re: .4 (::CCARLSON)
Okay, you want calming? Here it is...calm down, it's okay.
(or it will/can be...)
There are lots of notes in here referring to all different
kinds of dreams...how to select which type was *your* type may
not be overwhelmingly apparent, but no doubt it was being heavily
impacted by your conscious reality (feelings and thoughts about
your ex-boyfriend.) Understand that you have control (or at least
potential control) over your dreams, as you already know, based
on what you told us in .4. So, if you really want a different or
a particular outcome, you can so direct it.
I feel that many of *your* demons are in your current, conscious
reality, based on the fears you have established on the basis of your
past, both alone and with your former boyfriend. Many of these are
based on things that happened, but many of them are also based on
things that *could* have happened. Imagination plays a major role.
Imagination can also be used to forge a different future/present. So
use imagination, via meditation and visualization, and "see" the
future/present that you want. With as much detail as you can muster,
"see" or sense (use smells, sounds, emotions, etc.) everything you'd like
to have happening. What can happen with this is that most of what you
are currently holding onto can get replaced by newer, stronger and
even positive images that *you* direct. Also, there are many other
ways that you can work to eliminate or at least reduce or release
fear(s.) You would be advised to look into the fears to understand
what they are rooted in, and to then work with eliminating the root
cause (e.g., fear of abandonment or loss, early betrayals, etc.) There are
at least a few competent therapists around who could assist you in
this area. Also, you can work on holding onto positive affirmations
and positive imagery in your consciousness.
There are lots of things to do here. But I strongly believe that
the demons you face are far, far more real *INTERNALLY* to you than
will ever need to be "external" to you. Don't give up...hang in there!

1495.3 | THANKS!! | USCTR1::CCARLSON | | Mon Jul 01 1991 14:27 | 19 |
| I know that some of these feelings must be coming from 'inside'. I'm
so afraid of the kinds of things 'Tim' has dealt with!! ...and what
he's capable of!! He has tried to destroy my life before when I had
given up on 'us' and I don't doubt for a minute that he would try again
if he knew how happy I am being part of a family!
I have faith in my family - this is what helps me. Alone - I'm so
petrified and this is what scares me! What am I afraid of, what I
don't know, the unexpected. I really could care less what he's doing
in life - what he's up to or ANYTHING! I walked out years ago never to
return, look back, or even wonder! A person has told me to "cut all
strings that may even remotely be connected". I'm not sure how to do
this as a matter of fact, I'm even afraid to meditate. I feel like I
have all this negetive energy bottled up inside me and don't know how
to get rid of it. A friend of mine is going to give me a 'seven-sided
crystal' tomorrow in hopes to help protect us.
Thanks to all for the votes of confidence!! REALLY, the confidence
gets things going!! So many thanks!!!!

| Cathy (that is your name, isn't it?),
I hope you can stay calm. Sometimes when we are under a lot of stress
- and being a working mother certainly is enough by itself - we can get
ourselves very worked up. It is important to communicate your fears to
your husband, to sort out the reality-based fears (that the old
boyfriend might directly hurt or harass you, such as by phoning or
watching your home), and the mind-fears of a paranormal nature. If
your fears are reality-based, then you need to consider whether there
has been any actual threat in word or deed. If so, then you and your
husband can devise a strategy for dealing with it.
Probably your old boyfriend has moved on to new involvements. Chances
are he is not dwelling on memories of you.
Have you been able to discuss this with your husband? It sounds like
you have not. If you are afraid to tell him, then this is certainly a
big part of the problem. If you have not "exorcised" (that is to say,
faced and coped with) the bad things in your past, they will come back
to "haunt" (that is, upset and frighten) you. If you do not trust your
husband enough to tell him, I recommend you look at the reasons why.
If your fears are all mind-based they will seem very real to you, like
a psychosomatic problem is very real to the sufferer, but you can only
deal with them by looking inside. Crystals, amulets, candles, spells,
incantations, and so forth do not really deal with the essential
problem, which is your own inner conflicts.
By the way, those close to us (your husband and child) readily pick up
our upsets which are communicated in many ways. I do not think that
some malevalent spirit is bothering all of you, rather that your
husband and child subliminally picked up your terror. You can best
protect your son by facing up to your own fears and dealing with them.
Just this last week, I watched the video, Flatliners. In this film,
medical students practice dying and returning to life, to see what it
is really like. The surprise is that they bring their inner demons
back with them. The lustful man is cursed by women he deceived. The
guilty woman sees her dead father, who comitted suicide, and who will
not rest. Another man is verbally abused by a girl he verbally abused
as children. The ringleader is haunted by a boy he assaulted when they
were children. I am going to here give away the turning point of the
movie, so apologies to those who haven't seen it yet; but I think it
will be helpful to Cathy(?). The students discover that the only way to
exorcise these demons is by repentance.
I believe that repentance can change not only the present, but even the
past. Its power rings back in time. Repentance occurs through many
small moments of truth-seeking. It is strengthened by prayer. It
requires actual change in our way of life. When we seek the truth, our
repentance is strengthened. I suspect that you feel very guilty about
this past involvement, perhaps humiliated and shameful. If the person
most hurt was yourself, then the repentance is for the self-harm. You
have taken good steps by committing yourself to the wellbeing of your
family. Perhaps you may pray for guidance in righting the wrongs of
the past, perhaps a spiritual minister may help you. Through the
righting of old wrongs (such as making apologies where due - perhaps to
your parents?), your dedication to a wholesome life from now on,
prayers for forgiveness, and giving charity, you can make a major
adjustment to your present, future, and even your past. This is an
actual formula you can use (and it works): a) charity, b) prayer, c)
repentance.
I wish you Godspeed in dealing with this problem.

