Spirits and such
The other day my friend told me he has been seeing spirits/ghosts. He sees one which is his grandfather that doesn't try to hurt him, one of his twin who passed away and again doesn't try to hurt him, and then one who he doesn't recognize that is very agressive. He says he has woken up feeling as though he had been beat up in his sleep or with scratches on his arms. I'm not sure what to make of this considering I have no experience with ghosts or spirits. He says he is seeing someone about this but from time to time gets scared. Is there any websites or info you can provide to make him less fearful of sleeping at night?

I'm not convinced that there is any evidence at all to even suggest the possibilty of disembodied 'souls' of the dead wandering the earth and communicating with/helping/harming/tormenting the living. Even one documented, demonstrated and proven instance would indeed be a 'world headline'. Perhaps the most influential and world-changing event of our time. Of ALL time? I am no authority on religion, as I have no religious conviction myself. But I believe Christianity denies the existence of ghosts inhabiting the mortal world, does it not? 'The dead know not anything' is a Christian mantra, I'm sure. It does of course claim that those who died accepting and believing will be resurrected, given an eternal and perfect life in a future paradise. Post 'day of judgement'. As do most belief systems. Nirvana, Shangri-la, Valhalla...each has it's own. Our subconcious mind, which is often startling revealed in sleep is however capable of creating any amount of terrible demons and visions and sensory experiences. Could easily unbalance us psychologically when awake and concious again. Can easily take control of our motor functions (hence sleepwalking, paralysis of limbs, clawing at ourselves an leaving scrtaches etc). If you want to search the web and help him, I suggest you look at those which might shed some light on how to 'manage' and come to terms with unresolved emotional/anxiety/anger issues. Any 'real life' scenario or situation which could be responsible for these feelings? Ways to avoid undue mental activity just before going to sleep. (Video games, loud music, intense visual imagery etc.) Foods/drink/drugs which stimulate 'colourful' (shall we say) mental activity. And so on. I don't think you'll find much relief investigating the 'paranormal' or seeking an exorcist. You'll simply reinforce the (unlikely!) fixation on dark forces being at work. I'm assuming in my reply that YOU are wanting to help him, and don't buy into all this 'ghost story' stuff and nonsense yourself?? Best of luck with it.

