Understanding the Underworld

I am writing this to clarify what the Underworld is in my experience.  If you have other ideas feel free to comment, remember to always be respectful.

Renee LeBeau: The Underworld is a place of unconsciousness, dis-associated and fragmented aspects of self. It is used to mean many other things especially through a religious context. 

There are many visions of the Underworld that are available through every major religion and culture. Called by many names, Sheol, Hell, Inferno, Hades, Xibalba, just to name a few, the Underworld is part of the human collective unconscious. Its descriptions range from a burning land of torture to an alternate reality for the dead where both rewards and punishment are meted out. For many the Underworld is simply the farthest one can be from God, home to demons and the soulless.

The Underworld is a place of the unconscious. It is a place where we store the darker, less acceptable pieces of our Selves. Who or What labels us ‘dark’ or ‘unacceptable’? Society tells us what masks to wear and how to act to be accepted. Family members, lovers, people in authority may label versions of us ‘unworthy’ during our lifetimes. These parts of our Selves we push away and deny and ultimately condemn to the Underworld.

The Underworld in my experience is also a place which exists in another dimension. I dare say it is a dimension of its own. There are portals where this dimension bleeds through to our own, some of these portals are fixed, a few are manually created and opened for a period of time, while others fluctuate. These are portals to our reality, our dimension. These portals allow us to energetically enter the Underworld and conversely allow the dwellers of the Underworld to cross over to our dimension. We know them as demons primarily. Their ability to manifest [or become visible, or effect physical objects] is dependent upon their inherent power, proximity to the portal and the sustenance they can find.

Are you ready to experience JOY?

Completing the Circle with Geralyn St. Joseph

 Completing the Circle is presented as a six week course. It takes time to set patterns in our lives. It takes hard work and a great deal of honesty to change them. First and foremost you MUST be honest with yourself. We tend to lie to ourselves more than to any other person.

To come to a place of self-empowerment first we must know the self. Since that entails a process, I will limit the talk to a general overview and focus on one aspect only.

To get to know yourself, first you have to listen. Listen to your self-talk. Not all those voices in your head belong to you. Once you can discern where they are coming from, you can develop your own voice. You may want to start a journal. This allows you to chart your progress in a concrete way as you see your thought patterns change.

Take note of your physical responses to different subjects and situations – What are you reactive to? This could mean anything from an anxiety attack to a deep sigh to a big smile. Why are you reactive to that particular stimulus? What memory, emotion or energy cord is attached?

Whether it is simple to figure these things out or not, we can begin the healing process by using a technique called pulling or cutting cords. Every person we deal with, every situation that affects us develops an energy cord to us. This can be draining or reciprocal. In pulling cords we stop the energy drain. 

Learn to meditate so that you can effectively tap into your higher self, and the source. Mediation will also help a great deal on the physical level – teaching your body to relax. Once you’ve mastered this – you can relax your body on demand – regardless of the situation. That in itself is a powerful tool.

Think about and define your Faith, values and desires. All this helps you know who you are. Knowing who you are gives you the freedom to change it and the freedom to connect with the source and with others without fear.

Most of the things I’ve mentioned are cognitive things. The focus of finding the self and cleaning it up, fixing it, is to discover Joy. I believe Joy is our reconnection to Spirit and the world around us.

To truly experience Joy on a regular and lasting basis we need to become responsible for whom we are. There are many ways to do that. The path we choose to follow is not the key thing, the responsibility is the key.

There was this Ventriloquist who was out of work. So he goes to his agent and asks him what he needs to do. The agent says that he’s really sorry but ventriloquists are out this year, but mediums are big. He tells the ventriloquist to hang a shingle out as a medium. So he does.

Within the hour a woman comes in and asks to speak with her dead husband, how much would that be? He points to the sign behind him. Which has 3 prices. He says for $25 you get to talk to your dead husband. For $50 he can talk back to you. And for $75 He can talk to you while I’m drinking a glass of water.

We insist on carrying old patterns into new situations. We need to remember that everything is a choice whether sub-conscious or conscious. The universe consistently creates that which we give our energy to. If we obsess about being fat, we will be fat. If we worry about lack, we manifest it. We need to remain awake to be aware of our thoughts. Our thoughts reflect our true intentions and remember the universe creates our true intentions in perfect form.

Einstein said that true insanity lies in repeating the same action, while expecting a different result.

Can you think of situations in which you do that? & then defend you actions! Fight for your limitations and they shall be yours. Excuses are the nails that build the houses of failure.

When people say it is all perfect, because we are all made in God’s image, everything is perfect. Whether they are aware or enlightened to the fact or not, they do not mean ‘true perfection’ as most of us relate to perfection, as in without flaw. They are referring to the universe creating our wishes or thoughts and sometimes even fears in perfect form. Which is a world away from saying that this world is perfect in a Garden of Eden kind of way.

