Magic CO Detector?

 

23 MAY 2007

 

Hi Paul,
My husband and I have had numerous unexplained paranormal experiences in our home over the last 18 years. We chalk them up as curious oddities and move on with our lives, even though some have been borderline bizarre (apportation with human teeth, etc.).

 

However, I am super intrigued by the latest manifestation in our home. My husband, who frequently blows out light bulbs, street lights and stops watches; walked past a carbon monoxide/smoke alarm detector, noticed the flashing lights and then set off the piercing audio alarm. I was in the other room and thought this was a recently installed detector that he was "setting off" as he walked past. But when he finally explained to me that the commotion came from the detector lying on top of our microwave I was a bit freaked. I had removed the battery a month ago (and put the detector on top of the microwave as a reminder to replace the battery). The battery was not dead or weak. It was completely removed. Is this possible to make lights and noises occur on a device with absolutely no power supply?
(he has also "seen" cats that we do not own and other auditory comments from a male voice).


What is your opinion on the matter? I was present at the time of the alarm sounding, on several occasions.

ANSWER:

Dear Jennifer:

If I had a dime for every time I've found electrical devices and kitchen appliances as centers of paranormal phenomena, I could have retired to a more pleasant part of the multiverse by now. In fact, where there is excess electromagnetic energy, there can worlds overlap, creating what to us are odd fluctuations in space and time: paranormal phenomena, including voices.

When I was a cub reporter at a small daily newspaper in Rhode Island in 1979, there was a proposal to run some very powerful high-tension wires through a heavily populated area. Having noticed in my paranormal studies that the presence of such wires seemed to correspond to increased paranormal phenomena, I first of all had a colleague stand, with a florescent light tube, under some high-tension wires in another area. Lo and behold, the tube lit up! It wasn't brilliant, but it was bright enough to show that there was plenty of energy leaking out of those wires high overhead. Some lengthy but discreet inquiries also showed that nearly 60% of the nearby households we could communicate with were experiencing some sort of goings-on that could be interpreted as paranormal.

When I wrote my story, I didn't mention the paranormal phenomena, but the shining light tube created an uproar. The utility company found another route.

You may indeed have legitimate phenomena going on, but it could be permitted, at least to some degree, by your electrical system. Your husband also may be a highly electrical "conductor," especially if electrical devices react when he is near, batteries removed or not. I have a little of that myself: I can't wear battery-powered watches.

If your situation is what it appears to be, you should take steps to keep the atmosphere very happy and positive. That will help keep parasites away. You also might want to have an electrician come by to check the insulation on your wiring.

Near Death Experiences

 

16 MARCH 2007

 

Mr. Eno,

Your visit to Coast to Coast last night was awesome information! Thank you. I lost reception for the last hour, so you may have covered these questions.

What is your take on near death experiences (NDE)? They seem to pretty much to be the same sceaniro.You are greeted by loved ones, the "tunnel" and then told to go back, "It is not your time".


NDE"S in your opinion please? From personal research and experience there is indeed a welcoming committee who arrive at the time of exit. I also would like your input when someone leaves usually there is an arrival of a "welcoming committee" consisting of loved ones, even former pets. It is love that has them return to assist and care for you...right? OR your thoughts.

I can imagine how many responses you have received from the show. Hopefully you can at some point send a reply.

Peace be with you and your loved ones.
Oh, I did have something else that came up. When your son talked about the little boy next to his bed?
Could it have possibly been the little boy Peter who had passed on? That did occur to me, when you spoke of his loving connection and bond to you.

 

Sandra

ANSWER:

Dear Sandra:

I've dealt with a number of people who have had NDEs, some in hospital settings during my early years of study. While the phenomenon itself seems to be pretty universal (including the "tunnel" image), the individual experience of it isn't necessarily so.  

While most NDErs have positive experiences, a few have terrifying ones. Among the former, some are met by recognizable relatives, others by religious figures, still others by someone they don't recognize at all.

