Are We In A Simulation?

Update: Since writing this I have seen more evidence and received clear messages that we are living in a simulation. If guided, I will write about them in another post and link this article to it. 
​
I cannot say anything definitive about this. I have no idea. 

What I do know is the more I see energetically and the more I do this work the more this earth doesn't feel very physical. 

I can see what is coming ahead due to receiving visions and other messages about it. I can also see those same visions being changed when they are not helpful. 

The more I do this and see the effects of it the more this earth feels more like some sort of video game or simulation. 

It doesn't feel very real. 

It is real. Of course if you hurt your shin it's going to really hurt. 

It's just that it is so malleable that it's not very physical at the same time. 

I have seen some weird things that really make it seem like this world is some sort of simulation or video game. 

I have personally had these types of experiences, but my clients have had them too. 

There are instances where things show up and there is no physical explanation for it. 

In these instances, life reminds me of The Hunger Games. It feels like we are in some sort of container and outside forces can place obstacles in front of us and help in front of us. 

There are energetic beings that can influence this world. I will see them create problems, but I will also see good ones that help.

They usually help with changing the energy around a situation and that produces different outcomes. 

I am not going to say this is definitely a simulation, but it's definitely not the world people think it is. 

If you were to only go with what you learned by mainstream and school then you are in a complete disadvantage because once you know this aspect you can change so much in your life. 

But more importantly, this earth doesn't feel so bad. You don't take any of it so seriously. Nothing feels permanent anymore once you see the ins and out of how things work.

Entities

I am going to start writing blog posts that simply share what I see going on in the energy. 

I am simply adding to the information out there. Other intuitives talk about things they see  and I wish to add to the information that is already out there.  

As you know, I see entities. I don't call them demons, aliens, or anything in between. 

In fact, for me they often look human like. Sometimes some have not looked human shaped, but for the most part I don't really care about trying to identify it in any way. I only care about the energy it carries and I know they carry negative energy and do evil things in the same way that people speak about demons. 

What I have noticed is that a lot of people are infested with these entities. These entities create energetic attachments. I see it like a line between you and the entity. Within that line there is an energy. It can be different things, but I will focus on a few things around this subject today. 

The first thing I noticed is that they create unwanted thoughts in people through those connections. That thought will be an obsession. People cannot get rid of that thought and it somehow creates problems in their lives. 

For example, it can be a thought around how worthless you are. That's definitely going to ruin your life. You cannot make empowered decisions that benefit you when you feel worthless. You will always feel like you don't belong in a space or around good people so you will keep settling for people that you know you shouldn't even have in your space. 

When I meet someone that I can see is highly stressed they usually have a lot of these connections going on. 

And this is the important part. I had long noticed that I could not allow these kind of people in my life because it would somehow create havoc in mine. 

I tried. I knew that they had issues and I could see what was going on energetically and I know they can sometimes be a victim so I would try to allow them into my life, but it always always backfired on me. 

Here is why. These people are riddled with these connections and so they are easily influenced by these entities. The connections make it so that you are basically a puppet for them. Through those connections they can influence what you say and do and because of this these entities can and do use other people to cause you harm. 

And they don't even have to directly do something to you. Just the fact that you talk to them allows these entities to have an entry into your life. 

They play off information they know about you. And it can end up being the smallest stupidest thing about you, but they will use it against you. 

Just like in real life you can have people communicate and plan together these entities do the same exact thing. So they create plans to create chaos in your life and while sometimes it might be an outright huge attack on you they really like to do the small things because those tend to go under the radar. 

With the small things, you tend to think it's just you. You're just obsessive. You just don't have the ability to shake things off. You will think you're the problem, but I have seen time and time again that in certain circumstances the problem can be traced back to one of these connections. 

Once the connection is severed the problem goes away. If the person is sensitive, they may feel the obsessive thought leave their mind and notice how their thoughts change into more helpful thoughts. 

