Anarchistbanjo's World

In this series of posts I’m really trying to share that ascension is the development and permanent activation of each astral/etheric body through the generation of energy by our physical body. The general understanding is that such permanently activated non-physical bodies can exist beyond the death of our mortal physical body. However, there is the question of whether such astral/etheric encounters are projections of individuals with mortal physical bodies or if they are without mortal physical bodies. I will share a few personal experiences that deal with this.

Back in the 1970’s I was doing a Rosicrucian Self Initiation that was very powerful. A Master in robes appeared in my living room. He was sitting cross legged and floating about 3 feet in the air. He didn’t say anything but I walked completely around him viewing him from all sides and after a half hour he faded away. This was a very powerful and encouraging experience for me to say the least. This Master appeared several other times after that at critical times during my studies and development. He one point he also introduced me to the Hierarchy which seemed to be looking down and observing me from above. Later I came to realize that this Master was the noted German author and occultist Hanns Heinz Ewers. While his mortal physical body was dead his spirit had a definite connection to me!

I have had three experiences with ghosts or low level astral bodies that appeared trapped upon the lower planes. One lady I knew came to me because two native American spirits were haunting her resort and she wondered if I could get rid of them. I went there, did a cleansing and foolishly tried to get rid of them by absorbing and transmuting them. That night I had an intensely vivid dream/vision of being on an almost barren landscape in which the trees and bushes were without leaves. It was a ghostly landscape and I was crouched behind a leafless bush as first one native American ghost walked past me and then another rode a white horse past me. Neither one seemed to see me but seemed to be searching for their home. They were wandering the lower earth planes and lost. That was the most powerful and convincing landscape and experience that I have ever had of the underworld. Later the lady told me that the ghosts had returned but were behaving themselves.

Another incident happened at a house party that a friend and I were attending in upstate New York during the Thanksgiving weekend. My friend and I were sitting in chairs watching to girls drinking rum and playing with an Ouija board. I was not at all impressed since I took such activities seriously. Suddenly the fire in the fireplace flared up as if someone had poured gasoline on it and my friend started shaking in convulsions. I asked her what was wrong and she said she felt like she couldn’t breathe, like she was under water. She said she felt like someone was inside her and trying to take possession of her body. Other people in the room were staring helplessly at her not knowing what to do.

I calmed her down and talked to her, telling her what was happening and what to do. A spirit had tried to take possession of her and she needed to help it back to the spiritual light. I send her energy and she called on guides and helpers and finally they took the entity away into the light. Later we found out that a local twelve year old boy had drown under the ice in a pool of water about two years previously and no one had found the body until the next spring.

Another incident took place when I was working with a trouble teenager. I sat down to meditate and astral project to discover the true reason for the trouble the boy was having and discovered that an entity had attached itself to him. In revulsion and disgust I pried the entity away from him and tried to absorb it and transmute it into light. That night I had another powerful and vivid dream in which I had to relive the accidental death of the entity and called on guides and helpers to lead it to the light. It turned out that this entity and the troubled teenager I was working with had been best friends. The entity had been playing the popular erotic game of trying to masterbate while being strangled by a rope so he couldn’t breath. His friend was the one that found him in the bathroom hanging from the shower. Many thought it was suicide but having had to relive it I know it was an accidental death. The entity in terror attached itself to his friend.

These are examples of entities that no longer had mortal physical bodies but still existed on the etheric plane. I have also had experiences dealing with souls that were dying and try taking possession of other bodies. This happened to both me and my wife. My wife’s mother was on her death bed in the twin cities about two hundred miles from where we lived. We decided to go there and were going to stay at a friend’s house in the cities. We had arrived at our friend’s apartment but had not yet gone to the hospital when my wife suddenly slumped over and was having a seizure. I tried talking to her and she said that her mother’s spirit was trying to take over her body. I tried to calm her but it wasn’t working. She asked for help to get to the bathroom. To my horror she suddenly started walking with a limp and speaking strangely like her mother! She had been possessed! Since nothing else seemed to be working I poured my own energy into her in hopes of driving her mother’s energy out. It worked! But in the meantime I had called the ambulance because she had been laying on the sofa unable to move. She was taken to the same hospital where her mother lay dying. My wife kept insisting that she felt fine and wanted to leave the hospital immediately since the medics couldn’t find anything wrong with her. I insisted we stay for a while just to make sure that she was alright. She got very mad at me and was very angry at her mother. She called her sister who was upstairs in the hospital at her mother’s bedside and screamed into the phone for her sister to come immediately and get her out of the hospital. At the exact instant of my wife’s outburst her mother died!

A few years later I was in the room where her father was dying and suddenly his spirit tried to take possession of my own body. I grappled with it and held it solidly while I called for some helpers and guides to come and take his spirit to the light. I had the sense of pure terror. His soul didn’t understand and was terrified. It was not a malevolent attack.

I’ve had other dreams and visions of interactions with very powerful entities on the lower astral and etheric planes and have come to recognize them. In one I was crossing a large open area and saw two powerful individuals come out from an opening and watch. One was dressed in frontier furs like a mountain man and the other was a Union Soldier on a white horse. I got the distinct impression that they were Jim Bridger and General George Custer. . . they took no part in my dream/vision.

Mostly I’ve had hundreds of magickal attacks over the years and some of them were very powerful. I have no way of knowing if they had mortal physical bodies or not. While living in Phoenix I attempted to contact a local Gardnerian Coven and woke up in the middle of the night with the shadowy figure of someone kneeling on my chest trying to pin me down. I felt the weight of his body on top of me. Reaching into Source I hurled an energy blast at him and found myself in another room looking at someone who was on their bed on hands and knees puking violently. I am not someone to be messed with or taken lightly.

But one of my most serious astral/etheric encounters was with the entity Aleister Crowley which I will share in my next post.