Sometimes they report being "sent" back, as you say. Others say they were literally yanked back against their will by resuscitation techniques. A few report being able to come back on their own.

Of course, NDEs can be created in most people in a lab environment by artificially stimulating epileptiform electroencephalographic activity in the brain's temporal lobe. But, as I say in FOOTSTEPS IN THE ATTIC, that does NOT mean that NDEs aren't real. Just as I suspect that some mental illnesses don't create the illusions of other worlds, but actually open doors to other worlds that are really there, it's possible that NDEs do the same thing.

According to most of the few mainstream scientists who have researched NDEs, the phenomenon is simply neurons firing wildly in the brain as the body dies. So what? According to the same scientific framework, everything our body does has evolved to aid our physical survival in the most efficient way. What's the survival value of NDEs unless there's actually something to survive?

In my opinion, NDEs have evolved to ease the transition from our conscious life to the closest one in our subconscious where we will continue our conscious life. The "welcoming committee" you mention (whatever form it takes) probably are guardians (even guardians that are ourselves in other lives) come to ease the transition.

As I've written elsewhere, I think this experience of bodily death and transition to and from parallel lives is the root experience of our existence, and is happening all the time in our vast life across the "multiverse."

As to your second question, the presence in Ben's room didn't come across as Peter but as a very loving man in his 20s. For that and many other reasons, we are convinced it's our unborn son (unborn in our conscious time stream anyway) but a great guardian for us from his parallel life.

Peace and Unity to you and yours also!

Heaven and Hell

16 MARCH 2007

I am a catholic. I heard you on coast to coast and you said you didn't believe in a literal heaven or hell? How can you say that? It says it in the Bible and made known to us by God who says heaven is an actual place and hell is an actual place. How can you go against the Church? Since the church is the spokesmen of God, and it is the church's teaching that there is a heaven and a hell, then there is a literal heaven and hell. You are going against the church's teachings.

 

Ryan

Trafford, Pennsylvania, USA

ANSWER:

Dear Ryan:

While I have a theological education and try to cultivate a reverent and godly life, I am not ordained, nor do I teach any particular religion. I simply seek to share what I believe I have learned from 36 years of working with the paranormal, and the stupendous implications I believe it has for our lives, our understanding of God and our destiny as a species. I get a bit miffed when I'm called to task for that by people who don't understand the very religions they blame me for not espousing.

That being said, you can kiss your career as a theologian "goodbye."

First, I never said there were no heaven and hell. I speculated about what they might mean, and I talked briefly about the theological principle (that somehow never gets communicated to most rank-and-file believers in any church) that hell is a STATE OF BEING, a state of self-imposed separation from God. This was taught by the Fathers of the early Christian Church.

What I said was that we, as it were, make our own bed in the "multiverse" and have to sleep in it.

Until recently, most Catholics (you appear to be one of them) were taught by clergy or nuns, most of whom were of the opinion that ordinary people were too stupid to grasp what's actually in the Bible and the Church's official teaching. Apparently, many of them didn't grasp it themselves. They instead taught terrified children this hideous, literal rubbish about fire and brimstone that is present neither in the Bible nor in official Church teaching.

When "hell" is even mentioned in our miserably translated English-language Bibles (and the word isn't even present in some versions), it's a translation of the Hebrew words "Sheol" or "Gehenna," or the Greek "Hades" or "Tartarus." These essentially mean a place of waiting, the "Underworld" or simply the grave. None of these words means a place of eternal agony. In fact, they correspond far more easily with the Roman Catholic idea of purgatory.

Hell as you understand it is a product of the tormented Western mind, not the Bible or Church doctrine.

Believe it or not, there was a serious debate during the first few centuries in the Church - which still quietly goes on in some circles today -- that, in the end, everyone will be saved because anything else is inconceivable for an all-loving God.