Usually a person has multiple connections like this. Not just one so it isn't a quick problem to solve. 

It's more pervasive and there is a larger infestation when these entities have been in your family for generations. I usually see this in families where there is abuse going on. 

This situation is the most challenging one, but it can always be spotted. 

More recently, I met someone and I could see something was off in his energy. I spoke to him about what I saw and mentioned Santeria. Right away, he mentioned that his family does Santeria and that he did not agree with it and moved away from them when he was 12 years old. 

In this instance, they are attached to you and the entire family. They feel like they own you because somewhere down the line some ancestor did something to allow them into their life and family. 

This type of situation is one of the reasons for what people call a generational curse. The curse is actually these entities that have a free for all in your family. They absolutely own the family and their actions and what they say are dictated by these entities. 

I am going to stop here for now. I will add more information as I feel inspired to share.

How To Pray

This is more important than you realize. Everyone is taught about prayer, but there is so much left out that leaves you vulnerable. I see these problems often with my clients.

The main problem we have is that we have a lot of religions on this planet and everyone is praying to their god. We have all agreed that this is acceptable and to say otherwise is to be intolerant. It's one of the ways that negative forces have messed with us. They have made us believe that there is no truth on this planet and that you get to create your own truth. It's simply not true. 

There are truths and you can see them spiritually. When someone is praying to the god of their religion they leave themselves susceptible to entities attaching themselves to them. Negative entities are tricksters. They will make you believe that they are God. 

When you're praying for something you're often desperate or really wanting it. In that state, you leave yourself very vulnerable to their trickery and it all happens in the invisible. You often do not realize it has occurred although many of my clients do realize that they have entities that have attached to them and you may fit under that category. 

So they will commune with you. If you're intuitive they may talk to you and you may believe you are speaking with God. They talk a lot about righteousness and all sorts of things that sound holy, but are always rooted in legalism and weirdness. 

If it's already happened, you need to work with someone to release those attachments. It's not a DIY project. To prevent this from occurring, teach your children to pray to the one true God, the Creator of all things. Let your intention be that you are only communicating with that God and nothing else. 

I help people with their spiritual problems. If you're facing this problem or any other spiritual problem please contact me and I will let you know if it is a problem that I can help you solve.

The Truth About Breaking Generational Curses

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Picture
I have worked on breaking generational curses in my life since my late teenage years. What I am about to tell you is a combination of my lived experience and information I have gathered through working with clients and seeing what is going on. I may be wrong, but this is what I currently believe is going on with generational curses. 

My life was a big chaotic mess. I would pray all the time. I would drive to work and I would be praying on my way to work. I would wake up and I would pray. I would go to bed and I would pray. It was part of my daily life to pray about my well being and my family's well being throughout the day. They were little prayers. 

Since I was very young I have spoken to God. My family was abusive and God was my only comfort. I would pray and I would feel His comfort around me and within me. I knew the presence of God.

But yet, once I became an adult my life was one chaotic mess after another. I have found the reasons for it to be complex. It is true that you need to do work to heal your trauma. I don't dispute that, but there is an underlying bigger issue going on as well. 

Time and time again, I have seen that people that come from abusive families have attachments of negative entities all over them. The way I have made sense of this is that they appear to be gangs that gang up on a family keeping them tied to that way of life. That's why it will feel like a curse. That's why it will feel like no matter what you do you can't change things. 

There have been several pivotal moments in my life. One of them was when I was in a serious relationship with a guy prior to my husband. He was abusive and I remember a pivotal moment where I could see the cycle of abuse and I could see what was going on. I can now see that as a moment where those negative forces wanted me to live the same way my ancestors did. In fact, I believe they played a pivotal role in that relationship. 

But I had a moment of awareness and I got out. I ended up marrying my husband which I believe was not part of their plan, but a part of God's plan. My life has been a mixture of me praying and somehow ending up with some good things in my life, but also a lot of interference and challenges in my life beyond what could be understood as normal life challenges. 

