SWIM doesnt know what to think of this, he has a quite sharp sceptical side to him, but he is also open to yet unexplained things, and the shaman had absolutely no reason to lye to him, he didnt say this to anybody else, he wouldnt get anything from SWIM or anything like that.. Interesting in any case.
SWIM has this image on his mind of this sort of thing you mention, sort of like as if reality is made of these superimposed layers of different dimensions.. Like an alex grey drawing, where entities are 'hovering around'. and its as if the entities are somehow magnetically pulled by the intention or the essence of things that happen in our world. So SWIM imagines how for example some entities must be 'sucking' on the anger of some people, or how when people do good here it also somehow reflects there. Whether this is all literally true or not, dont know, but it does seem 'reasonable' somehow
Ive been able to do what that shaman has done as well... its not hard to sort of tune into another mind stream, and some times it just happens. one evening SWIM did a 5meo circle and did this for a young man... told him every thing he experienced... and then gave him guidance as to what he needed to do... which the young man did and it was just the thing to spark this young guys life in the right direction for pursuing his spiritual path. It seems things happen some what indirectly and i have a feeling that the whole has a larger intention which we are just most of the time unconscious of. part of working with DMT and aya SWIM thinks is to make this a more conscious process, by developing our intuitive abilities. Entheogens SWIM feels are a great catylist for this, and for exploring transpersonal states. but its not a given... SWIM feels that one has to have some discipline as well as actually bring some techniques to the plate to explore these latent attributes that we have. If one doesnt SWIM feels that you just spend a lot of time witnessing your own subconscious projections onto the mind screen of consciousness. For example some FOAF that swim new once took cubes with SWIM once and just saw hello kitty fractals all night... SWIM was also shown by aya once that the mind very creatively forms many of our experiences subconsciously much like dreams, and one needs to develop certain methods of looking past that, and getting a reign on these subconscious projection or else one is just viewing ones imagination instead of whats actually out their in spirit... the entities your talk to could just be a projection of your own subconscious, much like in dreams where every one in your dream is just a projection of your subconscious until one learns to dream lucidly.
Yeah there are totally different levels or layers, wave forms, vibrations, frequencies what ever you want to call it... its all mind, its all consciousness and its kinda like a radio you can tune your senses into different frequencies if you will ( for lack of a better analogy) and there are beings that are only conscious of existing on that level. Though they exist on all levels, just like we do. the more you become aware of the qualities of these different levels of existence and how you exist in them your self the more mastery you have of going from state to state frequency to frequency and working from those levels for effecting change in the world, or for communication. Whne i started out I was pretty connected to the level that just random dead folk exist at ones that dont know that they are part of somthing larger, because i didnt know I was part of something larger as well, spent a lot of time with some pretty negative entities as well as some good ones... i felt lost out there out of control emotionally... it wasnt until a guide a spirit that works from a higher level of consciousness *if you will* kinda shined some light on swim in a mushroom experience that swim could move out of that frequency for lack a better word and start exploring other levels of self and the whole...
and yeah there are some folk that are just feelign weak they suffer from ignorence and have a lot of pain and they can fall prey to spirits that exist on that level of being as well who can perpetuate it, cause sickness, and perpetuate problems in ones life.
SWIM sat in ceremony once with this woman who just started getting older and older in front of me...it was really strange SWIM couldnt figure out what SWIM was seeing.. So swim just kinda tuned into her with that question in mind and then payed carefull attention to what ever happened next... Swim picked up that there was a dead family member coming into her body when she smoked and vented her stressers verbally, ie started bitching... SWim tuned into the dead folk a bit more and saw that it was an aunt.. swim asked the woman who her aunt that died was ( intuatively he just felt to ask that) and bam it was great aunt Rosey who died of lung cancer from smoking, she was very domineering and controlling and was coming into this womans body to help her so the spirit thought but was causing her and emotional stress... SWIM did an "entity release" swim had no idea what swim was doing swim just trusts his intuition and this voice came out of SWIm very demanding and strong dirrected at the old lady, WOW wim could see the old lady standing behind the younger woman with her hands of the younger womans shoulders and when addressed she looked shocked that swim coudl see herr.. swim then did this sort of negotiation and helped the older lady move to a higher level while at the same time helping the younger lady figure out why the great aunt was trying to help her but was harming her int he process... BLEW SWIMS MIND...
During that same night swim started to notice lots of buddhist imagry in his visions and the word nyngma kept coming to him... so he tuned into that... and all of a sudden these old buddhist monks where there and they told him they were fro the nyngma lineage of buddhism and that they had helped him with the "exorcism" for lack a better word, they then helped the woman through swim to embody her Yidam, swim had no idea nor had ever heard the word yidam before or knew what it ment and this woman was transformed into this lion headed goddess, her face was superimpossed with this perrfect buddhist scuplture esq quality to it was gorgous and you just felt humbled in that pressence... the monks then explained to SWIM ( telepathicly i guess you would say) how there are different layers of self the higher ones being connected to your Yidam they called it which is your personal diety...
SO... swim learned alot more that night too and saw much more.. SWIM went and found this buddhist freind and old man who KNEW tons of tibetan buddhism and asked him about that stuff SWIM had seen... and to his surprise the nyngma lineage in buddhism is the MOST esoteric of all of them... focuing on ritual magic performances ect and doing things like exorcisms and doign really intense work with yidam empowerments ect... he also confirmed to me that what they told swim about the yidam was also true... blew swims mind... needless to say swim devoted some time to studying tibetian buddhism for a while. but these sorts of things happen to swim all the time now... and have FOR A LONG TIME... its still shocking and mind blowing though!
the last interesting entity occurance that happened that blew swims mind was swim took too see be... with swims some one who isnt his lady (SOWIHL? lol) and she and he both saw what we were communicated to by this entity as her ancestoral spirit, a fairy like elemental spirit of fire. we learned that her norweigen ancestors used to have house spirits or family protector spirits and this was a spirit of the smithy of fire and metal. SWIUS looked up the name in a book on fairy folk just out of curiousity ( we actually went out and bought it because of this expereince, swim had never had fairy folk expereinces before... and low and behold there the spirit was even a drawing of the guy... same name and spelling and everything...
one of the things that keeps swim going in life is exploring these mysteries, this world of spirit, there is no greater joy in life for swim.
JORKEST... sounds like your relationship with the spirits is strong thats awesome!
