Dark energies, entities and spirits — What are they exactly? (1 Viewer)

[Laron]

Here is an article I wrote and posted on transients.info back in February 2014.

Memories of the Afterlife: Life Between Lives: Stories of Personal Transformation — Edited by Michael Newton with case studies by members of the Newton Institute. This is a book I have had for a while now which contains many cases from those qualified in Michael Newton's past life regression technique (LBL), as taught through the Newton Institute.

I have learnt Michael Newton's technique and it is very similar to Dolores Cannon's, except Michael Newton focuses much more on the spirit world and the goings on between lives and experiences. For example, in a standard regression, he only gets the client to recall one life before moving onto the afterlife / between Earth lives. The technique is powerful and effective for its purpose, but the main difference between Dolores Cannon's technique and Michael Newton's, is that Michael doesn't call in the higher self at any stage, but he does get help from the council of elders with relation to healing issues and getting questions answered.

The council of elders is a group of advanced beings which souls report to between each life here on Earth.

Most of the time when I read these types of books, I make notes so that I can refer back to anything important. One note I did make with regards to this book was based upon negative spirits and bad energy. The material I am going to quote isn't long, but I find it very detailed and interesting, and it may be of interest to those out there who wonder about such things.

This information does resonate with me and matches closely to my own beliefs and experience as an energy healer and past life regressionist. It also fits into what I have learnt through other trusted sources which I have ran into.

One thing to remember, Michael Newton has had thousands of clients and his material is based upon a pattern and long history of many sessions through his clients. I therefore find his opinions and information worth listening to. But each of us receive specific patterns and types of clients for a reason. What I mean is that some of us are meant to have experiences with a certain type of client or pattern of clients for a purpose and for a reason.

One of those reasons may be based upon what we do in the future with getting our information out there. If we ever do get into publishing a book or doing talks, we are doing so while sharing the information that we are very experienced in. Clearly, Dolores Cannon comes from a specific angle with regards to her books, as any reader would notice.

Past life regressionist Brian L. Weiss also comes from a certain angle and direction which I find to be a much more practical and scientific approach, which is perfectly fine of course.

Information is also sometimes blocked and withheld for a reason when it comes through in hypnosis via a past life regression session. One of those reasons relates to the human race here on Earth, not being ready to hear certain types of information. This has been clearly demonstrated by examples that Dolores Cannon has given, such as when she has lost specific recordings which have turned up later on, because that information was not meant to be released yet. Or when she is asked not to write about such information in her books.

Moving on, within this example, a client named Marcus is taken back to a past life and then guided to the other side after his death within that life. After the explanation of what went on while in the spirit world, there is a description within the book of a follow up with Marcus two years later. This is where I will start.

"It's two years later and the changes in Marcus's life that have resulted from his LBL session are profound. He has met his guide, his soul group, and his council. He has directly experienced different places of existence and has expanded his consciousness. Healing energy is transmitted spontaneously through his hands. He hasn't been handed all this knowledge on a plate though.

His ability to perceive has been greatly enhanced, but to some degree he is still exploring uncharted territory, and this takes courage. There have been times when he has blocked out perceptions for fear of losing his sanity. At one time, during meditation, he become aware of a spirit scanning his body. Another time, again during a meditation, an apparently angry spirit began to tear at the energy around his heart center, and he rapidly shook himself back to full alertness."​

I will now quote a footnote by Michael Newton in relation to the mention above of angry spirits and Marcus's case study.

"We are told that Marcus has had to 'block out perceptions' for fear of losing his sanity. Psychologically, this statement is very revealing in the light of what follows in terms of meditations, long after his sessions, where this client was frightened by 'angry spirits' who were ready to take over his body. There are people who are terrified of the idea that mediation, hypnosis, sleep, being in a coma, etc, let down the mental barriers of the conscious mind and leave us open to demonic spirits.

A whole cottage industry has emerged in recent years over this false belief system. The misuse of 'energy cleansing' therapy in some quarters under the title of 'spiritual attachment release' is a good example.

This smacks of exorcism and attracts people in certain religious circles. Every concept in our conscious mind has its own psychic associations that vary in intensity depending on life circumstances and belief systems.

The notion that evil spirits are waiting to attach themselves to our soul creates unnecessary fear with susceptible people who are attracted to medieval superstition, because many feel they deserve to be punished for their transgressions on Earth.

While there are discarnated souls who are not ready to go into the light after death, and even extraterrestrial souls (souls who have never been incarnated in human form), or simply curious or mischievous souls, there are not 'dark forces' involving evil or demonic entitles ready to attach or steal the souls of the incarnated.

Why?

Because evil does not exist in the spirit world — a sphere of love, compassion and kindness.

The idea of dangerous spirits ready to inhabit the human mind is not something the highly advanced, benevolent beings of the spirit world would permit. Many of us working in the field of spiritual integration involving the soul and human brain believe that the notion of spirit attachments are fragments of one's own self that require healing.

