One of the areas I feel most misunderstood by friends is the topic of entities.
Specifically, entities they feel they have to ‘protect themselves’ from.
I know a lot of people who invest a lot of time, attention, and money into practices, services, and products meant to clear, remove, or protect against entities. The result is a pantheon of techniques performed with quiet anxiety, like a friend who hand sanitizes every time they leave home. In the extreme, I’ve seen this perspective break people’s minds.
In it’s mundane expression, this perspective leads to interesting yet innocent behaviors, in it’s extreme, it can precipitate psychosis. I’ve seen it.
So I get passionate when the topic arises. I’m eager to share my perspective, because it’s different than almost everyone I know; and it works***.*** I’ve tested it. Hundreds of times and in extreme conditions; and it has a 100% success rate so far.
However, whenever I try to explain my POV on entities, I find myself misunderstood. Let’s see how we do today.
My view is:
If your operating system is working for you, I bless it.
However, if you’re open to an alternative, I have one:
I’ve been exploring psychedelics for almost 20 years. I’ve come back from psychosis, have navigated experiences best described as ‘hell,’ and have helped multiple people in an acute psychotic state come ‘back to reality.’
100% of my negative, dark, or hostile encounters have been alchemized by a perspective I playfully offer as The Mother-Father God Lover point of view (MFGL).
The MFGL is a combination of mahayana buddhism + jungian parts work. It means, assume anything that you experience, esp that you’re afraid of, has been sent to you by (insert your favorite word for God) for you to bless.
I’ll explain this view later in the article. For now, the point is, this view has alchemized 100% of my hard/dark/negative experience.
******I don’t fear my mind. I don’t fear ‘entities.’ Through tremendous experience, I’ve built a profound trust in the psyche. And I can tell you; if you learn to view the contents of your psyche like a Mother-Father God Lover, you’ll find this too.
You aren’t cursed; but you might have a fragmented attentional system that ruminates most of the day. A shaman didn’t put a hex on you; but you might not have yet cultivated the courage to claim your true desires and communicate your feelings. It isn’t an archon or a demon; you might just be ready to confront your shame and grief.
What I’m saying: There is nothing that arises in your psyche that you can’t alchemize. There is nothing to fear (when it comes to psychic phenomena). You have as much agency as you’re capable of noticing and claiming.