With all this in mind, what then, do we need to create a better environment? To become healthy, wealthy and wise?

We not only need to change our behavior and outward appearances, we need to be aware and accountable for our thoughts. We need to listen to our self-talk and make sure it’s positive.

Blessings!

What is an Exorcism?

In my vocabulary I use the term exorcism only when removing a demon from a person or location. I call it a clearing when dealing with ghosts and other energies. A demon is an entity that has never been human and feeds on emotions such as fear and anxiety.

In my experience you do not have to believe in demons to suffer a possession. Some of the things that make people susceptible are: physical trauma, any type of abuse that alters a persons perception of self, drinking, smoking and drug ingestion of any kind that alters one's energy and/or thought processes. I have also seen possession due to a karmic agreement by the person or a parent. Everyone is susceptible to a certain extent - know anyone who undergoes a drastic personality change when they drink? Then can't remember their actions right away? It's more a matter of knowing your own Self and acknowledging when something isn't right. Quickly recognizing a stray emotion or negative thought gives you the power to refute it.

I find that people who engage in the type of religions that teach a lack of self worth are feeding grounds for these negative entities. The Bible [Jesus specifically] preaches to love ourselves, so any church telling us how wicked and undeserving we are directly opposes the gospel. Letter of Paul to the Romans is full of warnings against such preaching pretending to be from God. Especially Romans 16: 17. I'm not going too far into that. I have a Bible Study on Blog Talk Radio you can refer to if you are interested. Demons are not church specific or faith specific, however they will manifest in a way particular to the victim. Be strong in who you are, your faith and be joyful - demons hate that!

Blessings! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/geralynstjoseph

Where do you suggest an individual go if they are looking for someone to perform an exorcism? Do most exorcisms require more than one person?

I would recommend finding someone who makes you feel deeply at peace when you speak to them. They should also try to rule out mental illness or other causes for your woes.

I was raised Catholic and I know that Catholic exorcisms are rarely performed. And honestly, a full blown exorcism is seldom needed.

How many people participate depends on the situation. I have done them alone with the subject or have had the family who is effected involved at other times. The key is that if it is a person who is infected, they need to truly want to be cleared and the must have faith that God will deliver them. Sometimes this is accomplished in the course of the work.

Some take weeks where others take only an hour. Every situation is different.

Make sure whoever you hire is compassionate and not just flaming your fear to make as much money from you as possible.

They should know what to do with the entity once they remove it so it doesn't come back. They should instruct the subject to fortify their connection with God and their protection to ensure against a relapse. Family members and those close to the subject should also be protected during and after the ritual.

Why am I feeling like this?!? Navigating 2013 Blog Talk Radio

Are you feeling upset? Angry? Anxious? Maybe a little crazy?
You're probably not crazy, just experiencing what so many people are...the shift. There has been so much talk lately of 2012 and the end times. What does it mean? What does it mean for us as individuals?
As many move forward in fear and anxiety, you can change your perspective and move forward in hope. Understand what's happening to you and the world around you.
You can go with the flow of the Universe or you can struggle against it. It's your choice.
Knowledge and Understanding can be powerful tools.

Demystifying Exorcism - What it is, What it is not

Demystifying Exorcism - What it is, What it is not 10/18 by Geralyn St Joseph | Blog Talk Radio

Exorcism is a loaded word that holds very different meaning for different people. The mere mention of the word exorcism strikes people with fear and loathing, denial and derision.

But what is an exorcism? Who can perform an exorcism? What does it entail? How do you know if an exorcism is needed? What makes you susceptible to this type of attack? How do you protect yourself from becoming the victim of an exorcism fraud?

Sign of the Times

For the past several months I have been receiving frantic phone calls from clients with anxiety, nightmares and a general sense of impending doom. Many peoples’ lives seem to be in chaos. With the approaching end of the Mayan calendar, our futures are in question. All of humanity seems to feel something coming, but what?

This period of time is very difficult on everyone, but is felt more strongly by sensitive individuals. The key is to realize that you are not alone, you are not crazy and chances are that what you are feeling is not personal. By not personal I mean, what is happening is global. Even though the affects can feel personal, the effect is global.

It is time to change. It is time to regain our moral compass and our connection to God, the Universe and Mother Earth. The heightened interest in Spirituality, Eastern Medicine and the mind-body-spirit connection are symptoms of the times. In order to change the outer structures, we need to change our inner voices.

The structures around us, those that truly support us, are not man-made. The structures that truly support us as beings are energetic, spiritual and then physical. The man-made structures built around us were originally designed to support our growth and give us more time for introspection and spiritual pursuits. Many of these things have backfired.

Most of these man-made structures need major overhauls. In America in 2008 the populace cried out for change, unaware that the change can only happen if it begins within us. Our world is rampant with disillusionment and fear. At the same time there exists a growing movement of Truth and Joy. These two camps are pulling further and further apart, in thought, expression, action and vibration.

