Dark Force and Entity Troubles -
The Real Way to Clear Them

Introduction

This account started off as part of my page Night Hells (Night Terrors) and Hearing Voices, but as that section expanded it seemed more appropriate to present it separately so that it could be more easily linked to and found in Web searches - especially as it is not specific to people with night hell or hearing voices issues, and indeed most of it is applicable to spirit attachments, some of which appear most likely to be genuine entities, as well as what people take to be 'astral entities' (also known as 'astral beings', and actually including what many would regard as demons and related entities), which are all actually not real entities at all.

For more about 'astral entities' please see my articles The True Nature of 'The Dark Force' and its Interference and Attacks and The Dark Force ('Astral Entities') - My Own Tough Experiences. As I explain in the former article, what are widely known as astral entities, and indeed pretty well all non-physical entities or beings that one perceives or interacts with, are not true entities or beings at all, but are illusory manifestations that the dark force parasitically causes the affected person's mind to create. So, one greatly helpful thing for us to do right now is to stop talking of astral entities, astral beings etc, and instead to talk instead of dark force interferences or dark force sourced manifestations / illusions.

One important immediate consequence of this understanding is that we can now see why you cannot actually ever 'bodily' remove 'astral entities' - for, being illusory, they are actually not there in the first place to be removed! All you can do, therefore, is to progressively weaken (towards non-existence) the dark force interferences that you are getting, which are creating those illusions - and that is truly possible, but it does take time!

It is important also to understand that ALL psychic perceptions, as normally understood - including clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, astral projections, 'seeing' non-physical beings of any kind, receiving communications in any non-physical form including supposed telepathy, and also experiencing other people's pain or other strong feelings as their own - are manifestations of seriously problematical dark force interferences. This is just as true for people who believe that such perceptions of theirs are positive and are, for example, a 'gift'. For their own well-being, ALL people with such 'perceptions', which are actually bogus perceptions because they all are given to the person by the dark force with the aim to mislead, need to get taking all the relevant measures that I outline on this page.

Most of what appears below is based on my own experience with the dark force (which I had been interpreting as 'astral beings' or 'astral entities') plus my observations of its affecting others, and some information from other affected people. If you have information on genuinely removing or managing 'entities' and dark force interferences that is not already covered here, please feel free to let me know about it, and if I consider it appropriate I will add it to this page.

I expect to add to the information below once in a while, so if you are interested it is well worth periodically revisiting this page.

Some prerequisites for fully addressing your 'entities' / dark force interference problem

The following is not an exhaustive list; I may add some further items to this list.

• You need to be clear that you really do want to be free from 'entities' / dark force interferences. Many people believe that they want to be free from their 'entities' and dark force interferences (and on the surface may be desperate to get rid of them), but actually are unwilling to embrace such radical positive change in their lives. Such people are unlikely to get much clearance of their problems.

  However, although this is generally true, if you are using a self actualization methodology like what I present in Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way, it is much less critical about having a specific intent to be free from 'entities' or dark force interferences (assuming that you are at least being serious about your ongoing use of the methods for overall life improvement), and indeed such methodology would progressively clear any 'entities' and dark force interferences whether or not you acknowledged even their existence. However, a specific, deeply felt intent to be free of them would greatly assist and thus speed up the process.

• Discontinue use of / keep consistently clear of all mind-affecting drugs, including alcohol and tobacco products (yes, NO SMOKING!) and the various so-called recreational drugs, including cannabis and psychedelic drugs. That is extremely important, for they all muck up your non-physical aspects as well as your body, and make you much more vulnerable to the dark force and much more inclined to pick up or retain entity attachments such as soul fragments - hence the dark force seeking to get people into use of these drugs and indeed other substance misuse such as glue sniffing. Although probably not essential, it would be a good move even to get fully clear of caffeine (including tea, coffee and Coke - and related drinks) - and all cocoa / chocolate products and any regular or significant eating of confectionery, for every emotional dependency or attachment of yours to some extent supports the hold of the dark force on you, and none of those substances does other than some degree of harm to you.

  This may sound at first like an unacceptable way to live, but the point is that the dark force gets people craving for and 'enjoying' things that harm them. When you get working consistently for your self actualization (which is the only way to get clear of the interferences), you come increasingly to get most enjoyment from doing things that are beneficial for you, and progressively cease to enjoy doing what is harmful or 'weakening' for you.
  

  So, instead of compulsively banging your head on a wall because you get some sort of perverse 'enjoyment' from it, you get the greater enjoyment of, for example, going out for a healthy invigorating hike on a strenuous coast path or a mountain... - And there are lots of very pleasant blends of herbal 'tea' that contain no caffeine, and can be really enjoyed once you have lost your craving for caffeine-bearing drinks and beverages, so we are talking about actually living a freer and more abundant life once we are no longer being driven any more by our old addictions and emotional attachments.

• Discontinue use of, or simply do not use, personal stereos, and do not have loud music going on at all in your living environment for extended periods, because that is all very ungrounding to your awareness, progressively pushing a great big wedge between you and your genuine surroundings. Learn to listen to and enjoy the natural sounds in your surroundings, and especially bird sounds and also weather sounds. They all have their own beauty and you are harming yourself if you constantly cover that up by assailing yourself with music - even though really listening to a modest amount of some types of music (not with head/earphones or other means of 'total immersion') can be healthy too, depending on the circumstances and the manner in which it is gone about.

• Keep at least largely clear of television, because that stresses you whether you notice or not, and frequent TV watching progressively attenuates your awareness, so making it more difficult for self actualization methods to work sufficiently for you to get clearing your dark force interferences / attacks. A practical reason for watching it just briefly might be for getting a weather forecast and a quick look at the news, but apart from that you need to be using your mind in active, creative ways - something that TV watching stifles, so progressively damaging your brain if you do a lot of it, and making it impossible for you to have the necessary motivation to get clear of your dark force interferences - just as cannabis does.

• If you have a significantly codependent or abusive relationship, it would be greatly helpful for you to resolve the issue if feasible to be achieved quickly (with emotional clearance methods - see below), or simply get out of the relationship. Holding onto such relationships, with all their emotional attachment and power / control issues, makes it very difficult to get rid of dark force interferences. Actually ALL attached relationships, however 'normal' and socially acceptable (and indeed very much including married relationships), are a problem in this respect, and letting go of them (or rather, letting go of one's attachment to the other person) is an essential part of any genuine comprehensive self actualization process - but any obviously troublesome or abusive / controlling relationship is particularly high priority to get right out of, as soon as possible.

• Discontinue or keep clear of all 'dark' practices or preoccupations, even if it means letting go of and indeed permanently keeping clear of particular friends, partner, etc. As you align more fully with the positivity of your own deepest aspects you would gain new friends anyway, who would be more supportive of your new, more positive direction. You can to very great advantage carefully and vigilantly use energy testing to vet both extant and potential friends / companions.

• Keep as clear as possible of covert dark force influences - such as connections or preoccupations with so-called ascended masters, guides, angels, archangels, gods and goddesses, and even 'Jesus', the Holy Spirit and 'God' / Jehovah / Allah / Shiva - indeed any non-physical beings, entities, spirits or presences of any sort, never mind how 'Divine' they may be claimed or believed to be. Their given identities are, as far as I can tell, always inventions of the dark force, and so even believing in them or associating with them in any way increases the dark force's hold on you. If you want to invoke a fully pure and positive 'energy', e.g. for hands-on healing (of yourself or others), use the method that I give in Healing From Our 'Core Essence'. Basically, let go of any notions of an external non-physical reality and focus deep within yourself instead for the ultimate source of deeper knowledge, clarity of mind, and healing.

  However, if you are into healing, it is important also to read "Am I a Healer?", because the chances are that your whole approach to healing would be unbalanced and seriously unhealthy at the moment, and that page explains various things you need to understand in order for any healing ability of yours not to be used in ways that compound your problems and those of other people rather than genuinely assisting.

• Do not attempt to channel or dowse - however tempting it may seem. That is one of the prime means by which the dark force increases its hold on people. If you do channel or dowse, the information you receive is bound to contain distortions introduced by the dark force, which latter would be the true nature of any apparently 'higher' source, and the moment you accept any such communications, what you are doing is tacitly accepting the dark force's interference, and thus you are pointing yourself away from a proper commitment to be free of it.

• Disregard ALL other 'psychic' and supposedly 'higher' perceptions too, whether they be yours or anyone else's, for all psychic and 'higher' perceptions that are generally recognised are bogus perceptions - impressions given to you by the dark force with an agenda to mislead. True, you would also have genuine 'non-physical' perceptions that are coming from your own deepest aspects, but those are very subtle and, except in an exceptionally self actualized person (well beyond mere enlightenment!), they would always be drowned out or put into confusing contexts by all the much 'louder' and indeed distorted impressions given to you by the dark force - the normal 'psychic perceptions' and 'higher perceptions' (including the supposedly superior 'higher sensory perceptions' - HSP - used by the Barbara Brennan School of Healing and related disciplines).

• Avoid 'readings' from mediums and channels, and keep clear of any channelled or supposedly clairvoyantly obtained information or messages that you may encounter anywhere. Any reliance on channelled information - no matter what its purported source (and, yes, that does include such figures as 'Jesus', 'Archangel Michael' and indeed 'God') - increases the hold of the dark force on you, quite apart from such information almost certainly containing distortions of the truth, which would have been chosen to cause you problems in some way or other. It is important also to keep clear of astrology, numerology and any form of divining (such as with Tarot, I Ching, runes or so-called angel cards), which are all, covertly or openly, used in various ways by the dark force to manipulate people.

• Avoid use of symbols* - including but not limited to Reiki ones and even the most hallowed ones such as the OM, pentagram (either way up!), Ankh, Crucifix, six-pointed star (Star of David) - and so-called sacred geometry (including the much hallowed merkaba - two interlocking pyramids). These are potent in increasing one's dark force connections. Sacred geometry is especially harmful and can be used even by supposed 'lightworkers' to bring great harm to a person - even to the point of covert murder (i.e. by various types of psychic attack).

  * I do mean here ALL symbols - at least all that have been given any religious, spiritual, mystical or metaphysical significance, and no matter whether that significance has been given to the symbol by a tradition or indeed by just you alone. There are no exceptions - even though undoubtedly some symbols are more overtly harmful than others.

• Do not wear or carry any supposedly protective amulets or pendants. NONE of those are genuine protectors against the dark force or 'entities', and indeed they are ALL tools of the dark force, which are weakening and disruptive to your energy system so that you become progressively more vulnerable to the very things you are actually wanting protection from. In any case, any of these that carry, or are fashioned into, symbols or sacred geometry configurations are particularly harmful (see above). A pentagram or Crucifix pendant, for example, is - far from being a genuine protection aid - a token of your captivity to the dark force, never mind how any particular tradition would view or describe it.

  Crystals are all harmful, though some more so than others, and NONE genuinely has in the slightest degree the protective qualities that are widely claimed for certain types, so put away or (much better) discard any that you have. Moldavite, although technically not a crystal, is extremely harmful in being a particularly powerful ungrounding agent, and thus potently opens you to the astral sub-reality and thus the dark force, and has no genuine protective effects, so it too is for discarding and certainly not carrying on your person.

  Furthermore, let go of the whole 'protection' mindset, for it is inherently harmful through its keeping you weak and disempowered. In place of 'being protected' by something, think in terms of cultivating and opening up your own intrinsic invulnerability or immunity to all harmful forces and influences.

• If you have any crystals and supposedly energy-active stones such as moldavite, it is not enough not to actively use them. You need to get them out of your living space as soon as possible, because they continue to progressively weaken you as long as they are in any part of your 'energy field', which typically would extend for more than two metres radius around your body. Crystals left lying on window ledges in my flat were part of the means of my own near-nemesis at the 'hands' of the dark force, so I know what I am talking about here. If you cannot get rid of them at once, gather them up into an opaque box or bag and stow them in a cupboard or other out-of-the-way place as far removed as possible from where you spend most of your time in your living space, but keep a clear intent to get rid of them as soon as possible, and not to pass them on to other people and cause problems for them instead of you!

