angels, spirits and things that go bump in the night

So many of us have been drawn, either thru media or actual events to focus a bit on the beings in other dimensions that I thought I would post the best advice I know. There is a concept that goes "fasting, prayer and alms -giving" all must go together or there is spiritual trouble. Makes sense. When you are fasting, you are entering into a different state of consciousness, hence open to the spirits. All spirits. Fasting is not the only way to open the doors to higher consciousness. Some drugs do this, Native sweat lodges, certain forms of yoga and meditations and mystic practices. so the door is opened and ANYTHING can come it This is why so many religions say stay away-as a cautionary measure. look at it as a black hole if you do not fill it whatever is out there comes in. So, prayer, also meditation rituals ceremonies can act as the filter to keep out the wrong energies--those that want to experience earth and take over. That is why so many so called mediums are fat and drink the lower level spirits miss things and come in to take over your body to do them. and then there are the serious bad spirits-uffda(see I am from minnesota) So, as the saying goes it your heart ain't right, nothing will alight. Alms giving, which is also compassion is needed to keep mindfulness the mind in the heart of course, and purity so that you further filter out the bad and attract the higher beings. So when you feel a presence, immediately pray, or any of the prayer alternatives, and be sure your mind is in your heart, feel compassion and do some alms giving-make a pledge. then you can insure your safely, although here comes the disclaimer nothing is 100% all the time. Still have to be careful, and cleanse afterwards thru either a religious communion or other method you know and use.