I probably should stop here, but I won't. Frankly, I cannot respect either the mind or heart of anyone who believes that God could hurl finite creatures into eternal punishment for finite crimes! I can imagine no lower -- indeed demonic -- injustice from One who is All-Just! And the idea that anyone could enjoy eternal peace in heaven while anyone they loved -- or anyone at all -- is frying in hell is the greatest slander against all that is good in the human heart!

You fault me for not expressing your beliefs. As one with many years of formal training not only in the Bible but in both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions, I often find heresy after heresy after heresy when Christians describe what they think are the teachings of their own religions!

God gave us brains, and He doesn't mean us to check them at the church (or temple, or mosque) door.

All blessings to you and your family,

Paul

Evidence for Purgatory?

16 MARCH 2007

 

I heard you last night. My comment is that 28 years ago my friend killed himself. On the day of his funeral he came to me in a dream and told me that he was going to have to spend a long time in purgatory because God was mad at him. He and I were not catholic. This really shook me up . So I called a minister that I new and told him what happened. He said that strangely a women had just called him with the same story about the same person. I am now a catholic. Remember that the only truth is Christ Jesus.

 

Also I lived in haunted houses. Nothing ever bad happened except an occasional scare.

 

Michael

Neenah, Wisconsin, USA

ANSWER:

 

Dear Michael:

 

Thank you for your extremely interesting note!

 

Assuming that your experience actually was some sort of message from your friend (and that's a very big "if," even with the minister's corroboration), you seem to accept without question a very common belief that I take serious exception to: As soon as someone "passes over," they immediately know everything.

 

As you know if you listened to the whole "Coast to Coast" broadcast, I started out "ghost hunting" 36 years ago, while I was in the Roman Catholic seminary, and I began with the theory that ghosts as we commonly experience them actually are, precisely as you suggest, souls in purgatory. However, not only did I find no evidence of purgatory, I found no evidence of death as we understand it. What I have found is people (many of whom are "dead" here) living lives on multiple levels in many parallel worlds -- bodies and all. Where the "membranes" of these parallel worlds intersect or cross, we can see, hear or sometimes even communicate. But we also can run into not-nice, non-human entities I call parasites, so best to tread with great care.

 

While some of these worlds seem more "enlightened" or more "aware" -- sometimes amazingly so -- there are plenty of worlds in which those whose consciousness has "passed" from here are more confused, misguided or terrified than ever. Suicide adds another level. It's an ultimate act: ultimate despair, ultimate pain and/or ultimate selfishness. All the evidence I've seen points to the idea that the more self-absorbed someone is (especially suicides) for whatever reason, the less likely their consciousness is to turn up in an "enlightened" parallel world. Just the opposite seems to be the case. That's precisely because enlightenment comes from realizing that it's not about ME, it's about US. Your friend's contention in the dream that God was "mad" at him indicates just this kind of self-absorption.

 

Whether your experience was real or not, the best thing you can do for your friend is to surround him -- and his family -- with your love and compassion, even after 28 years. Whatever doctrinal message you took from your experience probably is out of whack. For spiritual growth, look outward, not inward!

 

By the way, whoever instructed you before you became a Roman Catholic evidently forgot to tell you that the Church is extremely antsy about any message received in dreams, and specifically condemns any attempt to communicate with the dead -- or vice versa. Better bone up on your catechism.

 

Cordially,

Parasites and Depression

16 March 2007

 

My husband, a writer very creative and very smart man, has been afflicted by a deep depression and terror and obsessive thoghts since we moved from Darien, Connecticut to Santa Barbara, California. He has always dealt with underlining panic attacks and depression since he was young. But at this point he can hardly get out of bed, cannot work and keeps in a zombie state due to medications.
We are forced to leave California because we cannot afford to live here anymore. I don't know where to turn, since all the doctors do is prescribe medications for him. I cannot keep the family going with just my job. We are going back to Greenwich, Conn. where his parents live.