• Keep a clear and consistent resolve to align only with the positivity and clarity of your own deepest aspect or 'core essence' - being clear that this is fundamental consciousness, which is effectively 'the Ultimate'. Any apparent higher being or 'Spirit' - including 'God' - cannot be other than lesser than 'the Ultimate', which latter is what your own core essence and deepest nature is, and so you need to ignore any such supposed 'external' presences.

• Take up appropriate fast-track methods for clearance of emotional issues and accumulated effects of all manner of environmental stresses (more about such methods further below) and strengthening all your non-physical aspects, and use these methods on yourself regularly in an ongoing manner to progressively weaken and clear all your emotional issues and accumulated effects of environmental stress, and thus progressively 'squeeze out' any attached 'entities' and dark force interferences.

• Keep a very open mind about the true nature of any 'entity' manifestations, and let go of belief in any 'external' reality involving them. Although for healing purposes they may be treated as an external influence, it is best as soon as possible to cultivate the dissolution of the whole 'entities' mindset through:

  • regarding any 'entity' manifestations as being just thought form complexes, 'rogue programming in thought energy' or illusions presented to you by the dark force - and thus not interacting with them at all, any more than you would intentionally do with a computer virus that is seeking to engage you in some sort of dialogue.
  • progressively opening to your own deepest aspect, which, as already noted, is 'the Ultimate'. This can be encouraged by your using a visualization in which you allow it to appear to expand from your core through your whole being and indeed to apparently fill all of 'Existence' (though in reality it already is in every particle and aspect of all of 'Existence').

• Let go of any 'story' that your situation or interference has created for you, including any interpretation of your experiences, never mind how vivid, real-seeming and bizarre. The 'story' and exact details of your experiences are actually NOT important from a genuine healing perspective (at least the healing methodology that I present), and are generally presented by the dark force to confuse a person and keep him / her locked into a sort of 'loop' of recreating the troublesome or 'intriguing' phenomena through believing that they are 'real' (i.e. as presented) rather than as completely 'empty' illusions that are being given to him / her and would dissolve if left alone and thus allowed to do so.

  Important note! The actual material and building blocks of all types of non-physical interferences, whether from the dark force or even psychic attacks from people, are fundamentally the same, and, using my methodology, are all cleared by the same means, without any need to identify particular troublesome phenomena as being one thing or another. The name of the game is not chasing after the (illusory) paper tigers with which the dark force is constantly besetting you, but simply strengthening and un-distorting all those aspects of your whole being that are currently distorted and weak, thus progressively rendering you immune to all those interferences and attacks, whatever their apparent nature or source. That makes life so much simpler!

Means to remove entities and dark force interferences

There is a huge variety of methods that people use to try to address this issue, but actually virtually none of those methods works well, if at all. True, quite often particular obvious problems caused by 'entities' (really almost always dark force interferences) may reduce or cease after a healing or exorcism to remove the supposed 'entities', but because the normal main problem is dark force interferences, it is intrinsic in their nature that they cannot be 'sent off' in that way. So, when 'astral entities' or 'demons' do seem to have been sent off, it is virtually certain that nothing of the kind has really happened and for its own purposes the dark force is deceiving both healer and the recipient of the healing, making them think the 'entities' have been cleared off when actually the dark force has just become more covert in its interferences. I have had all these tricks played on me, so I speak from experience - and I have seen massive signs of continuing but more covert dark force interference in virtually everyone who has claimed to me that they have had their own troublesome 'entities' removed, and that they are now free from 'entities'.

Indeed, I have come to the understanding that although genuine 'spirit attachments'* (which are discarnate human consciousnesses in various types of predicament), partial walk-ins and parasitic 'lost' souls can theoretically be sort-of sent off (although, generally speaking, they require quite a bit of self actualization / emotional clearance work before they can be dislodged)**, dark force interferences are a different matter and cannot be sent off at all in the way that almost all healers and 'lightworkers' believe they can. For 'astral entities' (i.e. dark force interferences), it appears that the name of our game is to use various self actualization methods to build up and strengthen all our non-physical aspects to such an extent that we simply progressively fade those interferences out of our life experience, so that we eventually become invulnerable to the dark force (as far as one can tell; vigilance would always be required) while never knowing for sure whether or not there is still any covert and subtle interference or any as-yet undiscovered vulnerability that might be exploited at some point.

* Please note that, as far as I can tell, what people generally recognise as 'spirit attachments' are not genuine consciousnesses at all but are elementals or, occasionally, 'combo entities'.

**Actually my understanding nowadays is that it is only a rather figurative description of the situation to talk of those 'lost' souls as being attached (and therefore, one assumes, removable). As I understand it now, what appears to be attachment from those human consciousnesses is more in the nature of some sort of forced connection from them - they actually not having any physical location around the affected person. Presumably such connections are made by the dark force.

Please note that, because 'astral entities' are not only not physical but are actually illusory, they cannot be seen by anyone in any truly objective or 'physical' way. A small minority of healers and psychics believe that they can 'see' these manifestations using their supposed 'higher perceptions', but it is only visual illusions that they are being given by the dark force. Thus they are seeing only what the dark force shows them - NOT what is actually there (if anything!). This is thus an area replete with deception and misunderstandings.

I had listed below a variety of means for 'entity' removal, some of which I eventually came to understand to be useless or worse, and some genuinely useful. Now that I have new and much more focused pages on healing from one's deepest aspects, and true self actualization, that is where I now have cause to direct you for the reliable and safe means to clear out both 'entities' and dark force interferences - so the listing below is now cut right down to two items, so simplifying things no end!

As already noted, for these genuine healing / clearance methods, the details of a person's particular tribulations and bizarre experiences are not relevant - which simplifies things enormously. Indeed, the more a person concerns himself with such details and any 'story' involved in his troubles, the more is he obstructing any genuine clearance process. You have been warned!

Thus the two (actually very much interrelated) main prongs of a strategy to clear your 'entities' / dark force interferences are as follows.

• self actualization (including clearance of one's emotional issues, stresses and traumas) is the only basic process that really works for 'astral entities' (i.e. dark force interferences) and is truly safe for clearing other types of entity or interference from oneself. Even then, however, most available supposed self actualization /self realization methods have limits on their usefulness because of dark force sourced distortions that limit those methods' effectiveness for the purpose.

  However, on this site I present methods, almost all of which I have been using myself, which, if used with care and awareness, appear to both clear your emotional issues (which are one of a person's primary vulnerabilities to the dark force) and build up the strength of your non-physical aspects so as to progressively 'squeeze out' any 'entities' and dark force interferences.

  For a starting point to examine your options, I recommend either The Guide to Complete Self Actualization or Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way. Either of those pages will give you links to the other relevant ones.

• Eliminating environmental stresses. We are ALL subject to environmental stresses (ESs), whether we are aware of them or not, and they cause a progressive accumulation of distortions and weaknesses in our non-physical aspects, which in the long term (and in some cases virtually immediately) impinge seriously upon our health. Particular environmental stresses make many people much more vulnerable to the dark force or indeed 'spirit attachments'. Therefore, even if no other self actualization and 'entity' removal measures were taken, elimination of the offending environmental stress(es) usually results in a distinct reduction in the strength of the most noticeable interferences, and in some cases apparent elimination of them altogether (though that would not be actual total elimination at that stage - which would require more comprehensive and long-term work).

  To give an idea of the sorts of things that may have such an effect, let me mention my own situation. When I did the appropriate energy testing in late 2007 (shutting the door after the main horse had bolted, though), I found that a particular type of lampshade that I had for the two room lights in my living room and for the one room light in my bedroom were particular offenders - all the more so as, quite some time before, I had scratched onto their plastic the so-called Am Re symbol which had been channelled to me by the dark force posing as a higher source. This was adding a small dark force connecting element to the environmental stress effects from those lampshades.

  Then, once I had removed those lampshades I did further energy testing, which led me to my kitchen, where I found that I was getting particular environmental stresses that were aggravating my dark force interferences, from three main sources: the fridge-freezer, the central heating boiler, and the microwave oven. The former two were inherently stressful for me by their very presence, whereas the microwave was not significantly stressful for me in itself, but was having a stressful effect because it was in an inharmonious position. Unfortunately there was no practical alternative to its particular placing.

  I was able to virtually neutralize or even eliminate all those stresses as follows. For the fridge-freezer and boiler I simply took my Energy Egg (already energetically connected to the space-clearing device called the Guardian Angel)*, and, while looking at the respective items and holding the Energy Egg with all my fingertips, I did three 'cyclic blows' on the Egg to tune it to the particular stress and thus enable my own non-physical aspects to adapt to the particular energy so that it was no longer troublesomely stressful for me. I also did the same for the microwave, but the beneficial effect was only partial, because, it appears, 'wrong location' stress cannot be all that well eliminated by the Energy Egg and Guardian Angel.
  

  * Since then I have declared my Energy Eggs and Guardian Angel redundant, and would nowadays use one of my 'satellite' mini-Clarity-Spheres for the purpose. The Clarity-Sphere is better, particularly for reducing 'wrong location' stress, though not perfect for that.
  

  Next, I used energy testing to find out how I might eliminate the remains of the 'wrong location' stress from the microwave. I found that putting a particular smallish potted house plant on top of the microwave* virtually eliminated the part of the stress that had been aggravating the dark force attacks issue, but left largely intact some other parts of the stress, which would have been impacting adversely upon me in other ways. Further energy testing and experimentation led to my placing a particular sphere of verdite (on its little wooden stand, for stability) on the microwave instead of the plant, and this apparently virtually eliminated all the stress that I had been receiving from the microwave's positioning, which was not already being eliminated by the combination of Energy Egg and Guardian Angel. Furthermore, I found that at least one major stressful item in my living room (the music peripherals next to my computer - 'wrong location' stress again) was considerably less stressful (though still with some significant elements of stress) once that verdite sphere was on the microwave.
  

  * Actually that would have been no good anyway, because it was too dark there for such a plant to thrive - so I would not have kept a plant there. A plant that is suffering stress and unable to thrive in one's abode is itself an environmental stress factor there.
  

  However, prior to my locating and dealing with those particular environmental stress issues, in 2007 I had established that the collection of crystals strewn on my window ledges, and, first and foremost, my regular use of a collection of sacred geometry 'healing' wands from late 2003 to early 2007 had been a very major factor in opening me to the dark force for the severe troubles that I had had then. So I took the immediate step of discarding all those, and my use of (initially) the Energy Egg and Guardian Angel*, plus other methods, progressively got to work healing all the damage done to my non-physical aspects by the wands and crystals.
  

  * Again, nowadays it would be the Clarity-Sphere that would be carrying out that role.
  

  I also had other significant environmental stresses in my flat, such as squared and angular furnishings. Sharp edges and corners pointing more or less towards a person have a weakening and disruptive effect (sometimes called sha-chi) upon his non-physical aspects, and my work desks, bookcases and particularly wall-mounted shelves were all having this effect. The need here was to spend a lot more money to replace such items with ones that were handmade out of proper wood, with all edges and corners rounded off - but because of the likely cost of all that, I held back on making that particular change until 2011, by which time I was already well out of my really significant dark force shenanigans.

Some of the purported entity removal options to AVOID

In fact I have no pointers to any such methods genuinely removing entities anyway - not least, because the supposed entities that people are seeking to get rid of are not real entities in the first place and cannot be removed by such means, and the genuine ones generally do not come to people's attention in ways that would identify them as such and thus motivate anyone to get rid of them!

