So, today we're going to be discussing a big subject within occultism and the esoteric practices as a whole. This is the concept of trickster spirits or as they are sometimes called astral parasites, intrusive entities or impostor spirits. Now this is a topic that I mention a lot in passing. I do discuss the concept of curses and spirit attacks and what it really means from a trauma-informed perspective.
Now, it's important to realize that trickster spirits or imposter spirits or astral parasites, however you however you want to refer to them, are one of the biggest projection points for people's unresolved crap. Unresolved trauma gets projected onto the spirit world all of the time. And that unresolved trauma does impact what it is that you pull in through resonance alone.
Now, by saying this, I'm not saying that intrusive entities do not exist. I'm not saying that astral parasites do not exist. They are tangible astral constructs. But in order for something to make its way into your consciousness, there has to be a resonance, something inside of you that pulls that energy towards you. And it's always going to be repressed trauma, mental constructs, and beliefs that the person has around how safe they are in the world.
Now what a trickster spirit really is is normally an intelligence that creates the sensation that it is something else. Okay. Astral parasites or impostor spirits can often take on the form of spirits in which a practitioner is intending to invoke or tap into. Many occultists say that it's quite a common concept for newer practitioners who don't know how to discern, who are performing spirit invocations, bringing forward intelligences, but don't know how to discern them.
What astral parasites really are are a type of parasitic being that have developed a certain level of power and authority within the astral plane, but they sustain themselves by siphoning energy from an external source. So they are a type of vampiric entity that sustain themselves predominantly by siphoning the energy from other intelligences or other people. But it's important to realize that they also hold rich symbolism and archetypal meaning for the trauma in which a person or practitioner has within them already.
Therefore, if somebody has problems with consistent spirit attacks, curses, visits from parasitic beings, or they are receiving the sensation that something outside of them has a power over them, then there is something much much bigger going on underneath the surface. I've been doing this a long time. I have seen firsthand the types of people that experience consistent spirit attacks and the types of people that do not experience spirit attacks. Those who experience spirit attacks regularly or encounters with parasitic beings all have a similar traumatic imprint. The past trauma somewhat makes them believe and creates the sensation that the world is no longer safe. So therefore, something outside of them has always got it in for them and is always going to be trying to take advantage of that particular individual.
So those who experience spirit attacks or attachments from astral parasites normally have not reached the point in their evolutionary process yet whereby they have a strong and genuine working relationship with their own unconscious mind. This is the purpose of individuation-based practices and occult initiation through say the cliff off or particularly the darker aspects of the occult. It's all about mastering your own internal darkness so that it does not have a power over you.
If somebody attracts an external spirit into them, they are holding on to a resonance which is pulling that in. In other words, they are getting something paradoxically out of that parasitic connection. I'm not disproving the fact that these external entities exist. They do. Astral parasites are tangible energetic constructs, but they are also fed into by the person that is perceiving such an encounter.
So in order to prevent a visit from a trickster spirit or in order to actually gain some sovereignty and be able to practice these types of sciences in a sustainable way, one has to build a connection with their own internal darkness. A sign of somebody who is building a relationship with their own internal darkness in a very serious and real way basically are those that see these entities as as much external concepts as they are internal concepts. That every spirit and every intelligence is going to represent a mirror, a microcosmic mirror to that individual.
No spirit has a set or definitive form. Okay? An angel does not appear as a robed being. A demon does not appear always with horns. These are energies that are multi-dimensional in nature and they are going to take on different forms according to the image that is being projected by the individual. So in other words, if a parasitic being moves towards an individual through resonance they have in their system, then what's going to happen is that that particular being is going to take on the story in which a person is projecting into it.
Therefore, if a person is holding on to a lot of repressed trauma, they are not going to see that encounter as a teacher or initiator, which would be the healthy way to approach it. Instead, they are going to see it as a threat and something to fight against. Meanwhile, what's actually happening on the psychological level is that they are actually fighting with themselves, fighting with the archetypal representation of this particular entity and therefore denying the integration of what that entity really represents.
Those who have a genuine working relationship with their shadow self do not consistently experience spirit attacks. Those who continuously experience spirit attacks. I hear it all the time. People who get into esotericism. Oh, I'm always being attacked. I'm being attacked by this. I'm being attacked by that. In other words, something outside of me has always got a power over me. That is not sustainable. Okay? If you really want to step into your power, take accountability, and build a genuine connection with your own inner darkness, nothing outside of you can take the blame anymore. No spirit, no person, nothing. You have to own it. You have to own everything. Otherwise, there is always going to be something outside of you that has a power over you. You're going to keep experiencing spirit attacks. You're going to keep experiencing parasitic encounters, be that with people or spirits, energies, whatever that may be. All of it is a mirror of what is inside of you.
