Hi! Thank you so much, I’m very glad to hear that. I’m also very touched by the fact that you took my wishes into account and contacted me through my personal blog as well, given how the subject matter of what you’re asking doesn’t quite match the subject of this blog. Not many people do this, and it’s very sweet of you to consider that thedragonrampant is mainly intended for posts about Columbine and message me accordingly.
That said, I think everybody’s gonna survive me talking about this over here for the time being. It’s been a while since I chatted about anything outright spiritual on this blog, after all, and some of the psychic stuff’s thankfully been on the backburner of this community lately as well. I know the message you left me on my personal blog was a little bit more detailed, so I’m going to draw from that in my reply as well.
Our brain can have a habit of playing tricks on us, especially when we’re home alone and most particularly at night. We may hear and misinterpret noises that sound strange to our ears, we might feel like we’re being watched, you name it.. and a lot of the time it’s our brains just not computing with being alone. The feeling of being watched is our body literally struggling to recognise us as ourselves, as research has shown. (And yeeeeah, that sounds weird. Humans are a funny bunch, haha.) I would say in 99% of the cases, it’s really just that: our minds playing tricks on us. And that’s true for your very unfortunate Bundy-sightings too, especially when you have been reading up on TCC-related things before bed or when you’re already feeling lowkey paranoid from that sense of being watched. It definitely feels real, though, and can creep you out for sure.
The other 1% is, well, harder and easier to explain all at once. That’s the spirit world coming out to play. The good news is that we can’t really physically die from being attacked by a spirit, so that’s one worry less in the world.
I mean, I think that a lot of people would be dropping dead out of the blue if spirits could actually kill us! We can be emotionally and mentally affected by their presence, though, and it can take a toll on our physical bodies as well. That’s why it’s so important to know your stuff, to never willingly dive into something when you don’t have all the facts straight, and to protect yourself any which way you can. I keep repeating “ground, centre, shield” as the absolute bare minimum any human being would need to learn in relation to this particular thing.. A lot of us do that stuff on our own without ever having to think about it, because it’s kind of our energy failsafe that we were all born with, but I’ve found that those of us who have struggled with (or are still struggling with) trauma and/or mental illness may need a more conscious approach to maintaining the ground-centre-shield aspects of our own energy.
The next time you experience something like this, you can try saying “go away, this is not welcome” but please don’t spend any more energy on it than that. =) If you really feel creeped out to the max, you could offer up a prayer (if you do that sort of thing) or a mantra to keep yourself centred and keep your mind at ease. (My fave mantra for dealing with any kind of fear, now and always, is this one.) Seek distractions where you can, try to shut it out with something like music, and remember that this will pass and can’t hurt you. =)
