Full disclosure.....

Thetaoiseasy, I found this post vast & intriguing. I may start another thread on the topic quoting this if that's ok by you.

Hi thetaoiseasy, Thank you for your wonderful insights. They are beautiful and well grounded. I am new here to TTB, but will enjoy reading your contributions. Enjoy your break. Mark.

...re-told, that is....

(regarding the deleted post on assimilation of other cultures & beliefs into Christianity) Not much is new, stories rehashed, metaphors tetold. Might go burn a bush & read this interesting book on the matter. http://www.evolutionofgod.net/

Hi Josama, I have not read to the end of this thread yet, but wanted to comment here and share my experience. I had entity issues a few years back, and innocently placed my faith in the wrong person to help me out resulting in a bad experience, similar to what TC has raised above. It was a minister from a Pentecostal Church, who seemed all to trigger happy on performing an urgent exorcism on me. The "battle" between the two was, in my experience & my opinion of it, completely unenjoyable (to save me using expletives) to be in the middle of. I was detached mentally in the role of observer during the process, so was 'watching' it occur, and after a good long while of it taking place, eventually got fed up & literally said to the minister "sorry mate, I'm taking my demon & going home", and home I went. By comparison to this cowboy preacher, I went to another minister friend who runs a healing retreat for that I was a volunteer at. I told her my story (ordained woman that is) to which she responded not to worry, she didnt agree with exorcisms, and that in the natural course of healing ones self, your own personal darkness will show itself, also to be healed; through love, compassion & reconciliation with ones self. That personal darkness may be all sorts of personal issues that need healing from unresolved feelings, bitterness, resentment, anger etc, that may have come from any of lifes experiences, but are baggage taking up internal space where the good stuff could be. Metaphorically, one's personal demons if you like. An external entity may harbour in such places, or feed on & encourage that energy, but basically what I am trying to illustrate here is that I agree with thetaoiseasy in many ways. Internal or external may not matter as much as realising that if these entities were a spiritual germ, you could knock it sideways with an arsenal of spiritual antibiotics, or you could take a wholiostic approach and enhance the strength of your own systems, and their natural defences. You may find a bit of both helpful, but dont rely solely on the antibiotics. There is some great wisdom in his advice. These are two examples of approaches only, certainly not exhaustive. I have been distracted & may rambled a little, hope that was coherent enough. I shall continue reading....

Greetings from Newcastle Marwan.

Hi, I am Mark from Newcastle NSW, Australia. I found TTB from a google search looking for info & advice on Kundalini emergence/emergency, after having my world thrown into turmoil when I had a spantaneous awakening when I was 25. Nice to have found this forum & will update this thread as I go.

Just in addition, if it takes me months or years to get around to it, please message me if you have the need to. It was a very alienating experience for me to navigate on my own, and it needn't be that way.

Thanks Cat. I should add that I am 41 now. I will tell my story as it unfolds, as I am ready to document it for myself, and for those who know me who may understand it, so a start of my biography. It may serve to comfort others in crisis also, to know they are not alone.

Hey WillingToListen, my name is Mark, & I am in Newcastle Australia. I offer you my frindship mate, my heart is going out to you right now, as I have been in similar circumstances & know what it is like. I also survived the experience. I have all day to sit by the computer & talk if you need an ear ok. I sent you a message, did you recieve it? Firstly, I would ask, where are you? In the US? UK?