• Shamanic healings (the dark force ALWAYS involved)
•  Exorcisms (the dark force ALWAYS involved)
•  Taking on a belief (e.g. in Jesus or God or in 'escape' or 'fudge' scenarios such as 'ascension' or "we each create our own reality") (the dark force ALWAYS involved)
• Baptisms and other initiations (the dark force ALWAYS involved)
• Joining or involvement with any sort of religion or spiritual / esoteric / mystical organization (the dark force ALWAYS involved).
•  Invoking supposed higher beings such as Archangel Michael or Jesus (the dark force ALWAYS involved)
• Specialist healers and 'lightworkers' (the dark force ALWAYS involved, with one qualification) - Various such healers genuinely believe that they are clear of 'astral' or dark force interference and influence, but in my experience so far they are ALL mistaken about that. A healer who is truly clear of dark force involvement would not be offering to directly remove entities from people, and would point you to your own self actualization process as the real solution.
• Methods involving hypnosis (the dark force ALWAYS involved) - All hypnosis is seriously disempowering, and is also seriously ungrounding to the person's awareness and thus it increases his vulnerability to the dark force and tends to impair his motivation for true self actualization, and always creates highly problematical hidden illusory realities in the person's mind. Danger! There is very often a dark force sourced control agenda operating in people who choose to use hypnosis as one of their methods, and many of them actually tend to pass on new troublesome 'entities' or related serious problems to their clients. Indeed, it looks as though some could at least facilitate your unawarely becoming a part of the cacoprotean network, and thus actually part of the dark force.
  
• Use of mantras, symbols or sacred geometry (the dark force ALWAYS involved, and the latter in particular is extremely harmful)
• Use of crystals or healing devices other than those devices that I unequivocally recommend (ineffective and also harmful to the person's non-physical aspects, so making the person MORE vulnerable to the dark force)
• Formal meditation sessions (the dark force ALWAYS involved when meditation is used supposedly for this purpose) - Also, meditation is ungrounding, which is just what you need like a great big hole in the head if you want to get clear of entities / dark force interferences. Actually, generally speaking, for some people the odd formal meditation sessions can be beneficial, provided that they are not made a regular or prominent feature in the person's everyday life - but for people with overt entity / dark force interferences it is well-nigh essential to keep clear of formal meditation altogether, because of its ungrounding nature. Self-Power Walking (mentioned further below) is a healthy replacement for that.
•  Rituals of any kind (the dark force ALWAYS involved) - though these need to be distinguished from various yogic or energy-active practices for self healing, some of which* are very helpful indeed towards progressive clearing of 'entities' and dark force interferences (while others such as Sahaja Yoga are decidedly harmful despite their usual superficial appearance of benignity).
  

  * For example, practices pointed to in Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way.

Removing 'sexual entities'

It has become apparent to me from search engine queries leading people to this site, that many people experience intrusions and interferences from what they interpret as 'sexual entities'. Actually, as far as I have been able to establish so far, all such experiences really are simply dark force attacks with sexual arousal and erotic feelings, in various cases together with particular illusory manifestations and intruded pseudo-thoughts that then give the impression that visible or otherwise detectable 'entities' are doing that. Sometimes an elemental might be involved too.

Actually, if you stop and think about it, the very concept of a non-physical 'sexual entity', at least as any sort of conscious being, is quite nonsensical, because sex is only of the physical here-and-now and is meaningless outside the physical 'reality'. On the other hand, in all manner of ways the dark force constantly exploits people's capacity to be addicted to sexual feelings and thus controllable by the dark force's attacking them with sexual feelings in particular situations.

For this reason, I am not aware of any need for methods specifically for removing 'sexual entities'. Basically, you need to treat them as just one of the many types of dark force interference / attack and use the methods that I point to on this page.

Removing 'self made demons'

I briefly explain about 'self created entities', which could also be described as 'self made demons', in The True Nature of 'The Dark Force' and its Interference and Attacks. Basically they are something of a myth, though the results of my own inner inquiry are suggestive that if at any time you have genuinely cleared off any real entities you could still be left with their 'energy imprints', which the dark force would maintain and manipulate in ways that can make it seem as though the entities are still present - though I suspect that the most common cause of continuation of 'entity' related effects after supposed clearance of 'entities' would be simply that the supposed entities had never been cleared off in the first place.

Some healers / 'lightworkers' who carry out supposed entity removal sessions are very predisposed to raise the 'self created entities' bogey to 'explain' why particular clients of theirs still have supposed 'entity' troubles after what were supposed to be entity removal sessions. Typically the practitioner thus justifies his chalking up the particular client as one of his successes, even though actually the practitioner had not succeeded in removing anything! I have personal experience of this happening.

Also, elementals that your own system has created under hijack-control from the dark force could get identified as 'self created entities'. You would have to be very weakly grounded for that sort of thing to happen, though.

The self actualization / self realization methods that I present on this site all assist in the steady dissolution of such energy imprints and elementals. As with removal of 'real' entities, and probably even more so, the process would be greatly assisted by daily or at least very frequent use of the set of affirmations that you can find in The Guide to Complete Self Actualization, and particularly by the use of the Grounding Point procedure for assisting the dissolution of thought forms (which are, broadly speaking, the true nature of the energy imprints, and indeed of any elementals).

...And then, Soul Retrieval?

It is widely believed among healers in many traditions that a soul retrieval healing is generally necessary after removing entities - especially supposed earthbound spirit attachments. That would also give the opportunity for the retrieval of soul fragments that were already able to be retrieved before the entity removal rendered the retrieval of further fragments possible.

Please visit above two glossary links, where I explain the apparent true nature of supposed earthbound spirits and of soul fragments. As you will see there, I now suspect that there is no such thing as an 'earthbound spirit', i.e. in the sense of an actual 'stuck' human consciousness, and anything being called that is most likely either a soul fragment or an elemental.

The rationale of this is that, so it is widely believed, soul retrieval is necessary because a spirit attachment (or certain other types of entity) occupies a space in your energy system where a part of your non-physical aspect has been displaced and separated off. When the spirit attachment is released and supposedly sent away to its proper place, a void is left in your non-physical aspect, which would readily attract in another problematical entity. It is therefore seen as important that any separated-off part of yourself is drawn back in and re-integrated into your system. That would not only prevent another entity from attaching to you but would also bring about an increase in your well-being. After a successful soul retrieval you would most likely feel much happier and more 'present' and more centred and grounded than before.

Soul retrieval, then, is clearly a Good Thing. So, you need to have, or carry out on yourself, soul retrieval healings as part of your entity clearance process, right?

Well, actually no - unless, maybe, you have had one of the 'best-to-avoid' types of entity removal healing that I have listed further above, and by some fluke the method actually has removed a real entity! The only reason for needing assistance in soul retrieval (which is actually a natural process) could be that the dark force would obstruct the process if you were not well grounded at the time of the entity removal (or even a major emotional clearance), so that if the soul retrieval is going to occur at all at that time it has to be forced. In any case I am doubtful at to how often such soul retrieval healings really achieve what they are claimed to do.

If you use methods for self actualization and entity clearance that are properly grounding, as I have pointed to above, the dark force cannot interfere in that particular process, at least to any great extent, and so the latter occurs spontaneously, speedily and smoothly.

The one bit of assistance for the process that you can usefully give is simply your having a clear intent that it would occur for you. This is facilitated by the relevant entry in the set of affirmations, which you can find in The Guide to Complete Self Actualization. That's it!

Management options - Management for MASTERY, not just Coping!

Please note that I emphasize 'management' and 'mastery' and not at all the popular expression 'coping strategies'. In the mental health services we often hear about 'coping strategies' for 'hearing voices' or other mental health issues, but that is not about true healing and is really just a policy of 'managed defeat'. When I talk of 'management' of the entities and dark force interferences I mean an active and positive healing and empowerment approach aimed to minimize their negative impact and eventually get rid of the pestilences altogether, and which also makes you immensely stronger, more aware and clear-minded, and more able to enjoy life without having to wait for your nuisances to actually have gone (yet).

For example, mental healthcare workers involved with their 'patient' Tim Bawlscroper may consider that they have achieved real healing and something of a cure for him because they have got him more or less no longer seeing demons and angels, by means of a combination of what they have found to be the 'best' medication for him and getting him to go out to visit a friend most evenings to watch television, and to take up stamp collecting, instead of moping on his own at home. But in real terms what they have done for him is in important respects worse than useless, because they have just sought to get him more comfortable within his continuing very serious predicament, so that any motivation of his for true self actualization (and getting really clear of his serious dark force interference plus 'entities' issue) is still further occluded. That is what 'coping strategies' are largely about, and true healing and self actualization is one thing they are never about.

Management of the interferences and 'entities'
(i.e. MASTERY of your situation!)

• Non-interaction. Non-interaction with any 'voices' or apparent 'entities'* is crucial. For the person to interact with them is to give the dark force power over him. Some people find that if the apparent entities are repeatedly told to go away they appear to do so, but, to my understanding, that is not at all what really happens when people get the impression that it has happened. All that really happens in such cases is that the dark force has simply changed tactics to keep a low profile and make the person think that its 'entity' manifestations have gone, when in fact the dark force is still there (because it actually cannot go away because it has no specific physical location to start with) and covertly still interfering to control the person.

  * As already intimated, really these are just illusions created in one's mindspace under hijack-control by the dark force. Genuine entities - lost souls - don't communicate in any obvious way, except that the dark force could conceivably give an illusion of one or more of them communicating. However, generally the dark force seeks to conceal the presence of any genuine entities, so you can take it as a pretty good rule of thumb that "If it's communicating with me, or if I can apparently see or otherwise 'sense' it, it is not a genuine entity (i.e. awarely conscious non-physical being)".

  Indeed, keeping on telling the supposed entities to go away is stressful if in fact those manifestations do not go away or they keep returning, and this stress then provides the dark force with emotional energy 'hooks' that it can grab in order to launch attacks. Also, the mere fact of regarding any 'entities' as actual beings to whom any communication would be meaningful is potently maintaining the situation, for they are, by their very nature as illusory manifestations, produced by rogue thought forms (like computer malware but made up of thought energy), and would eventually cease to manifest as entities at all if consistently seen in that light and disregarded and not interacted with over a longish period. Total ignoring is therefore the strategy to adopt, to whatever extent one can manage to achieve this*.

  * It is important here to clarify that I do NOT mean going into denial. It is actually best to keep as aware as possible of the dark force interferences, but not actually dwelling upon them or getting emotionally involved or wound up about them, and if possible not to allow yourself to 'see' or interact with them. That way you can maintain and increase your awareness of any ways the dark force is trying to control or otherwise interfere with you, and then to disregard or sidestep those attempts. (I do not talk about resisting them, because 'resistance' implies a certain degree of engagement with the manifestations, which is why a light-hearted but grounded side-stepping and simply doing something different and more worthwhile is the real effective approach.)

• Do not attempt to dowse nor channel nor listen for inner guidance (AT ALL!).* As long as you do, you are allowing the dark force to manipulate you, and you are actually keeping it in some degree in control of you. The point here is that, as explained in Better Without Channelling, it is the dark force that relays to us any potentially useful information from our deepest aspects, and it is also the dark force that presents itself (with such information from your deepest aspects) as supposedly higher beings such as guides, ascended masters, angels and archangels. ANY channelling or seeking inner 'guidance' (apart from carefully and vigilantly executed energy testing) therefore puts you into or keeps you in the power of the dark force.

  * Actually, as one might say, "There is guidance and guidance"! The rare people who are getting really clear of their interferences and any soul programming would be getting a genuine and beneficial sort of 'inner guidance' - various indications arising from their own deepest aspects. These, however, have a very subtle character and generally have an informative rather than directive quality, and so even for people who can 'hear' them, they tend to get drowned out for much of the time by the dark force's 'louder' distorted and more directive versions of what you supposedly need to know.

  For the vast majority of affected people, the only inner guidance that is reasonably safe to heed at all is their own deepest intuition and good sense, which can be supported by means of energy testing. I learnt the hard way that trying to get channelled information or 'guidance' from any seemingly external source just helps perpetuate the situation with the dark force and 'entities'.

  If, like me, you have already been dowsing and channelling, there is no cause for despair; indeed you can take encouragement from the fact that I came out of my own very major dark force shenanigans despite the major problems I had opened up for myself by all my channelling. What is necessary is simply to put a determined stop upon all opening up to receive non-physical communications. If you slip up and let something through, just distance yourself from it and resume your embargo. I found that, to make the transition to not channelling at all, for a little while a mental 'image' of a sort of 'energy cotton wool' filling all my inner communication channels (whether from supposedly high or low sources) considerably helped. However, if you are using self actualization methods as effective as the methodologies given in Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way, your awareness would rapidly be getting more grounded and it would soon come naturally to ignore all apparently external entities or 'sources'.

