This database is amazing, however I do have a warning.
I totally agree with the idea that there is a level of spiritual existence that isn’t obvious to our regular senses and can’t be measured with our current technology.
Experiences like near death experiences, astral projection and DMT trip experiences have been documented and seem to overlap and for me this verifies the existence of astral/spiritual dimensions.
When looking at a collection of knowledge on spirituality, it’s important to realize that not all the entities that exist in the spiritual realm are going to be communicating the truth to us.
Spiritual disinformation is a very real phenomenon. Some of the people who write spiritual books are channeling spiritual knowledge directly from higher level entities. Some of these entities are demons and tricksters and they are feeding us a narrative that benefits them or amuses them in some way.
I can’t tell you what’s true or not true, all I can do is tell you to be careful of what you read and what you practice.
I will further warn, take this stuff in small doses. Contact with evil is real, and changes humans. We don't notice the change in ourselves, nor are we (usually) sure what of this stuff has any actual evil power vs what is just mortal ideas. If possible, inform a close friend of what you're undertaking and ask them to point out any changes in you they see; then LISTEN
Can you speak from experience? You say contact with evil is real, but can’t you say the same about contact with good forces (like just reading the Bible) as well?
If you go into either with a skeptical and rational mind, how much power can the text really have? I’m thinking of a staunch atheist who sits down and reads the Bible. How many of them convert afterwards?
I absolutely speak from experience. And the text itself has no power. Contact with good and evil both shape humans. It changes us. Some texts may facilitate that.
So limiting doses of this stuff, following up with reading the Bible, especially favorite and powerful sections like Psalm 91, 23, Ephesians 2 is a good approach. Kinda like r/eyebleach had a purpose after exposure to particularly vile graphics.
Some people are "third eye blind;" does this insulate them from evil as effectively as good? Idk. But I suspect people like that aren't likely to be interested in reading this stuff.
One key difference is that powers of darkness operate on a limited budget, whereas God is omnipresent. This by no means makes us immune to evil, and this fact is increasingly obvious just by observation. I point out that everybody's pissed because evil is becoming more prominent in our world.
So there is paradox here: hopefully those interested in this want to learn how to combat evil! Just be aware that evil fights back, first by getting inside our head. Learning about it requires skill to not be influenced by evil. "Small doses" is a good first instruction :)
MY VOICE
My voice is but a simple one
Tired of the lies, Just give me the truth
Ain't no sunshine where there is shame
Instead of flowers I've gotten rain
Evil frought against me, left without a fight
Going through the badlands, Not having seen, the way of right
As a bat minus eyes to see, Shielded from truth and light, Of what is and what could be
Never stood ground against what I didn't know,, Could not see
Yet felt darkness, there before me
Blocked at every turn, Kept from my purpose
Silent without a voice, Til the Lord spoke my name
He said "Stand up, stand your ground, What is happening I will not tolerate,
These are my people, this is my land"
I asked, for wisdom that I would know, For discernment that I could tell,
That the veil on my eyes be removed, For empathy to feel others pain
Then I looked about and saw, Grief and pain and evil about
Not that I should sit idly and quietly by, But that I stand and speak
He told me "speak it loud, speak it clear, Yours is not to accept and retreat,
STAND your ground, DO NOT back down, SPEAK truth and right,
When evil and darkness come against you, Say it louder, call my name,
though they try to silence you, they will NOT SUCCEED
They may imprison or take your life, Yet your reward for truth, lies in me,
Your physical being is merely a vessel in this world
Your eternal lies with me, Should they silence you, I will bring more,
Now Go, reach all you can, For the hour is late,
I am coming soon,
My army will come to clean and glean, For the harvest is plenty,
Now GO, and SPEAK"

