Okay, here's a war story for you - this happened in late fall 1997.
Some years ago I rejected David Morehouse's attempts to recruit me for the CIA. He was one of the Stargate remote viewers who wrote the book Psychic Warrior. He got in touch with me through an intermediary, a chief of police in northern New Jersey. This guy really put the pressure on me, telling me that Morehouse wanted to meet me because I was a well-known local psychic, and that he wanted to recruit me for his "company" which I was told was a remote viewing subcontractor that worked for corporations. (Yeah, right, like IBM is in the habit of hiring remote viewers every day. C'mon. The guy never left the CIA. You DON'T leave the CIA.)
Anyway, I was unimpressed by my conversation with this guy, who was giving me this hard sell about how I had to go to New York to meet David that weekend because he was only in town that weekend, yada yada. I was very wary about it and didn't like the energy of this guy, and I didn't really care about Morehouse one way or the other.
That evening I felt myself being scanned....probably by Morehouse and the police guy. It was extremely creepy....like black fingers being raked across my soul. I felt like I was being sized up like a piece of meat. It made me mad, because it was being done without my permission and it felt like a huge violation, spiritually, like energetic rape. That's what these guys are into.
Over the next day or so this police chief kept calling and eventually became outright abusive when I refused to meet with him. I stood in my power and called him on the dark energies that both of them were using, how I didn't appreciate being scanned like that without my permission, and how they were obviously bad news. The guy stopped calling.
A few days later a black figure appeared in my bedroom in the middle of the night....an actual physical appearance of a man dressed all in black. He hit me at that time when you are semi-lucid, and I was just able to open my eyes and see him. He came in hard and came in fast. One minute he was just suddenly there. He beamed what I can only describe as black energy into my heart from some kind of device he held in his hand. And then he left. The entire thing lasted about ten seconds.
I was immediately busy invoking all of my highest helpers -- angels, Jesus, and my spiritual posse to try to counteract what he was doing, but I had already been hit very hard.
I proceeded to go into massive chest pains - of the type that feel like an elephant is stomping on your chest - and had a very painful heart attack. My invocations saved my life, I know, because I immediately went into spiritual warrior mode and MADE THE DECISION NOT TO DIE.
I had no health insurance at that time and did not want to bankrupt my parents, who would be the ones picking up the medical bills at the hospital if I went to the emergency room. So I didn't go to the hospital. I lived alone at the time. I was 29 years old.
I did as much healing as I could on myself, but I could tell that I'd been badly injured.
I never sought a doctor's help. For the next two years I learned a lot of extremely powerful healing techniques, the kind that can protect you when somebody is trying to kill you. With the help of other healers and through my own efforts I went from experiencing almost constant debilitating chest pains to zero pain. I went from being able to work only one day a week to a full-time schedule again.
Only when I reached the point of zero pain did I visit a doctor. I finally had health insurance, so I went ahead and had them do their full battery of heart tests. I didn't tell them what had happened, of course, I just vaguely said that I'd had some heart pains and wanted to be checked out.
They did their eccocardiagrams, all their magic techie stuff.
There were zero signs of structural damage and zero effects remaining from what I had been through.
To this day, I've had no more problems with my heart. I have learned to sweep congestion and excess energy out of my heart as I learned how the heart pumps prana just as much as it pumps blood. Keep this pump flowing, and you won't have any problems, even after major damage. It can alll be repaired.
You also need to learn some defensive techniques, because there are some real bad guys out there - both military and ET - that love to zap people's hearts and try to take them out that way. It's easier than sending in a hit squad. Technology makes everything so easy for the dark ones.
Now, I mention this because as part of my healing process I learned to clear out negative entity attachments - demons, dark lodge influences coming from the military industrial complex (the CIA do curses and spells as part of their work and are very good at creating psychically induced heart attacks in people they want to take out,) discarnates, you name it. A lot of crap came in through the hole in my auric field that that black figure had created when he zapped my heart.
If I hadn't SEEN this stuff myself, witnessed firsthand all manner of negative entity crap, healed it in myself under extreme battle conditions, and later worked on this stuff with hundreds of "patients," I wouldn't be writing on this forum.
Hell, I wouldn't even be alive.
I don't know why they'd bother with a local psychic chick who had a modest clientele and wasn't really making any major "waves" in the world. But then, I always preached spiritual sovereignty to everybody I encountered, and maybe that was a problem for TPTB. I do know that most of the good psychics either end up dead or working for the government, so maybe my name just came up on the list. (By the way - stay clear of Carolyn Myss. I'm just saying.)