  However, as already noted (yes, I am unashamedly repeating myself here!), there is a way that you can still, with great care and vigilance, get certain types of 'hidden' but important information from your deepest aspects, which can take you forward powerfully in your self actualization process, and that is energy testing - though there are associated pitfalls and you therefore need to use it with care, rigour and vigilance.

• If you feel you must 'say' anything at all to what appear to be 'entities' (there is actually no true need to do so), 'speak' as far as possible only in the third person, i.e. so that you are communicating not to them but to yourself about them. That is because to 'speak' directly to the 'entities' gives the dark force more power over you than if you communicate only to yourself and simply observe the responses of the illusory 'entities'.

  However, as I must have made abundantly clear by now, the real need is to cease even regarding any supposed entities as actual beings at all, with which one could meaningfully interact. As already noted, what are generally regarded as 'astral entities' are almost certainly not true consciously aware beings at all and indeed are most likely not even discrete entities - even though they strenuously try to convince everyone that they are real beings. Would you bother to have a personal dialogue with some virus or other malware program on your computer that pretends that it is a real person and is flashing up messages to try to get you engaging with it (maybe to steal your bank account and credit card details)? Surely, best to see it as it really is and not to interact with it at all as though it were some sort of awarely conscious being, for then you would be in a much better position to clear it out.

  An important point here too is that the more you keep any communications directed to yourself rather than anything apparently external, the more you are beginning to build up a direct communication pathway with your own deepest aspects, which in time would be weakening the interferences and making it increasingly possible to get direct communications from within (whether or not they be verbal ones). However, there is no point in actually asking questions of your deepest aspects at this stage of the proceedings, for the dark force would at once intrude and present its own versions of any such answers to you, and you would still be in the realm of channelling, and thus still in considerable trouble.

• 'Guidance' and instructions are to be disregarded without question at all times! If the 'entities' or indeed any non-physical source give instructions or recommendations, or instructions just arise in one's mind, then it is important for the affected person to understand that such instructions - even quite benign-seeming ones that appear to be good guidance - are for ignoring or disobeying despite any threats or coercive attacks that may be made. The dark force thrives on every hint of power that it has over a person, even when seemingly only symbolic, and every non-compliance with its 'wishes' or instructions adds to its disempowerment. Such non-compliance needs to be done with a positive, light-hearted, good humoured or even joyful outlook, for the dark force is generally empowered and you are disempowered by your being attached to seriousness and indeed grimness. Another thing that empowers the dark force and disempowers you is any defensiveness of yours, for that is living in fear, and that is just one of the many highly adverse things that the dark force seeks to have you doing. Learn to disregard such interferences with a twinkle in the eye, a smile or indeed a laugh.

• Train yourself to regard the 'entities' as just illusions created by bits of rogue thought form programming and not real conscious beings at all. We have no means of absolutely, categorically, knowing what is the true nature of 'astral entities' or similar manifestation, and it is important that we do not hold an actual belief that they are one thing or another, but I myself have consistently found it extremely beneficial to live with a working assumption (rather than a 'this is Truth' type of belief) that 'astral entities' of any kind (and indeed all apparently awarely conscious non-physical beings or presences) are nothing more than illusions created by rogue programming, as noted further above. I explain about this in The True Nature of 'The Dark Force' and its Interference and Attacks.

  My own experience in using this approach was that rapidly the 'entity' manifestations became easier to ignore and not to engage with, and indeed their intrusions became noticeably weaker and less consequential, and I felt altogether less threatened and constrained by them and their activities. I think the point here is that the whole programming of the dark force relies for its effectiveness upon its being seen as anything other than what it really is (or, more specifically, being seen as actually the illusory manifestations that it presents to us), so when its cover is properly 'blown', it simply cannot function properly, and theoretically could actually start dissolving.

  Although on the face of it this applies only to 'astral entities' (i.e. dark force interferences) and not the various extremely troublesome types of 'spirit attachment' (including partial walk-ins), a helpful working assumption to keep in mind in the latter cases is that the 'lost' human consciousness involved is in itself benign but is being driven to its negative and harmful behaviour by - yes, you have guessed! - the dark force again. In other words, it is empowering for the affected person to cultivate a perception that the harmful forces affecting them are NOT coming from any actual malevolent awarely conscious beings (which I suspect actually do not exist), but are from completely unaware rogue programming that you can progressively dissolve or at least disempower.

• Similarly, consistently regard any 'voices' NOT as 'voices' but just as 'flatus' (i.e. fart gas) - or other light-heartedly uncomplimentary term - from the abovementioned rogue programming. As long as you continue to think of them as 'voices', you are still tacitly accepting that you have actual entities of some sort trying to speak to you, and so you give those illusions some degree of power over you - at least to intrude upon you. By using all means at your disposal to stop regarding them as real voices at all but as just 'flatus' from rogue programming like a computer virus, to be totally sidelined and ignored regardless of what they seem to be saying, you would be very considerably reducing the voices' ability to grab your attention. That would in turn progressively weaken the whole mechanism of such intrusive dark force interferences, so that over time there would be less and less intrusions in the first place for you to have to ignore.

• If you have what you or others think is a spirit attachment that is communicating with you and interfering with you in brazen and apparently deliberate ways, that is almost certainly NOT a true spirit attachment, nor a real awarely conscious entity at all, but an elemental that is being manipulated by the dark force via seriously ungrounded aspects of your non-physical aspects. That, therefore, needs to be regarded and treated in much the same way as 'ordinary' 'astral entities' - that is, regarded as just rogue programming. Although it is not illusory in the way that 'astral entities' are, no harm and very likely some benefit would come from your actually regarding it as illusory, provided that you do not use that to go into denial of the problem. The point is, the less you regard it or interact with it in any way that implies that it is a conscious being, the more you are weakening it and of course strengthening yourself against it.
  

  The same principle applies too for a combo entity, though in that case the difficulties would be greater because a limited degree of actual conscious awareness (a soul fragment) is helping to fuel the manifestation's nastiness.

• Use the Grounding Point procedure to dissolve particular thought forms, including elementals. This follows from the last two items. I have established that the dark force cultivates thought forms in many people's minds to create particular illusory realities there, which cause the people to automatically interpret the dark force interferences as being from real conscious beings, because doing so gives those thought forms a lot of power then to behave as though they are actual beings, and it makes them seem much more intrusive and intimidating. If you dissolve those thought forms and illusory realities, it would be much easier to perceive the dark force interferences as being none other than just transient illusions created by bits of rogue programming in the astral sub-reality of illusion and delusion - so greatly disempowering the supposed entities.

  I give here two particular items that are really top priority to 'zap' by means of the Grounding Point procedure:

  • All apparent or illusory realities in which I have 'masters' or entities of any type who have ultimate control or command over me, and in which I cannot escape that control / interference no matter what I do.

  • All apparent or illusory realities in which there is any sort of 'higher' or 'ultimate' presence or power that is in any way external to me.

    N.B. As with all Grounding Point 'zappings', you can use such wordings initially to clarify your intent, but for best results you need then to let go of the specific words and carry out the procedure with a sort of 'visualization by intent' rather than very much using the words.

• Let go of all addictions and mind affecting substances. Any attached entities, and especially dark force interferences and many 'spirit attachments' (probably usually soul fragments or/and elementals), encourage people's addictive tendencies and behaviours, including sexual ones, in order to get the people more ungrounded and have less command of themselves and thus being more in the dark force's power. Therefore through letting go of such addictions you help reduce the dark force's control and power over you, and also reduce the strength of attachment of any genuine entities. Smoking (of anything) and ALL use of alcohol (even only occasional modest drinks) is definitely included here. Although the following isn't top priority, even cutting out caffeine (tea, coffee, Coke and other caffeine- or stimulant-containing beverages) would help, as even that very socially accepted and supposedly benign addiction (okay, call it a habit if you like!) helps a bit to empower the dark force and disempower you against it.

  Please refer to Letting Go of Addictions and Compulsive Behaviours, where I write more on this issue and point in the appropriate directions for means to do that letting go.

• The Clarity-Sphere. An extremely versatile self healing / self actualization aid that I myself have developed. It is suitable for those people who are happy to experiment themselves and work to get the best out of these devices; they are NOT commercial products and are NOT meant for people who just want to be helped by the devices without their having to do anything significant to achieve their beneficial effects.

  The Clarity-Sphere is, at least potentially, a very powerful tool for facilitation of one's own self healing / self actualization, including environmental stress reduction and progressive clearance of dark force and 'entity' interferences and attacks and their various ramifications. As far as I can tell, the Clarity-Sphere, when properly used, has all of the functionality of the Energy Egg (when that is properly used, which it usually is not) (see below), but includes that in a balanced way within a much broader and more deeply acting functionality, which is user-directed rather than being 'set in stone' as a big list of 'selling a dream' type of promises in a commercial sales blurb - so its approach is quite a bit different from the Energy Egg 'family' of devices, and it is something that each user needs to continue developing him/herself.
  

  Since early 2011 I myself have been using the Clarity-Sphere as a much more versatile replacement for the Energy Egg 'family' of devices, which latter are nowadays redundant for me.
  

• The 'Energy Egg' - claimed to be a personal environmental stress 'eliminator'*, which strengthens you against negative effects from any 'entities'.
  

  * Their sales blurb describes them that way, but my own understanding is that there is no such thing as an actual eliminator of environmental stresses. And indeed, my understanding is that it is not the device itself that does the minimizing of the environmental stresses (not full elimination in any case), but the user's own deepest aspects. The process is simply greatly facilitated by the device.
  

  Although this and the related and much larger Guardian Angel and Archangel can be very helpful to anyone with dark force or 'entity' interference problems, a large part of that helpfulness comes only through an active use of these devices - and their programming is more limited than that of the Clarity-Sphere, with the dark force not even acknowledged by the Energy Egg people as something whose interferences need clearing out. So, people who read what I have said about the Clarity-Sphere above and think that they would prefer to buy an Energy Egg just because it has a lot of claims made for it and they imagine that they would not have to do much to actively use it would most likely get relatively little from it.
  

  On my Clarity-Sphere page I explain certain reservations that I still have about the Energy Egg 'family' of devices. As noted further above, I have moved on from the 'Eggs and Angels' to the
  

• Reduce environmental stress (ES) as far as you reasonably can, especially in your living space and workplace (if different). You may not be able to do a lot directly about your workplace if you are working for an employer, but at least you can do something about many of the ESs in your living space. Yes, a Clarity-Sphere or Energy Egg would enable you to become progressively more immune to most ESs, BUT it is still important to actually remove or minimize actual stress sources or influences wherever reasonably possible (without getting paranoid about it!), because it is actually somewhat weakening to your system to just rely on the assistance of a device without lifting a finger to actually remove or ameliorate stress sources where that can be done. In any case, despite any claims you may see anywhere to the contrary, NO device at all can enable you to gain a full 100% elimination of any particular physically sourced ES.

  Standard Feng Shui is far too blunt an instrument to be a really effective guide for reducing your own ESs, for each person has his/her personal sensitivities, and the rules of standard Feng Shui do not cater for individual variation, and indeed contain quite a lot of dark force sourced 'old wifery'. So, what you need, then, is a sort of 'Feng Shui' that is based NOT on rules laid down by anyone, but instead is based on your own direct sensing of what is adversely affecting you in your environment and what can be done to eliminate or at least reduce those effects - what you could call a genuine 'personal Feng Shui'.

  The answer here is Energy Testing, which, when used carefully and vigilantly (to avoid or at least work round the likely dark force interference), can enable you to establish what is positively or adversely affecting you, and what you need to change.

  However, even without energy testing there are a few measures that you can take, which would greatly help to reduce environmental stress in your living space, such as:
  • De-clutter your abode as far as possible. If you have lots of objects on window sills, shelves, cabinet or table tops - even if they are seemingly tasteful ornaments, clear them out as much as possible (though energy testing might indicate the odd ornament that, if placed in a particular position, might actually help neutralize a particular ES).
  • In particular, if you have any crystals around, clear those out.
  • Be aware that angular rather than rounded edges and corners on anything cause a type of ES, so anything you can reasonably do to minimize the number of these in your living space would help. Things like shelves and table tops are much better if they have rounded-off edges and distinctly rounded corners.
    

