What is a Tulpa?

Hello to all of my readers. This week we will be talking about tulpa's. Tulpa's are a very fascinating subject because tulpa's are actual beings that originate in the mind and through beliefs and visualization can become actual realities. It's like when a group of people get together and start creating legends. For instance lets say that somebody believes in the yeti or lochness monster. I'm not saying that they won't come into reality but they are created by intense thought. Probably one of the most famous was Alexandra David Neil. She was a PhD and a scholar and she had traveled through out all of Asia. She decided that she was going to concentrate on making a little friar monk. It took her years. She made him round and he looked like a little Franciscan monk. And sure enough people began to see him. Well the problem is that he began to show evil tendencies. Now you say was she evil. No she wasn't evil but there are all kinds of strange things in our subconscious. It then took her years to get rid of him and in doing that she had a heart attack.
Sometimes a supposed haunting can actually be a tulpa's. Lets say that the people that move into my house after I move out say "Gee that place was haunted". Then somebody else comes along and says the place was haunted. Then somebody else comes in and says the house is haunted by the spirit of Heather. Then it becomes an urban legend. The first thing is that they created a manifestation of me. It is not me cause I would be over on the other side, hopefully having a great time.
Another story that is so fascinating was in England and there was a group of people that met every Wednesday night and they actually started saying that they were going to create what they called an imaginary man. they gave him a name, let's call him George Smith. They gave him a birth date, a family, an occupation. They gave him looks and even had him walk with a cane. Pretty soon after about 5-10 years they began to hear rapping's. Now this was a tulpa that was created.
When you hear about certain things in nature like unicorns and fairies and other things like that was  thought about it becomes a tulpa. We don't have unicorns and fairies and other crazy stuff running around on this level. It is nothing more than thoughts and images. We have some people who have faries and gnomes dancing around them. they don't come up on this level but is is amazing to note that these energy forces can become a reality. Let's take the Lockness Monster for instance. They have sounded that lock for years. They put up all kinds of cameras and they haven't found anything. Maybe someday Nessie will show up. Only because so many people believe in it. Remember you don't realize just how much you can create with the power of the mind.
If we can create something like that whats to say we can't create blessings in our own life. A beautiful tulpa of happiness, joy or an energy tulpa of health. A tulpa can be anything the mind creates. So instead of walking around with all this goofy stuff like unicorns and angels running around talking to ya. Why don't we start putting our energy into the reality of today's world. Sure we have angels, guides, and deceased loved ones looking out for us and protecting us. We can get too nuts with all this other stuff. Pretty soon we will all start wearing pyramid hats and getting really silly. We need to create tulpas to help ourselves. We don't need some snake looking thing or a horse with a horn on its head. What is that going to do for you except stick a hole in your wall. Make a tulpa to make your life better and create goodness around us.

Next week I will be talking about the do's and don't's when going on a ghost hunt. Have a great week everybody.

How to spiritualy prepare for a ghost hunt.

Hello everyone,
Today I would like to answer my friends question how to protect yourself during a ghost hunt. I would like to say that there are some very real dangers that can go on during and even after a ghost hunt. You have to be prepared mentally, physically, and spiritually. Ghosts can sense fear and sometimes they like it especially if they want you out of a certain location. They can also become attached to you and follow you home. You don't want to come back from a ghost hunt and go to bed just to wake up and find one standing at your bedside.
You can protect yourself by saying a prayer before you even set foot on the property. I have found this method very helpful. Remember we are going into a world that we know very little about. It is also a wise to eat something before you go on an investigation. Ghosts do indeed feed on our energy. This will keep your energy up and you won't feel drained.
There are two main areas of concern that we are faced with and those are ghost attachments and ghost attacks. Ghost can attack us if they feel threatened. They can push, slap or trip people. hey can also make us physically ill. It happened to me in Gettysburg, PA. Me and some members of my team were in a small forest clearing across the street from our bed and breakfast. It was 11:30 p.m. and we wanted to do some investigating. We were over there taking photos and trying to get readings with out equipment. After awhile of not getting anything we decided to pack it up and try again the next night. As I was winding up the cord to my EMF meter I got a sharp pain in my stomach. It was so bad I almost fell over. I looked up and saw a shadow figure. It was very tall  and it slowly came closer and closer. The other team members didn't see it but one of them took a picture right where I was pointing. I grabbed all of our stuff and got out as fast as I could. Once I got out of there the pain went away just as fast as it came. I must note here that the team member that took the picture put her memory card in her computer at home and she found the photo that she took. In the picture there was a huge orb with a man's face in it. I would have put the picture on here but it disappeared.
I would like to talk about the second and most dangerous and those are ghost attachments. Ghost attachments are worse for the simple fact that they can last longer. Ghosts can become attached to us because they feed off of  our life energy. There are some effects of this type of attack that we need to be aware of. They are as follows: hearing voices, seeing the ghost, unexplained depression, illness with an unknown cause, loss of energy, migraine headaches, or nightmare and insomnia. These symptoms may also be explained by ordinary medical science. f you have these symptoms see a doctor before you blame it on ghost attachment. if they continue and have no medical explanation then you have a ghost attachment.
The way that you can protect yourself from a ghost attachment is simple. Whenever you are getting ready to leave a haunted location thank the ghosts for their presence and say to them please don't follow me home. It is simple but it works.
Thank you all for reading. I hope it was informative and helpful. Next week I will be writing about Tulpas.