I would like to know:  Is it possible that an entity has taken him over and is it possible to get rid of it in any way?
We are both very religious. He is very Catholic. I was raised as Catholic, and now am looking into Buddhism and Chanting with the Nicheren Group called SGI_ which helps me keep my sanity_ but I don't know what to do any more.
Please HELP!
 

Rita

Santa Barbara, California, USA

 

ANSWER:

 

Dear Rita:

 

Your situation sounds pretty desperate. Please understand that I am not a doctor and cannot give medical advice. All I can do is share my own experience with such things.

 

I have seen what is commonly called "possession," most notably in psychiatric hospitals while I was a graduate student. So, yes -- in their most extreme manifestations, parasites can have -- or seem to have -- a certain amount of control over someone, and that can include chronic depression. But there are crucial factors here that you must remember: In my experience, this "possession" cannot occur without a great many preliminary phenomena, often over a period of years. Then, as the parasite feeds and gets stronger, a voluntary "bonding" between it and its victim can take place. This is the operative word: voluntary. The victim must bond with and accept the dominance of the parasite for "possession" to occur. While a parasite may be attracted to the "food" negative human states of existence (like depression) may provide, it can't just waltz in and take over. It's very much a two-way street. And, fortunately, it's rare!

 

Unless all this is the case with your husband, I would doubt a paranormal component to his problem. At the same time, I too am uncomfortable with modern psychiatry and its largely drug-based approach. I'd say your answer is two-pronged:

 

1) Love your husband (you obviously already do!), and the two of you stick together! That in itself repels parasites and will affirm his base of support.

2) Continue your spiritual quest, and take him with you. From my ongoing contact with the Catholic Church, including many friends who are priests, it seems that pastoral care there is at a low level. There aren't enough priests to go around, and among some of those, there often are credibility problems because of scandals and coverups. On the other hand, Catholic spirituality has within it a very healthy caution that is always a good tool in the spiritual life. If you tend toward the Buddhist approach, which can indeed be very healing, seek an EXPERIENCED teacher (not some self-appointed fly-by-night) who will instruct you both in meditation. Tell your husband that the Catholic Church has no problem whatsoever with meditation -- far from it! I myself first learned meditation from Trappist monks.

 

That's your beginning, in my opinion.

 

All good things be yours....

'I am you...You are me'

 

17 March 2007

 

Dear Paul:
 

When I was seven years old, I dreamed of my mother's death. She was in the hospital in the ICU ward, and I had gone to visit her. When I arrived at the hospital and went to the ICU ward, a nurse told me that my mother had just passed away. I looked over through a glass window and looked at my dead mother lying in the bed. Shortly after I left the hospital, I heard organ music.

 

Thirty-five years later, when my mother did pass away, it was exactly the same as in my dream. When I went home, I was the one who played the organ.


The second experience I had was when I was driving home one morning from work. As I drove along the highway, I looked over and saw an Oak tree on the side of a hill. As I looked at the Oak tree, I became the oak tree watching my car traveling down the highway. I could feel every feeling of the tree, and knew of the years I ENJOYED standing on the side of that hill.

My motto to those I meet is.. "I am you and you are me, because we are one."

Dear Tom,

 

Thank you for your beautiful insights! You are among the many, many people I encounter who immediately "recognize" theories about the multiverse as corresponding with their own experiences.

All good things to you and yours,

The Nature of Time

 

17 March 2007

 

Dear Mr. Eno,

 

I heard your first interview on coast to coast last night and I must say I was very intrigued with your multiverse theories. One thing I was thinking is that although you say in that regard that there really isn't such a thing as "past" lives but parallel instead, when one remembers details of an existence, and details of ancient times it can't really be current in that parallel universe, can it?

 

In other words, if I'm remembering living in 18th Century Paris or ancient Egypt, that then cannot be a current France or Egypt, right? So perhaps, if the multiverse theory is correct, then the "past" lives part comes into play when you factor in that time in these multiverse levels is operating on something of a continual timeline, wouldn't you say? In other words, what I may be remembering of ancient Egypt -is- a "past" time in Egypt. I picture it in understandable terms as if you could see it up on a big screen television, if you were explaining it to an audience and it's a real timeline. "Past" may exist over on the left side, and present per se exists on the far right, but it's all up there together.

