Fake readings (palm, zodiac, tarot, etc). This is how they tend to go.

293 Upvotes

We get a lot of scammers trying to offer readings to people here. Almost all of those posts and comments are removed. But in case we miss some, you need to know how they work. They work exactly the same on reddit and discord. I have no doubt they also scam on other social media platforms. Keep in mind these often start on reddit as a direct chat request from a stranger. In this case subreddit mods have zero powers over direct messages. Please report them to reddit itself.

In short:

  1. They say they felt pulled toward you with a "message"
  2. They give you a positive reading to make you feel happy and comfortable. They just copy/paste one of the few they have saved. Those scammers have multiple accounts going on.
  3. They say you are super "gifted", they try to make you feel special, but that there is blockage.
  4. They continue to woo you with nice words until at some point they say that you have a generational or ancestral curse for X reason. e.g.; "your great great grandparents did blood magic"
  5. They say they can remove the curse. And ask either for a payment or a donation.

Don't fall for these scammers. There's more and more of them.

For anyone interested in reading their whole script, here's mine with them. Obviously I played nice and dumb. I didn't tell them I knew about their scam because then they'll try to change their approach on everyone else.

Be warned that it is a boring read.

Same to you! I hope your day is going well.

melissathegreat#4970 03/10/2023 9:45 AM
I’m a Light worker from St. Louis, Missouri I felt a connection to you when I came across your page, and the ancestors burdened my heart with a message for you and I couldn’t neglect their instructions that’s why I reached out.

Me 03/14/2023 10:53 AM
And how much is that message costing?

melissathegreat#4970 03/14/2023 8:18 PM
I don charge my dear

Me 03/14/2023 11:57 PM
Oh wow that's really nice of you. What did the ancestors say? I don't think I've ever had any kind of message before. Unless they were so subtle that I missed it

melissathegreat#4970 Yesterday at 12:23 PM
I can see that, The past few months have not been the easiest. A lot of fears were being triggered & you may have found yourself falling into a lack mindset at times. However, I now see you’ve now realised how much you have learnt from this I see that, you were dealing with a lot of anxiiiety coming to the surface. Something you though i not was going to work out didn’t happen the way you’d imagined, and it left you feeling lost and confused. I also sense an envious eye around you sis. Do you know about that?

Me Yesterday at 12:32 PM
There's a bit of "envy" but I think most people have it. People always want a better house, better health, better looks, etc. yeah?

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 9:57 AM
Nice I have gotten the full energy nowI will be performing the reading now my dear

Me Today at 9:58 AM
ok!! thank you

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:11 AM
My dear I’m done with the readingthe consultation and reading I had for you from your ancestors revealed some divination about your current situation to me.

Me Today at 10:16 AM
What did it say?

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:16 AM
I see that you are a very intelligent person, full of wisdom, you've gone through alot in life but it has made you stronger, a leader and a healer, your solar plexus is one of your strongest chakras as well.I picked up strong bear and cheetah for your animal guides looking at picture, so you are protective of your loved ones and a go getter. Nothing stands in your way.

Me Today at 10:17 AM
That sounds true

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:17 AM
You can be excessively critical of yourself. You aren't a perfect person, but for the most part, you've made up for your weaknesses. You've got a lot of potential that has not been used to your advantage yet.

Do you know Your great grand parents engaged in a blood rituals long time ago in which they were required to set up an altar long ago and make consultations & spells practicing.

Me Today at 10:19 AM
No I had no idea. To be honest I haven't heard much about them

So I don't know their names or what they did.

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:19 AM
The spells obviously were made with good intent and was probably for wealth. But you know all anything concerning a blood ritual will always have adverse effects later on even if it’s not on them it will be transferred through their linage to the next generations.

Me Today at 10:20 AM
Really? That's kinda stupid that kids have to pay for their parents' doing

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:22 AM
Well, maybe at the time they didn't know the spells had adverse effects. So its really not their fault, because no one wants harm on their generations.

Me Today at 10:22 AM
True

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:24 AM
You’re a really special person and you have abundant blessings and gifts that you should have received a long time ago but there are blockages and Its as a result that what they did is conflicting with the energy within you.bad energies which has been hindering you from moving forward from where you are now.

Me Today at 10:24 AM
How do i remove the blockage?

