so much "fear" which is the problem, but that he is vulnrable to these methods he claims are of a demonic force. We cannot say for sure, and think that perhaps through drug use, he has opened the pandora's box or offended some spiritual authority. I have prayed for his soul and talked to various people, including a preacher who suggested that it is perhaps a means for a person to become aware of their wrongfullness and uncleaness under a holy God. This I found quite unjust, for it almost forces a person to change without helping him do so. I really can't give him the answers needed and I wanted to share this with the people here because perhaps many of you may have experience similar things and can help me, help him defeat whatever entity, plague, curse is haunting this poor man.

Sounds like your friend could do with some professional help, at least see a doctor and rule out a physical cause first, after all if my car breaks down I see a mechanic first and a preacher last.

I'm not ruling out the power of prayer though, I remember one time I had the flu and I prayed for 5 days and it vanished!

If he is doing drugs, he should completely stop for a while to see if this haunting continues.
If yes, perhaps some autogenous training could help to install his spirit back into his body ?
Else, some other meditative trainings for insight might bring him some explanation of the 'cause' to this problem.
Of course the aid of 'selected' helpers also should not be refused.

It looks more likely an energy attack. Maybe somebody is trying to intentionally hurt him by drying him off his positive energy. These things happen, they've happened to me and it was a very hard time of my life that I finally managed to get pass it. Though it took some time. Tell him to go to a psychic, I mean a real one, a healer. Tour friend will know if it's for real a true psychic or not, it feels. So when he doer find that, he could get real help and his energy will be all ok again.
And yes, he must be prepared for a fight cause he's the one who has to
do it so he can get his power back but eventually he'll get out more strong and wise from it. I'll pray for your friend.

Blue Coyote - I will advise for him to focus on keeping sober and away from the mind inducing substances, these will only exagerate the feelings I imagine. I don't know much about hypnotics, what would this do exactly? Put him into a trance like state so as to dive into the sub-consious and see if the source of his crisis can be radified? Is it possible then that it is an internal conflict of the soul or spirit? From what he describes, it is an external manifestation into his reality, and he often feels at peace and still mentally secure about his beliefs and faith, though, quite confused as to why he is being tormented in such a way.

MushroomTrip - I think this sounds very very accurate, because although he isn't positive that it is actually "death" haunting him, it could be just derived from his imagination trying to put a face on the energy, which seems evidently negative. This guy is a rather spiritual person and has much heart and fundamentals concerning life, I've already much debated over this and tried calling on the force (demon?) and rebuking it by the holy spirit, except I see no change, sadley I can not do the work of christ, though it is said he gives certain people authority over evil. You say that it is somthing which you have experience personally also? During this time then, was it that you were internally seperated and induced into depression or that you actually felt the physical torments that this poor soul is experiencing? I still think it is a gateway of some form, a vulnrability which he must choose to relinquish command over him, but it is defineing what that is and how to close it. Perhaps I will advocate the seeking out of a pyhcic healer, atleast it will be somthing...which might cure him.

soulcircus - Right now, he seems mentally stable about it all. Its become more of a helpless annoyance which he longs to be unburdoned from. He believe's it is a curse of the soul and of the mind and enivatibly can and will be defeated.

Thanks for the help people, I honestly want to help this person get a grip on this unfair, and unjust spiritual harrassment soon. Why should good people be brought into such states? Why do they target the kind and tamed hearted? I do not understand this, but it is not right.

All i said above is to rate, if it really is any external 'attack'.
Through insight, we can see, where this attack hurts us and may eventually see, where this attack comes from. That gives us possibilities to act !
If it really is a spiritual 'attack' of some kind, then you can get rid of it if you can assure, that this is your physical realm, and you are the only possessor of your mind in this realm as it is built on physical laws and no 'psychic' attack is allowed to harm you here by default. I have done this stuff a few times and it works wonders. At the same time, everytime you claim your physical rights, you loose a bit of your 'transcendental' abilities. But I think, the price is fair.
There you can close the channels, where this attack stems from.