Yes, spirits and ghosts are real. Ghosts are the souls of people who once lived in a mortal body but instead of going into the light and entering heaven, they for some reason remain on the earth reliving parts of their live sometimes traumatic events in what used to be their home or such and these are hauntings. Spirits or souls are those who passed on, went to heaven but come back to work with a loved one to help them or to attempt to relay a message to them.
There is also something else that exists which I will call dark energies. Like moth's at night are drawn to a light, these dark energies are attracted to certain things. I don't know who he is seeing to take care of this but the majority of people end up seeing a mental health counselor who tries to convince them its all in their mind. If a person were schizophrenic, it's a possibility that a person can imagine things that seem very real. However, I had a brother and a who was schizophrenic. The brother saw things all the time even while on medication however he never got beaten up while asleep. A person can scratch themselves while asleep but that would be one or two scratches occasionally like for an itch and usually we dont wake up with obvious welts on the body. People don't pummel themselves while they sleep so if he's wakes up feeling like that, I am more prone to believe it is some dark energy rather than due to schizophrenia.
Here's what I mean by dark energies: Most of us have the same ability to create with our minds as God does and the humans who are choosing to walk a path in the opposite direction of God will collectively create these negative dark entities that are real because they were created by our thoughts. We underestimate our capabilities as Gods kids. Few of us realize we have the ability to create good like healing energies to heal a person who is open to being healed or on the other hand to create dark energies, without being aware that we did it, how we did it nor how to undo it.
I am writing the rest as if I am addressing your friend so let him see this.
So what can you do to be protected from spirits or energies with negative intents towards you? There are a couple things but first, it might be also wise to look at what could possibly be attracting them. I dont know if you believe in God but thats a good starting place. Think of good qualities of what our Creator represents. And think of heaven. Do negative emotions and feelings exist there? No. You lost a twin and grandpa has passed on. It could be that you blames yourself for death of your twin, whether true or not, or you feel guilty that youre is alive when the other is not. So great sadness, depression and emotional pain, blame, fear, tormenting oneself with dwelling on the loss and not properly processing through grief, unforgiveness, or people who actively choose to do negative things like steal, habitually lie, deal in unlawful things, you get the picture... No, not all people living with lots of negative emotions or doing negative things will attract dark spirits or energies. Can't say why they choose one particular person and not another. But I can say it doesnt have to remain that way.
Here's what a person can do:
1. Focus your mind on your guardian Angels. Sometimes angels will act without being asked to protect but the majority of the time, they are waiting to hear orders from you, be given a specific job before they will do so. The instant you picture them doing whatever you asked and pictured in your mind, it is being done. Use your angels to protect you where ever you go, to stand guard over your house and property. If you're having trouble feeling they are as real as the negative things you see and hear, then Give your angels names and picture/imagine in your mind what they look like, they can look as individual as humans do. If you are one of a few people gifted with an ability to see all things from the other dimension, then you should be able to see your angels too.
2. You can also place a shield around yourself, what your visualize in your mind with your eyes closed will be real even though you can't see it. See yourself surrounded by a clear bubble that nothing bad can penetrate. Like being in a giant soap bubble but this is not fragile like a soap bubble, nothing of dark energies can enter to mess with you. Even if you can't see it, the dark energies can, and they can not penetrate it because its like magic because it was created by a child of light. Darkness can not enter or live where there is Light.
3. Restructure your thoughts. You will have to work on your thoughts to make sure that instead of fears, sadness, blame, etc... that your heart and mind are not heavy,and weighted down but instead, you are filled with peace, kindness, goodness, love, forgiveness which will make your whole outlook light.
Maybe this mental picture will help. Remember everything King Midas touched turned to gold? It's like that with your mind, except everything you think, you create. So let your thoughts be positive ones, filled with light and love.
The moment you worry and think about what if it doesn't work and something attacks me while I sleep or I see something menacing, then capture that thought. Talk to it saying:
"Negative thought, I am kicking you out. There is no place for you here. I replace you with..." and replace it with whatever seems right like thoughts of how the angels are filling the very space you're standing in and seeing them multiplying in number until they're packed like sardines in a can, so many that there is no room for dark energies and those energies are being pushed out of the room. Retraining your negative thought pattern will take some time so the first few days you may have to replace scary thoughts every other minute. Since you are also seeing things with your physical eyes, I suggest calling for your angels as soon as you see them, close your eyes and inside yourself mentally tell the angels to remove anything negative from the room. If twin and grandpa are negative energies in disguise, they will also be removed from the room. Picture whatever works for you. You'll need to use your imagination. Your angels can look like fair christmas angels of like roman soldiers with wings, or no wings but imagine them holding a sword that glows so bright it hurts to look at it and when they advance on anything of darkness that doesn't immediately turn and flee, it is burned up in a puff of smoke. Or picture what ever you like, as long as its the angels fighting the darkness with you as their commander.
If things still do not improve, then someone who specializes in dealing with banishing these dark creatures is going to be needed. Some churches have a person or people who are able to sense and recognize when there are such energies present. And they know what to do to get rid of them for you. Some churches mean well and think they know how to do this but they really don't so if the first try doesnt help, go for someone else. If you'd prefer to not utilize the church, then there are psychics who deal with specializing and helping spirits pass over and also banishing the dark energies. I have found more often psychics in the area of pagan beliefs to have a better handle on this as they understand some principles that christians don't get but are very effective.

I highly recommend doing the following:
- Speaking to a priest about the situation. (Even if you are not religious. This can make you feel more at ease, and they can give you great advice that most people don't know. They can bless your home with holy water as well. And that is said to get rid of any "bad" spirits.)
- Bless your home with holy water. There are other things you can use, such as certain types of incense or sage. You could do some research on this to see exactly how to do it.
- Keep your mind off of it, if you can. Stay as busy as possible so you are not thinking about the spirits.
If the spirit is only seen in the house: You may be dealing with something that is strictly attached to the house, and not necessarily your friend. I would suggest that they do not stay in that house, if they can avoid it. If the problem persists, the spirit is haunting your friend and if you do not do any of the steps above, most likely it will get worse.
Be careful, do not do anything unusual or stupid. Stay safe and contact an expert on this if you can.
Good luck!
