Shadow Demons

[bluebat]

Greetings i am a new member here and have never used a forum like this, so excuse me if i make any mistakes.

I wanted to know if anyone has encountered shadowlike creatures? In the past i had an experience where i was made to feel like i was being physically harmed with the use of weapons and by rape. The experience lasted for quite some time and ended with a near death experience.

I have come to no conclusions on what these things are and why they wish harm. Any comments or knowledge on the topic would be greatly appreciated. The experience has given me a new perspective on life/death and other realms of existence. It almost makes me affraid. I can only hope that good ones also exist.

Can you give more detail on the times and surrounding events? Demons and shadows are very different creatures indeed, and I have never been harmed in my encounters with either (though I must admit that I have never had an encounter with a "pure" member of either "species"). I have been attacked by beings, but never recieved anything more serious than a bruise and a slight headache. I'm not certain how to classify exactly what they were...

the experience was drug induced, in a state where i was magickally defenseless basically i guess. I have run it over and over in my mind, and it just isn't an experience my mind could have made up. It was very real, and caused a spiritual re-awakening in my life. I came to the realization that my spiritual practices and skills were weak, that time should not be wasted in the here and now, that we must be preparing ourselves for something greater beyond this reality.

psychic protection is also to protect you from harm done by real beings, i e friends, family, lovers and yourself even...maybe this shadow rape was your subconscious enacting what COULD have happened while in this state...
i have had similar experiences on opium f.x. and, after i realized i couldn't move a limb, i was so utterly vulnerable and my trip was fuelled by adrenaline...the chemical balance in one's system determines how one's visions turn out, at least in my experience, and i am enjoying getting to know the various chemical 'rushes' that naturally occur in my body, and in sometimes in combination with, preferably herbal, guides...and remember, 'they' are only messengers when you 'get' their message...

respect,

They appear to be frightening and impossible, but if you question and confront them they will transform you.

The Gospel of Thomas, the Gnostic scripture of Jesus' teachings reads,

"If you bring forth what is within you,
what you bring forth will save you.
If you do not bring forth what is within you,
what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