It wasn't mannifesting the way it does to him, but the feelings I had were close to what he's describing. After a period of time that I felt this way, I just suddenly felt the urge to fight back and got tired of eing down. But yes, a healer can help and support you very well in this fight. By guyding your thoughts and energyes in order for having the power to stand on your feel and keep the stranght whyle you take this fight. It isn't easy, but not so hart eother, you just really have to want it. That goes for anything really cause it's not just a figure a speach, it is the true. If someone relly wants something he or she will get there eventually. And yes, there can be also traps which come as doubts so check them, questioning and facind these doubts is a good thing to do too.
Someone who I love very much and I think he's more then roght said don't be weooried that your life will stop, worry if it never begins. Which is the same with taking risks. Sure, you can harly lose if you don't rsk anything, but also you can't win. And we're made to win here, so who minds a few or more losings as well, whene there is so much at stake? We should gaing as much presonal strenght as possible and strnght comes from losing too. So coming back to this guy who's haunted by death, I think he must to anything possible and impossible (as well) to fight to get his strenght back, cause it's more then a matter of being alive, it's a matter of carma too. So I say let's all try to concentrate and focus in sending this guy some good vibes, who knows when we'll need it too?

One may choose to blame Beelzebub [Lord of the Flies], but insects are a common hallucination. The feeling of 'coke bugs' is clinically called 'formication' (as in formic acid - the venom of ant stings). Schizophrenics also experience insects or parasites under the skin, or belive them to be internally. Some spurious 'spiritual' beliefs like Voudun (Voodoo) say that toads and snakes have gotten into a person. I knew someone with AIDS in the early days who quit western medicine, quit his Catholic faith and turned to a Voudun Houngan (medicine man) who gave him emetics to drive out the snakes and toads. He puked and s**t himself to death before the AIDS could claim him.

Bottom line is that there is an interface between religion and psychopathology. Lots of madness comes in the form of messianic complexes, demonic oppressions and possessions, and other weirdnesses. Bram Stoker's fictional character Renfield 'really' was being possessed by the devil in the form of Dracula, yet he was committed to an insane asylum for saying that he served an evil master. This interface can be seen in the Biblical stories of Jesus and the demoniacs. It could be that both religion and psychology are addressing the same reality, but I would have your friend checked by a clinician (mental health counselor, psychologist, etc.) first. Documented demonic possessions are fairly rare.

It might be the drugs that hes taking, some drugs are good to clear this thing up, and it'll clear it right up, but drugs taken wrong can make it worse, to me he is experiences some type of schizophrenic situation, is he weak?, does he spend alot of time alone? is any other crisis going on that could cause him to stress?not to say this is not spiritual like he says, I'd make sure hes taking his medicine right, and stay relaxed, get outside more. Discourage any spiritual notions, thats what demons want, attention, and then they get blown out of proportion.

BlueCoyote - How right you are about defining the "area's" of attack and then understanding the source for which derives such things. Though I would like to believe that I am inherently the sole possor of my mind, this is not so. The workings of our bodies may be unknown to me and you, they are not this way to spiritual intelligence. But, I did suggest exactly what you said and It has helped him create a stronger opposing argument when dealing with these things heavily. I most surely would want to close the centers for which have left him vulnrable in life. If only I knew exactly how, or if it is at all possible. Can man or woman control external psyhcic forces?

MushroomTrip - Strength of spirit is a powerful ally in our fight against ourselves. Healers can also be anyone, most times just having a free trustable company to work through the complexities is enough, whether they know the answers is irrelevant, you will eventually find them through discussion I believe. God is the greatest healer of all and a person who has a means to "reach" this will find the power and courage to overcome any disorders of the soul. He would that none of his children were lost and all were saved, so it is writen and so I believe. Wouldn't you believe it also if you had no other alternative? I love the power of hope.