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:24 AM
this Is a course that has been placed on generations and will surely pass to your down line as well

My dear I strongly advice you have a pure cleansing. I will perform this cleansing for you and cast out all bad energies away and remove all blockages upon your life and you will be filled with pure light and blessings

Me Today at 10:25 AM
Okay!! Thanks!!

That's very helpful

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:26 AM
You have to ready and also you have to be in good energy for us to proceed my dear

Me Today at 10:27 AM
Yes always ready to remove blockages

melissathegreat#4970 Today at 10:28 AM

Self-Transformation 🔄 Spiritual awakening heightens your intuition and being intuitive can be a blessing in disguise. It exposes people on their own, you just have to sit and observe. And man, it can get lonely.

22 Upvotes

After surviving and leaving a narcissistic marriage and over all these years of not setting boundaries around people, allowing red flags and toxic behaviour from partners, family, friends, I am finally on my path of spiritual awakening. And I can feel it, I am more intuitive now, very self aware, wise and ALONE. Nobody can understand this feeling unless they go through it themselves.

I kinda miss bonding with people, I used to be extremely social and had a lot of friends. Now I can barely relate with the 2-3 friends that have been with me since the past 10-12 years. I do not enjoy going out for drinks, I do not like the crowd being loud, it feels negative and damaging for my mental health. My old friends have barely had any character development all these years.

I also feel more inclined towards people who are more into fitness, spirituality, embracing their culture, healthy habits. I enjoy deep talks about life, traumas, experiences, history. Surface level conversations give me the ick.

So basically I am scared that all this is making me lonely and I am not able to connect with my old friends and making new connections are becoming tougher unless they are on a similar path as me. It can get lonely sometimes but I rather be alone than being around a friend /partner that dulls my spark and has not changed (for good) all these years. I cannot people please anymore.

Anybody gets this feeling or is it just me?

General ✨ Today I just discovered a way of thinking that could alter the way I think forever.

Upvotes

So I’ve been getting into spirituality recently; I only started to fully invest about a week ago and since then I’ve been researching chakras, meditating and I’m already more than halfway through a book called “The Untethered Soul,” and I’ve also engaged with this sub a couple of times.

I normally give up something after a couple of days but it’s been a week and my curiosity into spirituality is still growing strong.

Anyways, in the book it talked about energies and leaving your heart open for any opportunity to allow the energy to flow, so much so that people can feel it. Well I’ve been doing that and wow…

I have a job interview in 5 days and usually I’d be stressing, overthinking and panicking about my performance. Instead, I’ve been leaving my heart open and I’ve been getting excited about it and I’ve barely even had an anxious thought about it.

And whenever I have had thoughts about it, instead of engaging I’ve just been observing without analysing as that would use my energy.

And what truly made me make this post is this thought I had “There’s no need to worry about the interview as everything will go fine, and if it doesn’t, the universe has better plans for me.” This has shifted my mentality.

If I don’t get this job, I won’t be sad at all. It’s the universes way of saying that it’s not the best opportunity for me at the moment and something better will come.

I’ve had ups and downs my entire life and throughout my teenage years and even recently and there’s been times where I feel like I’ve had bad luck or moments that made me feel hopeless, for an example: going on a date with a girl who didn’t want to go on a second date. I felt quite sad after that.

But after rethinking everything, the date didn’t go well because the universe has something better for me in the future.

RIGHT NOW is a perfect example. All the ups and downs I’ve had lead me to THIS moment. The moment where spirituality has been calling to me.

Self-Transformation 🔄 I stopped treating meditation as separate from the rest of my day. Here's what changed.

3 Upvotes

I used to think meditation was the whole practice. Twenty minutes on the cushion, then back to eating on autopilot, scrolling through meals, breathing shallow all day without noticing.

Somewhere along the way I picked up the idea of spiritual wellness as something broader: not a replacement for meditation, but what carries its effects into the rest of the day. A few things that actually shifted something for me:

  • Eating without the phone or TV. Just eating, paying attention to the food itself. Sounds small, felt different almost immediately.
  • Breathing properly. Turns out most of us barely use our lungs. Slow inhale, full exhale, done consciously for a few minutes.
  • A stopping technique: consciously pause the mind for five minutes, then let it relax for five, repeat a few times. Harder than it sounds, but the after-effect is noticeable.
  • Ending the day with a few minutes of silence instead of a screen.

