You're aware that a lot of sex magick doesn't require a partner, right?
I've seen the LBRP done correctly, and it's reasonably good.


--Winged Wolf

You're right--I did assume you had some psi ability.  I should've asked.
But there are an awful lot of "weak psis" out there who have just a smidgen of ability, but all of the more annoying side-effects as mentioned.  *shrug*
It's not impossible that you were cursed....but is there any particular reason someone would have done that?
And are you sure you're counting up your good luck as well as your bad?

Hey, we have 5 caged entities in the workshop, and haven't been bothered by anything in years.
(Most of these we went and got off of other people who requested help).


--Winged Wolf

Now, that's entirely possible.  But something that involves magnetism and a high electrostatic charge could do the trick more safely, perhaps.  A lot of radionics devices utilize that effect.


--Winged Wolf

One of the problems I've had over time is that different people may use different names for the same entity--or worse, the same names for different entities.  I have an interest in classifying these things (I've even got a website up on it, but it's in pieces due to loss of graphics when Crosswinds crashed during the wtc attack...it's at http://www.angelfire.com/realm2/wingedwolf/Parazoology/index.html if anyone's curious).

So, I've had the following entities called "demons"--
Small critters that attach themselves to a person and influence their mood in a negative way.
"Black shadows"--human-sized entities which appear as black auras, sometimes with red eyes.
Just about anything invoked and bound in a sorcerous ritual that has a less than conscientious personality.

So, what is a demon?  The ones I've encountered which were called demons seem to be made of life/faith energy mix....but so are angels and fae spirits.  The personality seems the only real difference there.  Insofar as that goes, they come in all shapes and sizes, and all power levels from wimpy to "pray for a nuclear strike".

Anyone have any insights or suggestions on this?  I don't think anyone has ever taken on the task of classifying spirit entities and gotten anywhere useful with it.


--Winged Wolf

No, I meant the recent sensations might be caused by your own energy movement--you said you weren't sure the entity was still there.


--Winged Wolf

Hm, my view's a bit different--I don't think there is such a thing as good and evil--I think that we call something we like and approve of good, and something we don't like and disapprove of bad.  I don't think there are any universal concepts of good or evil--what is good to one person, may be evil to another, and so on.  We can't even agree among our own species, let alone other species.
Things just are as they are--all colors, not black or white.  To me, there's beauty in things as they are--harsh or kind, viscious or gentle--or all of those things in one, at different times.  Humans used to believe that wolves were evil, because they competed for prey and killed human livestock occasionally.  Now, we believe that they're beautiful, and we admire their family values!

All this talk about good and evil spirits....it seems to me exactly the same thing.  Spirits are like animals...as above, so below.  (We are animals, too....).  They are not good or bad--they are as they evolved to be, or were designed to be--they do what they do to survive.
There's beauty in a demon as in an angel.  You don't want it around you, perhaps, but nonetheless, it's a unique thing, another type of "life".  I think everyone should have some appreciation for that.  There's no use hating something for doing what it needs to do to survive--you stop it if it's hurting you or yours, but what use to assign the motive of malice to it?
Perhaps this view is too much for most people....I may be the odd one.

A decent shield will block most remote viewers--just put it far enough out from the point you don't want them to view.
If they're more skilled, you have to get more clever with your shielding.
Rule--there's always someone out there better than you are.  But that goes for everyone else, too.
Sounds like a great way for two friends to improve their abilities--one tries to view, the other tries to block, and they both make progress learning new ways around barriers, and new ways to block.


--Winged Wolf

I can't agree with the suggestion to use earth energy--it's not the same type of energy you produce naturally, and it may in fact make you MORE tired to store it in your body, even if it makes you hyper when you first draw it.
If your energy level is low, try doing some energy circulating exercises, listen to active music, etc--more stimulation will increase your body's production of energy naturally.
But it may be that the energy that's low isn't the type you're using in NEW.  Look to your diet, stress level, sleep patterns, and such.


