AP with an entity living in your house?

[Mayan]

Hi, I'm new 

I've lived in this house for nearly 4 years with my housemate.  Only recently did we finally talk about the spirit that lives on the stairs, even though we've both known it's there for a long time.  It's fairly placid but does like to push or pull people down the stairs from time to time and housemate nearly had a light fitting from the hallway fall on her head.

I'm currently going through steps to prepare myself for AP - meditations, affirmations, chakra cleansing, protection with white light etc.  Last night in my meditation, a light opened up and tried to get me to go but i didn't feel ready.  I'm nearly there, just not quite.

I fell asleep after the meditation and woke up about 1am and went downstairs for some water, leaving the light on in the stairs.  As I came out of the kitchen, I turned the light off as usual and walked into the dining room to go upstairs.  The neighbour's security light went off and left me in pitch black. I know that I didn't turn the light off. I thought for a minute about which light to turn on, then decided that was stupid and went to the bottom of the stairs and tried the light. Nothing. I turned the light on of the landing which worked, went upstairs and went to bed.  This morning the light was working fine.

All of this made me think - is it a good idea to AP when you know you've got a spirit living in your house? I'm working on protection as well, but is there anything else I can do to protect myself?

I have always been nervous if I feel other things around. But on the other hand, I'm sure things have been around with me not feeling them and I've been fine. I think even when we're not consciously trying to protect ourselves, we have an innate way to keep up our guard. If you give into fear, that's when things can get shaky. The mind is pretty powerful and if you believe you're safe, that's reassuring that you will be safe. Confidence can be very powerful.

Well... you have already set yourself up to most likely experience whatever you believe may or may not be there.

You cannot know that a spirit lives on your stairs... unless you 'know' first what a spirit is... I don't... You can believe that there is one there... regardless... Just stay away from the stairs when you 'AP'.

Agreed that maybe the terminology is incorrect, after all, words are just labels. I don't *know* that it's a spirit, but I do know for sure that there is something, some kind of energy, there.

I don't believe that you need to have an understanding of something, in order to experience that thing. If anything, it's the not knowing, the not understanding of something that makes us fearful or wary of it.

I was bashing out semantics... but you said you 'KNOW'... know is a pretty big word. lol

What I am saying is that regardless of whether you know, think... or have a mild inkling... you are already setting yourself up for experiencing SOMETHING because of your BELIEF in it.

But like I said... stay away from the stairs.
