Anna help!! I know of a friend who told me of her life with her parents in their haunted house!! I feel empathetic and compassionate for her, because she has been so negative and dejected lately! I want to do something to help her, but I just don’t want to barge in her house and have a “feel for it.” Should I do your trick of sending an angel gift box to my friend? I really want her to be safe, happy, and content with life as I am. Please answer me back either here or by email, because this is like my only way of talking to you!

Thank you for this post! I was just researching my own fear similar to what you address in your post!

Hi Anna, we all have our own opinions about the “dark” side of life. In my experience, I don’t see darkness as separate from the source of all life. Even the nice example you give from “Conversations with God” shows that darkness, and light are from the same Source…

“… the big bang was effectively a shattering of God energy into small particles (souls), so that God could experience itself as many polar opposites, including positive and negative, hot and cold, male and female, light and dark.”

The Source of life is both shadow, and light. I feel it’s a shame that for centuries, established religions have known this, but, teach the laity only about the goodness of light, and that darkness is nothing but evil. We have bought into it at the cost of the stunting of our own spiritual growth. It has been used against us to keep us tame, and fearful.
However, as the human spirit evolves, we will (and are!)begin to see the untruths of such teachings, and how they were used to chain us to the dogmas of the popular religions. As we break free and learn the truth that we come from a Source made up of both shadow, and light (thus, we are both shadow and light!), we will learn to embrace the different facets of ourselves in a healthier way, and grow beyond the spiritual constraints, and religious lies of the past.

Anna,
Thank you for this post, and the rest of your blog. I so value your clarity, and your no-nonsense approach to the world of spirit.
I’m often challenged by how energy workers so blithely (and, in my mind, incorrectly) equate darkness/blackness with negativity. After all, whiteness represents death (for many, the ultimate in negativity) in some cultures, and negative people often surround themselves, drape themselves in whiteness.
But why aren’t people seeing how their fear of the dark is a major leak of their energy and personal power, and that the “dark” is just like the light, in that both contain all energies? Isn’t the goal to work with all energies, to see into them? To understand (if not accept) them?
I sometimes remind people that slapping a label on something means you remain ignorant of all it contains. Instead of labelling it, why don’t you ask questions. After all, there are all kinds of darkness, all kinds of “blackness.” What kind of dark is it: is it dark purple, or a rich sable brown? Is it dense, thick? Is there something there for you to know? Just saying, “Ooh, dark!!” and running away doesn’t inform one in the least. Besides making one look like a fear-driven ninny…
I wonder, too, how “light” workers think this equation makes dark people feel, to constantly be linked to/equated with negativity, and baseness? (Do not get me started on the opposite message…)
And my White friends always say, “Oh, it’s different; it’s not about race.” That would be easier to believe if so many White people (in the States, anyway) weren’t afraid (in some cases, terrified) of Black people, of darkness. Example, our own President was lauded by his VP as a “good” Black person because he was “light” and “clean.” Photos of black stars are often “lightened”, while images of criminals are usually darkened.
So we bring all of this in our thinking, in our fears, in our language. I’d love to see the day when “light” workers are more than “white” workers.

I always find that I stumble upon the right website at the right time. It was only last night that my fella told me I am more scared of spirits than I let on. Realising this I know I needed to change it, because I like them being there, I know they cant harm me, and I know that they will not reveal themselves to me (because deep down that will freak me out) I see lights, shapes, and sometimes shadows. Its the shadows that I dont like, and I will be facing them head on next time. I know that once I have faced my fear, I will be able to progress.
Thank you, this has helped me allot!

Hi Paloma,

Apologies for the delayed reply.

I have to say these days I never encounter any kind of negative entity. They’re rare among people who don’t go looking for them. In fact, I believe that much of the time, when people think they’re encountering negative beings, they’re actually coming across astral entities (otherwise known as ghosts) who seem negative, but who are not inherently negative.

If you’re interested in reading more about my take on this, I recently wrote an article about it: http://www.psychicbutsane.com/developing-psychic-abilities-spirit-world/encounters-with-ghosts

Hi Anna,

This article has helped me understand alot of what been going on my life lately. Its true what you say about fear. The more you feed it, the more it grows.

I have had psychic experience as I was younger but really didn’t development them. One because i didn’t know to use or understand and two of fear. Now, I’m at the point in life where I have my religious beliefs interfere in my decision in learning how to develop them.

I didn’t want to believe in ghosts but some how they are getting back in my life. Some are concerned about my suffering and other concerned that I’m ignoring them even if they have no relation to me at all. I don’t to understand much but would like to know “WHY?”

Also, if evil or negative entities are to show a person who they are, is it possible that a person maybe cursed with a negative entities and all it wants to do is to see this person lost and alone as well as never to be successful?

Thanks