--Winged Wolf

Also, don't feel you have to use chakras.  I've never seen one in a person who didn't "know about" them.  I tend to think that people create them, and they aren't actually something that's there naturally.  Your mileage may vary--something to think about.
(I'm a trained psi who never does chakra work.  Some nerve clusters correspond to chakra points, but not all of them---for example, there's no major psi nerve cluster near the "root chakra" area--but there are nerve clusters related to psi in the solar plexus and "third eye" areas).
I'm not saying they're necessarily bad, some folks seem to find them to be a useful tool.  I just don't believe that they're more than a created tool.


--Winged Wolf

Very well...
Here's what I was taught, and what I have observed for myself as well:

The human aura (as well as that of most animals, and even many plants), is comprised primarily of two types of energy--Life energy, which is a very heavy, "solid"-seeming energy carried at the core of their field, and psi-energy, which is a "lighter" seeming, static-like energy which comprises the bulk of the aura.  Life energy is very enduring--this is what the soul is made of.  In fact, I've come to believe that the dan tien IS the soul.  When a person dies, this "chakra" pulls the amazing trick of flying off on its own.  To me, that's pretty suspicious.
As well, people do not generate life energy.  They use it--it radiates from the energy center throughout their life, and although that center is somewhat depleted over the course of a lifetime, it is never tremendously depleted--it's like a diamond shedding minute bits of carbon dust, it's tremendously dense.  This radiated energy tends to circulate up toward the brain, but stays basically at the core of the aura.
Life energy is found in ALL living things....I personally believe that it is necessary for life to exist as life.  (In other words, the soul is utterly necessary for life).  This is supported by reports from people who have done OOB type astral projection that involves sending the soul out of the body (not the sort of thing I'd recommend, to be sure!).  Occasionally, one will be prevented from returning.  The body falls into a deteriorating coma, and eventually dies, even with life support.

Now, psi-energy on the other hand is only found in living things which have a nervous system, or a nervous-system-like structure (as some plants do).  It appears to be very HIGHLY interactive with electromagnetism, to the degree where electromagnetic effects can create psi, and vice versa.  As well, psi can be manipulated via electromagnetically active devices, and the vast majority of functional radionics devices, including those purporting to be orgone or chi devices, utilize or generate psi-energy.

Now, the more controversial part of this--which all of my observations have STILL born out so far, even though I keep a close eye out for any exceptions:
All born psychics naturally use psi-energy.
While people may be born who have an affinity for other energy types (much the same way Mozart had an affinity for music), none are born who have innate ability to use it.
This is the difference between Mozart playing music, and a baby laughing.  Mozart did have to learn to play, although he picked it up amazingly quickly.  A baby does NOT have to learn to laugh--that is instinctive.
For about 10% of the population, use of psi is INNATE--instinctive.  Most of these folks have only very weak abilities and no reasonable instinctive control of them--but nevertheless, the abilities manifest without any prompting, and they are there.
A small percentage of these are born with the instincts to use the abilities, as well as having active abilities, and so on.
And such folks ALWAYS use psi, until or unless someone teaches them to use something else (or they read it in a book ).
Since many of the "high-psis", those born with abilities at higher levels, and instinctive use of them, find that other types of energies clash with their nervous system, the theory was formed that it may not be a good idea for born-psis to use outside-derived energies at all (at least, not directly).  Life energy isn't outside derived...but it's very different from psi, and folks are not born with an innate ability to manipulate it.  (In fact, folks are not born with an affinity for it, either--no one we have yet to meet, anyhow).

When I was younger, I learned Wicca--I learned to use earth energy.  Once I discovered psionics, and began training in pure psi, I stopped doing that....and my abilities skyrocketed.  I cannot discount that.  I do believe that born-psis are "wired" to use psi energy, and psi-energy alone.
I'm not personally willing to experiment to find out whether or not using life energy will damage my nervous system/energy system as earth energy did.  More power to those who choose to specialize in using life energy--it's great for healing, for one thing.
But, I'm born-psi, and psi is what I'm adapted to use best.