The different types of hauntings.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to take a second and thank all of you for reading and continued support. Are you ready for another glimpse into the world of the paranormal?
Today I would like to examine the different types of hauntings that you can encounter. I have listed them in no particular order along with a definition of each type.

1. Residual haunting - A residual haunting happens when something traumatic or stressful occurs. The negative energy is blasted into the atmosphere. This causes the atmosphere to imprint or record the particular event. The way this haunting is experienced is almost like a tape that will play the events over and over again. The living cannot interact with this type of a haunting. Its almost like a memory trapped in time. Also I would like to note that it doesn't always have to be a negative memory. Sometimes good memories are recorded into the atmosphere. We have all heard a ghost story or two that involve the living hearing mysterious sounds of a party going on. Sounds of laughter and merriment are heard in the house even if you are alone.
2. Poltergeist activity - Poltergeist activity is usually caused by an adolescent teenager more commonly girls. This happens when they go through the puberty stages. During this stage of adolescents a young girl can have an extreme amount of bottled up energy. This energy can be projected by the mind, which can cause tapping sounds, movement of objects, lights flickering off and on, and some other strange occurrences. 90% of poltergeist activity stems from a human being.
3. Demonic hauntings -  These types of hauntings can happen in different ways. Sometimes it can be seen as a black mist or black fog. People who experience this type of haunting claim to be followed by this black fog or mist. There is another type of demonic haunting that is also common and that is an incubus ( male demon) or succubus ( female demon). These demons have forced sexual encounters with the living. People who have experienced this feel a large amount of weight on top of them as they are just waking up. These cases are very rare but if anyone needs protection from this kind of attack contact your clergymen or a skilled demonoligist. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT UPON YOUSELF TO GET RID OF IT. If you do this you can make things worse for yourself and those around you.
4. Intelligent hauntings -  Intelligent hauntings are when the ghost or spirit can interact with you. They can touch you, talk to you, and even send smells to you. For example when I stayed in Lizzie Bordens house we had a medium driven seance. During the experience the medium asked Abby Borden to send us a whiff of her lavender perfume and within a few seconds we all smelled it.
5. Shadow people activity - Shadow people are to me kind of in their own group. There origins are unknown even to the parapsycoligical community. The shadow person is seen using our parifferal vision. They have no facial features and wear no clothes. They can do things that a lot of ghosts can't do for example walk through walls. Clarovoyants that see shadow people don't consider them human and can fil you with dread.

Well my friends that ends the topic for this week. I recently had been asked a question by a very good friend of mine. She wants to know how to protect yourself when you go to a haunted location or are just faced with a dark enity. Next Friday I well answer that question for her and all of you out there in bloggerland.
Have a great week everyone!

What is a ghost?

Hi everyone out there in blogger land. I would like to answer one of the questions that people often ask me. That question is: What is a ghost? A ghost is created when a person dies and and they reject the idea of making the transition to the other side. This can happen for a few reasons. One is simply that they reject the tunnel and turn away out of love for land, home or anything else that they have invested time in. They might have a lot of unfinished business here on earth. They can also remain earth bound because of the way that they died. If it was very tramatic or if they died quickly. For example the ghosts of Gettysburg, PA. The ghosts of the men who died during that battle still think that the war is still going on and they continue to fight. Another reason they remain earthbound is of a common delusion that all ghost share. They have no idea that they're dead.
Just imagine this scenario. You get up one morning and a family of strangers walks right into your home and start unpacking their things. You start yelling and demand to know what they are doing there and threaten to call the cops if they don't leave immediately. My view point is that they deserve more love and compassion than fear. A good tip is when you go to a haunted location and you do an E.V.P. ( Electrictronic voice phenomenon) session do not ask the ghost questions like did you die here. This could give them quite a shock and they probably will either get defensive or not even talk to you. Be careful what you say to them because you could be in their shoes one day.
I want to explain the difference between a ghost and a spirit. You now know that a ghost is classified as an earthbound entity. Spirits are a little bit different  A spirit is someone who made the transition to the other side. Spirits also have no signs of any injuries on them. When they appear they look healthy and happy. While ghosts on the other hand will have visible injuries that resulted in their death.
Thank you very much for reading. Next week I will explain the different types of hauntings.
Have a great week everyone.
