As we discussed in a previous article, we believe spiritual possession exacerbates, and can even be the root of, some, but not all, problems and traumas in life. However, from a spiritual standpoint, there are no victims, so we feel dark energy and lost souls cannot exclusively be blamed for someone’s troubles without considering why the person was affected in the first place.

It’s often the karma of the host to experience the challenges of possession, yet it’s also their responsibility to heal themselves by removing the energy and strengthening themselves in order to avoid such circumstances in the future.

Our belief is that everyone has the free will to remove most negative energy and perhaps all lost souls from themselves, and we recommend specific techniques such as our Spiritual Detox mediation audio and the spiritual cleansing script in our Direct Your Destiny ™ e-package.

Lost souls are far more common than people realize. Why are we convinced of this? Due to our meditation practices, empathic nature and since we avoid things that cloud perception, we often naturally perceive what most people miss. In fact, sometimes we wish we were a little less innately other-dimensional because it can be unsettling and cause perception overload at times, especially when lost souls gravitate towards us because they sense we might be able to help them. Sometimes we wonder if someone posted “lost souls welcome” signs at our homes and offices.

One recent example involving lost souls happened when Stephen moved into a new home. Even though he used sage and white Light to clear it the day he moved in, the place still didn’t feel right. That night he was about to fall asleep when he felt and perceived the shadow of a man standing next to his bed. Since he was exhausted and knew it was only a ghost, he decided to create a Light of protection in his bedroom for the night so he could sleep and wait until the next day to assist the soul. The following day, while reading aloud his Spiritual Protection script, he perceived two guides dressed as policemen (for Stephen’s benefit, so he’d realize they were helpers) escort a drunken lost soul to the Light. Apparently, the lost soul’s body had died in a DUI accident and at some point the entity had followed the previous owners of Stephen’s place home.

You have the free will to always protect yourself, but we also believe that some dark energy (or at least that which might be classified as such), under certain circumstances, has a divine purpose. Astrologically, Mars and Saturn, for example, can represent fated destruction, strife, and failure (among other things), which is a necessary part of life, like death.

It’s entirely reasonable to classify various blocks that hindered your love life years ago, for instance, as important parts of your path. Why do we believe this, you ask? Because patterns in comprehensive charts indicate key life events, such as you finally overcoming love life blocks at a certain time.

Overcoming it at an earlier time wasn’t an option, as dictated by your personal fate.

Remember, a certain amount (for some, a lot more than others, as reflected in the comprehensive numerology and astrology charts) of adversity and failure is a natural and necessary part of your earthly existence and serve important spiritual purposes, contrary to many of the inspirational messages in today’s self-help marketplace.

What’s that you say? We’re preaching doom and gloom fatalism? We understand why it may be viewed that way if you haven’t witnessed what we have through our ongoing empirical research involving our client base and other work, from which we objectively derive our theories.

It can be very challenging at times to convey our findings without sounding “negative,” differing greatly from views of other, more famous “experts,” or sounding too “out there” to the uninitiated. But the reality is that “bad” things, like spirit possession and attachment,  happen in life for good reasons, and we do our best to relay this, along with the reasons why, so you can better prepare, react in the most  positive way possible and enjoy a more satisfying life.

Are you or someone you know being influenced by lost souls or dark energy?

There’s a world-wide epidemic today that most people don’t know much about. It’s a very common occurrence, yet it’s misunderstood and usually overlooked.

It’s called spirit possession. “The Exorcist” movie was an exaggeration of the phenomenon, and a depossession by a priest is only one way to deal with it. It’s also known as spirit attachment and demonic possession. It happens when lost (disembodied) souls and, or dark energy interfere with or even take control of someone.

It often occurs after the abuse of drugs or alcohol (because these substances weaken your energy field), it can occur during abuse, and some people who are highly sensitive (e.g., Britney Spears, in our opinion), are more susceptible to it than others. Even a poor diet or high levels of stress can cause sensitive people to be more of a target. Those with addictions are almost always affected by it.

Taking responsibility yourself and your situation can be the beginning of healing and protecting yourself, but it can be more difficult for some to do this due to already existing, potent interference from dark energy. Ironically, even those who want to help themselves can be persuaded, frequently beyond conscious awareness, by dark energy or lost souls to avoid seeking help. The will to improve, along with effective methods, must be present to fully heal.

Why do lost souls or dark energy feed off of a host, you might ask? They remain earthbound and attach themselves, energetically, to those from which they can get the fix of alcohol, drugs, nicotine, food, sex, power, revenge, or whatever else they were addicted to before their physical bodies died.

As for dark energy, demons and other negative influences that interfere, their motives can be as simple as an allegiance with an evil force.

In our experience, however, and contrary to scary Hollywood movies, most demons are more like bratty, misbehaving children who are more easily controlled than you may think.

By the way, long ago we didn’t believe in “evil” or “dark” energy. But since doing a lot of empirical research on the subject and subsequently helping people with Spiritual Detox, we are now convinced that it does exist. There always has been and always will be polar opposites, as a natural part of your earthy existence: without darkness there cannot be light, without cold there cannot be heat, without fear there cannot be faith.

For more stubborn entities and dark energies, we offer a more extensive method of asking for spiritual help through our script (available in the Direct Your Destiny e-package), Spiritual Detox audio, or private sessions.

The following list includes signs of being influenced by dark energy or lost souls.

1)  Do you or someone you know have negative emotional or physical reactions to the idea of Spiritual Detox TM (such as “part of you” wanting to do it and “part of you” not wanting to do it)?

2)  Do you or someone you know have, physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual feelings of being blocked?

3)  Do you or someone you know abuse alcohol or drugs? (The use of either allows lost souls or dark energy to influence you far more easily.)

4)  Did you or someone you know have a sudden onset of alcohol or drug abuse, or a sudden onset of a desire to smoke cigarettes, overeat, or engage in some other addictive, unhealthy behavior?

5)  Do you or someone you know have distinct personality changes while under the influence?

6)  Do you or someone you know sense an unexplainable presence in your/their home or office (sometimes referred to as a “ghost”)? It’s common to sense the presence when falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night.

7)  Did you or someone you know have sudden and unexplainable strife and conflict with a partner, family member, or friend?

8)  Do you or someone you know have an addiction to sex, a sudden or unexplainable onset of sadness, depression, reckless behavior, poor memory and concentration, change in personality, feelings of being followed or feeling drained, schizophrenia, physical problems, recurring dreams or nightmares, anger, guilt or anxiety, or hear inner voices (especially with negative messages)?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s likely you or someone you know is being influenced by “lost souls” and, or dark energy. But do not be afraid.

The subjects of entity attachment and spirit possession may seem frightening, but there’s really nothing to fear. It is simply a matter of energy that needs to be firmly directed to the proper place and knowing how to protect yourself.

One way to protect yourself is to avoid drugs and excess alcohol, visualize a white light of protection around you often, and ask for help from God, your guides, or angels of the Light. Simply state your request for help out loud.
