The Truth About Sleep Paralysis
This is something that I personally have experienced in ally types of states, even awake. I know people who have experienced it also. The "experts" have studied it, paranormal and non-paranormal experts alike. These studies does nothing but confuse and confine. There are too many limitations to their information. It is the truest nightmare that you will experience because of the similarities between it and the actual state of death. We have a few things to consider here:
1. What is the technical death experience?
2. What do we already know about the state of the spirit
just after death?
3. How does these states of our bodies effect our
spirit?
4. What do we know about spirit manifestation and our
own natural methods of picking up the
manifestation or communication?
5. Does the spirit change after death occurs and they
give up their body?
6. What occurs during dreams and how is that related
to the world of spirit?
7. What are the spirits ways of contacting the living?
8. Should I listen to all those legends, rumors, and
hearsay from other religions and researchers that
do not claim the reality of psychic occurrence or
that have specific guidelines when dealing with
spirits of all kinds?
As you can see, these are not easy to answer without a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips and a lot of research, plus some practical experience whether it be listening to those who have actually experienced this or experiencing it yourself. The latter is not an option. Sleep Paralysis is the LIVING NIGHTMARE, whether one is in a dream state when it is experienced or not. Yes, I have witnessed people experience this during full waking consciousness! There are no easy answers and there's not a simple formula that equals these types of experiences and/or one or group of experiences.
These types of experiences are individual and personal just like spirit manifestation. I cannot sit here and type every method, means or intentions to any form of spirit manifestation or the why's of these types of spiritual or physical (bodily) attacks or failures.
Sleep paralysis is technically the failure of the body or brain specifically to bring the body out of the deepest state of sleep. The purpose of this function, the disabling of the body from functioning normally during the dream state, is to keep the body from "acting out" the dreams. Sometimes this functions backwards or in other words, we experience the opposite effect. Ever been asleep and hit anyone totally unaware that your arm moved? Ever dreamed that you were falling off the edge of a cliff and fell off the bed or hit the wall? This I have also experienced personally. This is the function that causes sleep paralysis operating opposite of disabling the body or the failure of it to function. Both state has something to teach us about the other.
First I would like to share what happened to me personally during the MANY times that sleep paralysis occurred within myself. In my case it had everything to do with spirits. I will give an account of my own personal haunting in a different discussion and on the web site when I get the chance. It is on the list of my "things to do soon" list. Some things to consider while you read my personal accounts:
1. I have known for a long time that my home and myself are haunted.
2. I know the types of spirits I am dealing with personally.
3. I knew their intention was to attack me and cause illness, fear, and anything else they could cause within me for the worse, not the better.
4. I knew their history of meanness and violence outside of my own personal experiences with the people in my family and around me.
5. I knew their power to manifest and their chosen means.
6. I knew them log enough to know their state of mind and their motives.
It started happening ....... It had always happened but not this frequently until I started getting knowledge about the paranormal. Why? I would soon uncover them and they might be left powerless over me, of course. They were power hungry but more than that. They wanted to take everything I had, including my body. ..... The one I found first was my brother who supposedly was murdered, though I found out later as my knowledge of communications grew, that he committed suicide. There were rumors of that since it happened, but some of my family was in denial and murder seemed a better "crutch". So was illusions on the part of the living and the dead. Our family was cursed twice over. (More History in a different section .... This is a LONG story! .... This particular article I will only describe the experiences with sleep paralysis alone, and go into more detail in another section on the board when I can write out the whole story for the group.) My brother was in the front line of fire for the curses to work together, so to say. One was directed at the male heirs (Scottish origin), and the other was directed at the first born males, same thing by Scottish Clan law. But the other was a more modern one. The first was an old one and stemmed from the justice of our ancestors. The second was one that was put on my Grandfather and all that came after, including his own immediate family. When the second one was given, the males started dying ... literally, like a recipe for death, so to say. Word for word, my family watched their loved ones die by the specifications of both curses. Scary enough, huh? But it gets worse. ....