And if a person does not want to take accountability, then what I am saying is going to immensely trigger them. Okay? Normally, I trigger somebody or a share of different people by mentioning stuff like this. by mentioning that any encounter that you have in the spirit world is going to be down to your own connection with yourself and your own unconscious mind. So if something has a power over you, be that a person or a magician or an astral parasite or a trickster spirit, however you want to refer to it, then there is something inside of you that you are not owning, that you are trying to project responsibility onto that is something outside of you. This is not sustainable for genuine ongoing integration, individuation, and sustainable evolution. Massive subject and extremely important for anybody who is interested in esotericism and the occult sciences. So definitely stay tuned as we dive into the mechanics of astral parasites and trickster spirits.
[music] [music] >> [music] >> I love these topics because I like to stir the pot. In case you haven't noticed, I like to stir the pot a lot within these types of occult communities because there is absolutely no trauma-informed information within these communities at all. And so many people are just blaming, blatantly blaming the world around them or the spirit world for things that they are experiencing inside of them. Okay. It is a sign of spiritual immaturity when somebody is looking at the outer layer of the problem and projecting all of their blame into that one thing. Whether it's a person, whether it's a spirit, whatever that may be, it's a sign that the person does not want to take genuine ownership and accountability. And in fact there is comfort in having things outside of the person that have a power over that individual.
Understand that everything that you encounter in your world, be that astrally, physically, whatever that may be, is going to hold evolutionary power for you. What defines your ability to actually use those experiences for your best interest from an evolutionary perspective is going to be your response and your willingness to face restriction and look at what it is that you are avoiding. This requires a certain level of spiritual maturity. A level of maturity that very few practitioners are genuinely ready to embody because it takes a lot of experience. And let's face it, trial and error to be able to understand the medicine that is in the concept of obstacles, restriction, and limitation. And to actually get to a point within your process whereby you are actually willing to go into places within yourself that you know are going to create perceived obstacles, restriction, and limitation. the very thing that you have been taught to avoid in exchange for ease.
So understand that when you make the decision to evolve and step onto a genuine process of trauma integration and individuation, you are going to experience external manifestations of internal obstacles because you are making the conscious decision to evolve. And when you're doing that, the energy in your system is shifting. And what is being brought to you in the external world is going to mirror that shift. In other words, the obstacles and beliefs that are stored within your system that you cannot perceive yourself have to then come at you through the world around you or maybe even through an encounter astrally or some sort of metaphysical problem or encounter.
So understand that anything that you are facing in terms of restriction or obstacles holds evolutionary power because it is a manifestation of an obstacle which is within you. Okay? An obstacle which is made up of mental constructs and beliefs about yourself and the world that have established from your early years trauma. So the medicine is in consciously facing that restriction. Okay.
In my process, particularly the earlier parts of my process, I used to have all kinds of psychic phenomenon going on, okay? Like perceived beings coming and visiting me in my sleep, okay? The sensation that a bomb was going off in my head. I've had it all when it comes to the spirit world interacting with me in the earlier parts of my journey and experiencing firsthand how that responds to the trauma that is already stored within my body and how there isn't really a separation to it simply because anything that you are going to encounter from the perspective of an energy or a spirit is not one for the No matter what we're referring to, we're referring to things that are shaped only by how you are perceiving them. Okay? A deity has unlimited numbers of faces. Okay? Aspects that have not actually taken definitive form to anybody. You may perceive, say, Carly as like a big spider being, maybe a form that she hasn't appeared in before. You may experience Lilith as an angelic being. You may experience Lucifer as a big demon or an angel emanating pure light. You may experience another spirit in a way that has not been consciously perceived in that way by anybody else. That's happening because it is taking on a form according to your own beliefs and perceptual filtering that is affecting your ability to perceive that particular energy. It doesn't mean that the spirit itself is a projection of your own unconscious mind. It means that the form that the spirit is taking is a projection of your own unconscious mind.
So you can experience all kinds of psychic phenomenon particularly if your psychic abilities are starting to open up. But how to really ground those abilities and how to actually use what you are experiencing for your evolutionary best interest is to acknowledge that everything outside of you has a root inside of you. Everything that you are experiencing in the world around you is inside of you already. That's why it is communicating with you through the world around you. And those who do not have and are not willing to establish a working relationship with their own shadow and understand that this is how their shadow works. It uses the world around them to communicate paradoxical lessons and paradoxical messages through say psychic phenomenon through other people through encounters whatever that may be.
Your willingness to face your own internal restriction and to face what you are avoiding is going to define whether a particular encounter with whatever intelligence a person, trickster, spirit, angel, don, whatever that may be, it's only you that defines how much potential and how useful that encounter is actually going to be by consciously facing what you are repressing and ultimately consciously facing the restriction that you have been taught to avoid.
