just curious about this critter

[Jlrchrd2]

this little guy (not sure what it is, never seen it) has been around for about 6 months now...at first it used to growl in my ears, run at me really fast from a distance and just jump all around me. now it still jumps and comes at a distance but no more growling...but it still does mess with my ears and once i think it even crawled into my mouth...i'll go in and out of phases of being scared of it and then not being scared of it. i just want it to go away. seriously its so annoying everytime i wake up and then try to go back to sleep i inevitably phase, and it is ALWAYS there everytime i do. i try asking it what it wants but its like i cant or something. i get really angry at it but i feel like being angry at it wont fix the problem. protection and all that white light is good or whatever. Question though, i know its probably my fear based thought-form, but how can i determine if it is a real astral critter or my thoughtform? because it seems by now ive made enough progress with this thought-form that it should just dwindle away...? ughh any advice would help i feel like its draining me of a positive outlook. plus ive been dealing with ear infections and sinus infections and part of me thinks this guy is doing something to me or maybe just using those as a way to get to me? i dont know... but if you do please help

You're jumping to conclusions... honestly, people need to stop doing this. 

Have you considered that perhaps you're interpreting physical symptoms from yourself as this "thing"?  A lot of people tend to externalize things like this to provide justification for them.

This would also account for why you're experiencing what you are during your Projections, because you're EXPECTING to experience something to do with it.

You mention ear infections and sinus infections... these could easily play into the sounds you were "hearing".

I'd suggest a doctors visit to make sure things are okay with you physically.  I'm going to lean towards this being a physical problem.

You are feeling it as a presence that you can sense rather than see, is that correct?

The sensation when it growls in your ear... is it a rumbling growl that creates physical sensations in the ears.. like tickling (not too important)?

Its presence can be anywhere... you can never get a bead on it because it is constantly moving... is this correct?

It is/was quiet at first and then gets louder "run at me really fast from a distance and just jump all around me" am I correct?

Does it only seem to manifest before and after your phasing?

Is it accompanied by sensations of dread or fear?

If all these answers are yes... then I have a very good idea what it is.

xanth- i see your point. i have been having alot of physical issues lately but this little guy has been around for a while (a good 4 or 5 months before any sinus infection or what have you). and the growling/ jumping/ running around my body that i experience by this guy is not something that could be confused with "pressure of the sinuses" or "fluid in the ears". However you're completely right, every time i phase i think "this guys going to be here" and i expect it to pounce up, and it does..clearly a cycle needs to be broken.

i do think its a thought-form the more i think about it but i don't know much of anything so i cant be positive. i guess i just would like to know how people differentiate between the two (thought-form and real conscious astral critter).

bedeekin-
yes, to almost all. im getting the notion that these are all common "sensations" people experience when phasing?..

Honestly?  It sounds like you want this to be something external to you so badly that you're trying really hard to convince yourself of that. 

i do think its a thought-form the more i think about it but i don't know much of anything so i cant be positive. i guess i just would like to know how people differentiate between the two (thought-form and real conscious astral critter).

Sometimes it can be impossible to tell the difference.  Mostly, it's through experience.
And a general rule of thumb I've found is that "more than likely" (ie 9 times outta 10), it's nothing to do with the non-physical.

Anyway, you'll end up doing what you feel is best for yourself... go with your gut.

 Have you tried talking to it? If it's happening during Phasing, then yes this is one of "freaky" things, that albeit aren't necessarily common among all people, can occur during this process. Just passively observe it and move on to the next challenge!  
Good Luck and Safe Travels!

Xanth has a good point! I remember watching one of Tom Campbells videos and he was talking about a lot of different things really... But he started talking about data, and I have begun to ask myself in my experiences if what I see is important to me etc... Is the data you are receiving useful? etc? It's hard to explain it from how he was saying it... He can explain things a lot better than I can. Manifestation is a big thing in the astral and it happens instantly. I had a dress following me around in one of my OBE's. A dress! It would keep following me so I punched it and it just dropped on the ground. It was more of a push really... but I simply just realized the dress wasn't anything important to me and it was most likely a manifestation lol. Like I said I wish I remember which video it was so I could link you... But Xanth is dead on. I just can't explain it really well.

All of these things are symptoms of Sleep Paralysis. You are just interpreting them using specifics.

They are mainly physical in nature, that of which Xanth is correct... but are perfectly natural.

If you were phasing based upon the information that leaves out or disregards SP (because SP is not important nor needed (true statement)... then I'm not surprised you mistook these as meaning something.

Many people report some of the most bizarre things when experiencing SP... I recognised them as soon as I read your quandary.