 

Probably that doesn't make sense outside of my head, but I wonder how you can explain visions of a true "past" life without thinking of some sort of separate but continual timeline that we can all just dip into for those sorts of memories. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this, and if you don't have the time I understand. Nonetheless, thank you for an interesting listen on the radio and more to think about in the never-ending possibilities that we have here on this little planet.

 

Sincerely,

 

Shannon

 

ANSWER:

 

Dear Shannon,

 

Thank you for your very thoughtful note!

 

Certainly the hardest multiverse concept for most people is the notion of the non-existence of time as an objective reality; the simultaneous nature of everything that was, is and will be. That's because we're simply not at the point in our evolution where our consciousness can function on that level -- yet. I'm convinced, however, that we are almost there. I think that next step is upon us.

 

In response to your first comment: Yes, it can be current in that parallel universe because everything is current. Think of each universe as a millisecond of time. Every millisecond of time that (in our terms) "has ever" or "will ever" exist -- or that could possibly exist -- already exists in the multiverse. Why doesn't all this come across to us as just a jumble of past, present and future? Sometimes it does -- for a few whom we consider either mentally ill or (depending on the culture) holy. Generally, though, our consciousness -- our mass consciousness as a biosphere -- organizes the perception of it in a way we can deal with. We move through new universes every millisecond, conscious of one at a time, with our subconscious picking its way through the path of least resistance.

 

This is why attitude, spirituality, cooperation with others, and the whole idea of group consciousness are so utterly crucial not only for where our own conscious lives go, but for where the conscious world goes. If we are positive, loving and can-do, we can chart a course through all sorts of wonderful universes. If we're cynical, hostile, divisive and selfish, we darken the whole world. And parasites are more than willing to feed from that.

 

Yes, you are living lives right now not only in modern France and ancient Egypt, but in 57th century Japan, some planet in the Andromeda Galaxy 50,000 years ago, and in rural Texas three days from now. And it's all "you." What's more, taken to its ultimate spiritual destination, it's all "us." I believe that our memories, our imaginations, our creativity come directly from where our consciousness touches these other, subconscious lives. That goes for "past life" experiences too. That's why I love talking with regression therapists, who often tell me that subjects sometimes describe "future lives" and lives in worlds that are simply unrecognizable.

 

Your screen analogy is a good start, but it doesn't convey the utter Unity. To understand it, you can't just use the brain. You have to experience it with the heart. And we all have to experience it together. Otherwise it won't make sense.

 

As I say in TURNING HOME: GOD, GHOSTS AND HUMAN DESTINY, it's the first day of school, kids.

Possessed?

 

17 March 2007

 

To Paul Eno:

 

I wanted to run a short version of my story by you, or someone you work with.. with hopes that maybe you'd have some advice or could offer me some help..

I'm a 24 year old male, living in Canada. I've been aware of the paranormal since I was a young child, and I believe that I've had run in's with ghosts and parasites since a young age, as well. Particularly, I believe I've been "possessed" or been the host body of an entity or parasite of some sort for.. going on over ten years now. I've had many many horrific experiences that were mostly unexplainable until I came across information on entities about a year ago. That's when everything clicked, and since then I've been doing what I can to remove this curse, to varying degrees of success. I remember when I was first attached, as a child of under 10 years old, it happened in my dreams. I've since seen different entities and demons in my sleep many many times, and I believe the house I lived in from about 10 until just very recently is also haunted. I had to get out and am now a province away from the place, but I'm still experiencing spiritual difficulties.