    It is thus really worthwhile, if you can possibly manage it financially, to replace as much as possible of your standard 'angulated' furniture - especially that made of laminated chipboard rather than solid wood - with solid wood versions with rounded corners and edges. The best for this purpose would be from local bespoke furniture makers, and would be expensive, but the positive effect on your interaction with your living space would be very much worth the initial cost. It appears indeed that at least some such really harmonious furnishings actually have a significant neutralizing effect on other ES influences in your living space. At least, that is my own experience as I have progressively switched over from cheap mass-produced laminated chipboard furnishings to solid pine furnishings with rounded corners and edges, made to my specifications by a very empathetic local furniture maker (Goodwood Cellars, whose made-to-order items that I have had look much nicer than what is currently displayed on their website!).

  • If your toilet has a lid, remember to generally keep the lid closed (except when actively in use of course!), for an 'open' toilet bowl generally has a small but distinct stressful / weakening effect on you, particularly if the lavatory / bathroom door is left open.
  • In some abodes - particularly small ones (like my own flat!), it can help to keep doors between rooms (yes, even the bathroom / lavatory) generally open except when needed to be closed for some specific reason. That can help the place to feel lighter and more 'open' (and indeed larger), and that would be much more harmonious for your whole system. To spend most of your time closed up in a small room is decidedly weakening (i.e. it is a sort of ES) and tends to encourage a closed-in, rigid sort of outlook, which would be playing into the dark force's 'hands'. Make your abode feel as expansive as possible and that would not only be less stressful but would help cultivate a more expansive outlook, which in turn would support your self actualization process and your progress towards maximum freedom and flexibility.
  • For most living spaces, do not have any exposed mirrors, apart from any (minimum sized ones) that are essential (such as a shaving mirror in the bathroom). It is not that plain mirrors are intrinsically harmful, but they do reflect and thus significantly amplify environmental stress (ES) effects within your living space. By the same token, if you have been really thoroughgoing about removing all stressful objects and, where appropriate, replacing them with ones that do not give significant ES or even have a net ES absorbing effect, then a well thought out placement of mirrors in your abode could actually be a strengthening and healthy measure to take, particularly in a small abode, where the small size of the abode is itself one of your ES factors; an appropriate placement of mirrors, particularly fairly high up on walls, doors or furnishings, can go a significant way to minimizing your ES from living in too small a space. However, it would be very important not to go adding mirrors to your abode without careful use of energy testing, because otherwise you might be just adding to your problems.
    
  • Keep some small(ish) house plants in your abode, and look after them well, for they are natural neutralizers of many kinds of ES and have a general supportive effect on one's life force. For this purpose you need plants with relatively rounded and non-pointed leaves, because points and sharp edges actually cause a type of ES. Certain succulents are ideal for this purpose, while, for example, cacti are completely out because of their spines, which themselves would be having an ES effect. Probably many places in your abode where it would be best to have such plants would be too dark for them really to thrive, so it may turn out to be best simply to have a few on your window sills. They would still have quite a strong general ES neutralization effect there, and you could also place photos of green foliage in other positions in lieu of actual plants, where it would be too dark for the latter to thrive. Incidentally, both the recommended examples illustrated below can easily be propagated from broken off leaves.
    
    

    The Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) - a great old favourite. Readily gets top heavy and may need very occasional pruning (like this one) to prevent it from eventually toppling out when you open the window!

    Pachyphytum bracteosum - a particularly nice and harmonious succulent with a 'smoother' energy effect than the Jade Plants. Particularly good for bedrooms, if it is given enough light and does not get too cold.

• Improved lighting in your living space. Dim, and especially tungsten lighting - and indeed candles, which latter are often used because of their supposed 'spiritual' associations, encourage weakness of grounding of one's awareness and also negative and depressive feelings and outlooks, and thus are favoured by the dark force. Indeed, often the dark force 'guides' the affected people into installing dim lighting in their abodes. Such poor lighting also often causes or at least aggravates seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which again plays into the dark force's 'hands'.

  Daylight coloured lighting is best, and the closer the light's spectrum is to that of real daylight, the better. Although ordinary 'daylight' fluorescent strip lights could be a step forward, their spectra are actually not very healthy (and some studies have shown a significantly increased incidence of malignant melanoma among people regularly spending much of their time in that type of lighting, probably because of the related electromagnetic 'radiation'), and they can be too reminiscent of offices and other workplaces (and in any case they are too energy-inefficient to be a sensible choice nowadays). What I particularly recommend, having been using them myself for some time now, is the relatively energy-efficient Biobulb*, and for all basic room lighting to use the more powerful version, which claims to be 100W tungsten equivalent but seems brighter, and consumes just 25W. I caution, however, that, like ALL fluorescent or other electronic lighting devices, these create a certain low level of environmental stress from their electromagnetic 'radiation' effects, so it is best to also have a Clarity-Sphere or an Energy Egg or/and Guardian Angel / Archangel and ensure that it or they have been tuned to any stress from these lights.

  * N.B. This is not an affiliate link, and I make no financial gain from any sales of these.
  

  Even more energy-efficient LED bulbs are now on the market, though as yet only a small proportion are of a proper daylight colour; the popular 'warm white' colour may seem cosy but it is not so healthy and grounding in effect. Unfortunately it appears that there is still a reliability problem with such light bulbs - especially those made roughly the shape of an old-fashioned light bulb - and this is especially true of the more powerful models. It looks as though the technology needs more testing and development before full-strength room lights using LEDs become a worthwhile buy. Probably in a couple of years' time the picture will have changed.
  

  There is little point in having a bright light and then hiding most of that light with a shade, so, if one really 'must' have a shade at all, I recommend a type of 'shade' that spreads the light around in a way that reduces dazzle when the light is looked at but still allows nearly all the light out into the room. As is the case for all lampshades, it is advisable to use energy testing to ascertain that any lampshade is not causing significant environmental stress itself (most do), or at least to have a Clarity-Sphere or Energy Egg or / and Guardian Angel, and ensure that it or they have been tuned to any stress from the shade(s).

  It is also worth noting that many lampshades that are okay for incandescent bulbs are unsuitable for such low-energy electronic bulbs, which latter tend to be readily damaged by even very modest overheating produced by inadequate ventilation. That is another reason for it actually being best not to use a shade.
  

  If you feel that you must have dim or/and yellowish lighting, it would be helpful to put all your thoughts and beliefs about that to inquiry using The Work, or better, dissolve the relevant troublesome thought forms / belief / illusory reality by means of the Grounding Point procedure, for you have objectively no need for dim lighting except possibly briefly for some specific purpose, and, as I say, dim lighting aggravates any problem with 'entities' and dark force interferences.

• Use of an appropriate and truly empowering set of affirmations for self actualization and clearance of 'entities' and dark force interferences. This increases your mental focus in various greatly empowering ways, so weakening the hold and interferences of 'entities' and the dark force upon you, and makes all your self healing, self actualization and entity clearance methods more focused, purposeful and effective.

  The best such sets of affirmations that I found originally had serious dark force sourced distortions that would make them in some ways quite harmful despite their helpful aspects, so I produced by far the most comprehensive set of self actualization affirmations that I have yet seen, and have worked carefully to eliminate every trace of dark force influence that I could find (and will no doubt still fine tune various parts in that respect). These affirmations are contained in The Guide to Complete Self Actualization.

• When you are out and about, especially when walking out in the open, keep your gaze for the most part gravitating towards the horizontal*. It's important not to misinterpret this and to hold your gaze or indeed your head in any fixed position, but the point is, to avoid tending to have your gaze either generally being downwards at the ground or (as occurs less widely) rather upwards. So, what we are after here is to regard a near-horizontal gaze as being one's 'home position' with regard to direction of gaze, and NOT a continuously held position. So, you can still look at the clouds in the sky and admire their beauty, and also admire the beauty of the wild flowers at your feet - not to mention successfully avoiding the odd lumps of dog poo! - and it is healthiest to have that sort of flexibility and variety in one's everyday experience.

  * I want to be clear that I do not mean necessarily exactly horizontal, because for many people - myself included - the optimal 'home position' appears to be slightly lower than horizontal - but only a little so, so that in broad terms your gaze tends to vary around horizontal rather than mostly really looking down at the ground or up into the sky.

  A marked downward tendency in one's gaze tends to close down one's awareness and to be generally weakening, and is also associated with a limited outlook and a tendency to live on autopilot rather than to apply clear thinking and awareness to one's everyday experience; it is thus encouraged by the dark force to give it more control over people. An upward tendency in one's gaze makes for weakening one's grounding and more openness to 'spacey' and astral perceptions (and thus to dark force interference / control), and the related distortion in the head-neck relationship, with the head typically being pulled back in relation to the neck, whose big muscles at the back then become over-shortened, distorts major elements in the person's non-physical aspects and indeed their whole body's functioning, and, over time, can easily lead on to painful neck problems.

  The Alexander Technique is the smart way to gain healthy head / neck alignment and gain that near-horizontal 'home position' of one's gaze in a maximally natural and flexible way. Without the Alexander Technique, attempts to raise or lower your regular 'gaze home position' would most likely result in your causing yourself further problems through additional misuse of your neck. A multitude of other benefits also come from use of the Alexander Technique, including considerably improving your grounding, and really it is a virtually essential component of a really effective self actualization process or methodology.

Management of the attacks
(i.e. gaining MASTERY over them!)

• Keep hold of your sense of present time reality! The attacks that some people experience consist of the dark force causing old stored feelings of fear, anxiety, panic, depression etc (even inappropriate and sometimes bizarre sexual arousals or feelings of ecstasy, even including supposedly spiritual ecstasy) to surface strongly, even sometimes with an alarming or indeed hellish intensity, and the feelings may be made to feel still more horrific by the dark force adding in nasty feelings to make the experience bring to mind 'dark' experiences such as being killed by a curse or taking part in horrific black magic rituals. This nasty little trick was used on me to make it seem that I was being killed by a curse, and more recently, to try to drag me into Satanistic (and worse) sexual activities.

  These attacks can be accompanied by alarming or even horrifying threats or descriptions of what is supposedly happening to you. For example, during one long-sustained attack I was told that a lethal curse had been put on me and my internal organs were in the process of liquefaction, and once I had died ("excruciatingly") I would fall successively into each of the hells described in the Buddhist teachings. On another occasion the inner voice was claiming that it was "Anlil (sic), King of the Underworld", and he was in the process of killing me and when I died he would take me captive in the "astral dimension" so that I would not be able to move on to where I needed to go. Another time I was told that the particular attack would continue in a slow crescendo over the days and nights until I committed suicide. On yet another occasion allegedly I had bloodthirsty demons let loose upon me and these were supposedly eating my body from the inside so that I would die excruciatingly and fall into the (alleged) Dark Realm and become a 'dark being' myself.

  My point here is that it is crucial to keep hold of the understanding that despite the sometimes horrific threats and horrific feelings to match, the threats are empty words and the feelings are only old trauma feelings that are being manipulated by the dark force and need releasing, and they do not represent any true threat in the present time. If the 'entities' say they are going to kill you, that is just more hot air and you can happily laugh at such flatus and get on with your life. If they say they will do something terrible to somebody else unless you, say, kill yourself or burn the house down, you can laugh at such an inane bit of old codswallop and go ahead and have a nice day, knowing that it was a completely empty threat from a bit of rogue programming.

  It is worth pointing out here that my descriptions of 'attack' experiences are based on my own experience, which was extremely atypical because I was already enlightened. I was experiencing the feelings of particular emotional traumas but without getting very much into their emotional states. Thus I could feel the nightmarish feelings of intense anxiety, fear or terror without actually being to any great extent anxious, frightened or terrified - indeed my underlying emotional state remained pretty well just that of 'peaceful observer' of the feelings throughout the attacks. Because of this, as I understand it, the dark force was able to attack me much more intensely than the vast majority of affected people would experience - but on the other hand the usually lesser attacks that most people would experience would actually be much more upsetting and disruptive.

