A lot of things that look good on paper fall down in practice. Many people pretend or persuade themselves that they have the higher knowledge and skill and faith to deal with real evil spirits, demonic attacks, and possession problems, but they are usually just as clueless and afraid as are the victims of these dark maladies. “Just surround yourself with white light” I was so often told, but when this did not work I was openly blamed for not doing it right.
But would any reasonable person apply this maxim to things like sunburn, termites, burglars, and addictions? That would, of course, be ridiculous! So why should this principle apply to the evil spirits invading your mind and your home? They’ll just go away if you ignore them, right? This maxim was obviously never meant to be used as a reason to not do anything to help yourself in any given situation.

Quick-Start Guide Core Affirmation: “I am loved and I am worthy. I am safe and I am free. I am powerfully protected. I am master of my body and ruler of my mind.”
Take a long shower as soon as possible. Imagine you are being washed inside and out with electric violet or white light. Repeat this shower as often as necessary. The running water of a shower is your primary EMF (electromagnetic-force) defense against direct attack. Notice that you feel more peaceful under the shower. Use that peace to recite the Core Affirmation aloud and often. After showering, rub Tiger Balm or Tee Tree oil into your feet and anywhere that is feeling weird sensations. Add more as necessary. Use plenty of incense or essential oils in every room—white sage, dragon’s blood, frankincense, or whatever you have. Keep the incense burning. Have plenty on hand.
Sleep electrically grounded, or earthed (see Chapter 7). Get automobile jumper leads and an antistatic computer wrist strap. Connect one end to a metal tap, water pipe, or grounded steel and the other end to your bare skin during sleep.
Get as much light and sunlight as possible. Avoid dark, quiet places.

The effects of Negatives on human life form a part of the underlying workings of life. Negative forces are just as necessary for spiritual growth as the positives are.
The dream mind is the most noticeable other aspect of mind beyond the normal awake state of consciousness. The dream mind will sometimes become active when overtired persons are resting or trying to fall asleep. It can also become active during meditation sessions. When the dream mind becomes active, the eyelids flicker noticeably. This odd sensation, called rapid eye movement, or REM, indicates that the mind is dreaming. It is sometimes possible to catch glimpses of what is happening in the dream mind.