 

I'm not sure! What else I can do, but its not something I want to live with forever. I thought I'd at least run this by you, to see if you had anything to say about it. Hearing you on C2C the other night resonated very strongly for me, particularly when you were speaking of parasites and host bodies. I believe you know where I'm coming from. If you'd like more detail of my experiences or have any questions or comments please get back to me, and thank you for reading this,

Greg

Vancouver, B.C., Canada

 

ANSWER:

 

Dear Greg:

 

Venturing an opinion at long distance is very difficult, as you can imagine. I know nothing about your medical history, genealogy (that's relevant, believe it or not), your family situation, and what could be happening to "feed" a parasite (if that's what this is) all these years.

 

Regarding possession, you should first of all see my response to "Parasites and Depression" above. Pay special attention to the part that says you have to tacitly agree to being "possessed." Whether you meet these criteria or not, the fact that you realize you have some kind of problem is important. The nature of the problem is another issue. You come across as very much in control, which is good. You also come across as very self-absorbed, which is not good. I'm going to refer you to my "take two aspirin and call me in the morning" page at http://www.newenglandghosts.com/what_to_do.htm . I think this is good, basic advice for any household -- be focused outward, not inward; keep it positive; try to concentrate on the faith, humour and love in your life. And most of all, realize that YOU are in control and that you DO NOT HAVE TO BE A VICTIM.

 

That being said, be aware that some people like the idea of being the victim of a parasite, or at least having people think they are. It gets them attention and makes them feel special.

 

Turn outward, kid!

 

Many blessings,

 

Paul

Experiencing Parallel Worlds

 

18 March 2007

 

Hi, Paul,


I love your work. I have seen and experienced these parallel worlds. I have said before that I am already dead, because I have experienced myself whole, there. Odd as that is... I'm sure you can understand it. Others can't quite get it. yet. But what do you think about birth? If we have gone through birth here, is there birth after death as well? again? Birth is hard, because remembering comes slowly. I wonder how that works. My boyfriend passed a couple of years ago. Sometimes I get to see him and visit. Usually I'm asleep. But I am sure it's real.

 

JT

Paia, Hawaii, USA

 

ANSWER:

 

Dear JT,

 

I think we all experience parallel worlds with great frequency. And I think it's often mistaken for some sort of disorder.

"I just don't feel like I belong here. I feel like someone else! Am I crazy?" is something I hear frequently. We may feel detached from ourselves and even feel as though we're other people, in other places or times, and even that we're living entirely separate lives.

 

That's because we are. The toughest thing to grasp is the simultaneous nature of everything, as I say in "The Nature of Time" above.

 

On the other hand, we live in a society that pretends that things are three-dimensional. I don't expect that will change tomorrow. We have to function in our daily lives, and things like "feeling detached" can be symptoms of chronic depression or other health problems. Still, while doing field work in psychiatric hospitals as a graduate student, I couldn't shake the suspicion that what was happening with at least some of the patients was far more than brain dysfunction. It seemed more like expanded awareness. Of course, we can't be reckless here, but this question badly needs further study!

 

Perhaps the difference between sanity and insanity is learning to control our contact with our whole self throughout the multiverse, rather than letting it control us. That's the next step in our evolution, and I believe it's not far away.

 

As for birth, I often think of it when people ask me what will happen when they die. I ask in return: "Where were you before you were conceived?" The answer is the same, I think. Everywhere. Everywhen. I believe the experience of bodily death and bodily birth are going on all the time throughout the multiverse for us. They are root experiences of our existence.

 

Why all the bother? As I say in TURNING HOME, nothing is more deadly to the human mind than boredom. That's why our folkish ideas about heaven would eventually turn it into hell. Bodily death and birth are our tickets to survival.


Thanks for writing, and give my warmest regards to your boyfriend.

Perceived Time Acceleration

 

18 March 2007

 

Hi Paul,

 

I was inspired to contact you after hearing your interview on coast to coast. I have experienced what appears to be an acceleration of time. It is so intense that I am having lots of trouble getting just basic things done. After hearing your description of parasitic entities, I knew immediately that this is something that has impacted me and my family for generations. Can entities cause time to speed up around you? If so, what can be done? Many people are suffering from this problem. I would love to get your thoughts.