  However, attacks from certain 'spirit attachments'* (something that I myself have not experienced) are a different matter, and for quite a number of people these can be more severe than what one would get from the dark force directly, and in unusual cases, when used repeatedly to weaken and wear a person down, can be fatal (but, generally speaking, ONLY where the person already believes that (s)he is being killed). This is thus a more serious situation, but the catch is that if a person 'knows' that 'spirit attachments' can attack more severely and harmfully, the dark force will readily seek to persuade the person that it is such a spirit attachment, so making its attacks more severe in effect just because of the person's particular belief being exploited by the dark force, and possibly even such an elemental (the general true nature of such supposed 'spirit attachments') getting created in such a situation if the person is sufficiently weakly grounded.

  * Actually, as already noted, my understanding now is that true spirit attachments do not themselves attack, and what affected people experience is a powerful type of elemental that is programmed to pose as a supposed spirit attachment. The elemental does not attack in the way that the dark force does itself, but it can attack in other ways, such as having a whole range of physical effects, including shaking the person about (I am not referring to ordinary trembling here) and indeed even more or less throwing the person about, causing the person to fall over or collide with objects and so quite often injure himself. Such elementals also can do harmful things inside a person's body, and I suspect that this is what is happening when particular people think they are being killed by a spirit attachment.
  

  However, such an elemental would not be working in isolation, and attacks and very troublesome pseudo-thoughts and illusory realities intruded by the dark force would still be a major part of the picture; it is just that the elemental would fill in some gaps in the awfulness of what the dark force can normally do to a person.

  Where has such an elemental come from? -- It can be (usually unawarely) created by and passed on from another person, or if the affected person gets sufficiently ungrounded, the dark force is able to hijack a particular part of that person's non-physical aspects in a way that enables the dark force to cause him to unawarely create the elemental himself. Only people being severely controlled by the dark force can create such elementals; the dark force cannot do it directly, and indeed it cannot cause this to happen for most of the people to whom it is giving a hard time.

  People who are seriously into 'dark' practices deliberately create such elementals, and indeed other elementals that most people would regard as still worse.

  That is why graveyards are places worth not lingering in - because it is common for people who are into dark practices to carry out various practices in graveyards at night, indeed creating various highly problematical elementals there. All it takes then is for a sufficiently weakly grounded person to come along (at any time of day) and linger in such a graveyard for some perfectly innocent reason, and that person could easily get landed with an extremely harmful 'spirit attachment' that is really one of the elementals that had been left there in the graveyard.

  My first knowing encounter with this sort of 'spirit attachment' phenomenon was actually through being introduced to a mentally retarded and physically distorted woman near Beaworthy, Devon, England in 1998, who had tormenting 'voices' that appeared to her to be of three people who were then still living in India. The story was that she had a "spirit attachment" that had caused all this, and she had picked it up as a very young child, when she had been playing in a graveyard and, allegedly, had at one point urinated on one of the graves - at which point, allegedly, the 'spirit' had entered her by travelling up her urine stream.

  I think the bit about anything entering her system via her urine stream would have been superstitious rubbish (elementals, being non-physical, do not need a physical means of entry into one's energy system), and I would say that urinating on a grave would not necessarily have had anything to do with the problem - though that would have depended on the specific programming of the elemental concerned. The primary thing would have been simply her lingering in the graveyard, where, presumably, some 'dark' practitioners had been leaving elementals behind, probably with the specific intent to cause problems for innocent visitors there.

  The point about elementals often being made to appear to be actual conscious entities or 'spirits' underlines the advisability of NOT getting into 'story' about what sort of entity or other manifestations are affecting you, and the great benefits of simply concentrating on the means to clear ALL 'entity' and dark force interferences (including elementals), as are given on this site.

• Understand that any transient stabbing pains, whether of migraine-like headache or elsewhere on the body, are almost certainly caused by the dark force, in some cases possibly through the intermediary of an elemental, and they are absolutely nothing to worry about as they do not reflect any underlying physical problem.

• Similarly recognise troublesome spasms or clenching of the anus or bladder sphincter, and many kinds of gut spasm, as probably caused by the dark force (again, possibly via an elemental) and nothing to worry about. The dark force often causes a collection of troublesome gut spasms that get diagnosed by doctors as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)*.

  * I should stress, however, that not all cases of alleged IBS necessarily have this cause. Indeed, another major factor is commonly various types of environmental stress. You can do something about the latter - see Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way.

  Anal clenching ('stenosis' in medical jargon) caused by the dark force can make even very mild haemorrhoids very painful* and enlarged and can also greatly aggravate and sometimes actually cause anal fissures, making the latter agonizingly painful and extremely difficult to heal. Similarly sourced clenching of the pee sphincter causes difficulty of peeing and is easily mistaken for prostate trouble or 'shy bladder' syndrome - the latter especially as the dark force may deliberately produce that effect by attacking with the particular anxiety feelings and anxious pseudo-thoughts about trying to pee while people are or might be around.

  * Actually, that was how it appeared to me, but more recently I found that the horrible pain that I had been getting, which I had assumed was the haemorrhoids being made painful by the clenching, was really a phantom pain, based on what was basically just a relatively mild discomfort but tremendously magnified and distorted to give it a really grating 'raw edge' to make it all feel like a raw open wound freshly rubbed with sandpaper, and then projected ('referred') to particular parts of the anus, simultaneously with quietly intruding into my mindspace some pseudo-thoughts intimating as to which particular parts were actually being so painful.

• Recognise sensations of (invisible) hands on yourself as being an illusory manifestation from the dark force (possibly via an elemental) seeking to unsettle you. It is not actually doing anything to you through having real hands upon you. I had this sort of experience as an ongoing thing, with sensations of hands round the top of my head and especially a hand on my right temple. One time during a particularly severe ordeal from the dark force I was given the impression of hands holding both sides of my head and I was told that my head was about to be wrenched off. It was all hot air to try to frighten me, and nothing happened.

  There has to be some degree of qualification here, however, because the dark force may indeed be weakening or distorting your non-physical aspects where you feel the hand(s), and so some sensible vigilance for abnormal developments on the body there is required. In my case this phenomenon led to a blatantly, obviously abnormal, almost chalky white raised skin lesion on my right temple, which, bizarrely, three successive doctors independently refused to recognise as any sort of a lesion, and in the end, when it was starting more purposefully to enlarge and was, according to my inner inquiry, actually just in the process of becoming malignant, I managed to bypass the useless doctors and present it to the practice nurse who was giving me cryosurgery for some normal solar keratoses. She was quite clear that what I had identified as an incipient cancer was for 'zapping' there and then, and did the honours, so destroying it.
  

  I can only speculate that the doctors had actually been unawarely guided by the dark force into failing to recognise the growth as being anything significant, for the specific purpose of causing a cancer for me.

• Recognise inappropriate and particularly any obviously unhealthy sexual urges or desires* as most likely being controlling attacks from the dark force. I am not referring here to plain sexual orientation (homo or hetero), but I do include paedophilia and strong clothing fetishes and desire for anal penetration, fellatio or other lurid or obviously unhealthy 'variations' as occur in Satanistic sexual practices, or lusting after obviously inappropriate or unhealthy types of people (e.g. alcoholics or other drug addicts). It is important to resist such urges**, not for any moralistic reason but because such fixations directly bar you from true happiness in your life and they give the dark force more power over you and so bring you further unhappiness and indeed potentially great torment that way.

  * One relatively common instance that hardly anyone dares admit to having is some degree of sexual arousal at thoughts or images of torture or other traumatically dehumanizing behaviour towards another person. The dark force may or may not be directly involved in any specific case of this, but in probably nearly all cases attached parasitic 'lost' souls would be involved. In any case, if you have such an issue, you are far from alone with it, and there is nothing wrong with you - and you can take it from me that the tendency for such inappropriate arousals would dissolve as you progress in your use of self actualization methods such as I give in Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way.
  

  ** However, that does NOT mean that you have to stress yourself out by total resistance to the urges, for that itself would be harmful. The workable pragmatic way of handling this is to avoid actually physically doing what the urges are pointing you towards, but, when it would be too disruptive to your life (and especially your sleep) otherwise, to discreetly carry out solo sexual acts in which, at most, you only visualize the particular 'variation' or person. Such visualizations can then be very helpfully 'steered' towards letting go of the particular 'variation' while focusing in a more healthy (or at least less unhealthy) way upon a particular person with whom you feel an appropriate connection.

  N.B. Total abstinence is the flip side of sexual compulsions, and generally the urge for it comes, again, from the dark force. An aware clear-minded flexible and responsible pragmatism is the way through.

  If you use Grounding Point or the EFT or the inquiry method of The Work on such issues it is greatly helpful in such work that you do NOT regard some of your sexual urges as okay and therefore not requiring being put to 'process'. It is very necessary to work in the same way on the thoughts and beliefs underlying ALL your urges or desires, however 'right' or normal they may seem to be. That would not in any way harm or take away your true, healthy sexual feelings, and indeed would actually help uncover your true healthy (and happy) state.

  Please also refer to my article Letting Go of Addictions and Compulsive Behaviours.

• Recognise exaggerated nasty feelings or emotional responses over small matters as being attacks and not your natural emotional response to the situations. For example, if you are a little nervous about some irregularity of bowel function (which the dark force may indeed have caused) or have a suspect spot on your skin and are wanting to check it out with a doctor (a perfectly reasonable thing to do), if you are experiencing strong anxiety / fear / panic feelings about the matter, that is almost certainly the dark force attacking, and if you recognise that as an attack you can actually start also recognising that your true natural response to the situation is nothing more than a mild concern. That does not make the nasty feelings any more pleasant but it does help you to start detaching yourself from the feelings and getting out of the emotional state of fear / anxiety / panic - an important part of your healing and self actualization process.

  Self recriminatory or strong anger feelings are also bound to be attacks from the dark force rather than your own true emotional response to the particular people or situations.

• Know that the attack will pass! Like a great thunderstorm, an attack may seem to fill the whole of existence and look as though it will go on for ever, and the dark force will feed in pseudo-thoughts and feelings to make the attack seem just like that, and even that the attack will consume and destroy you. But, like the thunderstorm, the attack WILL pass, and all the sooner if you keep hold of this perspective.

  The worst thing you can do is to believe any story you are given to the effect that you are being seriously harmed or even killed, for it is the dark force's exploitation of such a belief that is one of its most potent sorts of attack.

• Supportive company. The presence of supportive people around you is greatly helpful as it tends to ground and balance your awareness and take you out of any feedback loop of fear, anxiety and panic and get your attention onto the supportiveness of present time reality. Because almost all hospital psychiatric workers have little or no understanding of such issues and are geared up for medication and ECT to suppress symptoms, hospital is not the place to go if at all possible. However, by being as positive, clear-minded and articulate as possible to the nurses and doctors when circumstances forced me into brief hospitalizations, I myself was able to make the best use of those individuals for getting my awareness regrounded / rebalanced, with minimal input of the harmful medication that was 'required' for me by the mental healthcare system.
  

  If you live on your own, when significant attacks are occurring it is tremendously helpful to sleep out with supportive friends for a few nights. Failing that, which indeed was an option that I myself did not have, a good move may be to contact a local crisis service, which may be able to put you out into respite care* for a few nights instead - much preferable to hospital unless you know how best to handle the hospital situation (as I came to). Or even, if you have the money to do it, you might go away to somewhere you like for a few days, staying in a B&B or guest house that feels friendly to you. However, unless you can be sure that your choice of the latter would get you some supportive people around you, that would be unlikely to be an effective option, even though support services might recommend it to you (one well intentioned community psychiatric nurse without full understanding of my issue did actually recommend that option to me).

  * If respite care is not available and a psychiatric hospital appears to be the only option, contrary to popular supposition, that is not the end of the world and could even be the better option if you have the right outlook. Also, my own experience showed that at least not all respite care providers are really suitable for this purpose anyway. On the occasion that I got put out to respite care, I was put out with a poorly grounded very psychic woman who was a healer and also was not around for much of the time - so I did not get the degree of re-grounding that was really needed then; I would actually have been better off in hospital again rather than with anyone so ungrounded!
  