Where were You
Where were you
When they cried out from the grave
Where were you
When these little ones
Needed someone to plead their case
Did you speak up
Did you try to defend
The lives they should have had
Or sit quiet
while they met their bitter end
Their spirits will not be silenced
Won’t you hear their plea
Listen and do something
It’s up to you and me
They’ve been taken
Like sheep to the slaughter
But they were someone’s son or daughter
Did you stand up and fight, Life’s a God given right
Knit together in the womb
Known by the Father, long before they would be born
A child, not a choice
Where were you
They need you and me
They deserve to live
Not be taken, torn apart or forsaken
Will you speak up, Will you listen
Can’t you hear and feel
Their innocent cries and begs for mercy
Please love them and save them
Don’t let them die and be forgotten
Where were you
I scream, at the top of my lungs
Where were you
When their lives were being taken
Did you stand up and cry out
Use your voice where they cannot
Or sit back, and let it happen
My voice won’t be silenced
My heart won’t be stilled
Please, listen, hear, take heed and stop this ill will
Save their hearts that would be stilled
We’ve been charged to protect them
Love and not neglect them
So where were you Where were you
Thrown away, And torn apart
It breaks the Father’s heart
Where were you, Where were you
We are charged to protect them
Be mighty soldiers to deflect the harm
That would come
Where were you, Where were you
jWinters
Be Silent Be Still
Be silent, be still
and listen for his voice
He speaks in many ways
When we’re not making noise
Perhaps through a dream
Or a gesture or letter from a friend
Maybe in our circumstance
But we just can’t pretend
Not to hear, listen dear
You might feel it in a tug
That pulls upon your heart
In the dead of night
When you’re alone in the dark
When sleep won’t come
And your mind won’t stop
When he draws you to his word
At the most random time
When you feel like you’ve been given
The biggest task on the block
Or you might receive a warning
Of a place you shouldn’t go
Or something not to do
He’s there in the still and quiet
When you’re not making noise
Will you sit still and listen
Because you have the choice
Are you wholly in his word
Spending time upon your knees
Cause that’s when you’ll realize
That he’s in the in between
He has a higher calling
And he calls upon his own
When things aren’t making sense
And you’re on the longest trek
He’s got the road mapped out
And the way planned ahead
So be silent and be still
And listen for his voice

I am sure the Bible does state that but which Bible?
The Old Testament, New Testament, Torah? Koran?
In any case, your typical left-winger or new-ager simply ignores the bible.
I am trying to use a somewhat rational argument to persuade them.
I think eventually, science will prove many that spiritual beliefs are true. Many things in the Bible will be proven out but not everything in the bible will be proven true. Additionally, there are heretical books left out of the bible that also contain some truth. If you want to better understand the origin of modern man, read the Book of Enoch. In it, you see that it was probably the "gods" and not God that modified our DNA in order to create a slave race of tool using hominoids.
What we all need to do is develop our spiritual antenna and our sense of right and wrong. Occasionally, when someone mis-uses the bible to fuel hate, we need to watch out for that. However, my main point is that spiritual disinformation coming from the entities within spiritual dimensions is potentially harmful.
Finally, anyone experimenting with "spirit molecules" in things like DMT or hallucinogenic mushroom needs to be in a good place with God before they dive in.
A strong foundation in Christian prayer is not a bad starting point. There is a lot of testimony on how people are protected from demonic entities after calling out for God's help.
Here is my favorite prayer that protects me from the terrors of the night. If you use it and believe it, you are likely to feel the power of God move through you.
“God I put myself under your protection.
As long as I have faith in you, no harm can come to me.”
Thank you for this. I've been recently 'activated' on my spiritual awakening (after, in retrospect having been called since my teens) and hearing other accounts from folks who have been on it longer is very inspiring and informative.
I will still use my discernment with all of it and intuit if it fits my truth, but so far a LOT of the common threads regarding our genetic biokind (WE ARE)+higher self (I AM) consciousness' appearing across many of our world's major religious texts to degrees. So far in my research, Buddha Siddhartha Gautama seems to have the most undefiled version after centuries of who-knows-what modifications made. The Coptic Gospel of Thomas has also been super resonant with me, and convinced me that Jesus (I prefer Yeshua) was an avatar sent to actually save our species from
I am working on achieving repose ("working" on not working; dispossessing myself of desire/noise of the senses/physical vessel) during meditation and am making tangible strides in my day to day living my life in a love-centered way and cannot wait to be met with more opportunities to share this with others because these 'tools' are truly available to anyone in our human family.
I don't mean to rant, though I don't have many opportunities to share my spiritual work and ideas with folks that even somewhat know that the answers are inward moreso than out (at least at first--most folks, I believe, never look inward their entire lives and live in ignorance of what they could be!)

Step two is follow up with goodness.
Thank you, much obliged, King!
No more prominent, just more obvious to eyes, ears, hearts and minds that have become opened
Those whose hearts and minds the Lord God opens through his Son Jesus
I've experienced the same thing as you.
There are trickster entities fucking up the human mind and consciousness right now.
This is why I keep my mouth generally shut about what's going on with all that. It's hard, you want to shout some of the info from the rooftop.
