Ghosts Among Us - James Van Praagh [42]
At that moment, Jorge said, “Thank you, James. I no longer think of my son as dead.”
WHEN GHOSTS DRAIN YOUR ENERGY
If there are energy healers, it stands to reason that there are also energy drainers. Energy suckers are everywhere, and I am not just talking about ghosts. Is there someone in your life who is constantly depressed, angry about the world, jealous, always in a bad mood, pessimistic, doubtful, power-hungry, mistrustful, or manipulating? I refer to these individuals as “psychic vampires” because they unconsciously drain your life force with their unrelentingly negative attitudes. Most of them are not even aware that their energy extends beyond them and hurts others along their path. They can leave you exhausted, depressed, and debilitated.
Psychic vampires usually are self-involved individuals who feel self-important. Their bad attitudes actually slow down their vibratory rates and attract unevolved ghostly energies. Ghosts can draw energy from electrical items such as televisions, radios, microwaves, lights, and phones by pulling energy from the electromagnetic field surrounding these objects. Unfortunately, appliances don’t hold enough charge, so ghosts must seek energy from somewhere else. The most energy possible comes from the living. That means you! The human body has the exact type of electrical circuitry that is familiar to a ghost, and so it’s easy for a ghost to plug into our energy and take it. They do so through the holes and leaks that appear in an individual’s chakra system when it has been weakened and depleted by negative thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
When ghostly energies attach to humans, they can be very scary, as I saw in the shoe store in Sydney. The Ghost Whisperer doesn’t even come close to depicting some of the darker forces I have seen. You would be shocked to know that many people who behave in horrific ways are being impressed or even possessed by dark and unevolved entities. Ghosts that attach to humans simply drain energy. Any form of chronic poor health can be a sign of ghostly attachment. Unfortunately, those with ghostly attachments don’t relate any of these ills to their own negative mind-set. However, ghostly attachments can drain energy to the point of causing the living to suffer accidents, injuries, and other misfortunes.
THAT’S SHOWBIZ!
As you know, I have worked for many years in television as an on-air talent and producer. I have met some incredibly nice, light, wonderful, and loving Hollywood personalities, executives, and crew members. At the same time, it is impossible for a psychic like me to wait in studios, agent offices, and TV executive suites and not witness many disturbing scenes involving Hollywood’s most celebrated people. Many have risen to the top with driving energies that are mean-spirited and malevolent. To them, it doesn’t matter how they got to their position or what they have to do to stay there. They have very little integrity or mutual respect for other human beings. Their lives are all about their lust for power and ego gratification. Power might come to them—but often at a very high cost.
When I was a child, I loved the musical Damn Yankees about a major league baseball player who makes a deal with the devil so that his team, the Washington Senators, will win the pennant. It’s the old Mephistopheles concept of selling your soul to the devil for something you greatly desire. I am not sure if I liked the music or the idea more, but the show really grabbed my interest. Hollywood reminds me very much of Damn Yankees. So many will sell their souls, identities, and morality to gain power, unaware that they have started a fire that in time will burn out of control. The need for power is created by fear. Fear can be a great motivator, but it also can be one of the greatest destructive forces we know.
Whenever I have to go somewhere in Hollywood where a lot of people are gathered, whether it’s an award show, dinner, or TV set, I use a series of meditative and visualization