I see the same occurring in the lives of my clients. They have these attachments working in their life, creating extreme challenges for them and deceiving them. They will pull your energy to guide you and you will believe you are following God, but in fact you are being deceived. 

Ultimately this is how this curse is ultimately broken. All of that I have described is a spiritual war and that war is for your soul. It is my understanding that when you are born into one of these families that are riddled with attachments they believe they own you and your soul. They will fight for it. That is why your life will be the way that it is. 

You will continue in this state of spiritual war until the battle is won. Ultimately you need to completely align yourself with God and want absolutely nothing to do with their abhorrent ways. This seems easy enough to do. No one wants this in their life right? And yet, it isn't easy mainly because of all of the trickery and deception while you are in the midst of that war. 

When you don't know what you're doing and you can't see what's going on, they will make you believe all is well only to later find that they have been messing in your life in a different way that you hadn't considered. The game is lies, deception, and trickery. God won't punish you for this. He is very aware that you have no idea what is going on and all will be corrected once you find your way to Him. 

Once you have gotten this far it will only be true for you. Members of your family have to go through their own spiritual war to get to this point. Until they do, they will be continued to be used by the negative forces and unfortunately they are so deceptive they won't necessarily see it. 

As you are going on this journey you will find random people attacking you from all areas. See it and know it for what it is. There are a lot of people that are used by the negative forces to get to you. Know that and don't let it get to you. 

Their main source of power is your fear. You fear death. You fear bad things happening. Learn to have faith in the goodness of God and that you are ultimately always okay and protected. If you know that you love God, why would you ever need to be afraid of death?

Once you no longer are afraid of what they can do to you they lose all of their power over you. That isn't the final step. Plenty of people get to this point. The final step is to know that this is a battle for your soul and get to a place where you have won and know your place with God.  At that point they will have no power over your life anymore.

Before You Get Involved in Spiritual Things You Need to Know This Part 2

0 Comments

Picture
Almost everyone is taught how to pray from a young age. We say our prayers before bed, but very few are taught about how to protect themselves during prayer. 

Prayer isn't something we passively do. Because you're not physically doing it you think it's a very passive affair. You think, " I will just say a quick prayer and go about my day." 

That's not how it works. Prayer is the beginning of a long chain of dominos especially when you're praying for protection because there are negative forces that will actively work against you and your prayers. 

It is real work. God doesn't just do everything for you. You have to be actively aware of what is going on spiritually and keep praying, but if you have been compromised energetically your prayers will be very ineffective and can lead to more problems. 

This is especially true when you practice praying to different entities. You don't really know what you're praying to and what their intention is toward you. 

The same can be said about listening to binaural beats, meditations, and chants. Unless you personally know the creator of these things and can trust them you cannot trust that these things are created in good faith. Usually whatever they have put into them that is damaging is so tiny that it will go undetected, but overall you will keep doing spiritual practices and praying and see areas of your life getting worse. 

You may even think, "When I was praying daily, journaling, and doing yoga I didn't have these problems" not realizing that was when your problems began.  

I learned through personal experience that many yoga practices open up your energy too much. When it is open it allows for entities to get in. If you're not spiritually aware enough you won't know this has occurred and you will never link the two together. 

Due to this, I stopped doing anything that other people have created and would only do them based on my own training, but I have come to a place where I don't even feel the need to meditate, do yoga, or qigong. I just commune with God in my own quiet time when I choose to do so without anyone guiding me through a meditation. 

You won't ever hear me recommend anyone right now because I have found many people that are actively doing this kind of work helping you with one hand and stealing your energy with their other hand. They are two faced. 

I am someone that does a lot of research and reads a lot so I haven't been as blunt about this before now. I wanted to make sure I knew what I was talking about before I spoke about it.  In particular, there is one big author that is quite famous and I read her work. While reading it, I was so confused. I had no idea what she was talking about and I would reread the passages thinking it would sink in better until I heard God say to me, "Look at her bibliography." 