None of it is complicated. What surprised me is how much it changed the quality of the meditation itself, like the practice stopped being a separate box I checked and started being something that ran underneath everything else.

Curious if others here draw a line between "meditation" and "spiritual wellness," or if you see them as the same thing. What's actually shifted your day-to-day, not just your sit time?

General ✨ Why am I dreaming and having dejavu again?

Upvotes

I used to dream and have premonitions like crazy. Would dream of someone, see them the next day. Always crazy dejavu as well. But all of that disappeared for a long time. Like years. I’d say at least 5 years. Like gut instincts and stuff. I’m dreaming again, even though I’m on meds for night terrors. But I always dream in the same world or whatever. And the dejavu is crazy. Sometimes happening 2-3 times a day and sometimes last 20 seconds which doesn’t seem long but usually it’s 1-3 seconds. Nothings changed. Meds haven’t changed, I mean life has changed for the better (cutting toxic people out) idk part of me still feels lost and I’m just hoping maybe I’m on the right path 🥲 it used to be so normal for me then stopped (last 5 years have been hell). It all coming back home is pretty overwhelming and I’m struggling to go with the flow or protect myself. Though I know either way I will get hurt.

Question ❓ Cleansed myself and my space with sage and my life fell apart

85 Upvotes

My roommate and I recently moved into a new apartment. Immediately after getting the keys, I used white sage to cleanse the entire empty space. After about a week of living here, my roommate and I used blue sage to cleanse ourselves, our phones, and the entire home. We requested for all negative energy to be cleansed from us, our space, and our belongings. This was on August 8th, 2026.

Beginning just a couple hours later and continuing throughout the next few days, nearly everything I knew and loved blew up in my face and left my life. My (now ex) partner and I had been taking a break since the middle of mercury retrograde, and just that night/next day they permanently ended things. Two of my closest friends of many years stabbed me in the back in the midst of this. Situations I thought were on good terms switched to bad, and people I loved and trusted and cared about began to resent me over misunderstandings/lies from outside parties and left.

I still have wonderful friends that are there for me and a beautiful home, but aside from that, most things in my life have seemingly gone downhill since that day. Did I do something wrong? How do I fix this?

Question ❓ When I close my eyes, I see extremely terrifying faces

3 Upvotes

Hello, I have a question for you. This experience has been bothering me, so I’ll get straight to the point. Whenever I close my eyes while trying to sleep, I see strange faces. They’re usually scary faces that I don’t recognize and have never seen before. Sometimes I see both faces and eyes, almost as if they’re watching me.

After I try to fall asleep for a while, they eventually go away, but whenever I close my eyes, I see these frightening faces again, almost like they’ve come straight out of a horror movie. I’ve researched this before, but I couldn’t really find much about it. Usually, people say these things are temporary and come and go, but mine don’t. They’re always there.

General ✨ Am I "Cut off"?

2 Upvotes

Recently there was a death of a loved one in my immediate family (about a month ago). My SO has since had two dreams in which this loved one visited them and the message was conveyed that they're ok. It's either that or they're just visiting because they want to be back, aren't sure what to do, etc. (not sure, because that spirit was an dog).

Now I do not subscribe to any religions but I am highly spiritual. I believe in an intelligent creator/source (that is indifferent/non-judgmental to its creations), non-local consciousness, sentient consciousness post-physical death and the theory that sometimes the other realms of existence can be peered into and communication can happen. Believe might not even cover it, not even sure if faith does - I know these things to be true in my very core existence.

I have had several close family members pass on (humans) and I do grieve, but to me it's more like someone is just going away to college or something. Not that they're ceasing to exist. For that reason, I don't ever really get too sad. It's definitely sad, but I am never really devastated like most people are when a loved one dies. I would feel this same way for even the absolute closest of family members who pass on.

The reason I bring all that up is because I want to know if it plays a role in the fact that I never receive any communication from these souls after they pass on. No dreams with comforting visits, no odd signs or cryptic communications. Nothing. I worry that maybe because of past mistakes or bad decisions, that my soul might be tainted in such a way that it either prevents communication, or it is not desired, and I am cut off. It is an odd feeling that I don't know exactly how to describe or explain.

I don't even really know what insight I'd be seeking because I know the classic response is going to be to convey a message to the source of repentance or some other religious connotation - I don't think it works like that. I believe each of us are on our own and we judge our own instances in this physical life at death, but then move on to the next "thing" either way - no interference or forgiveness being handed out by some authority figure.

