" Just because the person died doesn't make him any wiser" or "if he was dumb when he was alive, he's still dumb when he's dead (disembodied)", so don't believe everything spirit tells you (you still need your discernment).
*I totally agree... I have repeated this to clients as well.

No kiddin. I lead a protected life huh? So you're convinced there is manifested evil, too?
*I don't know, do you lead a protected life?

I think there is a possibility that evil exists. I've seen stuff that would scare the **** out of anyone...and many posters here have experienced the same. So whether anyone resonates to this experience is fine, bc there are others that I have encountered that were far worse.
There are several schools of thought that when spiritual seekers move through various realms, they will encounter some pretty scary stuff...not all of it is evil. This path is not for the weak of heart, we all know. Shamans encounter all kinds of things; in this regard they are spiritual warriors.
Part of the path, and the thing that keeps us questioning is this...and Jung said it, too. (Not that I'm a Jung devotee...but this rang true...) When an experience arises, we must ask ourselves...is this experience coming from ME...or Coming from outside of me? And sometimes we just won't completely know. Another topic.
tone3...
The good thing for you in the account of your time there is that these things had to keep thier distance from you. That means that you had some pretty good protection watching over you. Protection that the people being temporarily channled during this incident did not have in place.
This makes me feel good... I did think that about those people walking...that something came in and out of them... I had the help of several healers in that area that instinctively reached out to me...they were actually on my staff and must've picked up on something...they wanted me to stay.
These entities can not hijack an individual unless that individual has been consistently living out of the light in negativity themselves.
I think there are cases of innocents and children - being hijacked...as one's frequency rises into the realm of the Astral, we can emit that frequency and attract all kinds of junk from that realm. What I find to be helpful is that if we are pulling in stuff from this dimension, it is a clear sign to raise up one's frequency to quickly move off the radar.
Nevertheless, if one were to believe in the existence of evil...it would be powerful enough to overide simple human efforts...and the case is made to get assistance from Spirit, adepts, masters, etc.
