TY Steve, Gratitude !!
You certainly have experiences with different dimensions. Being clairvoyant can give u access to lower realms as well as higher realms. It may be pertinent to seek constant protection Eric since your sensitivity also seems to lend itself to lower astral battle grounds. As with all gifts there can be mixed blessings. I have found that unless I really can face the fact that there are really evil forces acting around us I have let the forces manipulate and victimize me. They will try to play u and use your energies financially, emotionally and in other ways. The power of ego wants to control others. It is pseudo power but is part of this material realm and originates in the astral realms which u often seem cognizant of.
Often there is a synchronicity between people... their chemistry can bring mutual understanding.
So I can relate to what you said here: “Well... I think, from some odd perspective this has to do with my desires to rid myself of the fear and judgement.” Our desires can be manipulated by others...suddenly we find ourselves in situations that we have to extricate ourselves from...and it is not easy to get back to where we were when we were free of psychic energies that access us when we are vulnerable.
Those who are able to see spiritually or clairvoyantly can photograph on their metal screen the images of real saints that move in the ether. Clairavoyance in itself is not detrimental to spiritual progress; actually in that state your consciousness is reversed from the plane of matter to the plane of spirit. But certain subconscious pictures or astral images of a lower rate a vibration may ntrude upon your mental screen and these may be detrimental to soul progress.
Spirit hypnosis occurs when a disembodied soul takes hold of the conscious and subconscious mind and uses them as it wishes. Tramp souls are always moving in the ether seeking passive mentalities through ehich they can express. Hence the danger of letting the mind go blank. This is quite a different process from that employed in meditation, in which conscious controled effort of will and attention are employed to stop the flow (i.e.,uncontrolled ) of thoughts and to concentrate instead on some idea of God which the devotee desires to meditate upon and intuitively realize. A true guru is able to point out step-by-step methods (such as Self Realization Hong-Sau and Om meditation techniques) by which the God-seeking devotee may safely attain his goal.