Markos - You have done a good thing by clarifying these things for me. In many ways, I have speculated over the connection between patheologic disorders and spirituality. I am afraid of this as a conclusion however, for obvious reasons of identity and protection. To me, it seems as if the mind is the source of the worst influences...because you cannot escape the mind and this, if by any other means would be the greatest "tool" Hell would use to destroy us. You say though, that actual demoic cases have been had? Would you possibly share one with me, either here or through a PM?

I did some research about these "Spiritual Flies" and what I found was a refrence article to biblical scripture and an expanded description of further meaning. It was speaking of the apothocary and the ointments used in ancient times as a fresh perfume scents. ( Ancient Day Cologne )

"Dear lady, would you wish to whiff this new ointment of mine? Oh yes, It's called "Fair ben hazle." ---This is a joke. (smile)

Ok, the general theme was of having "dead flies" in the ointment and causing it to stink. Of coarse this is in refrence to our spirits and temptations for which get in and cause it to fester with negative energy. Quite interesting I would say, because it seems to be as literal as can be for this person. Which leads me to believe that perhaps the gateway for which he can percieve these feelings is being used to "help" him defend his body and spirit against the afflictions of the damned ghost. Though, most surely with time and dedication, and abstinence and worship, and prayer and fellowship, he will find the great light for which will sheild all the sinister methods used to snare us.

and so we share on. ^_^  :japsmile:

Capliberty - Well, I know that he is very isolated and rarely has social interaction as he should. He is far from weak, we used to fist fight all the time, but if you mean mentally then no. Still I will agree that is a form of schizophrenia, though I worry about setting labels on things, these usually get blown out of proportion i think. Just to add, these are all very insightfull connotations, though I woudlnt attribute this instance to any alterior stressfull delima's. This is spiritual, it is of the soul and of the mind. The man is very controlled in his reasoning, I must admit and tolerant beyond measure. I just pray his power to comfort and encourage his faith is won. God is working through him on levels which I could not understand.

Indeed, God IS the ultimate healer. And by reaching Him the healing comes to you and stays there. But also, when in such a situation of low powers, you need any possible help, even a good thought. A healer or a psychic can also show you where the problem comes so you can know
how to approach it. Sometimes, when in the dark, all you need to find your way our is only a quick flash of light. Cause many time you have the picture in your head and know all you need to do, but need a reassurance. Our mind has a funny way to be. There are situations in which we find ourselves and consider them as being only small problems but still never manage to find their solutions and we get stucked, and other situations which we find horrific and without sollution and still be able to solve them almost instantly. And I think, besides the role our resources have, it's a matter of approach. Maybe everything has to be taken seriously in order to get them right.

It could be caused by repressed emotions. You can mentally manifest alternate egoes by repressing certain emotions too long and not letting them out. Its almost like a split personality but not quite. I personally dont believe in demonic possessions.

I think demonic possessions are these energy attacks or bad vibes which in my opinion exist. So lol yes me neither, I don't believe in a devil or demon, but this a christian bull shit anyways, and got invented for some other reason but this is not the topic to discuss it.
And hid mind having long time repressed feelings don't happen just like that, out of the blue, but the reason can be very well something like that.

I had a friend who was schizophrenic, he had about 10 personality in him, they all talked as if they were demons, but it was also him insinuating the cause, but it seemed real in way, but fake in way, if that makes sense, it was part an act, and it was part him loosing it, these personalities kept him entertained also, he could virtually have conversation and a get along with himself, people would stare at him, thinking I wish I had what he had, because it was so strange, most people didn't know what to make of it, a person talking to himself and being totally oblivious to his environment, which hinted to me, it wasn't really about attention.

Well untill now none could tell for sure wether schizofrenia is a psychological illness maybe it is in oart. But I think there are many deiiferent things looking like schizoid behaviour and not all if them are.
It also depends cause many times schizofrenia comes along with other affections as well and that could be a kind of key regardong it's nature.
No one REALLY made so much research in that domain, and I still think the best results lol come from testing on yourself. Many schizophrenic
persons have a very high iq and amazing memory... so, it makes you wonder.... are they really that ill?