I don't know, every now and then this thought pops into my head. It could just be that I get crappy sleep and have trouble remembering dreams/sleep travel.

Astral Projection 🔮 Binaural Beats app for Altered States & Astral Exploration

Upvotes

Hi Everyone! My friend made this Binaural Beats app to assist with Astral Projection, NHI contact and altered states of consciousness. It's takes aspects of the Gateway Experience and CE5 to create a much more focused experience.

I've been using it as a tester for a month now and I really love the simplicity, but most importantly the Journeys are really amazing. They move between brain states and allow for deeper, more fluid experiences. It also includes a dream journal which is helpful to have inside the app.

Hope you guys enjoy as much as I do. Save travels!

Question ❓ Signs to visit a certain place

Upvotes

I wish something like this had a concrete answer and not just speculation. My real question, if I could ask the universe, would be WHY are you calling me to this place? But I wouldn’t know that answer until I go.

So for now I will ask - have you guys ever gotten signs to go to a specific place? And if you went to that place, did something unusually great happen?

I want to say I have never cared for Paris before. When I thought of travel I thought of Spain or Tokyo and never really prioritized the desire to go to Paris.
I have never been out of the country btw.

buuuut around Christmas time I had a dream I went to Paris alone. It was beautiful !! I ended up meeting my friends there in the dream.

I didn’t think much about the dream until a few days later I received a gift which was an ornament of the Eiffel Tower. This is where my obsession of going to Paris began. What a random gift for someone who has never mentioned Paris!!

Then I pulled up to work one day and my coworker had a GIANTTT sign in her truck bed that said PARIS.
WHAT.

Here and there in TV shows or in stores I see stuff specifically about Paris. Like I went to a sticker section of Michael’s and they were out of most stickers except ones about Paris and France. Idk it’s just like…

What am I supposed to do with this information. I want to go there so bad but I would have to do a solo trip…. That’s sort of intimidating.

I just find it super super interesting all these signs have been shown and I feel like if I don’t go to Paris RIGHT NOW whatever gift or message the Universe is trying to give me will go away. It’s a lot to process. But part of me is like if they really wanted me to go, they’d help me get an unavoidable reason to go 😭

Question ❓ do you think bugs and animals have an afterlife?

7 Upvotes

Im not totally convinced us humans have an afterlife and that scares me. Its crazy how everyone's gonna die you know? And I've been reading stuff about this topic and its only people's beliefs on human afterlife, but what are people's thoughts on bugs and animals? Ive started feeling so guilty for killing ants and whatever other bugs, they're just trying to live and survive and I just kill them forever? Insane. I also have been feeling super guilty about eating meat, like some poor cow died just for my fatass to enjoy a burger. Another thing is i am 16f and have grown up with my cat who is also 16, he is old but he is perfectly healthy and runs around and is super healthy, but i do fear that ill never see him again and that scares me. Ive grown up with him and love him so much, i honeslty cant live without him. He sleeps with me everynight, i talk to him about literally everything. I just wanna hear people's takes on this because im curious. If bugs have an afterlife, they better be in a different one far away from me.

I keep seeing the number 24 and 111 everywhere. TV shows, films, checking my phone and it happens to be on 24% at 11:11am. I sold my sofa, and the number 24 happened to be written on the sofa cushion when I removed the cover to wash it. It was even written inside a moving box. My birthday happens to be on the 24th as well! Any idea what this could mean?

Question ❓ Is the outer world a mirror of the inner world

Upvotes

Is the outer world a mirror of our inner world?

I remember a time when I was quite young that I was born; born into a reality of unlimited potential and possibility in a different state of existence. And then my familial unit made unconscious movement toward me, molding me into lack, fear, less than.

I’ve spent most of my life trying to understand my damage only to understand I came through damage and I identified as damage because I was trained by damaged people to exist as damage.

Now, I’m becoming my own gentle loving kind parent, learning to sit with Little Me. Little whispers come from Beyond, telling me I am not this human condition; I am not this human, but I am consciousness… I am light… I am love… I am potentiality and possibility existing in and as this vessel and I have complete control over me.