1495.5 | It's an interesting stage...stage fright? | MISERY::WARD_FR | Going HOME---as an Adventurer! | Mon Jul 01 1991 15:34 | 47 |
| re: .3 (::CCARLSON)
Well, acknowledging our mistakes goes a long way towards
personal freedom. Moving on, looking forward, finding the positives
are all *also* things to do towards that same goal. Being done with
the past may be a bit of a trap, however, if your negative ego is having
anything to do with it ("It's okay now, you're done, don't mention it
again," etc. when in fact you haven't really cleaned it up.) It is
far more important to be done with it emotionally than physically,
although at least in this case it sounds as though distancing yourself
physically is very prudent. How to deal with the past emotionally
is by forgiving that part of yourself. This process is very important
and deliberate. Simply saying so isn't enough.
Forgiving oneself is not necessarily forgiving the what as much
as it is the "why." Forgiving oneself does not mean that it is okay
for it to happen again and it also isn't necessary to forget what
happened. Forgiving is a part of releasing. Not forgiving often
means that "punishment" will somehow have to be meted out instead.
Emotions are all valid (well, most of them are...some, such as
guilt, have no + value.) It is okay to be afraid, it is okay to be angry,
it is okay to be jealous...but while it is okay to encounter these
emotions it is also important to release them, to move on, to let them
"drift on by." Otherwise, they hang on and on...manifesting in
recognizable or even bizarre ways...often putrifying into very
ugly and destructive reality.
It is perhaps here that you might be. So, there are various
steps to take to "straighten" it all back out. Intention, core
emotion, payoffs...are all part of the package of things to look at.
You have already recognized a part of you that plays a role...your
fear of loneliness. While every human may feel all emotions, there
are certain emotions that are more prominent or more pervasive for
each of us than other emotions might be. For someone else, anger may
be more pervasive than fear of loneliness, e.g. So, there is lots of
work that you can do, even just around this one *little* issue.
But understand something...there is *always* more and more work that
can be done. The more you do, however, the more the reality can
shift in noticable and in desired ways. Just because you don't see
things happening, doesn't mean you aren't doing anything. And just
because some things do change, doesn't mean you should stop.
All of what you described can be changed...and turned into a
positive future/present. You don't need to be victimized by things
"out of your control." You absolutely play a part...the more you
understand the role, the better (more positive, etc.) your performance.

1495.6 | Realizations... | USCTR1::CCARLSON | | Mon Jul 01 1991 16:39 | 48 |
| I've been keeping up with the replies on this so I could get all the
suggestions and advice available. When I wrote the first topic this
morning, I was VERY scared and knew it would be long enough without
even going into ALL the details.
Anyway, YES, that relationship was terrible/tragic as far as all my
friends, family and myself were concerned. We had all gone through the
mill and each time something more tragic happened, I still stayed. I
don't regret ANY of this because I've learned a tremendous amount from
it and being the type of person that mostly has to 'learn the hard way'
- this has had a big impact on me. Towards the 'end', there wasn't
'hatred', 'jealousness', or typical reasons for ending a relationship.
More that I grew VERY weary of trying to love or for that matter, just
love myself. I appologized to all I had hurt, did some serious
regrouping, found myself (the parts of me I had let go of and even
forgotton). It's not that I was ever afraid of him charming me again
or ANYTHING to that affect. If I had the time to explain 9 years worth
of the evilness, anger and hatred we HAD gone through maybe some of
these responses would be different. It was bizarre as we went through
all those negative feelings DURING the relationship and not after the
split. He moves from place to place constantly and leaves a trail of
destruction behind each and every time. THIS pattern I've seen for
years - I guess, subconsiously I've waited for that trail to come
through my family way. I almost feel as though he is the devil
himself and HIS jealousy would want to destroy something this good.
I was not stressed out to the point where I could have imagined any of
this - believe me - I went through all the typical questions of doubt -
AM I REALLY HEARING/SEEING ALL OF THIS?! AM I SLEEPING AND JUST HAVING
A NIGHTMARE. THERE'S GOT TO BE A SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF THESE
HAPPENINGS. Things like this have not happened to me before and
anything even remotely similair were the tragedies occuring during that
relationship. There were demonic occurances to the point of having the
Christian charismatics over and performing their 'bindings of evil
spirits' and suggesting what to 'get rid of that might have had
'strings' attaching us'. So you see, there IS a pattern to this. I
didn't just read notes and conjure up the idea.
I DO need to be more confident about the strength to fight this whether
it IS coming from him or NOT! If anything threatens my family - I will
always dig up stregth and instinct to do exactly what I need to. I
guess that's what I was trying to say before, not just that for myself
I wouldn't have the resources but maybe...less of a reason to call them
up... I don't know... If thinking in terms of 'soul' - THAT's plenty
of good reason! In writing this reply I've realized plenty too to go
home and 'work on'.
:*) - sincerely!!!