Its funny that you mention this, he was pretty dam smart, he exhibited an acute memory as well,

he was really ill, but alot was him bringing it on himself though, it all started so innocently too, he lost his job, and kept referring to social anxiety as his root cause, I'm not the most outgoing, but he was so inhibited at a time it was crazy, I'd say a significant more so, than your average shy person, he was like trapped in his perfectionist complex, if it wasn't perfect he would buckle up, and this was what caused him to go into a deep depression.

Yes so see in my opinion schizophrenia is not an illness of the mind, of the psychic, it sounds to me more like a turbulence of the soul. Which, FUNNY, we all have that. We all have schizoid moments and most of us get pulled back in some way and others stay there. It could also be because they're more determined then us if you see what I mean. A quality can very easily transform into a weapon and a faut can get you of the shit sometimes. And what needs to be done is finding that secret bridge that makes the connexion between "normality" and "schizophrenia". On the other hand, it can also be related in some cases with some energy attacks, which not only others can do to you, but sometimes you do them to yourself in an unconscious mode.
The thing is that WE ALL have that switch, all we need to do is figure out how it works. We'll have a lot to gain in my opinion, it's like finding a new psychedelic, the only difference is that one is already inside all of us, which is way kooler ans not to mention that we have the power to activate and deactivate it when we feel like.

This book was the basis for the fictional 'The Exorcist' film. It goes beyond the psychic realm of psychology, psychiatry, mental health counseling, etc. into a spiritual realm. Scariest book I ever read because it had me reformulate my earlier notion of evil as 'Privatio Boni' - simply an absence of goodness - into a true presence. I have grown quite a bit since then, and I have a framework within Kabbalism that has helped me to understand the necessity of 'Severity' or 'Wrath' as the opposing principle of 'Mercy.' Pick it up and have a look when you're at the bookstore. My own experiences with the demonic is something I'd rather not converse on.

Hmmm...Im still quite unsettled about this situation, we can discuss it till were blue in the face, but until I can generate some actual, working practices to defend against this opressive demonic nature in his mind/spirit conundrum, then I am beggining to fear it will eventually lead him deeper into this dark paranoid reality. It seems to me, as much as he is trying through advise and research he just shake off this new reality consious which has over taken him nor can he ignore or tolerate it, its needs to be healed. God, Its all so very strange and disturbing and unfair.

I should mention that this man in his youth, would often experience "Night Terrors" and would wake up late at night, in an unconsious dream state, screaming his lungs out and crying, then in the morning would awake unaware of what had happened to him. Explain this...Repressed emotions? Repressed Fears? Fuck, what else do we do with them? How do you tell a fear to disappear, how do you defend against the thorns of the mind, things you can't see or touch? I think the greatest and most influential force in this case would be love, and freindship. I really see no other alternative. If calling out to a God who doesnt listen or care doesnt work, then the only way is through the presense of people.

Im beggining to distrust the spiritual realm more and more, it seems useless and man was never meant to have to deal with it. Its an imperfect structure and the "powers" are not friendly in my opinion. I just want to stop believing in everything and focus on life and the beuty of this world...Fuck death, fuck satan, let it wither into non-exsistence.

-----------------------------------

MushshroomTrip - On the other hand, it can also be related in some cases with some energy attacks, which not only others can do to you, but sometimes you do them to yourself in an unconscious mode.

- Oh, I completely agree with you here. Its so unbelievable, I mean, sure we have in some degree a measure over our reality, bodies, minds and how we behave and think, but It has also occured to me, that perhaps the amount of consious and unconsious focus we force into our beliefs, imaginations, fears, in a group sense, Then those "things' would mysteriously manifest themselves onto the world, having given them strength and purpose they are released. The very act of believing and dedicating time into somthing, it is made exsistant. That is why all my life, I have ubstained from watching horror movies and morbid infulences, I never wanted them to get lodged into my fragile mindframe. I wanted to keep it full of good memories and peacefull thoughts. Somhow though, the evil's of this world have a grip over us, and whether it be were eternally cursed or without goodness in that sense, it can not simply be "persuaded" away. I dislike that I can't even act kind and show love without being taken advantage of, or mis-interpreted. (not insinuating anyone here, you guys are super genious and most sincere to take the time and help me with this. Peace and Wealth be with you. )