So if we take spirit attachments as an example, okay, somebody experiences a spirit attack, a type of psychic phenomenon where an external spirit is either draining them or attacking them literally. There are numerous reasons as to why this can occur. First and foremost, I'm going to repeat myself again. It is an external manifestation of something which is inside. So if you look at the behavior of that particular intelligence and what it's doing, look at the symbolism behind it. Okay? Develop the ego elasticity to not hone in on the problem of being a victim. But develop the elasticity that is required to be able to see the bigger picture of that encounter and understand why it is there. How is it behaving towards you? Is it hostile? Okay. Is it calling you names? Okay. Is it draining you? Is it pretending to be something it's not? All of this holds symbolism for the wound that is inside of you.
So, an astral parasite saying that it is something that it's not. This is a call to then go inwards and understand where you have learned that it is not safe to actually trust the world and trust those around you. So now it's manifesting as a literal psychic phenomenon that is there to help you develop that particular lesson. And once you have developed that lesson, there is no reason for that to make its way back into your reality. But it's only if you approach it in that way. Okay? If you approach something coming towards you as, oh, it's an obstacle. Oh, it's trying to hurt me. Oh, it's it's constantly trying to hurt me. I'm constantly being attacked. I'm constantly being attacked by this. Okay. Nice dense victim energy there. Then you are never going to actually resolve the problem. Maybe you will temporarily. Maybe you'll go to another inexperienced practitioner and an inexperienced practitioner will perform an exorcism or a banishing on you and get rid of the actual energy temporarily speaking, but because it's an expression of what's inside, it's going to come at you through a stronger experience. Okay? It's having the accountability to be able to see when you have denied restriction and denied manifestations of that restriction and then it has come at you in the form of a more dense encounter in the world around you or psychically whatever that may be.
So understand that any encounter is going to hold that potential which means that particularly if it if it is a recurring pattern, if you are constantly experiencing spirit attacks or curses or whatever that may be, if it is recurring, then you are perpetuating in avoidance and trying to separate yourself from the solution by projecting that sovereignty outside. And according to your programming, if you are one of those people that remains in the perpetual cycle of blaming the spirit world for your own repressed trauma or blaming the world around you for your own repressed trauma, then that is what you are getting out of that encounter. Okay? And every parasitic encounter is going to hold a two-way feed. Let me say that again. Every parasitic encounter, be that with a person, a spirit, whatever that may be, is going to form a two-way feed. This means that, okay, if a spirit is there draining me, it's easy to say, "Oh, that spirit is draining me." But what are you getting out of being drained? What are you actually getting out of being the one who is being attacked? Being the one who is being attacked by evil? being the one who is being attacked by by some kind of dark being. What are you getting out of that victimhood? The same goes if you attract a narcissistic person into your reality. What are you getting out of being controlled by this individual? What you're getting out of it, quite simply, is the ability to stay within a space of disempowerment that feels safe to your ego and remain in a space of projecting sovereignty onto somebody else because it's too dangerous to take genuine accountability and ownership for that yourself.
So if you are somebody who is thinking that they are experiencing a spirit attack or they are experiencing an astral parasite or a trickster spirit or they think that they're being cursed, what are you getting out of it? Okay, be honest with yourself. And if you cannot have the accountability and the ego elasticity to be able to look at yourself in that way, then good luck. you're going to perpetuate in your own crap for the rest of your life until you are ready to genuinely look at something from a deeper perspective and understand that you are the one that is bringing it in. You are the one that is responsible for that encounter. So therefore you have to take ownership of it. If you genuinely want to be in your power, you have to take ownership of that encounter. take ownership of that intelligence that has made its way into your being, into your consciousness.
So, every parasite has a two-way feed. There is the literal feed, what you are seeing on the surface, on the literal level, but there is what is beneath the surface. And this is the same as a type of trauma bond. Okay? The same as a type of trauma bond that you could have with a person. Okay? You could be validating somebody a person's narcissistic traits by being a victim to them and then they are also validating your victim energy and victim wounds. So therefore you are actually feeding off of each other in that respect. Okay. On the surface, oh, I'm the victim that's being drained by the narcissist, but actually you are feeding off of them as well. It's a two-way thing. People pleasers are the biggest narcissists. They are just in denial of it. Because those who hold that external layer of being a people pleaser, they are holding a strongly narcissistic energy beneath it because they have a need to be needed that they are then using through other people or fulfilling through those around them. So you are creating any parasitic encounter that you are encountering. And until you start taking accountability for it and actually understanding why it is there in the first place and what you are getting out of it, then there is no chance of being able to integrate and genuinely heal. Okay? No matter what has happened, okay? No matter what has happened, okay? It doesn't mean that any trauma in your past was your fault. It doesn't mean that you're that you're taking responsibility for everything, but you are actually taking ownership of what that restriction has done for you. The comfort that it has pushed you into as a result of feeling it and the initial lack of ability to take genuine ownership and accountability for your own repressed energy.