Eventually when the vibrational frequency of these two groups is polarized enough, one will apparently cease to exist. Is this the Rapture described in the Bible? Those who act out of pure compassion and love, those who follow in the Christ’s footsteps by following the Universal Laws will apparently cease to exist to those trapped in the vibration of apathy and fear. Is this the shift spoken of in so many ancient cultures like the Mayans?

In popular culture we cry out for freedom of thought and word yet punish those who voice opinions different than our own. Is this Truth? Will we allow might to continue to make right? Our monetary systems are arbitrary at best. What do you have to offer your fellow citizens when these things shift or even cease to exist? Gold? Jewels? Or something more valuable, like compassion and support.

Now is the time to be who you truly be. The astrology** reflects this as a time of reckoning. The façade of the 50s gave way to the hippie culture of the 60s, but have we come a long way, baby? What have we accomplished? Our greed and short-sightedness have created a polluted, dying world in chaos. Yet we can see heaven just around the corner. Are we delusional? Or are we simply optimistic?

Let us reach deep to find the best in ourselves. Let us reach down to our roots where we are all connected in Spirit. Let us find our common ground, celebrate our cultures, heal our planet and move forward in compassion and grace. BE the change you want to see in the world, because you are the only one who can be who you be.

Blessings and God’s Grace to ALL!

What Is That In Your Aura? Energy Field?

            I am sure that you have heard the term aura and or energy field.  We are comprised of energy which extends past our physical bodies.  How far past is a matter of debate and deep discussion.  Regardless of how large you believe your energy field to be, be aware of the existence of things within it.  Also be aware that nothing exists in your field without your consent or invitation.

            That means at some point in your existence you agree to allow something in your field.  Or you may invite things into your field by creating cracks in your aura, leaving holes unhealed or leaving your physical body unguarded.

            What does that mean?  When you experience trauma, whether mental, emotional or physical, it creates cracks in your aura.  Left untended these cracks invite entities into your energy field.  Doing things like drinking alcohol, doing drugs and smoking, also open your field and invite entities.  Other things such as channeling where you allow another spirit to inhabit your body also invite entities into your field because you’re leaving your physical body unguarded.

            What do we find in people’s energy fields?  We find implants, outdated agreements and entities very often in people’s energy fields.  Most people don’t even know that they are carrying this stuff around.  You may have made an agreement with someone are something in another time place or dimension to perform a certain way.  These things can include loyalty, fear, anger and even hate.  They can be your commitment to organizations and people made in this lifetime or another.  The entities that exist in our energy fields can be helpful but are usually not.  It is best to clear everything had that is not serving at your highest good from your energy field.

            For instance, in someone who is an alcoholic and craves alcohol you’ll generally find entities that feed off of the energy created when one is letting go control their body and giving up there will to whatever is nearby.  Oftentimes these entities will multiply as the alcoholism develops.  The more entities in the field the less likely the subject is to stay on the wagon.  Alcohol loosens the hold of the soul on the physical body.  Drinking alcohol allows entities to attach themselves to the energetic field.  Sometimes these entities even take control the physical body while the soul is detached.  You will see this in people whose personalities change drastically when their drinking.  If you are observant you can often see changes to the person’s face.  This can be scary and it dangerous not just a person who is drinking but to everyone around them.

            Without consciously going through a process of clearing and cleansing the entire energetic field, one that can travel through life being fodder for things they don’t even realize exist.  Many people are aware of aura cleansing, chakra balancing, pulling cords and the like.  These are good beginning steps to clearing your field.  Every so often, especially if you indulge in alcohol, smoking, drugs or dangerous behavior, you need a deep cleaning.  A simple cleansing will not clear that which you have agreed to in the past.  Also a simple cleansing cannot help when you continually damage your aura consciously.

            For a deep cleansing it is always good to find a practitioner you trust to work with you, as a deep cleansing can become very emotional and have side effects and consequences that you need to deal with and may need help sorting through.  With a deep cleansing you consciously rid your entire energetic field of that which no longer serves your highest good.  This means consciously removing implants, programs, entities, blockages and anything else that doesn’t belong there.

            You may also need a soul retrieval to fully bring your soul, aura and energy field to wholeness.  Often it is seen with trauma and addiction that we leave a piece of ourselves on the astral plane or in the area that the trauma occurred, or both.  Soul retrieval should be done with no less than two people present; the practitioner performing the soul retrieval and the client or the person performing the soul retrieval and someone to hold the space.  Holding the space means creating a safe space and ensuring the person’s return to their physical body.

            Once your energetic field is cleansed, you’ll need to strengthen your field, your aura.  There are many ways to do this and to keep your energy field clean.  But that is for another time.   

Blessings!
