I think there are demonic entities. And then there are malevolent spirits. And malefic effects 

But most importantly demonic entities. 

All paranormal is at least partially demonic. 

All supranormal is opposite of paranormal. 

These are like magnetic poles. 

Both possess powers like psychic powers. This means even a demon person can possess psychic powers. I used to not believe this before. Now I understand. These are siddhis that can be acquired. 

Anyone can possess them regardless of character. It's like a sword. 

But in the wrong hands it will lead to wrong results. 

In the right hands it will lead to peace and growth. 

Spirituality is about the nature of spirits. It can be good or bad. Malevolent or friendly. 

Demonic entities are forces that  cause paranormal events. But not malevolent spirits. 

These are like magnetic poles. Polar opposites. 

The world is governed by the overlapping of these two forces. Both collide, clash constantly. Both are winning losing at the same time. Sensitive beings are easily affected by these. Vulnerable beings too. 

What is required to beat one out of them? 

Taking help of the other. Developing siddhis and shakti and Yukti. And Bhakti. 

 

Yukti means wisdom in Hinduism. 

Hinduism seems to be a true religion.

Here the focus should be on the Lokas described in Hinduism. Pathaal Ganga and the upper Lokas and the lower Lokas. 

The upper Lokas are a bright tunnel. 

The lower Lokas are the dark tunnel. 

You could be in any of these tunnels.

There are four activities here.. 

Distraction. Pathaal Ganga 

Abstraction. (satsang) ujwal Ganga 

Escalation. Devlok

Spiraling. Rasathala

Today I saw the power of Aghori Nandi. 

I was lucidly meditating. It's like being in a trance. This is a very private experience. 

And I saw myself killing myself during the meditation. I was jumping into an ocean. 

Maybe an ocean full of doubts and worries. 

And then I saw nandi. 

And I saw they said Nandi had different facets. 

Although masculine, it had a feminine role. I don't remember the roles. But I was startled by disappointment. 

I woke up. I began to feel somewhat better. Yet I was saved. From killing myself since in a trance like state I could have ended up hurting myself. 

I think Nandi appeared lucidly to save my life 

Aghori nandi is strongly associated with karma. Those who tried to damage me, there will be intense karma coming to them. Power of Aghori Nandi. You can't escape your sins against a soul. My soul will give out a loud scream and a vile spit. It's not holy to cause deep hurt and loss to someone. 

For Aghori it's day of judgement. 

 

 

[Buck Edwards]

I've to be intellectually stimulating at all times. Just how it is. 

[Buck Edwards]

Wisdom is the highest priority right now 

[Buck Edwards]

Aghori Nandi.
