What if the anger, fear, or heaviness you’re carrying… isn’t yours?

In this video, I share three unforgettable experiences with non-physical entities—one that hijacked my energy, one that latched onto my solar plexus, and another that felt like a ghostly predator on the prowl.

These aren’t abstract concepts—I lived them. 

And what I learned might change the way you view energy, emotion, and consciousness forever.

You’ll learn:
• How entity attachments actually work
• Why they show up during ayahuasca & altered states
• Why I don’t call it spiritual warfare—and what I believe is really going on
• How to identify, clear, and protect your energy field

I also cover key practices like meditation, prayer, and energetic hygiene—and what to look for in a practitioner if you need support.

And if you’ve had a strange or powerful experience with an entity, I’d love to hear your story.

Hey, I’m Ian Vogel—host of Alternate Timelines. My journey started on a small farm in the midwest, where I always felt a little out of place. After years of skepticism and even a stint as an atheist, a near-death experience changed my perspective on everything. Since then, I’ve explored plant medicine, past life memories, and the mysteries of consciousness. Now, I’m sharing those experiences to help others navigate their own awakening. Through real stories, deep conversations, and wild explorations of the unknown, we’re building a community where it’s okay to question reality. You’re not alone in the unknown. 👽✨

Ian:

at some point in all of our lives, we will come into contact with a non-physical being or entity. I used to get a lot of questions about what are they, what can I do to protect myself? Why are they coming into my space and interacting with me, and how can I tell whether or not they are positive or negative or trying to have a negative or detrimental impact on my life? This is a very nuanced and potentially deep conversation that I know a lot of people in the spiritual space are gonna have their own ideas and opinions on. And I think that's totally cool, and I think the more that we can share our perspectives and add our voices to the conversation, the more people can get a deeper understanding and gain a broader perspective on what these non-physical entities or beings could be. What's up? I'm Ian with Alternate Timelines and I think the best place for me to start is to just share some of my personal experiences over the last 10 years. And really over the course of my life, I've had numerous encounters with different non-physical beings and entities. So in this video I'm gonna share three different and very distinct, experiences that I've had. When you're done watching this video, you will have a very different perspective on what entities and non-physical beings are and what they can be. And I'll also share some tips on how to identify and potentially manage unwanted energies or entities or non-physical beings that you may encounter at different points in your life. Beyond my own personal experience of dealing with entities not only around me, but ones that managed to make their way inside of me. During my time as a psychedelic ceremony facilitator, I witnessed many people who were going through their own processes and learning how to deal with and manage these different entities and non-physical beings themselves. Whether they realized that that was what was going on or not. As I get into the stories, I'm just gonna use the word entity as a catchall phrase that will pertain to potentially many different kinds of beings and entities and energies. They don't all come from the same place. They don't have the same origin, they don't have the same intention, and they don't all function and behave the same way. I think it's important to point out that when somebody is talking about an entity or a demon or a ghost or a non-physical being of some sort, they could potentially be talking about many different specific kinds of beings. This first story is about, an entity that was attached to me that is probably gonna fit the mold and the definition and the idea of what many people will think about when they think about a spiritual entity or attachment. So back in 2017, uh, probably about a year after I'd started working with psychedelics pretty heavily and towards the beginning point of my spiritual journey. I started to recognize that I was feeling aggressive and I was having these thoughts and emotions of anger and just aggression. And for me that was really uncharacteristic because I've always been super chill and very laid back so this shift in my personality and my emotions was really noticeable. I have never been one to road rage or want to start physical altercations with people, but I found myself in these situations over and over again, and I just had this feeling like something was off inside of me and I couldn't put my finger on it. This went on for a couple of months and thank goodness I was able to maintain a cool head. I didn't fly off the handle and yell at anybody or get in any fist fights, but it got to a point where I realized like, I gotta figure this out. So I signed up for an ayahuasca ceremony down in Arizona. Next thing you know, I'm out in the desert in a geodesic dome drinking ayahuasca with a bunch of mostly strangers. The ceremony kicked off and I started feeling really terrible. I got my pale thinking, okay, I'm gonna purge, gonna get this thing out. Keep trying to purge. Keep trying to purge. And it would come up to here. And it, I just couldn't get it out. I asked the facilitators for help. They tried everything they could, agua de florida, They chanted over me and at a certain point, the person who was leading the ceremony came over and he was blowing mapacho smoke onto my crown. And as he did that, things became clear and it was like there was a spotlight. And I noticed and I recognized, I could see that there was something or somebody in my stomach. And I say somebody, because I was able to communicate with the being that was lodged in my stomach. It was almost like a spotlight was shown on it and I said, oh, I see you. It's okay. Yeah, there is an entity or a being inside of me. It just clicked. It's like, okay, yeah. Alright. All right buddy. Time to get out. Let's throw you up. And there was a back and forth communication, a a telepathic, nonverbal sort of communication. I was like, okay, yeah, let's, okay, let's get outta here. And he goes, no, I'm not going anywhere. I was like, okay. What? No, like you, you gotta go. This is my body. This is my physical vehicle. Uh, you're, you're just not, you're not welcome here. You can't be here. He said, Nope, I've been here for a few weeks now. I like it here. I'm not going anywhere. And we started to negotiate, but he didn't want to go. And I say he, because it was a masculine energy. And as I'm having this dialogue with this entity inside of me trying to convince it to leave, I start to have this download, a