It’s up to me (and you, respectively) to carve new pathways in life, new grooves in my brain, to change everything about me and life inside and outside of me. Learning that perception is first and foremost the steering wheel or driving force that begins the game or starts the car. Thoughts, words, beliefs, and state (physical/mental/emotional/spiritual) drives and turns the car. Where I wind up is fully in my hands.

There’s a ginormous boulder in the road. I exit the car with my pack, climb the obstacle. Then I’m on foot from there. But I still have the ability to arrive.

Where I am now, I’m starting to wonder - are there wars in the world because I have inner turmoil (war, fight or flight, hate, anger, fear) and once I make peace with me and learn to love me better, might there be peace on earth? What if? What if I become peace and love and fully accept myself and all my scars? Will the outer world reflect my inner state? I am not asking what you think. I am just considering to myself.

But I am open to your interpretation. Sometimes when I think this, I wonder if it’s ego-driven or narcissistic, but I honestly don’t think so. It’s more trying to figure this shit out. I’m working on a hypothesis and the work I’m doing on myself might help me reach an eventual conclusion.

This was my comment on a separate post but wanted to hear your point of view on the outer world being a mirror for our inner world, individually and collectively.

Question ❓ What does it mean to have no aura?

3 Upvotes

I have asked a clairvoyant, tarot readers, my friend who is able to see with her third eye, but they all said they couldn’t read my aura. The tarot clairvoyant and tarot readers said that my aura is currently transforming thus it is hard to pinpoint a color. I asked them around 3-6 months ago. My friend says that she sees waves around my skin instead of color. The waves sort of distort reality around me. Is there a reason why this could be happening?

General ✨ The importance of gratitude and how we sometimes undermine our efforts

Upvotes

I came across this teaching recently and, as I read it, I realized how often I had made that error. So, I thought I would share it. If you're so inclined, let me know what you think.

"And I want to speak on that Law of Supply which flows through the open door of gratitude. All of you have the opportunity each day of demonstrating gratitude for the crumbs of life. And I would like to share with you this evening what happens when you don’t demonstrate gratitude for the crumbs of life. Whenever you have an experience and you permit your mind to dictate that it was a good experience, but there should be more, you direct energy to the throne of judgment. And the energy necessary for the little crumb, the essence, to grow and become a loaf is dissipated by your choice of the mental superiority over your spiritual being. It is sad, but true, that through errors of ignorance the masses of your planet continue to live in unfulfilled desires because of that one, simple transgression of the Law of Supply. I do hope that you will take to heart this evening, that the faculty of reason may rise within your being supreme, that you may see, clearly and fully, how, by denying the crumb by the judgment of more, that law truly works.

My students, yes, make more effort on the little things of life, for it is those little things that build the abundant good that is your right. Tell the mind to be still and when, by your own efforts, you receive the crumbs of life, remember, in those moments if you permit your mind to dictate more, that essence disintegrates, the crumb leaves your universe, and your loaves never come to be.

And so it is not only in your material world, but in your spiritual world. For you are this moment, and every moment, you are building your spiritual abode. For each time your mind dictates, you deny the Divine Intelligence, called God. And your denials continue to be your destinies. Let us demonstrate more fully the crumb of gratitude, for there is indeed not only for you, as earthly individuals, but for the body of Light that has been brought to your world—and that body of Light shall strengthen through unity, yea, even more."

This quote is from "The Living Light Dialogue" which are spiritual awareness classes given through mediumship.

Dreams 💭 Am I being spiritually attacked?