I looked at her bibliography and a lot of her resources were Wikipedia and How Stuff Works. I am not kidding. At that moment I heard, "She doesn't know what she is talking about. She hopes to speak so above people's heads that they won't ever catch that she doesn't know what she is talking about." 

That made sense to me because I am actually someone that loves science and math so science makes sense to me, but everything she was saying made absolutely no logical sense. 

And I am okay with things not making sense because when it comes to spiritual work it doesn't make logical sense sometimes, but something within you knows it's true because we all have that inner compass. There is mystery there, but we can still be guided and know when something is off. 

Through visions, I saw that her work was also damaging people mainly because her work is leading them astray. Her work and the work of other new agers is leaving people completely vulnerable to dark forces.  

But I am not picking on new agers because most information out there including the bible has a lot of important information missing that you will only get through communing with God. God is already within you. You do not need to seek him outside of you. That is one of the lies that keeps you separate from God. 

My background is Christianity and I have read the bible many times and during that time I was severely spiritually attacked because the bible has missing components to it and because pastors and priests don't know about them either. I went to several pastors. They all told me to pray as if I hadn't already been doing that. Things only kept getting worse. 

I then went back to my Catholic roots and was helped by a priest. Things seemed to ease up a little, but in reality they hadn't at all. 

It is during this time of being spiritually attacked that I saw my marriage go down the drain. It is during this time that I was involved in the most epic fights with my husband. 

Having epic battles with your husband is one of the signs of being spiritually attacked. Negative forces want to see you divorce. They want to break up families. That's why I am always weary of anyone that is so quick to say to go "no contact" with family because division is one of the main ways that negative forces love to attack families. That isn't to say it isn't appropriate sometimes. Some situations really do warrant going no contact especially if there is abuse, but as of late I have been seeing people do it over what appears to be nonsensical things that come from the interference of negative forces. 

When negative forces are involved if you have a moment of clarity you will see what you're fighting about makes absolutely no sense. Remember I said when they are involved not that they are always involved or the reason for people's problems. 

If you have any questions please comment them and I will do my best to respond here or to write a post about it.

Before You Get Involved in Spiritual Things You Need to Know This Part 1

A lot of psychics will tell you that everything in the spiritual realm is good and that all of your loved ones are happy and doing well on the other side. 

I can't speak about what they are seeing and why they're seeing that, but I can speak from my experience. 

In my experience, the spiritual realm is very similar to the physical world. Just like you can meet a stranger and have it turn out that that stranger is a very good and kind person or a sorry excuse for a human being, it is the same in the spiritual realm. Also just like in the physical realm, someone may be very good at making you believe they're a good person and that you can trust them the same can be said in the spiritual realm. Evil spiritual beings can dress in light. They can make you think that they are there to help you, but they're doing everything but helping you. 

Not realizing this can create lots of problems for you. 

I have clients that have taken classes to learn how to astral travel or be psychic. They never received any spiritual counseling. They were led to believe that it is completely safe to do these things and were lured by all that they could get by doing them: material wealth. If anything is being sold to you by telling you that you will be wealthy and really trying to inflate your ego, be weary. They are lying to you. 

God does not care about material wealth. God does not care about helping people make millions of dollars. God does care about supporting you, helping you, and your material and spiritual well being, but you  don't need millions of dollars to be happy or safe. That is a completely egoic pursuit that is usually fueled by feeling like you're not enough and not being happy so you believe if you get all of those things you will finally have enough and be happy. 

In recent years, psychic work has become extremely popular and everyone wants to be clairvoyant. It's caused an epidemic of a lot of people plunging into this area without any spiritual armor or protection and they are now suffering the consequences of that. 

Regardless of how you're psychic or dabbling into the spiritual world, these are things that we all have to learn how to navigate, but no one is ever discussing them because they don't sell. 