This is all a trickster spirit is a manifestation of a person's lack of ability to trust in the world around them. A person's repressed energy, particularly if they start doing the new age practices on opening their third eye without doing the groundwork and looking at themselves first and genuinely practicing proper self inquiry and tuning into their body sensations and things like that, somebody is not going to know how to look at their trauma. Somebody is not going to know how to take genuine accountability for things. Instead, they're just going to do what they know to do and that's blame. Project that blame onto something which is outside of the person.
So this really resides your ability to use these encounters as a genuine encounter that is for your evolutionary best interest resides within your ability to see it as an initiation to see it as something which has come in to initiate you into a deeper level of strength resilience and personal power. This happens to everybody to some extent. Everybody is going to experience restriction. Everybody is going to experience obstacles. Everybody is going to experience limitation. It's not about getting to a point in your path where everything is completely free flowing easy all of the time. If you're trying to get to that point, you're likely bypassing because your ability to face restriction is actually having the genuine spiritual maturity to understand the paradox of restriction. that when you are facing and willingly invoking the obstacles that are inside of your system, then they will have no reason to come at you through external encounters, through people around you, through spirit attacks, whatever that may be.
This is the purpose of dark matter alchemy and working with the deep unconscious in such a tangible primal and intense way is to get to a point where you are understanding what evolution actually is. Evolution does not come through ease. It comes through your ability to consciously face restriction, limitation, and pressure head on to then experience the benefits that come from facing what you are avoiding. So if you willingly evoke what it is that you are trying to avoid, it will have no reason to come towards you in the form of a destructive encounter. Chaos only manifests externally towards you if you are not owning what is inside of you. That's the only reason your unconscious mind has to bring you experiences that are ultimately chaotic and rupturous because that's the only way to trigger the transformation. Whereas if you are willingly facing what you are avoiding and you're understanding that every external encounter is a mirror of an internal obstacle that you have had inside of you for a long time and the only reason why it's coming at you through the external world in the form of a person in the form of a spirit or whatever that may be is because it is ready to be transmuted.
So, going back to the concept of astral parasites and trickster spirits, if you think that you're being attacked and it's like, "Oh, I hope I don't keep being attacked by this energy," try invoking the energy. Try invoking the actual energy that is attacking you. Look at it. Face it. Eat it. Devour it. Take it as a part of you. Because when you do that, it will be absorbed into your field and it will become a part of you. If you think that something is attacking you in that way, evoke it, bring it to you, devour it, and see it as something that is an expression of you because it is. And if it's a parasitic entity, then you are you're actually going to be doing it a favor by actually deconstructing that very construct of it being a parasitic entity and bringing it into your field to be metabolized by you. This is the purpose of dark matter alchemy. The purpose of dark matter alchemy is to build such a strong relationship with your internal darkness that everything outside of you can be devoured. Whether it is an energy, an encounter, whatever that may be. If it's not wanted, bring it towards you and face it. Gain some internal strength. Understand your sovereignty and understand your resilience to not be disempowered by your own unconscious mind as everything that you are experiencing is an expression of it and your willingness to face it consciously is what is going to trigger genuine evolution.
So astral parasites and trickster spirits are external consciousness that are pulled in as a mirror of what is inside of you. Devour them. See them for what they are. Face them consciously and understand that it does not have a power over you unless you make it that way. Unless you want to stay in victim mode. Unless you always want to be the one who is attacked and the one who is a victim. Face your Basically, take ownership. Build a genuine relationship with your unconscious mind and with your own internal darkness. And you will not be attacked by anything because you are already invoking your internal obstacles. Willingly. So it does not have to come at you externally. This is how parasitic beings function. This is how any encounter of restriction or any external obstacle manifests within your day-to-day life. Absolutely essential to understand if you are genuinely wanting to utilize these sciences in a sustainable way.
Many who will watch this video will be rejectful of this idea. Many who watch this video will absolutely love this idea. It's up to you. Interpret this information as you want to. But ask yourself, am I going to remain in separation consciousness? Am I going to remain in victimhood where something outside of me always has a power over me and therefore that's the reality I'm creating? or am I going to actually live a reality whereby I understand by willingly invoking my own internal obstacles that's what's going to trigger genuine evolution, transmutation, and paradoxical growth. This is real evolution. This is Saturnian alchemy. As I said, absolutely essential. But I think that is everything that I needed to speak about.