I just wanted to share this to let people know that I'm not a theorist. And when I talk about the existence of good and evil, I'm sharing reports from the battlefield. I have a combination of real world physical research (the real life botched attempts of the CIA to hire me, for instance) as well as in depth metaphysical experience.
Now you might also understand why I am also extremely interested in ending any ties with the military industrial complex and their subsidiary agents and people. They tried to kill me (and that was only one of the times,) and I have always fought back and healed myself or prevented the attempt in the first place.
But I want to get smarter....stop just plugging up the holes.
As part of this investigation, I became aware that this stuff was being allowed to happen because some immutable contract was in place.....somehow my soul energies were being held hostage byt nasty folks who don't deserve to have that level of control over someone. And I became devoted to putting a stop to it.
For making the posts I made yesterday, I was attacked in dreamspace this morning by a knife-wielding figure. (This happened in dreamspace; not physical space.) These encounters happen when I'm in a lucid dreaming state, so I always have "weapons" on hand to defend myself. My opponent and I engaged in close hand to hand combat with our respective knives. He was very good and managed to slice my skin open in a few places. I could feel the very real pain from these sharp knives and quickly woke myself and got out of there. Sometimes, you're not making progress in one of these attacks and it's best to leave the astral where they are attacking and wake up and return to your body.
I have some faint marks today from the places on my wrist and chest where the guy was able to slice at me.
And let's put it this way. They're not from my cats. 
So that's always interesting, when the physical confirms what happened in the astral.
There appear to be physical components (an attacker can use technology of some kind to physically appear in a room or to abduct either your physical body or etheric body.) There are metaphysical battle grounds (I fight off people and ET's in the astral pretty regularly; they usually run scared from me these days.) And there are entity attachment issues when this stuff is successful at penetrating your auric field, a hole or rupture is created, and stuff can come through and attach to you. That stuff will just linger and gather negative momentum within you, and you'll notice sudden changes to your personality, an emotional darkness that doesnt' feel like "you," a tendency to hang out with low vibrational people in low vibrational settings, a need to feed addictions - sometimes addictions you never even had before. That's all a sign of low level entity infiltration, which can get a lot worse if you don't start focusing on self-cleansing.
I've learned to be aware of multiple playing fields where this stuff gets acted out.
I've decided to share this because it's not helping anybody by my not sharing what I've learned. And I've been getting a lot of email lately from people who need to be reading this entire thread.
You know what the really sad thing is? I personally know thousands of people who are dealing with the same crap (specifically, the MILAB and astral battleground stuff.) And there is NOBODY out there teaching them anything.
When someone dares to talk about direct, firsthand experience, it's all well and good to seek some context and compare frameworks about it from an intellectual perspective.
But I have to say that my intellect has never saved my life in real battle situations. My instincts as a spiritual warrior stepping into her power as a sovereign being have. So I prefer to focus on WHAT WORKS and WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
I find that the right state of energy to assume when you need to defend yourself is LOVING ANGER.
Think of a lioness defending her cubs. She WILL NOT allow you to harm them. She will KILL YOU IF YOU TRY. Yet what she's doing is out of a fierce, unyielding, vibration of protective love.
When I use that vibration FOR MYSELF, all the boogie men go away. That's what's fascinating.
I wasn't quite able to summon up this energy 100% that night the black figure came into my room and induced the heart attack. But I was 50% there, which I believe saved my life. I at least had some resistance.
Now I have a zero tolerance policy, and I am fully unamused by the games that the negs play. At this point, I don't really care about the exact definition of which players are which, I don't want to have dinner with a reptilian and ask him questions (although I did that once. Maybe I'll write about that someday. Well, it wasn't dinner. It was a late night heart to heart chat about our respective species.)
But I think people need to sharpen their energy sensitivity so they can start discerning EVIL and stop pussyfooting around categorizing it as some intellectual things. Evil is easily discerned. Key clues are: a lack of a functional heart chakra, lack of empathy, desire to kill, abuse, or emotionally or spiritually enslave.
So just avoid these entities and people. That's all.
And invoking the contracts to sever those false agreements made by liars who do NOT have our spiritual well-being in mind is an extremely powerful and energizing act. Seems to clear out an awful lot of garbage.
Anyway, here's to more energy, vitality, and good stuff for everybody