Telling you that you will be able to have everything you want sells. Telling you that working in this space is dangerous and brings a lot of extra problems at your door doesn't sell. 

Do you know that practically all intuitives and empaths have a time in their lives where they wish they didn't have these gifts?

I was one of them. I have been targeted spiritually. I have gone through the most horrific and terrible challenges that normal people don't have to face. Unfortunately, I learned that you can't shut it off and that even if you try to not use your gift you will still be targeted because of who you are. Evil forces know who you are when you have these abilities and they will target you regardless of whether you speak about it or not so I have chosen to just start speaking about it because you need to know this. 

Please let me know if you any questions and I will do my best to write posts to answer them.

The Moment I Realized the Impact Being an Empath Was Having on My Marriage, My Marriage Began to Transform

 I had been to therapy for years and had been told I was an empath, but I didn't realize what that really meant. 

It means more than you are absorbing other people's emotions, illnesses, and energy. 

It's not just an inconvenience. 

It completely destroys your life. Having this energetic exchange happen regularly in your relationships distorts your relationships. 

There is no other way around it. 

Here is how it played out in my marriage and began to make my marriage suffer. 

I remember this day vividly still. My husband and I have amazing conversations together and enjoy spending time together so we had this beautiful habit of going on trails together. 

One Saturday, we were walking a trail and I was filled with so many positive emotions.

I had been working on my trauma and was beginning to feel safe and happy when all of a sudden he reached for my hand. The second he touched my hand, a dark cloud loomed over me and I felt depressed. 

Grief and extreme pain overwhelmed me. 

The reality is that this had been happening for a long time in my life, but the stark contrast of that day is what made me realize this was occurring. Prior to that it would have been hard for me to notice because I was already depressed so if I were to feel even more depressed it just meant I was having a bad day. 

This isn't where it stopped though. I began to notice that I was waking up fatigued in the mornings. I had no energy within me. That was because I was giving my life force energy to my husband while we slept at night in bed together. 

I didn't know what to do anymore. I literally couldn't be around my husband without feeling discomfort in my own body and of course that spilled out into how we interacted with each other.

I had absorbed so much of other people's anger and other emotions that I began to genuinely feel hatred inside. I hated people and I hated my husband. 

All of this anger welled up inside of me and I would vomit verbal diarrhea on my husband daily. 

Our joyous walks turned into fighting matches. 

And he just wanted his wife back. He had no idea what was going on with me. 

Once I realized what was going on, I began to do the work that needed to be done to undo all of this and it isn't easy. 

There are no tricks to stopping this cycle. The only way to get out of it was to go through the subconscious beliefs I had that were causing me to absorb other people's energy. 

There are a few core beliefs that allow this to happen. Here they are:

1) I don't deserve love. 

2) I am not worthy of goodness. 

These beliefs energetically send out the message to the world that everyone else is more important than you are so they are able to steal your energy and due to your beliefs you also willingly subconsciously self sacrifice all the time absorbing other people's ailments, maladies, and negative emotions in exchange for your healthy energy. 

The underlying reason for this is the belief that if you do this you will finally be able to receive love. You will finally be loved. 

But unfortunately that never happens. 

So instead what happened is that I became increasingly emotionally unstable and easily triggered and as time progressed incredibly ill. 

And I felt like a complete failure at life because my relationships were a disaster, but I also couldn't function very well in life anymore due to this lack of energy. 

I was a mess and it hurt to be stuck in this mess. 

I felt that God was very unfair. I felt that God wasn't supporting me or helping me. 

It was an incredibly dark time in my life that I wouldn't wish upon anyone and I was helpless to change it only because I didn't realize how my energy was contributing to my problems.

Shame is Ruining Your Marriage: Here Is How To Stop It

0 Comments

It isn't obvious, but shame is the number one killer of marriages. 

This is because shame keeps you stuck.

