It seems the more I read regarding pathocrazy (pun intended) the more ye olde programs rise up in my mind to slap me. The last few days its been very difficult to sleep, as the dreams become nightmares. Part of this is empathy, a strength and achilles heel all at once.
Two nights ago, as I lay down to try to get some rest, I had the distinct sharp sensation of having my throat cut, and bleeding out. I'd been reading Ponerology just prior to this.
And...

I've had similar experiences, although they involved a feeling of being choked by someone or thing, and a full body paralysis, until I "snapped out of it". I've heard that such night-time experiences can be something to do with "disconnecting from past life memories".
See the common factor? Both involve the throat, which is the fifth chakra. If you've read the Wave, you know that there are 4d STS beings who feed on our energy, especially fear. Guess where they connect? Right, the throat chakra, which is one designed for output, properly for your speech or outgoing communications. That makes it one of the two "easy" ones to get energy from (the other is the second chakra, the sexual center). There's a reason that vampires (discussed in Wave Book 4, IIRC) go for the throat...
It's not impossible for there to be other causes, too, like old programming or past-life memories. But IMHO those are both less likely than an actual "feeding" attack by an STS being. You are especially vulnerable at the edge of sleep, and also during meditation; both times, you are more "open" than usual. Gimpy, you mention that your empathy (another form of openness) was giving you nightmares, so there would have been fear in you... and that's their dinner bell. Joe, the body paralysis is also a way to keep the "prey" (you) quiet while feeding; choking comes because when they are pulling out energy, you'll feel like you can't breathe in air.
I asked my wife to read these posts, and she reported a similar experience during meditation, when something grabbed her by the throat. She wasn't fearful, and shook it off and threw it back. She also "saw" it (not physically), and had no doubt about its nature. It didn't bother her again.

No, I'm not predisposed to hallucinations, and I sat right back up and said "Knock it off. I'm not quitting."
Good response! If you are clear and firm, they
cannot continue. Some people find that shielding, like seeing a cocoon of white light around you, provides protection. It can't hurt, but IMHO Laura has the right idea with "Knowledge protects". If you know what you are dealing with, you don't give it the power it has if you are ignorant.

Hubby asked me what was up and I told him. He is now concerned for my mental health. I don't think the answer is seeing a doctor, they will only make sure I'm zombified.
Right. Tranquilizers do shut down chakras, but that's not really protection. And that's about all most psychiatrists know. I'd avoid them entirely too. Also avoid religiously-oriented exorcists, who will mainly raise the fear level. Some, like Laura (her work before she started working with the C's), know what they are doing, but they are few and far between.

Since reading the C's and embarking on the quest for knowledge, these program hitches are increasing. Under usual circumstances I would never speak of such things. However I am in agreement with the need for transparency, something I've worked very hard towards for half my life. (I do get head shy, its hard sometimes)
I've found Lobacewski's words on maintaining a kind of objectivity to be helpful in dealing with this, but was wondering if anyone else has suggestions for wrestling this particular pratty bogey. :)
There are a few possibilities, all of which can help:
- Avoid fear. Don't just shut down, replace it with understanding. Even anger is better. Remember "Learning is fun!" even when it doesn't appear to be fun at all. Humor helps, even if it's macabre.
- Use psychic shielding. See what your intuition suggests, and use it. It might be a scarf made of armor, a bubble of light around you, a guardian standing next to you... and expect to vary it as you go along.
- When you feel anything at your throat, order it away. Refuse to give in to it. They
must respect that. Be very firm, and it will back off.
- Don't talk about it to people who don't understand, even those close to you. What can happen to you if someone with "authority" decides you're "mentally ill" is unbelievable. Call it a "bad dream", or indigestion... they won't lock you up for that. Whatever you do, do not mention the STS beings to the uninformed!
All the best to you both!
