DYSFUNCTIONS IN DEATH #3

 

The spiritual intrusions which cause dysfunctions in death fall mainly into two main groups; earthbound spirits lost between the worlds and spirits seeking forgiveness that intrude upon and haunt the living hoping for reconciliation. Being haunted can cause "dis"-ease which may eventually lead to disease. These symptoms are real, even if they would be suspect or unknown to Western medicine and psychiatry. They include somatic complaints such as anxiety, malaise and depression. Sufferers may wonder why life is not going smoothly and why they have bad luck and difficulty with personal and work relationships. Frequently they see a physician and get a full work up, only to be told - "there is nothing wrong with you" - while there is, even if it's not organic.

Earthbound spirits (E.B.S.) are of two types 

Involuntary and Voluntary. 

Involuntary EBS

These dysfunctions of death have to do with an unprepared or sudden death, confusion and powerful attachments to objects, work or loved ones. Most commonly they hang around the places where the death occurred. Sometimes they may be attracted to someone for whatever the reason and choose to stay around them. These earthbound entities create energetic dysfunction as described above with their presence even though it may not be intentional. There is nothing good about being haunted even if it's a relatively benign appearing ghost in one’s home. 

The earthbound spirit can be directed back to the light with the right expertise from someone skilled in this type of work. They are lost between the worlds and their spiritual destiny is seriously hampered. Some do not even know they are dead.

The places they may be found include cemeteries, war fields and hospitals. They also occur in Native American burial grounds and places where genocide has occurred and may affect those who are sensitive to their presence. To others who are only moving through the area it is unlikely they would be affected or "pick up"an EBS who may be attracted to them, but possible. If one is considering buying a property where these events may have happened it would be good to check on the history of the area. 

Personally I have had weird dreams and strange things happen to me in sacred Native American places especially caves with rock art. I also once slept in a cave while backpacking in the Drakensberg in  place where Bushmen atrocities had occurred and had a disturbing night of visitations. Aboriginal spirits may not enjoy the presence of Caucasians no matter how good their intentions. On another occasion when visiting Adam's calendar in Mpumalanga South Africa I picked up a negative spirit that attached to me and that I later had to exorcise. I think, because of who I am, I may be a target for negative forces and so these experiences are probably unique to me and others doing similar work.

Voluntary EBS

These EBS choose to stay around the earth-plane in order to be of better assistance to a living loved one. This may occur for a variety of reasons such as being of support during the bereavement or assisting with conflicts usually around the will or other unfinished business. They choose to be earthbound because if they return to the light communication will be more difficult. They will usually wait until given permission to leave or when they know it is time to go and continue with their own karmic traverse. They are making a sacrifice by retarding the migration of their soul. Sometime they require spiritual help in leaving.

Intrusive spirits from unfinished business 

(Skeletons in the Closet) 

Spirits who have not been forgiven for their sins while on the earth plane are faced with the prospect of redoing the previous incarnation all over again in a different form but with the same challenges that defied them the last time. Because this is an onerous prospect they may intrude on the living seeking forgiveness. Their presence may cause various energetic dysfunctions similar to those  described above. If forgiveness is granted from the living for sins such as physical, emotional and sexual abuse, hampering a child’s destiny by the imposition of parental will or anything else, then the karmic slate is cleansed of those particular sins and the next incarnation can be more favorable. Forgiveness will release the spirit from that burden and allow for a more optimal reincarnation. 

Forgiveness is key because of the possibility of being confronted with intrusive entities from our past in the future. It is wise to do this before death - after death it may require special expertise. There are several reasons why we should forgive, no matter how difficult the circumstances. 

Forgiveness is more beneficial for one forgiving than for the forgiven one. It releases negative energy that the person has been carrying around with them like an albatross around their neck. Forgiveness has been shown to be healthful. Victims of AIDS who forgave the person who gave them the virus live longer and have higher T cell counts than those who did not.

Re the biblical saying, 

"the sins of the fathers (and mothers and grandfathers and mothers) are visited upon the children unto the fourth generation."...

This does not mean that their progeny will be accountable for their misdeeds, only that spirits frequently reincarnate back into the blood line. Far better that the alcoholic, abusive father reincarnate with less dysfunction and a better chance of redemption the next time around. The family may appreciate this in case he were to come back as a grandchild or a nephew.

The commandement 

"Honor your father and mother ..."

is profound. It says honor, not love or even like them. We honor them with forgiveness. They gave us life and the onus is on us to forgive, not the other way around. For others, however, we do not have to forgive but it is a good idea to do so all the same.

It is clear from my experience that once the spirit is released with forgiveness the "dis"-ease goes away. The spirit returns to the Astral from whence they will reincarnate into a somewhat better vibration. We should be wary of allowing these spirits to be guides or having them on your altar but we do need to release them from whatever it was they did to us. 

We need to be careful of inviting spirits or guides from lesser vibrations. These are also the kind of spirits that show up in seances pretending to be a lost loved one. A seance is an invitation to them. This differs from consulting a competent psychic who can advise you accurately with the help of a higher level of vibrational guidance.

 Other forms of spiritual intrusion and dysfunction 

In South Africa someone who is "called" to become a sangoma, may experience the "calling" sickness or the Thwasa illness. Until one relents and initiates or reconciles with the spirits as to why it is not possible at the moment, the illness will persist. Thwasa is a calling to one's destiny and if not responded to appropriately there will be a serious missed opportunity and a later karmic burden. This is a favor and a blessing from spirit and not a dysfunction even if it causes dysfunction at first. The archetypal wounded healer is then driven by the "wound" to become who they truly are. Once the wounded one commits, the illness mysteriously disappears.

Energetic Pollution or Ritual Impurity

This is an imprint from something or someone negative that affects the living. It may be part of the law of contagion which states that if things are in contact with one another they can affect the other.

An example would be attending to a dead body which is commendable but may require a cleansing afterwards. Morticians have a difficult job and should protect themselves.

 Eating road kill. In the Kalahari I once observed a shaman exorcising the energetic pollution that had affected a woman who had eaten a puff adder - a poisonous snake. 

 Possessing ritualized objects used for occult intentions or having weapons belonging to someone who has killed in battle or at all. Just as "bad blood" can arise from dysfunctional intrusive spirits on their progeny so too can it be retained in "polluted" objects. Hence we should be careful what we hang on our walls or display, no matter how interesting. We should be wary of collecting things such as old masks or samurai swords when we do not know who used them and for what purpose.

 Visiting places where satanic like activity has occurred. 

It is worthwhile remembering that if heinous acts have been perpetrated around areas where there is water the place will be very difficult to ritually cleanse. This is true even for water below ground. Water has resonance, vibration and memory and responds accordingly to light or dark, to love or fear (hate.)

The Ancestors warn about the Buddhist practice of Tonglin. This has the potential for taking in negative forces and impurity and being polluted. The essence of Tonglin is to breathe in the suffering of another person or persons and to breathe out loving-kindness, compassion and healing which is commendable. However, it can be harmful especially when taking in evil either on this or the other side and attempting to purify it which may be optimistic. Far better to breath in white light and love and exhale it to wherever appropriate. There are dark forces on the other side who may find someone practicing in the light a reproach to them and whom they may want to attack. Intuitively if it also feels wrong to inhale someone else's sickness or darkness unless you are an enlightened invulnerable sentient being.

 Soul Retrieval is also a powerful healing practice that can be dangerous work for the same reason depending on how it is done.
