Dear Darxide,
I really feel for you which is why I'm posting this reply. Last year I began to have very similar experiences to yourself. It began at a festival
when I smoked some cannabis, and basically my experience was that an entitiy or entities began to move me around - literally control my body - and
they could move my head around and in so doing spell out words for me - fortunately, unlike you I never experienced any visual or auditory
hallucinations. I understand why other respondents may be skeptical of your experiences - but when the 'entities' communicating with you can tell
you things about the real world - that is, the consensual reality that everyone else experiences, I find that arguments for mere mental illness cannot
accurately describe the whole picture. The sciences simply do not have all the answers in this terrain. The entities inside me also 'told' me some
things that were going to happen - for example they said that if I went to Leeds (UK) to see my friend I'd end up in a prison cell - at the time I
though it was just metaphorical - but the next morning - sure enough, I was being interviewed in a cell in a police station after my best friend had
been arrested for jumping up and down on a car shouting 'I am nature I am nature!'. They told me where people were, and what would happen if I did
certain things. Initially I welcomed what was happening. BUt then I began to be afraid - and as soon as fear set inthe experience began to change
too. If you want to know the details you can ask me, basically in the end I went to a medical doctor and was prescribed antipsychotics (Seroquel).
However although these managed to end the panic ( as they are mood stabilisers), I have continued to experience the entities' control to a certain
extent. The ways that I can use to minimise the experience of them are as follows: Be happy - maximise stuff that keeps you, as it were, in the
light - like hanging out with your girlfriend - my boyfriend helped alot. Concentrate on feeling positive emotions towards others as well as
yourself. If I experience strong negative mood I can begin to have possession experiences again. Stay healthy in body - eat well, sleep well,
minimize any alcohol and drug consumption- get outside and play. Be gentle with yourself. Go to the doctor if it will make you feel like you are
taking a positive step forward. And last but not least focus your mind as much as is possible on the consensual reality - spend time with other people
who take you out of that spirit domain. As for religiosity - for me there is simply no doubt that there is a God - I may have started out as a firm
atheist (it's the norm to be so in Britain) but since around 4 years ago my reality began to change, and now there's no going back. However, if
prayer makes you more aware of the reality that you are trying to avoid then do not engage in it at present - but try to trust that if you ask enough
and want enough to stay in this reality then you will be guided back here. I promise you there is enough magic in this reality for all of us! YOu
don't nned whatever it is you think they might offer you. Despite still feeling on occasion that there are other entities inside me, if I ignore them
they seem to have no power, and i believe that one day it will no longer occur. I have heard that some people get lost out there - so I hope really
hope that you will be okay and can come back. All my love and good wishes and prayers if you would like them to you, from Jessica