1495.7 | Just Wondering | BOSOX::FARNHAM | | Mon Jul 01 1991 16:44 | 4 |

I was just wondering after reading your story if you and/or your old
boyfriend and/or your husband are now or have ever been involved with
drugs.
|
1495.8 | Great outcome! | USCTR1::CCARLSON | | Tue Jul 02 1991 10:07 | 36 |
| Drugs?! NO! There are too many OTHER interferences/obsticles in this
world that we don't have a handle on yet alone something we CAN control
and would choose not to! I know, just asking... I've done and do fine
without them. The only thing I used to take are aminos,
fruit/vegetable proteins and bee pollen. For bodybuilding and
bulk/weight gain. As far as 'he' was concerned - he could've been
doing ANYTHING. He is an alchoholic and has probably done drugs I was
not even aware of. He knew how I detested even the thought so probably
hid (if he did do any) them for fear I'd 'waste' them on him.
By the way, sleep was MUCH more peaceful last night. Alot of you had
sent me suggestions and one in particular was a breathing excercise
(not meditation) and imagining 'goodness' on the inhale - 'dirt' on the
exhale. Along with surrounding myself and family in white light this
was soooo cleansing. I just wish/hope to get my husband involved.
He's the 'conservative accountant' who "does not believe in any of this
rig-a-ma-ro". His idea of relaxation technique involves fluffing his
pillows, having the remote control in hand, a clear view of the
television and with an end-result of mild, rythmatic snoring! He does
not 'poke' at thoughts of what I'm doing, as a matter of fact, he knows
it works for me and encourages it. I DID tell him of the incident the
other night (a previous noter had asked). He was 'concerned' but
didn't know what to do/tell me. He reassured me "things would work out
because if anyone was 'playing' with the evilness of meditation, they'd
get their own - threefold! THAT much I do know!". Besides, (according
to my mother) my godfather and grandfather are my guardian angels and
no there isn't any 'badness' that could get through them to me. I
thought about that too and came to the conclusion that the reassuring
voices I had heard that night were most likely theirs.
Off and meditating....
Cathy
PS - Thanks again for all the support and suggestions!! GREATLY
appreciated!!!!

1495.9 | Dome for Protection? | MR4DEC::BEDARD | | Wed Jul 03 1991 11:16 | 18 |
| Hi.
I'm sure you've heard this already from someone else off-line perhaps,
but the glass dome you spoke of....I don't think it was bad as you
imagined it to be. When the voice told you not to break it, that was
because the dome was for your protection perhaps? That the ability for
protecting yourself and your family is so strong that smells, etc
cannot get through.
Life rarely dishes out what can't be handled. Perhaps this part of the
dream was reminding you of that.
I don't know how to copy your original message into my reply so that I
can comment further (I'm not a NOTES officianado sp?) but I wanted to
make the above comment nonetheless.

1495.10 | The 'Rock' of Protection | USCTR1::CCARLSON | | Wed Jul 03 1991 14:07 | 10 |
| I didn't ask to break the dome - rather asked 'the voice' for a dome of
something other than glass so it COULDN'T be broken. I was afraid it
could be and was reassured/told to trust that it couldn't. I trusted
and it worked!
I've learned a great deal about 'protections' and white lights since
then and have been using them and they've worked very well.

| Well, Cathy, for what its worth after reading
your replies I'm confident that you have the
strength and balance to handle this.
And hang in there because its just some rapids
in the river of life.
As I typed this in I remembered a friend of
mine (Jewish and victim of two major heart
attacks) who says: "Eventually, you find out that
everything happens for the best". I find that
very deep and quite surprising for someone with
the racial and personal history he has.
Give us some feedback after a while, mm?

Hi Cathy,
I hope that evrything will eventually turn out good for you and your
family you are are going through a very rough time and from these
experiences I hope the very best in you will triumph over the
discouragement and desperation that you are now feeling. One
suggestion I can give you is PRAY and by that I mean hard and constant,
talk to a priest or a pastor, go to mass as often as you can and if you
are christian or catholic ask your friends and relatives to pray for
you and your family be as POSITIVE as you can only then can you repel
all these evil thoughts and events. Give us an update and hope you and
your family can overcome all of these.
Love and prayer
Josephine
