lake_george said:Hello Timey,
I am glad you wrote, rezzing the thread! I do not have answers to your questions, but 'second' them!
My original question came from reading "The Wave", and continuing on I found where Laura writes, I think (please someone correct me if I got this wrong) something to the effect of wondering if the 'way of the monk' really ends up in giving energy to the STS. All that blind faith and adoration.
I have read in a few places in writings of Gurdjieff's students (don't remember exactly where read this) that there is a way to steal energy from certain sacred places and events, for example church services. ...hmmm... it has me wonder just what is going on.
But Timey you wrote that you were trying to make contact .... can you say a little more about what you mean? I may have been doing something similar....
Thanks!

To my understanding, which may be limited, it's all about what we do, and why and how we do and relate to things. So changing all that here "below" should change it all "above", as well. ("as above, so below; as below, so above").
So it's not about doing some prescribed activity - the results are all that counts. Though the suggested activities sound like good ideas for sorting out issues in general. But no one else can tell you whether whatever things might be relevant have all been resolved.

There's the basic idea that our lives, the concrete things we are up to and into, more or less represent/reflect/are a manifestation of things at different levels. So, changing what we are up to - both inwardly and outwardly - means changing how we relate to things at other levels, as well.
For instance, no longer believing in lies, and no longer acting upon lies. (easier said than done - the case for me, as well) And cleaning out emotionally and changing our narratives (E-E and writing exercises) might make this simpler - some lies are emotional, and many have an emotional foundation.
That's somewhat theoretical, I'm afraid.

lake_george said:Over the past week I read M.Scott Peck's "Glimpses of the Devil", in which he recounts two exorcisms he did. He writes about Father Malachi Martin, who was his mentor in this, so I found a bunch of youtube videos of interviews with Father Martin. The best, most concise is the Coast to Coast interview.
From what Father Martin was saying, it sounds like there are no inadvertent deals, but that there is a point of 'choice' where someone >knows< they are making a deal. The longer the 'deal' goes on, the harder it is to get out of the deal and to exorcise the demon(s).
He says that the demon cannot be exorcised unless something in the possessed person agrees to the exorcism. There are people who are 'perfectly possessed'.
There are also situations where a person is not possessed, has not made a deal, but is being harrassed.
Love of God is a protection, and drives out fear.

That may be true to an extent, but how can someone truly love "God" without Knowledge? In my personal experience the "love of God" for protection basically amounts to the old New Age Maxim of "surround yourself with love and light", and this is actually very harmful. This might have been why I got zapped so bad. A little bit of validated faith is probably good, however.

Thank you ~ Excellent point Timey - and one that has worked for me as well!
For one thing, when I do really love something/someone, I want to know more about it!
It is also important to 'know one's enemies' too.
So it sounds like the bottom line certainly is to keep learning - but maybe stop accumulating trivia at the expense of knowledge that would help me.