Suppressing aspects of the self may create a phenomenon that resembles possession as an aspect of the unintegrated self. Psychologically, such negative energy in fearful people often involves feelings of guilt, unworthiness, personal inadequacy, and a variety of unresolved issues in life.

It is relevant for readers to know that if Marcus had experienced a troublesome and unaccounted spirit during his session, the LBL facilitator in this story would have dealt with it promptly. Such disturbing visualisations are rare in our work, but they do occur.

As an example, the therapist in this case worked with a lady who visualised something similar to Marcus, and the facilitator immediately called in this woman's personal spirit guide for assistance. The guide explained that the dark, sinister figure who came 'to steal' this hypnosis subjects soul was actually a member of her own soul group on a mission to shake her out of her depression and learn to value her life more." — Michael Newton​

I hope that this has given you some more insight into this topic that it seems so many people are fearful about and who may have mistaken their own experience that may have formed negatively into their personal belief system.

A whole cottage industry has emerged in recent years over this false belief system.

This includes much of the concepts within 'new age' community that indirectly sell the same 'old age' story of separation and 'us or them'. Individuals usually buy into much of what is being promoted, but don't realise the similarity and beliefs of organized religion with its dogma and the 'savior complex' underpinning it. Some levels of consciousness that is misunderstood often is perceived as 'evil' beings that mean us harm.

When learning to maneuver in the nonphysical we are often confronted by our fears before we can pass consistently through the gates into the more refined frequencies of instant manifestation. Without mastering our consciousness or moving beyond our fears we are not allowed free reign in those vibrational states as we are not energetically able to have resonance with them.

Has anyone else read this?

 

[Lorna Wilson]

I have. I love all of Newtons work. If anyone isn't familiar with it here is some of his researched material:

Dr. Michael Newton's Journey of Souls Research

 

[Lorna Wilson]

While there are discarnated souls who are not ready to go into the light after death, and even extraterrestrial souls (souls who have never been incarnated in human form), or simply curious or mischievous souls, there are not 'dark forces' involving evil or demonic entitles ready to attach or steal the souls of the incarnated.

I used to have similar thinking until being exposed to them in my sessions. Whether their misguided souls or not is a moot point as these beings are focused on very negative interactions. It might very well be that Dr Newton was not karmically destined to have encounters with negative spirits, but that does not mean they don't exist. I do believe it has something to do with polarity, and negative polarity at that.

The rituals in Satanic Ritual Abuse deliberately conjure up negative entities. The Arabic world speak of the Djinn which gave birth to the 'genie in the bottle' myths that grants your wishes. Hank Wesselman a western anthropologist wrote of his experiences with a djinn.

It's not easy to believe in negative entities until one has a direct experience of them. Dolores wrote in the Nostradamus series of her client being attacked in the night by the 'Antichrist' character, yet still she later claimed there are no 'dark' entities. I think she also mentioned in the Jesus book about negative spirits.

David Furlong has this to say on the topic:

I have read with interest some of the comments about spirit attachments and their release. To boil this subject down to the very basic we can list all spirits into two categories – those that are benign and that those that are malign. The latter group includes all dark beings, demonic entities and so on. Benign spirits may be confused and lost but they are not inherently evil and when contacted are generally willing to co-operate with the therapist in being helped. Malign spirits on the other hand will do everything in their power to oppose their removal.

There are also two broad conditions for the client. Spirits can be loosely attached to the aura or they can found buried within the psyche attached to specific sub-personality parts. Put more simply they are either within the psyche or outside of it. The latter, whether dark or not can generally easily be cleared through face to face therapeutic work or from a distance. All SR practitioners can learn to do this clearing by learning basic healing techniques. Those that have formed attachments to sub-personality parts are more complex as the specific sub-personality or personalities need also to be healed. Otherwise it will simply invite back other entities.

The hardest cases are those that involve malign beings for once a ‘dark entity’ has gained access to a sub-personality and subverted it, they are very difficult remove as often there are different contracts that need to be cleared. These latter cases generally come from those that have been entangled with dark magic in previous lives. In all of my working practice as a therapist I have never been able to clear up such a case in one session. It can take many sessions. I spoke recently with Tom Zinser who told me the last ‘dark being’ he removed took over twenty-five sessions. In these case be prepared for the long haul.

Tom Zinser who is mention has a series of books out for therapist who deals with sub personalities, alters and other negative things affecting people, primarily through gross trauma's where the personality fragments.

A psychiatrist found a method of removing them from the owner of the body followed him home wanting to know why he was cutting him up. The book can be read for free. Thirty Years Among the Dead by. Dr. Carl A. Wickland, M.D.. Originally published in 1924.

Then there is Dr J who came to the conclusion that 'demons are real' through his extensive work with the criminally insane.

'Dr J., licensed therapist with 35 years of experience on the frontline of mental health. He spent seven years at one of the largest state hospitals in the world, 14 years in the psychiatric department of a state prison, and 10 years in hospital crisis and treatment programs—all the while studying his patients’ inner thoughts/demons. Dr. J. is currently writing a book on this topic.'
