I'd be interested in using this thread to hear about the experience of others with intervening malicious entities however they appeared. About three weeks ago I had my first experience that took me by surprise. I was meditating late one night. I use the hemisync CDs, but Transparent Corporation makes a neural noise synthesizer that you can tailor to your own preferences. The theory is that one oscillating system affects another. If tones are presented to each ear, and the difference in frequencies in Herz is the same as a particular brain wave pattern (alpha, delta, beta or theta), that you will pass into that brainwave area more easily. Advanced yogic meditators are often found with EEGs to demonstrate the deep alpha and theta waves. Dreamless sleep is noted to be in Delta.
I decided to try the subdelta waves of 0.1 to 0.3 herz along with a low carrier wave (baseline tone) with a low rumble. Certain makers of CDs (Holosync) have noted powerful spiritual experiences with the subdelta waves used in this way. I put it on, almost instantly felt a numbing affect, that which is often described in OOBE. After about five minutes, I felt a cloud come over the bed. It was dark and malevolent and immediate. I did not hear voices or communicate in words, but I felt surrounded by only what I can describe as a purely dark force with a feeling that it was a real entity. During this, the subdelta pattern continued in the headphones. I had the distinct feeling that the created subdelta track let me, in some way "stumble," into this, or it around me. I then experienced the sensation of being turned 360 degrees in bed (like something cooking on a spit) without my volition - a truly disturbing thing. The only communication I noted was a sense of satisfication or laughter as that happened. I suddenly realized that my sense of fear and immobility was self-imposed, and with a strong force of will, I shook my head and immediately was in control and this cloud dissipated. I took off the headphones, and erased that track.
Now those who know me, know that I am a fairly mellow optimist without a particularly strong bibile thumping religious background. I have not seen much in the way of a direct manifestation of evil as a distinct force. I believe that dualistic thinking causes us to sometimes see the world in a Don Quixote good vs. evil type of way, but that if we transcend this thinking, we realize that our consciousness creates these distinctions in a universe where all are part of a greater whole.
So this episode took me by surprise. I know that the Monroe institute people say a little "prayer" or "positive affirmation," prior to their meditations asking for help for a positive experience and, in some ways protection. I had never taken that seriously up till now. Of course, it makes sense, because if you state and affirm a positive intention beforehand, you are much less likely to be open to this negative experience. I now include this at the beginning of any of my meditations, and have not had another experience like this, either before or since.
If our spirits vibrate on different frequencies, it is quite possible that certain sound patterns and states of meditation may more easily carry us to explore a "lower plane," or meet with forces like I have described. I would guess that when Bruce visited Max's Hell, he would have had to focus in a different way than when someone focused in on the park in Focus 27.
The one thing I carried away from this negative experience was that there are some entities out there who see themselves as dark or evil - perhaps they were former people and were like that in life. I just don't know. If Don were still on these boards, he might comment about demons and possession and the like. The positive aspect within myself that I noticed was that I was only powerless when I was taken by surprise by the whole thing. When I asserted my will, the whole thing melted away. Those who talk of true demons generally don't talk about this.
I thought I'd share this experience here and see if Dave or others had their own experiences they wanted to share. Prior to a month ago, whenever these discussions would come up, I would engage in conversation but had never experienced anything like this. It certainly changed my perspective.