Capliberty - I seen a woman doing this exact thing at the bus stop yesterday. It was a strange synchronicity, but she was basically talking to her imaginary friend, and seemed to be enjoying it quite naturally. Perhaps in certain cases the spirit of grace helps people who "are alone" compinsate by...making them aware of ... ?? It is evident of people who have been imprisoned and without human contact for many many years, what becomes of these people? Insanity? Is it just another form of bilogical functioning ? or mis-functioning?

Markos - I dont see myself wishing to read this book, unless you can argue it will help give insight into the nature of demonic experiences to help shelter against them. I might not be ready or prepared to understand it fully at this moment. Im already a believer, I dont need to get crazy deep. I've read you are a practicing para-psychologist, I value your opinion and your intrest in this thread, what would be the safest thing you would advise, asides from visit a professional, for me to relay to this man? Somthing which asides from knowledge and understanding will help him defeat it ?

The average person would think this all quite sureal, but If evil does have form and exsists, what a curse this is, what a terrible ancient curse. I wish I was an average person.

WIZOLZ -
It sounds from the emotional tenor of your posts that you are actually talking of first-hand experience, not a friend's experience. If I am wrong, please correct me, but you seem very involved. The greatest defense against anything demonic is the Light of Truth, so complete honesty is a manifestation of Truth.

Truth in human interactions means 'honesty,' and Truth in Ultimate (metaphysical) things means 'Reality.' In Truth, who we are (Really) is a being who is inseparable from all of Being. If that is the Truth, then evil can destroy our body (or our embodied mind) but it cannot destroy us spiritually. Spiritual strength stands and falls upon our capacity for Truth - for our capacity to realize (make real) the Truth of who we are and what is Real. This is why movie vampires (demons) cringe before the symbol of the cross, which refers to Jesus, Who refers to Truth ("I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.") However, the wielder of the cross has to himself realize the symbolic meaning - the Light of Truth which dispels all darkness. Demons have less Reality than we have, or less God is another way of putting it. Demons manifest partial Reality, we as humans are capable of manifesting the "Superabundant Reality" which is God. With God in us (Christ) we can banish demons with the Reality of who we are as 'earthen vessels' that contain Divinity. In other words, it is what we are not what we do that dispels darkness. Become a Light for others.

Marvelous Post Markos...I couldn't feel more called today to act in accordance to the light of truth...I see there can be no other way. A person can run and run and drown into unconsious bliss, imprisoning fear, but the real differences are made during moments of truth...Times when the drowning stops and you can trust in the process of learning and strength, how to reach the surface? An act of faith? sure...In a second.

There is much wisdom and truth in your message. I believe it, you must also. Everyday is important, when you realise that the turning of life never stops, choices are made and things change, personal choice's, global choices...How do we shape them, what do we allow to guide us through this life? Why are they important ?

In this world, Many people seek but are lead astray, many people know but are afraid to say, fear is a demon and Im fighting it right now. It's all quite unjust I think, but after much debate I've seen what you are trying to do, though I did ask for it.

You have a powerful way of transforming a persons arguments against them, even if it will be used for good...I think it would be wise of me now to talk some truths, Because I feel downright trapped...Yes, many of these recollections have been told are about myself. In pursuit for answers I neglected the value of sincerity, I had forgotten of this lesson...Please though, do not judge me. This is a testimony of release, which became an act of reprentence, which is now an appology. If this is what I am, and by knowing what I am dispells the forces opressing me, let it be so.

Though releasing any form of truth makes a person naked, it's probably one of the most powerfull and healing energies. Truth to one's self and others and living up to that. Thanks for guiding me through that phase.
