For some reason the concept of eternal damnation never held much impact for me. Perhaps my soul knows it is not a reality.
A relationship with the Divine has always held promise and love and blessing for me, never fear.
That’s all I have to say about eternal damnation, but evil is another matter.
For a long long time – most of my life – I did not believe in evil. I believed, and still do, that most people are based in love. Life can cause us harm and lead us astray …and one can lose their way, following false “gods.” Is that evil? I choose not to perceive it that way.
Regarding individuals who seem predetermined to cause only havoc and harm, I have no answer. I would have to know them personally to be convinced that any person is evil. So far I haven’t met anyone I would bestow that description upon.
After I learned to assist the dead in crossing over to the light, I started to encounter beings that seemed to be strictly “power over” type beings. They want to and manage to control other souls for their benefit. I’m not sure exactly what the benefit is – but I quickly learned to increase my personal protection. I was also guided to “look away,” and that is all that is required for me to avoid them.
I do not practice this work without being accompanied by a specific helping spirit that I’ve been directed to have accompany and guide me in this work.
Because I have a passion to help others, it’s my natural inclination to help. However, these beings are not looking for help. Looking away allows me not to be drawn in by what I now call dark beings. I don’t pretend to understand them, but I do recognize them when I encounter them. I have the ability to banish them from a person or location, and to free any souls under their control. I then assist those freed souls to cross over if they want to. Otherwise, they will have to be banished as well if I am doing a Shamanic Clearing.
I have a friend who has been deeply challenged by life in this physical realm. She was raised in loss, abandonment, betrayal, and abuse. In more recent years, she been tempted by the darkness, or evil power. She sees or is shown avenues where she could gain power. She has discussed it with me many times, and I have worried for her. I pulled her back with reason and love, but more was required.
She recently experienced a healing process that seems to have mitigated a great deal of the pain she has been carrying AND has eliminated this connection to the darkness. I am extremely happy and hopeful on her behalf.
I have known one other person who has shared with me his experience of a few “offers” from the dark side. He declines all such offers or pressures, and has on occasion called God and Jesus to his aid. Happily, this has always worked for him.
Another person I know repeatedly experienced the presence of a dark being in his home after looking at pornography. His partner experienced the being as well, and their dog whined. I advised him to banish it with words. It vanished, but then returned.
This was before my ability to help. Fortunately, I was able to find another person to do a clearing of his building.
During my spiritual search, I explored Wicca for a while, but I was not comfortable with the concept of spells. Were curses far behind? It seemed they might be.
I’m confident that there are many Wiccans who practice only in love.
I am grateful that I have not been tempted by or even aware of evil for most of my life.
It is only by my commitment to helping others that I have come to acknowledge it’s existence.
