Hi, everyone
This has been a good discussion, hopefully no one is being killed or cursed
over here. (handing out ice packs and bandages here...) I think each of the
two views (entities are merely one's projection vs. entities do exist and
they show us lessons) have their time of truth. I know it´s absolutely
possible for our self-delusion to come in to play, but I also think Sylvia
Brown (the psychic with a couple books on Amazon.com) has her credible
status. I am going to try to clarify them with my understanding of the
Taoist paradigm.
The Taoists believe that there are eight bodies for human (Relaxing into
Your Being, P50-54), the first is the physical body, the second chi body,
and then the emotional, mental, psychic, casual, Body of individuality, and
the body of the Tao. Physical body is under your skin; chi body occupies
the same space but expands out more than the first body. Each successive
body occupies the previous space and extends further out. The first body
(physical) is the most dense of all. The higher the body the less dense it
is. As for the level of power, the higher the body the more powerful it is.
To develop a higher body, the lower bodyneeds be clear of all blockages. If
the lower body is unclear, the higher body will not be fully developed and
it will influence the lower body greatly. As the author says “Each higher
energetic body has a more powerful ability to influence the lower bodies
than vice versa. Nonetheless, without the support of the preceding lower
body, the next higher will be unable to manifest its full power”.
The chi body is generally connected with the health and vitality of the
individual. In the emotional body, the blockages are generally referred by
Chinese as “demons” or “ghosts”, clearing blockages of this body will “rid
yourself of the negative emotional residues from childhood and later
experiences and break the restraints that come from how you were conditioned
to love by your parents, teachers, and role models…” The mental body has to
do with the clarity of your thoughts. The psychic energy body allows us to
find our hidden internal abilities. This is where the shaman or guides come
in. The casual body is the level at which one can manipulate energies.
When one´s body unifies with the seventh body, the ego “reaches its full
potential and then completely dissolved… This is the level that the
Buddhist considered “enlightenment””. The person who completes the
unification of the eighth body is considered “guardian of the world”. This
is the best I can do to describe the higher bodies, you can find more info
form the book.
When one´s lower bodies´ blockages are not completely cleared, developing
the higher bodies is like building a tall house on the soft landfill, it may
hold for a while but eventually collapses and damages all the lower bodies
beneath it. That´s what happened when people see “entities” (they have at
least developed to the emotional body or probably psychic body but with
blockages in them) and “the entities rob their chi or energy” (the highest
body developed by that person collapse and cause damages on all lower
bodies, including the mental (bad memory or difficult to concentrate), the
emotional (mood swing, loving/forgiving, depression), the chi body, (low
energy and no vitality) and the physical body (changed libido, pain in the
chest, digestive problem, and etc.)
I wrote my story to caution about what happened to me, not to throw
judgments on anyone. It was my hope that all this will help individuals at
the stage I was to get out of the hallucinations. And with the great
discussions we had here, we the novice ones can identify the truth more
easily, thus avoiding to fall into the traps of some cult groups. At the
stage of collapsing bodies, it´s easy for one to be recruited by cults.
A general guideline to identify the person experiencing the true or
self-delution entities, if I must think of it, that would be if one is in
excellent health after K risen, with no K signs or symptoms as listed on the
website and no blockages, then what that person is experiencing is more
likely to be true, but if one is still getting over the symptoms, then it´s
more likely that the images are distorted.
Finally, maybe I am too sensitive, but as different perspectives are being
discussed here, could everyone in the discussion try to practice love and
compassion to each other here too?
Blessings,
Jay
