Wow, I wasn't expecting a response, and so quickly.
Vodsel, thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it. One of the reviews from Amazon says this: 'Mr. deKorne's comments on entities and the imaginal realm are right on target.'
So someone is in agreement with you - it would appear that this book is very appropriate for my purposes. (And probably quite interesting to boot) Very helpful
And to endlessness: My last experience (besides cannabis, alcohol and tobacco) was probably five or six weeks ago with MDMA. At the end of the night things started getting pretty psychedelic. I saw the entity and he shouted: 'GET HIM OUT!!' very angrily. But remarkably that was the beginning of my emancipation, in the sense that I was no longer depressed, I had faced the entity without fear and gained insight into what had been happening to me.
In terms of my daily life, there are small things and big things, direct and indirect. Some minor weirdness includes 'watery twitches', random pinpricks of pain, headaches, a strange clicking noise coming from inside of my head, body vibrating, decreased appetite, a feeling of pressure in the front-left of my head, aches in random parts of my body, flashes of light in my vision, abberrant thoughts, among other things.
The main problem is in the form of sleep and dreams though. He frequently comes to me in my sleep, particularly if I become lucid, for some reason. Sometimes it seems that he is directing some of these dreams himself in some way. These dreams are often stranger and always more sinister than normal. I have encountered him quite a few times, either in his own form or through his manipulation of characters in my dream, most frequently my father.
But the real big problem is entering the psychedelic state where he is free to psychically hurt me. It is the one place he has very real power over me. It is hard to describe, but there is a bodily, vibrational intensity, a sort of magnetic void. A sense of entering another realm. It is very physical, very psychedelic. The gravity is immense. Boundaries dissolve. It occurs in a state where I am almost asleep but my mind is still 'on'. He is indescribably cruel and very powerful too, although I am resisting it well for now. It is intense. When he is coming 'closer' and attempting to strike (or even simply being very present) there is a big rush of (warm, positive, vibrational) energy to the sides of my head in particular. This seems to be a kind of defense mechanism by my body/mind. One feeling I could compare it to is goosebumps although it is quite different and much more fluid and energetic.
I fear being in the dark now, and I fear going to sleep often, often enough to keep me awake all night. I have taken to drinking alcohol before bed because it mitigates some of the symptoms and the fear. And smoking far more frequently
This is quite a lot to try to describe, and there's quite a lot more to it than what I have said. I don't think I'm doing it well at all. Maybe I should start a thread on it separately... In the mean time, I'll have a look at the dark entities thread. Thank you