--Winged Wolf

Well, just like any parasite, they want to live, and your energy is lunch.  Try sensing around to see if they have "roots" running up through your nervous system.


--Winged Wolf

Hmm...the sensations you describe could be caused by your own energy movement, rather than by an entity, but I wouldn't rule anything out.  Anyone here want to go take a look?


--Winged Wolf

My mentor once said that synchronicity follows psychics like flies follow ...well, you get the point.
"Extreme luck", it's called--extremely good, or extremely bad, often alternating.  MANY psychics "suffer" from this.  What is it?  Perhaps it's random probability alteration effects.  Truth is, we don't know--but we ARE pretty sure it isn't "the evil eye", nor anything someone did to us as a child--it's far too ubiquitous.

Other common psychic traits:  "Weirdness magnet"--odd things happen to you more often than to others.  And of course, shorting out electronics, that's common, too.

My grandmother and mother both had something like the ability you describe, but they were fully aware of it.  If someone ticked them off enough for them to hold a grudge, that person was NOT going to have a good time.
The "cure"?  Train your abilities, and thus gain control over them.  Half of control is NOT doing something when you DON'T mean to do it.


--Winged Wolf

Now, the person did not say they were the target of ANY sort of attack.  If they had, I would have given different advice.  They simply are aware of these activities in their area.

Next--for crying out loud, call the police if people are breaking into your house!  If you're extra lucky, they'll get prints off the knives.  Set up a physical alarm system.  You don't fight physical attacks with psychic tactics alone.   Buy a gun, man!

Oh, and I am female, by the way.


--Winged Wolf

Do you know anything about shielding?  I had a friend who had night terrors, and he found that they were greatly reduced when he put up a house shield.  Whether your experience is a sleep disorder or an entity, it might help--certainly worth a try.

--Winged Wolf

While entities do exist which are capable of killing people, they are exceedingly rare--and seldom attach themselves to people in the manner described.  Entities which can kill people by vamping ALL of their energy are even more rare--I've never actually met anyone who has encountered one.  I didn't get the impression this person was being radically influenced by these entities--he was aware of them, and actively seeking a way to get rid of them.  That suggests a relatively weak entity.
Are you honestly telling me you wouldn't try to remove a tick because it might get mad at you?  I didn't get the impression these things were very large, and while density plays a factor as well, the size suggested (somewhere between baseball and basketball, I'd gather) suggests a lower powered entity as well.
My advice is always that the person try to deal with the problem THEMSELVES.  If they can't, THEN ask for help.
What he described were a bunch of little astral parasites--something anyone with a bit of direction should be able to take care of by themselves.
Did you COMPLETELY miss the part where he said that he had been able to remove the entities himself upon occasion?  This guy needs to pick them off, then learn REAL shielding.


--Winged Wolf

Thank you, I hadn't been to that site yet.  (Found the address for this forum on a newsgroup).
Interesting!  A lot of stuff on this board has seemed a tad "newagey" to me so far, so I admit I was skeptical.  However, the NEW method does seem viable.  It was intriguing to note the similarities and differences of approach between it and the method I was trained in (part of which is online at http://www.thepsionguild.net/student.html).
There's much more of a focus on energy-sensing in NEW.  A few things I wouldn't do, like work with the dan tien (sub-navel energy storage or whatnot...this center actually "stores" a completely different TYPE of energy from the other areas of the body, and I was trained to work only with what we call psi-energy.  That center would be the life-energy center).
Aside from that point, however, the notion of working so intensively on energy-sensing is something I may just have to experiment with.  Many of my students ask how they can develop their energy-sensing ability, as our training is so output-oriented.  The only answer we had was that it will come in time, with continued use.  And, it does...but the methods you have there just may expedite that.
I look forward to many happy modifications and experiments with the NEW method.

