Needless to say, I am NOT of the view that all spiritual beliefs are valid; not all are created equal. Are your beliefs causing you pain? Limiting your freedom? Making you want to
limit the freedom of others? Guilting or manipulating you into giving your personal power and
energy away to an outside source? Then why do you hold them? A belief is something
that remains unproven by definition — so why hold beliefs that aren’t helping you evolve?
Such beliefs are vulnerabilities that can easily be taken advantage of for the purpose of
negative interference. I am of the view that if a belief is beneficial, it probably stands a better chance of being closer to the truth than one that has no demonstrable basis in reality. Speaking of reality…

You Create Your Own Reality

Most people reading this will be familiar with the concept that we create our own reality. Unfortunately many have taken this as far as “if I don’t believe in it, it can’t hurt me.” This is the spiritual equivalent to the ostrich that sticks its head in the sand and expects the problem to go away.

It is true that not giving attention and energy to a problem is ONE way to diminish that problem’s influence over you IF the problem is being CAUSED or contributed to by your attention and energy. If it has another cause, then you’re just turning your back on a threat and giving it all the permission it needs to have its way with you. Your conscious participation in their game is only one of the vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious entities; there are many others. Spiritual naivety is one of them.

External Saviors

The belief in external saviors — something outside ourselves, whether human, divine or cosmic, that will swoop in and fix the problem, is another one that should be reconsidered. Spiritual assistance is a perfectly valid concept, but in the end nobody is here to live your life, learn your lessons or overcome your challenges but YOU. The best spiritual helpers and teachers point you toward the answers and the source of power within yourself. There may be the occasional boost during a rough period, or nudge in the right direction when we’re stumped for an answer, but they aren’t going to do it for you. Anything that claims to carry you only wants to control you. It is for this reason that I say negative entities and many churches and religious groups are only adversaries in the sense that they’re competing with each other for YOUR resources. As a rule, anyone that wants you to become subservient and give your power away to something outside yourself is going to make you an easier target. Notable exceptions would be groups that encourage you to find your own truth, reach your potential and foster a mutually uplifting experience.

Spiritual Warfare

The belief in “spiritual warfare” is another common pitfall. So you’ve awakened to the point where you realize there really is something to this crazy spiritual stuff after all — and you’ve recognized it’s not all love ‘n light out there. This is all good, but at this point some people take it upon themselves to strap on the proverbial armor and run out to battle evil. The problem is that negative entities are like the Hydra — you cut off one head and several more grow in its place. To kill it you would have to get in a good body shot — and in that case you’re looking straight into the shadow side of the creator itself. Good luck with that; be sure and let me know how it turns out.

If you went scuba diving and got attacked by a shark, would you hate the shark, and go forth to declare war on all of sharkdom? Probably not — technically you entered its home and it was just doing what sharks do. It’s a risk you take when you swim in the ocean, and negative interference is a risk we take when we incarnate on earth. Given the choice to fight or just avoid the situation entirely, the second option is a lot easier on you in the long run. Being in a constant war with this stuff can easily consume your whole life and cause you to become like that which you’re fighting against if you let it. If you define part of your identity as being against something, like negs, then you will keep attracting negs! This is one instance where we DO have a say in creating our reality. One of my biggest breakthroughs in drastically diminishing my neg problem was switching my focus, from coming up with better defenses (i.e. putting myself in a defensive position) to simply wanting to feel good.

Don’t get me wrong — I resonate strongly with the warrior archetype, and have a great appreciation for it. But to me this means that if something enters MY space uninvited, or I am asked for assistance by someone in a similar situation, I have the ability, and authority, to remove it with as much force as necessary. It does not mean I have the authority to invade the space of other beings — even negative ones. If you essentially go into their home territory looking for a fight, don’t be surprised if waves of them start showing up in yours. If you go out looking for a war you’ll find one, and ultimately there will be no winners. There’s a lot of truth in the quote from the movie War Games that the only winning move is not to play. Instead letting yourself get dragged onto a battlefield of never-ending struggle and playing by the dark’s rules – start playing by your own rules, and leave their game behind.

The next post in the series will address how and why our emotional imbalances and subconscious baggage can leave us open to negative interference.
