PAGE TWO OF "CASPER, THE FRIENDLY GHOST? NOT ALL OF THEM" |
I have been in contact with spirits ever since I can remember, so I think that the following are fair statements. Of course, there are always exceptions.
70% of spirits mean no harm. If they frighten you, it was a mistake on their part and they regret it. In fact, if they can be helpful, they will, but I think their ability to help depends on their soul age.
25% of spirits are what I call pranksters. They play with electrical appliances, tv's, phones, and lights. They like to take things and sometimes they give them back in the most unlikely places. They act juvenile. They want attention. They want to be noticed so they show off. They really aren't out to harm you, but some of them are all the happier if they do scare you or make you jump.
I have dealt with these wise crackers more than once and put them in their place. They don't bother much with me anymore as I'm "no fun". I think I bore them.
Then you have the 5%. They are just plain mean. Vindictive and jealous of the living. They can attack without right and use physical force if they choose. They like to sneak attack a person if possible. They like to hang around bars waiting for a person to pass out. Same goes for drug abusers. These spirits like easy prey.
They don't always force out the soul, but reside in the body, appearing as another personality as in the case of schizophrenia. I am not saying that all people with schizophrenia are inhabited, but more than we'll ever know. A broken mind is easier to invade than a strong one.
Some of the 5% may be demons, I do not know. Or, they could have been the embodiment of everything negative when they were a living person.
So, what do you do if a negative spirit is troubling you?
First, ask yourself, did you intentionally do something to bring about the negative spirit? Example: Tampering with or stealing from Indian burial grounds? If so, return what you took, apologize and give them an offering such as flowers or tobacco. Wish them peace and ask for their forgiveness.
If you did nothing that you can think of then you must remember that all living people have their own amount of spiritual power inside to fight with. If you have a negative spirit around you causing problems, don't get scared. GET MAD. Use your force of will to drive them out and away from you and your home.
Prayer is a powerful force. You may think its wishful thinking, but when your back is against the wall, PRAY. Ask your Guides to help you. If you still need help, try to find a Spiritualist Church in your area. They usually have someone who has dealt with this and may be able to help you.
Most churches aren't much help. With the Catholic Church, if you can get them to admit that they still do exorcisms, you will go through an act of congress to get it. Your best bet would be a Jesuit Priest.
If you live in an area where there is an Indian reservation, you might try to approach them with respect and ask to speak to an elder of the tribe. Ask for help, and I'll be honest here, they may or may not treat you with hostility, but it's worth a shot.
Always treat the spirits with respect. I found out the hard way that they don't like being mocked, and doing so can be an unpleasant experience. But, that's for another story.
May you always be surrounded by good spirits to guide you and protect you.