I am talking about actual Satanists--NOT about black ceremonial magickians, practitioners of vodoun, or ANYTHING else.  Very few Satanists have a level of skill high enough to take on a person who has reasonable knowledge of psychic self-defense.  Little kiddie devil worshippers even less so.

Now, someone who's a beginner, or has no such skills, yes they'll be vulnerable.  
And I agree, moving away isn't the answer--unless they don't know you exist, of course, then they're not going to follow you because they weren't interested in you in the first place.

As to ignoring my posts--you and I are probably going to disagree a lot.  IMO, that's fine.  People will decide for themselves which advice they agree with.  This isn't a competition.  I have a great deal of experience, and a great deal of training in psychic combat and defense.  You may, as well--but it may be quite different from mine.
It may be that sometimes, one of us is correct, and the other is not--or both may be correct--or neither.  We have no way of knowing this--we have only OUR experiences to draw on, and the conclusions we draw from them are honest.  That's what we have to offer to people--nothing less, and definitely nothing more.


--Winged Wolf

Dude, if they're stuck to you that way, you're ALREADY "possessed" by them--at least as much as you're ever going to be.  Grabbing them with your hands isn't going to suddenly make you any more vulnerable than having the thing attached to the back of your neck or wherever (a favorite location).

When an entity attaches itself to you that way, it's tapping into your nervous system.  By grabbing it and pulling it away, holding it in your hands with an energy barrier, you're removing its influence over your nervous system, and gaining control over it.  What are you worried about, that it's then going to become stuck to your hands?  That's no worse than where it was before.

This is just a very simple way to deal with it--so simple it must seem like there has to be something wrong with it, but there's not.  The only "danger" is that you won't have the psychic strength to pull the thing off of you.  Then you'll just have to try something else.

Now, if you are a person who is doing this FOR SOMEONE ELSE, then you have a point--you might end up with the entity attached to you, instead of them, if you aren't skilled enough and strong enough to hold it.


--Winged Wolf

Hmmm....here's a theory to toss out on this.  I've never personally noticed any problem with spirits crossing water, but I'll take your word for it.

Perhaps some weak entities have problems with water because of the ionization effect.  This is the same reason burning sage may work, or salt water asperging.

Conversely, some entities will be able to make use of the energy effects created by water, and use it as a power source.

I would think that entities affected by running water would also have trouble with live electrical wires and functioning appliances.  There's an enormous amount of electrostatic interference in a city.  I can't think of any reason why an entity's personality or motives would have any effect on this (ie, "good" or "bad").  I've always had a problem with the whole "positive" and "negative", thing though--IMO, as above, so below--and vice versa.  They're out to survive, just as material living things are, and that can be good, bad, and everything in between.  Whether something is good or bad just depends on our opinion of it--if it's attacking us or hindering us, we call it bad.  Cows would probably think humans were demonic, if they had that capability.
Most of the entities I've encountered are neutral in this respect--meaning that, even if they do harm, they don't do so out of malice, but out of need to survive.
Which is not to say we shouldn't take them out when we encounter them.


--Winged Wolf

That very much depends....much of the time "evil eye" is little more than superstition, usually directed against some innocent person who seems odd.
In the occasional culture where persons try to use it deliberately, it's as likely to be a magickal attack as a psychic one.  (That is, utilizing associative actions/elements and drawing on outside energies).


--Winged Wolf

If you don't like the location--fix it.  In my experience, Satanists don't generally have enough of a grasp of what they're doing to actually notice that they're being interfered with, and if they do, they probably won't be able to figure out who dunnit.  You could just clean the place up, and lock everything down.


--Winged Wolf

OK, I'll bite--where can I find a detailed description of NEW?

--Winged Wolf

Unless this is actually VERY uncomfortable or painful, I wouldn't worry about it overly much.  Burning sensations, energy surges, even trembling or hot flashes, and dizziness are things that I've seen associated with a rise in a person's ability to generate and store energy.  This ability increases when a person practices energy working regularly.  It may be a bit uncomfortable, but I've never seen anyone come to harm from it.
Just like working out--you feel the burn.