When you feel ashamed you don't feel like you're able to ask for help. 

You're too ashamed to tell anyone about what's going wrong in your marriage.

You can't bear the thought of anyone knowing the real you.

You might even be too ashamed to examine the role you're playing in your marriage. 

That is a sure fire way to kill a marriage. 

So you have to start to dismantle the shame by realizing that the issues you're facing are quite normal. 

You're not alone. 

All couples go through hardships in their marriage. 

The difference isn't whether a couple is perfect or not, but how they work toward resolving their issues. 

But shame is a little more covert in how it kills a marriage than just the above. 

Shame also kills a marriage because while you feel ashamed you cannot perceive things clearly. 

So when your husband tells you that "it isn't what you say, but how you say it." 

If you have a good sense of self worth you can hear that and be okay and work with your husband to make changes. 

If your sense of self worth is low and it's making you feel ashamed you will instantly get defensive because if what he is saying is true then that means you are a terrible person.

It isn't your fault that you feel ashamed and it isn't his fault either. 

This shame is coming from a different source usually your childhood. 

And shame is a tricky thing to deal with because it isn't an emotion. Anger, joy, sadness, and despair are all examples of emotions, but shame isn't an emotion. 

It isn't giving you any valuable information. All of the other emotions let you know something you need to know. 

Shame is just a lie that doesn't belong in your life and as such it cannot be processed like emotions can. It needs to be energetically released. That's the only way to get rid of it once and for all. 

So how do you start seeing a change now? Notice that shame is working in your marriage. Bring awareness to how it's making you feel and how it's making you respond to your partner. 

Once you have this awareness you can choose to respond differently. 

Recollect your last fight that was centered around something you were doing. Recall the tension and stress that came up into your body. 

Notice how you responded. How can you respond differently now that you know that you responded the way you did due to shame?

Every Time I Would Bring Up An Issue He Would Get Defensive Leading to Arguments: Here Is What Stopped That

Picture
We had been stuck in the same arguments for a long time. Every time I would try to bring it up in a different way and to be careful with the words I used, but we would still end up in a fight. 

Until one day as we were stuck in the same pattern something changed within me. This time I said what I said, but as he responded the way that he did my inner voice said, "He is hearing he isn't enough." 

I said this out loud.  I said, "Are you feeling like you're not enough right now?"

He said, "Yes. I am a man. We are always feeling like we're not enough and when you keep bringing these things up it keeps reminding me that I will never be enough. No matter what I do. I am not enough."

That stung. I wasn't trying to hurt him. I wasn't trying to add to his pain. 

We cannot tip toe around people or know what will rub them the wrong way, but understanding their internal battle helps in bringing in more empathy into the dynamic. 

It brought more awareness around how I could connect more with him prior to having these conversations so I wouldn't poke that wound so hard. 

It had nothing to do with tools or phrases I learned to say so I won't share that here. 

Something inside of me changed when I understood how deeply he felt that he wasn't enough. 

That brought in the empathy for me. In this exercise you will experience the same. 

Take a moment when you're alone and close your eyes. Replay some of the last arguments you've had with your husband. Really feel the argument. Was it led with empathy? Don't judge yourself too harshly. It's hard to lead with empathy when we are frustrated, but bring that awareness. 

As you see the argument unfold notice your body language, notice how you feel inside. Notice the energy you're projecting forward. It isn't about what you're saying. It's about the energy you're bringing in to the conversation. 

Allow what ever insight comes to come forward and jot them down in a journal. 

Please take the time to do the exercise. Don't just read it. 

This is the first step to beginning to see where your blind spots were and how you can change the energy in the relationship. 

Within the energy there are energetic factors causing you to poke at his "I am not enough"  wound and there are energetic factors that are maintaining this wound in your husband.  Both are at play and locking in this cycle in your relationship. 

Both need to be addressed to have this issue resolved for good.  I help my clients with the energetics around their relationships.
