[The series category LOABT contains my thoughts and observations about the book “The Law of Attraction: The Basic Teachings of Abraham Hicks”}
While reading a book tonight on the Law of Attraction I was reminded about how when I was younger, my conservative Christian beliefs would not allow me to try any of the well-known tools for communicating with non-physical entities. I was, for sure, aware of their existence, but I was taught that they were “angels” or “demons” and largely I was taught to fear them. I was also told what these beings were not. They most certainly were NOT dead people, ghosts, or anything that suggested that there is consciousness that survives death. That was, according to my parents, a direct contradiction of the Bible for the Bible says “the dead known nothing”. And so, my parents convinced me any “ghost-like” encounter was just a demon playing tricks on me and I was encouraged to pray to Jesus and beg them to go away. For decades I feared them and shut them out, even while they continued to let me know they were there. They never hurt me, never touched me, and, I only feared them until I realized I had nothing to fear.
I have felt for my whole that I have seen first-hand “evidence” of non-physical entities communicating with me. They have, and still do, frequently disturb things in my house, mimic sounds that come from places and situations not possible, knock things over or bang on walls and, at times, they have even manifested themselves by blowing out light bulbs, knocking things over, creating balls of light that explode in the darkness before me, and much, much, more.
While reading tonight the author explained his own fears and prejudices over using a Ouija board. Like me, he was taught to fear something he didn’t understand. And, like me, he eventually gave in and decided to see for himself. While the Ouija board did not work for him when he was alone, he witnessed many people who used it and found that certain individuals truly seemed to be in contact with something intelligent of a non-physical nature.
Like the author, I tried Ouija in my attempt to finally communicate with non-physical entities. And, like the author, the Ouija just didn’t seem to work for me when I was alone. It “sort of” worked with a friend of mine but never after that. To be fair, I didn’t try a whole lot though I still own a board today.
What HAS worked for me, at least to some extent, is Tarot. That, and psychedelics. Honestly, NOTHING compares to psychedelics in it’s ability to open MUCH more clear communication with non-physical entities, but Tarot does seem to do something for me that doesn’t require an altered state of consciousness.
I have worked off and on with Tarot for years now and have found that I resonate with one particular artist the most, Ciro Marchetti. Every time I look at Ciro Marchetti’s decks I feel something stirring inside me that says “PAY ATTENTION!!!”. I have never resonated so fully with a “foci” (as I call it) than I do with Ciro’s tarot. The images “speak” to me and I have managed to intuitively discover interesting things about myself though them. No, the communication via the cards is not as clear or concise as a telepathic conversation with “god consciousness” or non-physical entities while under the influence of psilocybin, but it’s a start.
Why am I sharing this with you? I just find that a lot of people don’t even know that I have used tarot or that I put much “faith” in it. Hell, until this last year not a lot of people knew I was an experienced psychonaut (explorer of consciousness via psychedelics) either. If any of you have had what you feel are experiences with non-physical entities, I would LOVE to hear about them and what you think about that experience. If you work with any tools for communicating with non-physical entities such as ouija, tarot, meditation, automatic writing, etc, I would love to hear your experience as well. Even if you just believe you saw your dead grandmother one time rocking in a rocking chair by the fire, I’d like to hear. It doesn’t have to change what your religious beliefs are or lead to an argument about what God is or isn’t. I’m just curious if anyone out there puts ANY weight in it or if you have dismissed it as non-sense.