  See how I got on with my third and fourth hospitalizations, when that had to suffice as my 'respite care' during dark force induced crises. I explained articulately to the doctors and nurses that my real need was respite care and not specifically hospital and definitely not the inevitable medication, so that I could get fully grounded again by having supportive people around me. Like that I got the support and regrounding that I needed from the lovely people there working as nurses. Meanwhile the doctors quickly accepted my taking only a token medication that really had no significant effect on me, either positive or negative**, but admirably served its purpose as a sop for the doctors. On that page I also give a list of suggestions for ways in which you can make a positive experience out of a psychiatric hospital stay.

  ** Actually even that little did have subtle harmful effects that potentially could presumably have caused problems in the very long term, as I later established by means of energy testing.

  I also recommend that if at all possible, if faced with such hospitalization, you seek in an articulate sort of way to get any consultant, doctors and nurses who are involved with you to read My Little Brush With Psychiatry, Night Hells (Night Terrors) and Hearing Voices and The True Nature of 'The Dark Force' and its Interference and Attacks to help them become more aware of the real healing issues involved. They may not appear to respond positively at that time, but it will at the very least have been an important learning opportunity for them, and may actually have got some of them quietly starting to really think about the important issues for the first time. Truly, you can choose to make any hospitalization of yours a positive and constructive (even enjoyable) experience for all involved, despite any down-sides of the experience!

  In Exeter, where I live, there is an excellent although underfunded Crisis Resolution Team attached to the psychiatric hospital, and members of this team recognise that many crises are not medical issues, and in fact they placed me in respite care on what would have been otherwise the occasion of a third hospitalization (May 2005), and, in the absence of respite care for my September and October 2006 crises, at least facilitated my hospitalization. Actually on other occasions with looming crises, just phoning the team and having a brief chat about the possibility of needing respite care or hospitalization grounded me enough to stall the attack. If more resources were made available for crisis team expansion, many more hospitalizations could be avoided and the cost of running the team recouped that way.

• Breath control. Learn to breathe deeply and slowly throughout attacks, using your diaphragm so that you seem to be breathing deeply into your abdomen. If initially you cannot do this while you have panic feelings, and find yourself panting, try blowing up a large paper bag or a balloon, as this will take you out of the panting response and give you focus for concentrating on the necessary slow and deep breathing. Be slow and deliberate about the blowing, with pauses between breathing cycles if necessary, as you need to avoid hyperventilation. If you have no bag or balloon, pretend that you have, and go through the motions of blowing it up.

  Alternatively, a more effective method would be for you to use focused and aware Complete Breathing, with the tip of your tongue held to the front of your palate, as described in Some Potent Self-Realization / Healing Practices.

  N.B. It is important not to get attached to such consciously controlled breathing and go doing it all the time in your everyday life. You need to think of it as a practice that is carried out for short periods for a specific purpose, and which you let go of for your general everyday life outside those 'practice' periods.

• Active practices. You can use the EFT tapping sequence (preferably but not necessarily with a setup statement) to speed the release of the trauma energy and help dissolve the attack - though nowadays I would recommend instead a picking from the practices given or pointed to in Some Potent Self-Realization / Healing Practices - particularly Self-Power Walking, which appears to release emotional trauma energy at a prodigious rate, and is wonderfully grounding, which latter is especially what you need for getting your attention out of the feedback loop of trauma emotion (and very likely some sort of threatening illusory reality that is been covertly put into the back of your mindspace), so that the attack can dissolve. Another tremendously helpful method, described on the same page, is Grounding Point. This too releases emotional traumas and other problematical things such as thought forms and illusory realities, but on a more individual rather than wholesale basis. Ideally, one would use both of these methods.

• A healing visualization. During an attack, never mind how severe, know that it will pass, and concentrate on the breathing and use the core point visualization that I give in Healing From One's Core essence.

  Using such breath control and visualization helps take you out of the emotional state of fear / anxiety / panic / depression so that you are becoming the peaceful observer of the nasty feelings and then you can feel fear without being frightened and feel panic without being in a state of panic, and feel anxiety without being anxious, and feel depression simply as a nasty feeling without being depressed.

  When this happens you are actually releasing significant amounts of those old feelings from your system, so that the attacks are becoming actual healing sessions for you - albeit extremely uncomfortable ones. You can learn to keep this peaceful breathing and visualization going during attacks even while going about your everyday life, and that is greatly empowering.

  Note that in such circumstances you are actually carrying out a powerful self actualization practice - learning to be the peaceful observer of even the most difficult experiences - and this is a highly beneficial discipline for the whole of your life, bringing you quickly towards the possibility of gaining fundamental clarity (enlightenment). It is a much more powerful and beneficial practice than standard formal sitting meditation.

  However, I do not mean this practice to be used as a substitute for Self-Power Walking, Grounding Point or indeed the EFT. This is simply another string for your bow. Using a range of methods is much better than being attached to one - particularly as the dark force would seek to get you attached to a method that is not all that effective for you - surprise, surprise! - And no, I am not going to recommend the Bible (or Koran or other major religious 'Good Book') as yet another string for your bow, although, if you have one, tearing out its pages and putting them all into your paper recycling bin would be a seriously positive and helpful step, seeing that the Bible and all equivalent religious books are actually dark force sourced tracts (remember? 'God' is just an illusory manifestation of the dark force!), never mind what 'pearls of wisdom' they appear to contain.

• Trembling and laughter. Generally speaking, trembling is the natural release process for deeper levels of fear and related emotions, while laughter is the natural release process for the lighter levels of fear and other fear-related emotions (including embarrassment). On the face of it, therefore, it would appear logical to allow these fully, together with any crying that may come up, so again making the attacks into self healing sessions, which are progressively reducing the amount of 'ammunition' that you are carrying, which the dark force could use for further attacks.

  The problem with this approach, which indeed the dark force may actually encourage you to adopt (as it did with me) is that the store of trauma emotion that is being tapped is most likely a very big one indeed, from one or more severely traumatized parasitic 'lost' souls attached to you and thus not to any great extent your own material at all. It would very likely take far too long to release a significant proportion of such material through your own natural, 'biological' release processes, and in any case that is really hard and taxing work when it is sustained for long periods, and can readily get people around you stigmatizing you as 'emotionally unstable' (or worse). Also, sustained use of such release processes tends to keep your awareness ungrounded and focused on the attack and the trauma emotion(s), so helping to perpetuate the attack.

  For this reason, although it is unhelpful and unhealthy altogether to suppress such natural releases when they first arise, it is best to turn your attention to either purely grounding activities to get your attention right out of the attack, or to use special practices for both grounding and rapid and painless release of emotional traumas - see Active practices, above.

  Laughter is not necessarily such a problem here. Indeed, in its healthy form it is a tremendous healer and, provided it comes out in a light-hearted and not sustained way, is greatly helpful. It is also disempowering to the dark force, which generally seeks to keep the person taking their 'entity' / dark force troubles seriously. You can healthily have much more of an inner laugh at the comical nature of any threats, for they are all hot air, just trying to play on your fears, and laughter wins through handsomely. The problem with a lot of overt laughter, even of the healthy type, is just the same as with crying or trembling - including the problem of people getting to see you as 'emotionally unstable'.

  The sort of laughter to recognise as problematical, and actually get right away from if it starts happening, is the very intense sort that brings tears to your eyes and tends to come in repeating paroxysms, when something seems just too funny to be true. That is actually the result of a dark force attack with a particular type of emotion energy. A tell-tale sign that it is not healthy for you is that if you do allow it to sustain significantly you quickly get to feel exhausted and weary - which strongly suggests that when that happens the dark force or one or more 'entities' has actually been draining energy from you. This type of laughter is in fact ALWAYS the result of an attack for the purpose of draining your energy, whether or not you are aware of any other sort of attack or even believe (almost certainly incorrectly) that you have no entity or dark force interference at all.

• The Clarity-Sphere. There is a simple procedure described in the Clarity-Sphere User Guide, for tuning it to specific 'energy' stresses that you are receiving, such as from particular electronic equipment and inharmonious furnishings. This procedure will also help if used when you are getting an attack from the dark force, because it appears to initiate an immunization process against any current emotional button-pushing, and so interfere with the feedback loop mechanism of the attack, which latter would usually stall then and dissolve. It will not necessarily stop a current attack (but in my experience it has actually stopped most of my non-major ones without other action being required), but at least it will enable the Sphere to be more efficient in reducing the negative effects of any attacks upon your non-physical aspects, so that you become progressively more resistant to any attacks and indeed become plain healthier. And, of particular importance in such a situation, it would generally enable you to become more resistant to the particular emotional 'button pushing' that is being used as part of the mechanism of a particular attack.

  In order that the most effective technique be used for this purpose, let me be specific, because there are various ways to tune your Clarity-Sphere to an environmental stress. Here the procedure required is the same as for unidentified environmental stresses. There are two ways that I can particularly recommend, though I particularly recommend the second. They are both procedures that were given for the Energy Egg (see further below), but I adapted them and found them to be equally applicable to the Clarity-Sphere, with potentially more comprehensive effectiveness.
  

  • You have your eyes closed and are holding one of your 'satellite' mini Clarity-Spheres in one hand, which is closed around it, down by your side (the arm loosely hanging if you are upright). While standing, sitting or lying like this, you go through one to three cycles of complete or extra-complete breathing, allowing your mind to be as empty as possible with the intent that you are tuning your awareness to whatever environmental stresses are affecting you at that point (whether or not you are aware of or can feel any of them). Then you open your eyes and hold one end of the mini Clarity-Sphere to your mid-brow position and swallow once while it is held there.

  • Leaving all your Clarity-Spheres sitting on their stands / bases, you are either standing or lying on your back with legs straight out (but not stiffly held). With both hands you hold their palms upwards with fingers together and pointing away from you horizontally to the front (if standing) or towards your feet (if lying), except for having the tip of thumb and forefinger touching. You keep your eyes closed with your hands like that, and go through two or three cycles of complete or extra-complete breathing, with an open mind and the general intent that you are enabling your deeper aspects to get a 'handle' on all stresses that are affecting you at that time (whether or not you can feel any of them). Then, with your hands still held like that, you open your eyes and immediately carry out three quick 'cyclic' breaths - that is, in through the nostrils, out through partly closed lips (i.e. with a 'pffff'), as though you were blowing onto your one of your Clarity-Spheres, even though you are not doing so physically.

    This procedure does not require holding a Clarity-Sphere at all, and if you have more than one (as I recommend in the Clarity-Sphere User Guide) they will all be tuned to the particular stress(es). It can thus be carried out wherever you are.
    

  I use this procedure routinely every time I become aware of an attack or other dark force interference. I used to keep a 'satellite' mini Clarity-Sphere on its little stand on my bedside cabinet top so that when an attack or other disturbance came to my attention during the night I could simply reach out, pick up the mini Clarity-Sphere and go through the first of the above procedures while lying on my back, and then replace the Clarity-Sphere on its stand, without having to get out of bed at all. Later on it became even simpler because I used the second procedure given above, so I didn't have to mess about directly with a mini Clarity-Sphere at all - except that I preferred to finish off with an 'end of practice' procedure, and thus still kept one of my mini Clarity-Spheres at my bedside to use for that.

  You can also use energy testing to identify specific environmental stress sources and tune the Clarity-Sphere to them individually.

• The 'Energy Egg', listed in the previous section. You can use the same procedures that I give above for the Clarity-Sphere.

• Progressive self immunization, using a polished stone sphere, or indeed a Clarity-Sphere. This involves ongoing use of the Grounding Point procedure (particularly) and simple related procedures to activate particular healing and clearance intents.

