Alex Grey and Mind Parasites

(The following derives from a discussion I had with Alex Grey in 2005.)

Alex was in a loft in Boston where a colleague of Timothy Leary had given a bunch of people, most of them quite inexperienced, LSD. Alex had also taken LSD. The social environment of Alex’s trip was extremely chaotic----some people were laughing uncontrollably, some were vomiting, some were groping other people, and there was no one who was managing the chaos. Alex began to have an out-of-body experience, found himself hovering above the weirdness of what was going on in the loft. On some different plane he saw ...
Energy Sappers
© 2006 by Jonathan Zap
The phenomenon of “energy sappers,” of people who are energy drainers, is well known to many from real life experience. The most insightful discussion of the subject I have to date encountered is in Breakthrough to Creativity, a wonderful book on parapsychology which was copyrighted in 1967 by Shafica Karagulla, MD. By an odd non coincidence, Dr. Karagulla was George Noory’s (of Coast -to-Coast AM fame) aunt. Unfortunately, Dr. Karagulla’s life was cut short by a car accident and we lost a leading pioneer in parapsychological research.
The discussion of “energy sappers” is to be found in a chapter entitled, “Energy Fields Around Human Beings.”
Dr. Karagulla summarizes the testimony of ...

"Are you willing to look at the feeders?" And suddenly I wasn't so sure if I was willing. I sensed the edge of the abyss, but I knew my life only allowed for one possible answer and I willed myself to say,
"Yes."
"Then look down."
I looked down and saw that which unraveled me for several long heartbeats before I was willing to let what my eyes scanned enter my mind. Attached to my body, coming from my body, through my body, was a broken lattice of dark filaments, undulating filaments like a broken spider web spun of black silk, moving chaotically like ...

Disclaimer: Notice the title of this piece is “Vision at Chichén Itzá,” not “Vision about Chichén Itzá.” I make no claim here, as in absolutely no claim, that what I experienced at Chichén Itzá is a revelation of anything about the ancient or modern Mayan people or culture. What follows are a few highlights of my recent trip to Mexico, including a visionary experience at Chichén Itzá.
Tulum, Mexico: September 25, 2004
Yesterday was a blur of travel---all the papers that needed stamping, the waiting in lines, the identity and security checks, the bureaucracy, the seatbelted claustrophobia of confinement to an airborne plastic tube where I breathed recycled air and ate pretzels out of bags of gold mylar, the ...

A Gnostic View of Mind Parasites

"Ghost of a Flea" by William Blake
The Sick Rose
O rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm.
That flies in the night In the howling storm.
Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy.
—William Blake from Songs of Innocence and Experience, Plate 37
The Sick Rose, a poem William Blake wrote about two hundred years ago, begins my essay Mind Parasites, Energy Parasites and Vampires. Our species is at a critical evolutionary nexus and one of the most crucial of all tasks that lie before us, maybe even more crucial than finding alternative energy or doing something about global warming, is to put the invisible worm under the magnifying glass of attention and understanding. This invisible worm may be that strange unknown constant that corrupts our ...
Energy Parasites----the Sagan View article copyright 2006 by Jonathan Zap
(I apologize for the formatting irregularities which we are not presently able to fix)
Entity Possession---Freeing the Energy Body of Negative Influences by Samuel Sagan, M.D. (clairvision.org) is an important examination of the energy/mind parasite phenomena by an M.D. with a great deal of clinical experience. The book contains numerous interesting transcripts of dialogues between Dr. Sagan and patients he treats for energy parasites.
Essentially, Dr. Sagan believes that most parasitic entities are rather mechanical “ astral fragments ” remaining from deceased human beings. These fragments attach themselves to a human host and drain vitality. Typically their effects are observable as cravings for specific types of food, alcohol and other drugs, sexual compulsions and exacerbated negative emotions.
Early on, Dr. Sagan ...
The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts
Review copyright 2006 by Jonathan Zap
(Please excuse any erratic formatting, we are working on it, the program we are using seems to have particular trouble with italics and in the source document I used italics to indicate quotes from the book. Some book passages that should be italicized may not be, and other passages which are my own commentary may be mistakenly italicized. In most cases it will be apparent from context what is my commentary and what are the words of Joe Fisher.)
The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts is a spell binding paranormal detective story, elegantly written, and as haunting and irresistible as its title implies. The implications of what British paranormal investigator and writer Joe Fisher discovers, at the apparent cost of ...
Hungry Ghosts Amongst Us?
© 2006 Jonathan Zap
I just had an all night experience in the dream time that seems highly related to the mind parasite subject. Usually we cycle in and out of REM sleep, with larger portions of REM clustering near the end of the sleep cycle. Last night’s dream was unusual, even neurologically, in that it seemed to be continuous throughout most of the night. Dreams, by the way, usually last about as long as they seem to last, the notion of instantaneous dreams----which dates back to an anecdotal account of a Frenchman’s dream in the 19th Century---has been disproved by modern sleep research.
When the dream begins I am hanging out in some sort ...
Shred to Black---Salvia Blue Moon Apocalypse

SALVIA
(Most of the information in this section comes from the erowid.org website. )
Salvia divinorum is a psychoactive medicine of Mexican origin, one that has over the last decade boomed in popularity here in the states. It is a recreational herb with which some of you will be all too familiar, and others less familiar. This article is here to illustrate the story of my most recent and probably final encounter with Salvia divinorum, to present the powerful, profound, and often frightening repercussions of the medicine. But first, some basic information on Salvia:
