Not sure.

Last night, I had a strong feeling that I was being manipulated in some way. I felt slightly cold, and my gut feelings was strong. I also found myself doing something that I would not normally do. Finally, I felt that I was "holding on" and resisting something. What was happening to me? Maybe it was nothing?

Dear heter,

When we become aware that there is more to reality then just the everyday, it is easy to get a little spooked.  

A big part of training before most people are introduced to the greater reality is to have the ability to calm and clear the mind -- mind mastery.  Robert talks about this in his book PPSD.  This is where we learn to quiet the mind for longer and longer periods of time.  I practice mind quieting every day.  It helps to look at the second hand of a clock and focus so intensely on the second hands movement that no thoughts enter your mind.  With time you no longer need the clock.  A mile stone is the ten minute mark without thought intrusion.  A person has to very gradually work up to this.  The vaule in doing this is we can immediately slip into this process of calming the mind (because it has become habitual) when something unusual happens.  This calmness allows us to gain control over our mental processes quickly and avoid these types of situations.  But as with all these things it takes practice.  The clock exercise also helps with meditation and trance and loads of other stuff.  

Best Wishes and Best Regards,
violetrose

What were you doing that you don't normally do?
I wouldn't overestimate the situation (you had then.. lol long time ago), the person above me got it pretty right on.