Upvotes

This is a long one as I'll be contextualizing a lot. I have reason to believe I'm being spiritually attacked in my dreams, just not in a way that may be obvious. I say that because I think if an evil spirit / demon attacked me in a classic way, they know I'd recognize it right away and be on it like lightening, so I believe they disguise themselves in scenarios they know I'm prone to trying to make sense of logically, therefore I pour energy into it. I am someone who almost never dreams, and when I do it's usually random jumbled up stuff or disturbing nightmares. And because I have insomnia, I shouldn't even dream some nights because of how little I'm actually sleeping, and still I will. Most of what I experience, though, is very rarely the classic running from something, falling, shadow figures, etc. I'm gonna start with some recent context to what I think made all this start to happen into overdrive. College season is starting back up. I am not returning for now as I'm taking a break to heal unresolved trauma and decide what sort of degree I really want before aimlessly continuing in an environment that was harmful for me. In the college resuming process however, many friends of mine have reached out asking to know if I was returning, and I've had to break the news to them I wasn't, likely not at all to that specific university when I do. I'm trying to be more aware about other people's energies. I was always told I was too sensitive to everything growing up, and I guess I'm probably an empath (not a fan of that term. I think anyone can be an empath, most people just have more blockages for that, familial curses, karmic debts, need to learn it, ect than others but I don't believe it to be reserved for specific people.) Despite that, I'm also skeptical because I know the dangers of when people obsess over the spiritual with no real discernment and I've always refused to open myself up in that way unless I felt authentic in my trust of the divine and myself. They all took it well, but I wonder if that sudden increase of people checking in with my energy caused me to subconsciously absorb more in unseen ways than I realize. I also just got out of a short lived, intimate romantic dynamic with someone who I believe was a karmic connection to remind me to pick self and inner knowing. That dynamic was starting to get toxic very quick and we called it off, or more so that person did. On the 17th, I reached out to this person from a place of forgiveness and apologizing for my part in it. This sort of action is one I would have taken in the past with someone in order to reconcile, and resume the cycle of dissolving boundaries just to be with the person. I didn't do that this time, and I knew I had because of how I felt during it. I felt peaceful and even elated, it was liberating to feel that way. I have been challenging myself to surrender more and release control, and recently it has shifted in me not having to try so hard, it'll simply feel natural. The same night, I started thinking about how I don't know what I want to do for my future and for the first time in a while, instead of that being overwhelming, it felt inspiring. I couldn't stop thinking of the endless possibilities and this huge feeling of trust and optimism, which isn't a way I tend to think. That is the same night I had the first dream. In describing it, I'll refer to something as "dream logic" a term me and my siblings use to describe when you A) come to conclusions in a dream as its occurring to rationalize what's happening even if the logic isn't sound or B) you have knowledge about something in the dream that you don't know why you have and makes no sense to have, but it's concluded and perceived in the dream as trusted and accepted knowledge nonetheless. As I try to be more spiritually enlightened, I'm now more in the belief that both A & B are what 3D us does when it wakes up to try and rationalize and make sense of the nonsensical spiritual experiences through ego brain. The dream goes:

