...harassed by INVISIBLE CREATURE(s) THAT STOP FORWARD THOUGHT AND MESS WITH YOUR IMAGINATION.

BT's, Betsy? Clusters? Demons? Who are the invisible creatures? How do you define them? I must know before I can be of any possible assistance.

Also, disclosure laws require me to inform you that I am both fucked up and going through the motions. Master Da Free John says that all of life's motions are ultimately non-binding modifications of the radiant Love Bliss. I subscribe to the notion that what "I" (ego) am doing is superimposing my interior world upon the prior and always already enlightened Self. However, this onvolves karmic neccesities that span lifetimes. The distinction bewteen Self and ego does allow for moments of liberation. Also, I understand Self more than as an idea. It is a reality and had been so even in moments of near death. In one near death episode, I had to ask if all of my enlightenment ideas were ideas or reality. In that moment I saw that they were real and they became an abiding reality. Nonetheless, my insight does not give me immunity from age, disease, threat, or anything else. It simply allows me a counterpoint from which to more powerfully interpret my experience.

Of course, all of this can make you fucked up and insane and even that is in God's will. Sometimes it is better to be an unenlightened meat body. Yet the Work keeps pulling me back in. It has chosen me for something. So far it has only been frustration and nothing remarkable. I am tormented because I cannot do what I want. Instead, I have a dimensional self (or is it space cooties?) that asserts itself powerfully. I wish I could be the person I am in my imagination, but I am not. I am not extraordinary. I am unemployed, middle-aged, and I have a bad back that I need to treat with pain medicine and will probably have to for the rest of my life. Is this not fucked?