• Medication. As already stated, medication used in an ongoing way is highly problematical (NO 'depot' injections!), but a sleeping tablet (Zopiclone is one of the less harmful ones*) can sensibly be used OCCASIONALLY in order to get a night's sleep** during an attack. The dark force, when attacking, generally seeks to deprive you of successive nights' sleep to make you still more vulnerable to it and make a wreck of you. Thus, ensuring that you have at least a certain basic amount of sleep to keep you going is part of empowering yourself and disempowering the dark force interference.

  * Beware of all benzodiazepines including Diazepam, Temazepam, Lorazepam (Ativan) and Nitrazepam (Mogadon), which are all much more harmful long-term than the medics recognise.
  

  ** However, I must emphasize that there is a serious price that is paid by using any such 'sleeping' medication, especially if at all regularly. I explain more about that in Ways of Handling a Prospective Rough or Sleepless Night.

  Some people may find herbal preparations of Valerian and hops such as Kalms useful, but I myself found Kalms ineffective, and more recent energy testing on them showed them actually to be potentially significantly harmful for me in terms of likely very long term effects (i.e. they would have been a significant problem if I had kept taking that preparation). In any case the notion of natural drugs being better than synthetic drugs, although having grains of truth, is highly misleading, because the important point is, as far as sensibly possible, to avoid medication altogether and work on resolving the underlying causes of problems, as you can with the methods pointed to in Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way.

  I strongly recommend using energy testing to establish what medication options are likely to give the best compromise between harm to you and benefits through managing to get much-needed sleep. My own findings on this matter relate specifically to me, so your own energy testing for yourself might come up with different answers, for we are each unique in our particular combinations of sensitivities, 'resonances' and vulnerabilities, even though there are also particular vulnerabilities that everybody has, to at least some degree.

  In most cases if you have a Clarity-Sphere you can minimize (note that I do not say 'eliminate') the harm from any medication of yours by tuning your Clarity-Sphere to it, using the method that is given in the User Guide (though I have described it further above). You would also be able to do the same thing reasonably effectively with an Energy Egg.

  Side effects. My personal experience was that one 7.5 mg Zopiclone or one 5 mg Nitrazepam* sleeping tablet taken at bedtime or up to about midnight did not cause me noticeable problems, but doses of Haloperidol greater than 1.5 mg taken at or after bedtime consistently caused me a troublesome drowsiness for much of the following day, even when taken without a sleeping tablet. Although I did not identify any other side effects at home, the hospital consultant who saw me told me that urine retention was a known side effect of Haloperidol and thought that that was very likely the culprit in my urine retention episodes in hospital (though I am fairly sure that the dark force was the prime culprit). I keep an open mind on the issue. My inner inquiry supported by energy testing suggests that in terms of prospective long term effects all my use of Haloperidol was significantly harmful - though I may well have now more or less cleared out all that harm through use of the the Returning Life Sequence plus use of Energy Egg and Guardian Angel and then more recently the Clarity-Sphere instead.

  * As already noted, my inner inquiry supported by energy testing (relating specifically to effects on me) has shown that Nitrazepam, Temazepam, Diazepam and all the related, benzodiazepine family of drugs look to be seriously harmful. This is not so much in terms of any immediate side effects that would get recognised as caused by the drugs, but long term effects that would cause a whole variety of health problems, most likely appearing over many years, and thus nobody who does not skilfully use the sort of energy testing that I now use would be able to trace the origin of the various health issues when they do arise, and link them to these actually very nasty drugs.
  

  I had found Zopiclone more effective anyway, but with my new inner inquiry / energy testing results I know now not to use any benzodiazepine drugs if at all possible, even supposing the dark force managed to put upon me another crisis-level attack.

  I did not notice any effect, either positive or negative, from 0.5 mg Risperidone tablets (an alternative to Haloperidol). My inner inquiry indicated that it was not seriously harmful for me when taken only occasionally in that dosage - though taking it regularly as the medics wanted would have been distinctly harmful, with long-term harmful effects that no medics would have associated back to the use of Risperidone. The same actually can be said of most medications, including non-pharmaceutical, so-called 'natural' remedies. Basically, in terms of long-term harmful effects, my inner inquiry suggested that, dose for dose, Risperidone was most likely no less harmful than Haloperidol.

  My very strong recommendation is that if you have ever used any of these, you use a Clarity-Sphere or Energy Egg to enable yourself to progressively heal the long-term harm that those medications have done for you (which would cause various physical and maybe mental problems later in life). You would need to tune the device to the particular medication(s); you could do this by means of doing an Internet search for images of the particular medication, and tune the device to a photo of a tablet, capsule or even an original manufacturers' pack or container for the medication. That would enable a retrospective healing to start occurring, and may not need to be done more than once for each medication type - though I would recommend occasional energy-testing checks to establish whether any retuning to any of those 'nasties' is advisable at the present time.
  

Ways of handling a prospective rough night

One of the most intimidating and indeed weakening aspects of being under attack from the dark force is the heavy intrusions upon your supposed resting and sleep time, not only giving you typically very troublesome and stressful experiences but also depriving you of sleep. In a phase of major attacks, each forthcoming night can seem to be an intimidating prospect - especially if you live on your own, and the dark force's manifestations, often shrouded in fear and menace, are seemingly your only 'company'. I myself (indeed, living on my own and having no local friends to turn to at night) had a gutful of this sort of thing, and, bit by bit, developed a whole multi-prong strategy to take the sting out of all this and enable myself to greatly minimize the strongest disturbances and to return to peaceful undisturbed nights at an early stage.

I have now split off the long section that had come under this heading here, to make another page, so that it is more accessible to people who have sleep problems but are not (yet) aware of any dark force / 'entity' involvement in that. Please see Ways of Handling a Prospective Rough or Sleepless Night.

Picking up the bits from past harmful (including 'dark') practices

Here is an example of the sort of thing I am referring to; somebody wrote in to me asking for my advice about this:

Not too long ago I had accidentally created a astral servitor through radionics and have been unable to find a way in destroying it. It's gotten very negative and detrimental within my surroundings. What's more fascinating is the fact that not many adept individuals within the magical craft are capable or least able to give a solution to me in destroying this artificially made entity.

On the face of it, I do not know what an astral servitor is, except that it cannot be an actual conscious being because the astral sub-reality is where we project all our illusions and distorted notions, and where rogue programming in thought 'energy' (especially the dark force) operates. However, it is clear from the fellow's description that the 'servitor' is none other than an elemental programmed to to give the impression that it is a conscious being. This is achieved by the programming enabling the dark force to control it via hijacked aspects of the affected person's (always seriously ungrounded) awareness / 'energy' system.

Such elementals are seriously harmful and can be extremely destructive. In this particular case, although the guy who wrote in had apparently created this elemental himself, if he went round asking various 'magic' practitioners how he might get clear of it there is a distinct possibility that one or more of them might have started tampering with it - programming it themselves, either deliberately to do harm or just out of irresponsible playfulness without concern that there could very likely be troublesome consequences. Unfortunately, people who are into 'magic' are ALL very seriously dark force controlled and therefore at least potentially extremely unreliable and 'sneaky' in their behaviour to others who are more or less into 'their sort of thing'.

My advice for that guy - and the same principle goes for anyone else in even remotely similar situations - is to lose no time in getting established carrying out all the relevant measures that I give on this page and the other pages linked to from here. Because of the potential destructiveness of such elementals, time is of the essence and it is necessary to use the Grounding Point procedure, say once a week, for progressive dissolution of the elemental and also dissolution of the plethora of illusory realities relating to it that one would be carrying. But also, it is essential for this guy to be regularly carrying out a formal reading of my full set of affirmations in the most powerful way - and that means using an appropriate stone sphere, or best, a Clarity-Sphere, for that procedure. Also, he needs to be fully using a Clarity-Sphere, or, at the very least, an Energy Egg (plus Guardian Angel or Archangel if possible), to help minimize all environmental stresses (including many caused by non-physical or psychic attacks) and to heal the harm already done from such stresses. Also needed is the various means that I give for building up and strengthening all of one's non-physical aspects.

It is important to understand that anyone who is not willing and prepared to embark of a fully comprehensive self actualization process - in other words, who wants to get rid of the particular troublesome phenomenon but otherwise wants to continue living more or less the same as before - is unlikely to get far in clearing such problems. Self actualization is the key, and, without that whole approach and process the use of any particular method or device is unlikely to achieve all that much. The plus side of that, however, is that the person would gain tremendous improvements in all aspects of the life experience, so that resolution of the originally perceived problem would come to look to be quite small beer in the context of all the other improvements. This process therefore would be a happy and indeed joyful one rather than any sort of grim struggle or indeed battle.

Also, it is essential for that guy to get completely clear of people who are into 'magic' and paganistic pursuits, because they are actually part of his problem. They would resonate with his problem and reinforce it*, even if none of them got used by the dark force to actively compound the problem (but almost certainly some would). In other words, a complete lifestyle change is called for, in which the guy cuts loose from all the harmful connections and influences from his past, and in future makes only genuine strengthening choices in his everyday life - including choices of who one associates with and who one makes sure not to get involved with (ever again). That would be achievable by very careful use of energy testing, except that I suspect that this guy is already so heavily interfered with by the dark force that he may not at the moment be able to get testing results that are free from hijacking by the dark force.

* This is particularly true of people who are into those pursuits, because the dark force interferes with them in particular ways that make them much more inclined than people in general to (probably mostly unawarely) send out thought forms to the people around them or who they have dealings with. Those thought forms would generally contain programming to attempt to force the recipient into a submissiveness with regard to accepting the paganist's / 'dark' practitioner's beliefs and practices as valid and 'right', and even taking those up oneself. These thought forms can then be harnessed by the dark force within the recipient's mindspace to cause further problems for him/her. In fact, people who are into overt 'magic' or 'dark' practices would often send out more directly harmful thought forms quite deliberately, in addition to those that they are putting out unawarely.

The unaware sending out of 'beat them into submission' thought forms is actually not limited to such people, and also occurs widely with doctors and other medical practitioners, and especially psychiatric doctors and many other psychiatric workers (though actually my own experience suggests that this is generally much less true for psychiatric nurses).

The fact that this guy created a strong and troublesome elemental through Radionics demonstrates nicely the harmfulness of such methods / practices. He would need to adopt a firm policy not to use any methodology other than what I give on this site if he is really serious about wanting to get free of his elemental. This would need much self discipline because I have a strong suspicion that he is carrying some programming that predisposes him to mess around with practices that would do him harm either directly or indirectly - and those would also point him away from genuine self actualization. I shall rejoice indeed if he proves me wrong about his having such programming!

Although I am effectively giving a reply here to the particular guy's question, the points that I make for him are just as pertinent for anyone else who is seeking advice on 'picking up the bits' from dark practices or other harmful methods / procedures that they have been involved in. It is no good such people coming to me expecting me to tell them how to get rid of their problem if they are not willing to read through this site and indeed this page properly and simply take up the methods, embarking upon a genuine self actualization process. And if they continue to have dealings with people who are into 'magic' and paganism (whether supposedly 'light' or 'dark'), they are being their own most proficient saboteurs, and only they, not I, can do something about that.

Conclusion

The dark force is unremitting in its attempts to get a hold on every single person - whether overtly or covertly, for its own mindless and pernicious purposes. Potentially, those people who are getting the overt, direct troublemaking and indeed often obvious wrecking tactics from the dark force are the lucky ones, because it is primarily they who would tend to recognise that something is wrong and that there is a need for them to do something about it. It is these people who potentially could get themselves relatively and indeed even fully clear of dark force interferences and influence, because they would have the motivation. Other people just assume they have no such problem, and do not recognise their own subtle captivities that would take them into the most horrendous problems beyond this lifetime, and they would thus seal their fate through their own unawareness or denial of their actually extremely serious situations.

I have shown here how it is possible, at least progressively, to recover your birthright of your own deeply sourced personal power, against which the dark force is no match - and a happy, abundant life free from dark force interference and attacks - indeed even with a good and balanced night's sleep, not just once but generally every night! I hope that you yourself will be encouraged to 'take the bull by the horns' and get clearing your own dark force interferences - no matter whether they be gross and obvious or subtle and more or less covert. You have NOTHING of any genuine value to lose by doing so, and SO much to gain!

Reclaim your own power and 'go for it'!