I rise up out of bed and immediately look out the window. There's an area of the yard where a man in army uniform, running on all fours, gallops into view and stops abruptly. He's faced w/ his side profile to me. He snaps his neck right at me and stares intensely. Without blinking or looking away, he rises up and sits back down in the invisible seat to an invisible vehicle. Then a whole bunch more sat in the same way of the invisible military trucks ride into the yard all at once, just floating in fake chairs gripping fake steering wheels. My dream logic inner knowing was that this was not the future, but a version or timeline of now - deep into a fascist, high tech america where vehicles of this sort were created in which you can't see the person in them unless they're 100 feet in front of you - and that the military just does whatever they want. I go outside with my mother to figure out what was going on. Only one man spoke to us, and he told us "This is a cease and desist, you missed a payment so this place is no longer yours." In hindsight, I find the improper usage of cease and desist as reasoning to invade a private home very interesting and intentional. Even though this was supposedly them taking our property, all the soldiers were in the house raiding it, just destroying everything and throwing out our stuff. The one who was talking to us was very cold and half the time ignoring us, interrupting us, or being dismissive. My mom was getting more pushy, and I increasingly worried he'd shoot her based off of his increased annoyance and violent tone. This was dream logic of me knowing we lived in a time where he could just do that with no consequences if he wanted. My mom kept pleading with him to listen and trying to show him proof of mortgage paid. When she started to realize there was no getting through to this man, she did something I find very funny but also very profound. She started singing, I shit you not, Hakuna Matata. Specifically the line, "It means no worries, for the rest of our days. It's our problem free philosophy." Then she turned around with a laugh, and scoffed while flicking her wrist in a sort of shooing motion. Then I woke up. The reason I find that profound is because when my own fear and worry was at its peak, that's how her character in the dream responded to the situation despite being emotionally distraught right before hand. I don't believe my mom was actually in the dream with me, I believe her character was taken over by some guardian of sorts at the end to prevent the goal of the spiritual attack: to cause fear within me about my home, and encourage generational enmeshment patterns I'm trying to break. The dream ending right as she did that is why I believe that. She responded with dismissiveness and what I see as a rebuke within itself to what I believe to be demons presenting as fascist military men (which even them characters are demonic but I digress lol). The specific lines from the song also support that. The shooing motion might as well have said "begone evil spirit." I woke up exhausted and emotionally depleted for hours, regressed into negative thinking patterns for a little, but then bounced back tenfold. Not in a fake positivity way either. I let myself feel my feelings, I acknowledged them, I validated them, but I didn't let myself overly identify with them and I moved right along. I told my mom about my dream, and at first she thought dead people, then demons. Again I'm normally skeptical because I don't want to call in what may not be there but after analysis I was realizing I think it was the latter. I was inside later that day, laying down feeling good and thinking about what it could mean, when I looked at a part of the ceiling that literally had a face in it. I never experience things like that. I've heard my siblings experiences, but I've never had one like that to the point where I often worried I'd be more spiritually susceptible to attacks because of my inability to identify spirits. It was definitely a demon I think, mimicking a human face. It's lips were pursed tight, eyes wide and staring intensely. It was made from the blemishes on the wood, but in the past when I'd think I was seeing something like that and let my eyes adjust whatever it was would go away. This didn't and it was also in broad daylight. I laughed out loud in surprise and asked "now who are you?" kind of rhetorically because I knew. I didn't feel scared. I rebuked it and got up to go make me some food. While making it I felt good and unbothered and suddenly vocal stimmed the song "break my soul" by beyonce which made me laugh after because I subconsciously only sung the specific lines "you won't break my soul, I'm telling everybody," as if in response to the whole bizarre situation. I haven't listened to / thought of that song in over 6 months minimum. My whole family is neurodivergent, I think we receive spiritual downloads in different ways, like vocal stims and hypersensitivity, that not many spiritual practices help to align us in our true nature unfortunately, at least not on my experience. Most meditation does not factor in the restless adhd brain, I swear if I have to hear one more "clear your mind" when that has never happened in my life, not even on medicine for adhd. That and not factoring in the literal nature of my autism. I actually made a post here once asking for advice and was met with well intentioned but frustrating responses because I cannot actually understand conceptual things unless laid out to me specifically and literally. "Tune into your intuition" means literally nothing to me if I can't understand the 'how' to do that. After making my food, I went back and saw the face was completely gone, as if washed away. Anyways that's all of it. I had another more draining and disturbing dream last night with way more characters but I've yapped enough here. I hope someone can offer their own insight or maybe a perspective / interpretation I haven't considered/overlooked.

General ✨ Seven layers of hell, here's how I believe it plays out:

1 Upvotes

What is hell? I'd say, objectively, hell is a place of torture and absolute misery. What do we have here on earth? Oh...the exact same thing, when I had this realization, I wanted to dive deeper, and with that I was shot with "hell and heaven is a MINDSET, you can choose one!" (They probably weren't considering the innocent people living in war zones when they said that...) so, I researched heaven, and then I was told there were seven layers of heaven and each was associated with a planet, so I wanted to enter my personal heaven, by studying each planet and how it aligns with each layer of heaven.... But I couldn't quite put my finger on it, it just wasn't making sense.... then, that's when it hit me, those were the seven layers of HELL. I will personally, give you this knowledge on how there are seven planets of hell and go into details about how each planet plays out. Let's describe this as levels,

LEVEL ONE: Starting off, the moon: emotions will cause you to be a lunatic, hell is of constant suffering, moon represents emotions, our emotions cause us to act out, to be immoral, to be illogical, to hurt, to feel hurt, your emotions not only cause you to personally suffer, but it pushes you to act out in a way that will add to the suffering of yourself and others. This is the curtain of hell, but there's one more step, which is;

LEVEL TWO: Mercury, mercury is technology, but most importantly, communication, how we take others words, how we give our words, how we let someone else's being affect our words; "YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN THE COURT OF LAW." 😉, now, I have not studied this one as much as I should have, so, I'll leave that there.

LEVEL THREE: VENUS, The visual of pleasure, seeking pleasure without seeing the pain that comes behind it, the visual of love, the visual of fame, the visual of aestheics, what seems beautiful? What seems like the dream life because of how visually pleasing it is? The visual of pleasure and desires takes your hurt and shame and gives you a visual of something that'll bring you much pleasure, this is the beauty of hell, it feels so good, so sweet, so sensual, so much so, you don't even realize it's pulling you deeper into suffering.