 

Pamela

 

ANSWER

 

Dear Pamela,

 

That is a fascinating question...any question having to do with time is! What you are wondering about is your own, and apparently your family's, experience of what is known in philosophy, psychology and even physics as "psychological time" or "mind time" ...time as you yourself experience it.

 

"Time flies when you're having fun!" "This week sure dragged by!" and other such common statements are true because time is a function of our consciousness. It has no objective reality. Psychological time is real, even according to Einstein, who said that each "reference body" (such as a person) has its own experience of time and space or, as he called it, "spacetime".

 

The key to your answer may be that the electromagnetic fields around us seem to have a significant affect on how we ourselves perceive spacetime. They also, in my experience, can set the stage for ghost experiences and parasite phenomena because they can play havoc with local spacetime, and our own natural, orderly sense of where and when we are at any given moment. As I try to explain in TURNING HOME: GOD, GHOSTS AND HUMAN DESTINY, when conditions are just right, parasites can use these electromagnetic fields as "bridges" between wherever and whenever they are to wherever and whenever we are in our conscious life. Because of this, they can appear to manipulate space and time to some degree (as in poltergeist phenomena). But as for them speeding up your psychological time just to be annoying ... that's something I haven't run into as an isolated phenomenon.

 

So, unless you have other phenomena that indicate the presence of parasites, I'd say your answer lies somewhere else. There could be neural or psychological issues, even genetic ones, that explain your misperception of time. Or your problem could be electromagnetic, caused by what has come to be known as "electropollution."

 

Do you live near an airport or military base? Microwave transmissions (including radar) can create troublesome electromagnetic fields even many miles away. Do you or others in your household fill their rooms with electronic gadgets? Is there a cell phone tower or a broadcasting facility nearby? How about high-tension electrical wires? All these things and more have filled our environment with microwaves, which can cause health hazards, behavior changes in humans and animals, and -- of course -- open the door to paranormal phenomena and/or upset our perceptions of spacetime.

 

Do your neighbors often make "time flies" comments? Does your time perception straighten out or change for the better when you travel? You may live in an area where the electromagnetic fields are just messing with your psychological time.

 

Sorry to give you more questions than answers! But that's where to start.

 

Yours in haste,

Attacked by "Vampiristic Entity"

 

19 March 2007

 

Im plagued by some kind of vampiristic entity-s. the attacks are getting worse over the last seven years, although this began when I was a child or before. Thesel things have ruined my life, they came to me when I was seven and told me Id never have any women in my life. Im sixty four and I have no women in my life, of the few encounters, negitivity ensued. I havent been with a woman in 13years, they or it sucks the energy out of the right side of my head, and I take caffeene pills just to have enough energy to survive. I need help, I live in my van here in Tuscon during the winters, and else where during the summers. This thing, gets people to start fights with me, always strangers. I have no life, I cant seem to act upon any of my ideas, which I would like to fulfill in this life. Im completely sober, I work, Im in pain

ANSWER

 

Dear Alan,

 

There are all sorts of medical reasons these things could be happening. If there is a parasite component, the key is to realize that they don't (at least in my experience) cause symptoms such as you describe, they feed from them. This isn't to say they can't make the situation worse by "pushing buttons."

 

Still, I'm very, very reluctant to set aside people's personal responsibility in favor of blaming parasites for one's problems. I don't like "the Devil made me do it" excuse! In my experience. I never assume a paranormal factor until medical possibilities have been exhausted.

 

The first thing you can do is try to cultivate a take-charge, positive attitude. Nearly impossible to do when you're broke and depressed, I know. Start by trying to turn outward from your problems, one problem at a time. If you have to use social service agencies to get a medical and psychological checkup or treatment, do it. If you have to use them to build some friendships, do it. TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF, and FIGHT SELF PITY. No parasite can conquer that.
