(Warning: this subject matter is a little spooky and possibly disturbing to some people.)
I would like to share with you my personal perspective on "ghosts" based upon my personal experience...
of course you don't have to agree with my viewpoint or anything but I hope that at least you will find my accounts of paranormal activity to be interesting on some level.
Over the years I have had several psychedelic experiences that have involved communicating with various spirits...
..several entities I have encountered seemed to me at least to be the disembodied spirits of Dead People.
From my observation there are two classifications I have noticed that exist of these types of disembodied spirits.
Many times I have experienced a certain style of "negative ghost" that seems like some type of dark entity similar so what you might see in horror film..From what I have gathered these disembodied spirits are generally reclusive and dormant but can become aggressive if agitated or disturbed..
These "negative" types of disembodied spirits are often bitter about the circumstances of their own demise. It seems to me that they have refused to move on and die naturally. They will not embrace the light so to speak. The result is that they are stuck here on earth and they become confused sometimes to the point where they believe they are still living.
From what I have seen they also tend become bound with other non-human dark entities that seem to regulate them and keep them trapped in a chaotic existence somehow.
The other "positive" type of disembodied human spirit seems to the type of soul that has moved on or graduated to "the next level" after death instead of staying behind...these entities are like highly sophisticated inorganic beings of the highest order.
I have encountered several of such (angelic-like) beings some of whom seem to be the souls of certain "famous" dead people.
Allow me to relate a few of my experiences with these two types of paranormal phenomenon.
I used to work in a "nest" full of these types of disembodied spirits in a certain large creepy old Hotel.....and yes... it was similar in some ways to the one in the movie the Shining...but it was just not that THIS old haunted Hotel was not pretty at all and was all run down and shoddy like.
This Hotel is located right off a major highway and it is speculated by many that this is a reason that it also happens to be plagued with suicide cases.
Not just a few isolated incidents either but actually an average of 10-20 cases per year, for more than 20 consecutive years ....and not normal cases but strange and bloody ones, murder/suicides, cyanide gas poisonings and other very bad incidents.
In one case I remember, this very wealthy couple checked in, ordered a bottle of cheap wine and then shot each other around midnight ..
they left a note explaining how there were about to become poor. they also left the blinds wide open on the first floor so everyone could see the mess.
..and there were some other even more heartbreaking/disturbing things that went on in this Hotel, it was sort of like Hotel Hell Alright.
Anyway, I would always feel the most terrible vibrations while I was at work..After about a month on the job a guest committed suicide in their room while I was working and I quickly realized I had landed the worst job imaginable for a shaman to have. While I am usually OK with death...these deaths left a very unsettling feeling in the atmosphere that lingered for weeks...
After a while at that job it became obvious that my my presence was not liked by the nest of "ghosts" that took residence in that hotel and I was being constantly attacked by negative energy.
Once stupidly and out of curiosity I went up to a certain floor to try and visit a room where a person had committed suicide the night prior. I wanted to see how strong the vibrations got....
And well they got very strong, much stronger than I expected as I approached "the room" and I left in a hurry. Unfortunately "something" followed me home and it took a great deal of effort to get rid of it...I believe it was not the ghost of the man who took his life that followed me but rather what ever negative non-human entity that was following him around tried to attach itself to me..)
Long story short...I quit that job.
On the more positive side of thing I had a very powerful experience a few years ago that I would also like to share to illustrate the lighter side of things...
My Grandfather's health had been in decline for years...eventually it reached a point where he could no longer function properly..In his mind he lost his dignity and so one evening he shot himself.. My Grandmother was in the next room and the whole thing was very difficult for her to deal with...my family, myself included were all also devastated by the sudden finality of this loss...
After this happened I personally wanted to know what my Grandfather's status was on the spiritual plane...I was concerned that he might have become a one of the "trapped" kind because of the circumstances of his death.
I smoked DMT and I asked a certain "ally" of mine to let me know what happened to my Grandfathers spirit when he passed?
To my complete and utter amazement this "ally spirit" brought my grandfather to me instantly..
My grandfather looked youthful like he was in his twenties... He smiled and said to me "thank you".. he then asked me if I liked his new look..
I told him I thought it was probably a refreshing change....
He told me it was...he then said he had to "go back" because "he still had a lot of work to do"
He then folded up the sleeves on his button down plaid shirt in an old fashioned way I had never seen him roll his sleeves up like this before. The "ally" entity then began to speak.
He then told me that what my Grandfather had gone through had been indescribably difficult and that time had actually frozen at the moment he pulled the trigger. That moment stretched out into an infinitely long time. He told me that the reason my grandfather succeeded in graduating to the next level of awareness was a direct result of the conversations I used to have with my grandfather..
...My grandmother was spiritually minded where as my grandfather was a man of only science and did not believe in "anything he could not see". When I grew up however I began to talk to him about DMT and "aliens" he was always very interested in any story about tripping or higher alien technology that I had to offer. Shortly before his death he told me he believed there is definitely Aliens...he said he wanted to make contact.
Anyways, I told my grandmother the story(she is cool with DMT, is too afraid to try it though at her age) she said that my Grandpa always used to wear his sleeves pushed up the way I described.....years before I was born.
And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not percieve the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "brother let me remove the speck from your eye", when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye?-Yeshua ben Yoseph