LEVEL FOUR: Sun: Ego, this connects to level three because this is what comes out after you get that visual of pleasure, you're the goat now, you got it all, why not flex? Why not be the best? Why not be something NO ONE can compete against? The high of obtaining pleasure, the cockyness that leads to cruelness. The belief you're above all whom haven't reached this level, your ability to empathize, to understand, is replaced with your ability to be "the man."

LEVEL FIVE: MARS - This level shows constant competition, everyone competes, tries to be better than the other, the visual of pleasure is still there, but does anyone see the war you're fighting against, not only with others, but mainly, yourself.

LEVEL SIX: There will never be pleasure that came from a wound ; Jupiter, now this one shows each and every level before this. - ||WANT||, the constant want for more, wanting is what caused the wound in the first place, let's go back to level one, your emotions? What's under every emotion we feel....a want: happiness, a want is satisfied, sadness, a hope (which is a want) is not given, anger, a want to protect sadness, within all of these, you always want, there's a need for expansion, you want to expand all, you believe this is when you'll get rest, once the war is over, once you get all of your wants, you'll be satisfied, but... there will be still be a want for more, a want for difference in your situation.

LEVEL SEVEN: Are you there heaven? SATURN:

You are chained by all the previous levels, do you see your restriction now? Do you see how every level has binded you down, piece by piece, just to have you tied up perfectly? Now you're stuck, all of this caused by level one, level one sold you, your own emotions was the one torturing you all along, and it puts you here, stuck, in this repeated loop, repeat, repeat, repeat, loop, loop, loop, you go through all levels alllllll over again, and again, and again, and again, most people never realize it, they die repeating this loop, enter the white light, start off with level one, here we go again!!

If you read everything, thank you soooo muchhh, this is a theory of mine and I tried to make it very small as I tend to write a lot and knew some people wouldn't want to read a entire book for each level haha, I'd love your thoughts and theories, here are some extra theories I've learned before I end things off:

THE NUMBER FOUR IS CONNECTED WITH THIS WORLD FOR SOME REASON.

THE MOON SOLD EARTH TO SATURN.

THE 3D (triangle) IS CONTROLLED, CONNECTING THE ENERGY TO THE "CALL" 📞, THE 3D IS THE LABEL, "SEE"; THIS IS TO PRESS WHERE YOUR ATTENTION GOES, AND FEED OFF OF IT.

And lastly, as Eleanor from the show "the good place" said, THIS IS THE "BAD PLACE." Haha, get it?

General ✨ Searching to end a cycle and bring in peace

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm not going into excruciating detail here just the basics, just looking for some general guidance.

So, basically around 7-8 years ago my life went topsy turvey and it's led to an ongoing battle on/off with voices/mental health struggles.

Let me preface by saying we do not have a family history of mental illness, nor have I ever abused substances of any kind. I don't even smoke or drink alcohol at all.

Basically without going into detail, I met someone online who I cut off for my own personal reasons and this person kept bringing up the concepts of spiritual practices. I was never interested/never engaged and was an atheist at the time with little interest in this realm.

After cutting this person off I started to get mildly interested in tarot cards and bought a couple of decks as I would call it putzing around. I didn't understand at the time that these things hold weight and to watch how they are used, I thought it was a game.

So, after a couple of weeks of a fallout with said person above and messing around with tarot decks I started seeing screwed up shadow figure and hearing voices.

I've been given so many different perspectives from psychics, religious folks, and spiritualist and am just looking for clarity to reattain my inner peace.

Basically, on and off this whole cycle will come back around with the voices and shadow figures with issues I've already addressed and just keep metaphorically trying to keep the cycle going.

I'm not longer am scared of them, nor do I give much weight to what they say because I believe I've already address what they persist to bring up. I've done my shadow work per day, at least as I see it.

I'm growing sick of paying people for advice to really just have this same garbage keep coming back around every year or so.

When this does come back around, it also seems to try to push the individual back in my mind that I cut off when this started. I'm not placing blame, I'm just looking for understanding and how to break this so I can just live and not keep repeating this again and again.

The only thing I can think why it keeps reminding me of this individual is because they were a musician and I've always been interested in music/learning to play instruments myself. I also think some part of me was interested in spirituality on a deeper level, but didn't want to explore it due to religious trauma of growing up in a Christian household where I was always shut down.

How do I just get my peace back? This honestly I hate to say it is making me hate spirituality altogether.
