Your Dark Passenger

Hey, dark passengers.  Guess who didn’t fall off the world?  Well…I’m guessing that would probably be most of us since gravity seems to be functioning properly, but the answer I was going for was me. Anyway.  Your Dark Passenger returns with a look at how psychic clutter can do more damage than the actual clutter taking up space in your home.

I think most of us can recognize the negative self-talk going on within our heads for what it really is - mental clutter - but what about some of the less obvious by-products of our day?  Do we recognize those as the potentially damaging weapons against our psyche that they really are?  Worse still, are most of us even capable of understanding how commonplace items can affect us on the spirit- or astral-levels?

To give you a bit of background, I’ve been reading a book on psychic self-defense - sadly, that I will not be recommending to you, not because of faulty information provided because the techniques in the first few chapters are really top notch, but instead because of the fact the authors seem incapable of writing like normal people.  I mean, sure, yeah, anything dealing with the metaphysical or paranormal or psychics seems to be handled with a sense of woo-wooness, but if you’re talking about a subject you deem to be serious then why handicap yourself by sounding like some nut-job named Mystica Moonbeam Goddess Earthfluff who lives in a house built entirely out of crystals?

*climbs off soapbox*

What I was reading about tonight is their views on how to protect yourself from a psychic attack and how someone might have been able to open that psychic superhighway between you.  I think it’s fairly obvious how that might occur if the attacker is local or someone with whom you work, but what if they’re far away or perhaps even only an internet acquaintance?  How could someone you’ve never actually spoken to or met in person manage that kind of feat?

Honestly, it’s easier than you might think…

Consider how much information we seem to freely give away online to people we don’t know yet consider friends?  They might get your address so they can send you this or they might have your date of birth because it was required information to provide online.  Maybe they’ve become a confidant of sorts and, thus, know your greatest fears or the source of your most intense pain or guilt.  Regardless, they’ve go their in.

Now, in the realm of psychic attacks by someone in close proximity they may open up the channel between you with an object that they’ve psychically charged in advance.  If you won’t accept a gift from them then you may find something has been slipped into your pocket or purse.  From hundreds - or even thousands - of miles away, this can be a more daunting task.

But not impossible.

Let me share a brief story with you about how this has worked in my own life.  Because of my corporate background, I tend to hang onto e-mails for years because the concept of electronic retention periods is ingrained in my psyche.  Rather than let my inbox be a disaster zone, I create folders for people and move all correspondence to the appropriate folder.  Then I forget about it unless I need it for some reason.  (Which seriously, except for work-product from my writing, I’m not going to need anything else.  When am I ever going to need random crap conversations I had with people who hold no meaning in my life?)

Fast-forward 4 or 5 years - the length of time I’ve had my primary e-mail address.  Remember that I’m a power user with my e-mail.  Now go ahead and imagine how many conversation folders filled with however many messages I must have had accumulating in my sidebar.

Yep…thousands of little “gifts” from virtual strangers that I saw each and every day.  Even if I didn’t actively notice them, I’m sure my subconscious must have.  As I remained unaware of anything other than the fact that I’ve won yet another foreign lottery I didn’t enter or my life will be greatly improved once I buy some magic pills to enhance a part of my anatomy that doesn’t exist, my spirit self must have been bogged down with an onslaught of feelings to which I remained blissfully unaware.  Maybe the folder catching the attention was on of an old friend with whom I haven’t spoken in years, causing feelings of regret.  Maybe it was one of a person who was once an agent of pain and low vibrations in my life…bringing up old feelings of hurt.

Or maybe the only feelings any of the folders dredged up was that I really keep too much junk!

When it comes to psychic clutter, there’s one main thing to keep in mind.  Things you take for granted or see without really seeing each day might be the cause of some of those feelings that seem so out of place in your life.  No one out there can be aware of each minute detail in their life, but a good practice is to take stock of your surroundings as each season changes and you begin to clean out all of the physical clutter around you.  Who knows?  Your higher self just might thank you for it.

For my part, I know I deleted a few thousand e-mails that’ve accumulated from over the last 3 years or so and I already feel lighter.  Let me know how it works out for you if you decide to clear out any of your own psychic clutter.