realization, and I can see its interactions with me. At that time in my life, I was seeing somebody and at that point, it became abundantly clear to me that this entity that was inside of me came from the person that I was with. And not only that, it had been with multiple hosts before that I could see the energy and kind of the background of this entity and this energetic being. It was really kind of like a parasite. It would go from host to host to host, and it would find people whose lives were good and who were in a stable situation. Basically, it would go to a party that was really nice and chill and it would start to wreak havoc through expressing itself through these aggressive behaviors. It would ruin relationships. It would get people in fights. It would get people, kicked outta their jobs and get people to scream at their bosses and get fired. It's mo was to really crash the party, and by the time the person's life had started to deteriorate from the expression of these aggressive behaviors, the entity would be like, all right, I'm outta here. Time to find a new party or a new host, or a more comfortable living situation. And I didn't recognize when this entity attached to my energy field. It was very subtle when it came in, but then it started to express later. And because it had been a part of my energy field and had been attached to me for several weeks, it was kind of embedded and I couldn't just forcibly eject it at will. So I'm in the ceremony, having this dialogue, having this negotiation, and I said, I'm getting you out of here like you cannot stay here. I said, I've, I've sent you love, like I, I see you, I recognize you, I acknowledge you as a being who is worthy of acknowledgement you have your place and your role to play in this reality, and you just can't stay here. This vehicle belongs to me and this isn't a good fit. You gotta go. And he was really content. He's like, no, I'm not going anywhere. At that point in the ceremony, there were some extenuating circumstances, let's say a major disturbance that required my attention, and somebody essentially needed help. So I said to the entity, I said, okay, we're gonna address this tomorrow. It's, maybe it's not gonna happen tonight, but we're doing this for three nights, so at some point we're gonna have to negotiate a way and figure out how to, to move you out of me, and we're, we're gonna figure this out. And he said, I am not going into a pale. I said, we're gonna figure this out. And that was the end of my interactions with that being on the first night. Second night rolls around, we get down to it. I'm like, alright, I'm going into this with the strong intention of purging this entity out of me and being free of this. Throughout the course of that day, I became very clear on what had happened and what needed to be done. Get to the ceremony, sit down, do our thing, drink the ayahuasca, and I get ready to engage with this being and he's not there. And I was a bit surprised by this because he was very insistent upon not wanting to leave. I started thinking about what happened and I was shown that essentially this entity, rather than going through the ordeal of having to be purged out of me, decided to jump ship during the day. Um, before that ceremony between the first ceremony and that night, I had gone with a couple of the people from the ceremony into town and we'd gone to a couple of thrift shops and, uh, crystal shops and had just been out and about a little bit. And I realized that at some point in that day, that being left my energy field and attached to somebody else, I have no idea who, I have no idea where or when. All I know is that at the end of the first night, he was still attached to me. At the beginning of the second night he was gone and he jumped ship. And that was the extent of my experience with that entity. And throughout the entire encounter, I never got a feeling of malicious intent. I got more of a sense that this was just a being who was just kind of like an obnoxious dude who liked to crash parties. I don't know how, how else to put it. It's like not like he was trying to hurt me or trying to ruin my life. It's almost like that's just the role that he played. And it was like very unconscious. There was a consciousness there, but it was, it seemed very limited. It wasn't very expansive or broad or deep, even though it was sentient. It seemed very kind of one dimensional and focused on like, yeah, next person, next person, next person. Doing my thing, doing my thing. In a similar way, how many people just kind of. Go through the motions throughout their day in a very unconscious way that felt like what this entity was doing. Although it wasn't a pleasant experience dealing with this entity and having it attached to my energy body and everything that went along with that, again, I didn't sense a negative intent or a malicious intent. And when it comes to these sorts of situations with entities or beings, I really try to avoid attaching the label good or bad, or positive or negative. My personal point of view is that these are experiences and I believe that every experience. That I have happens for a reason and that there is positive intent behind everything that happens in my life. I believe that the underlying fundamental energy of everything in existence, including everything that happens to me, comes from a place of love and the challenging experiences that I have to go through are on some level given to me by a loving creator as a challenge for me to overcome so that I can become a better version of myself, more stronger and wiser as a result of going through these experiences. I choose to frame every experience in my life. As a learning experience that is going to benefit me in the long run. Now, that's not to bypass or negate the experiences. The experiences are gonna happen regardless of how I choose to frame them and and what meaning I choose to attach to them. But for me, the mindset of everything is a learning experience has been the most useful way for me to be able to navigate my life. I just feel more at ease and more calm, and even though I know challenging things are gonna come up, I also trust and believe that something good will come out of them. I know not everybody has that belief and that's totally cool. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and perspective. And that is why I don't use language like spiritual warfare or spiritual attack because I just don't perceive things in that way. Sure. I have encountered entities and different energies that were malicious and of a very low vibrational nature. They did not have my best interest at heart, and I believe those experiences were presented to me and that I had to have those experiences in order to learn and grow. If there wasn't something for me to learn on some level, I wouldn't have had those experiences. What we resonate with are the experiences that are going to be attracted to us and what we will experience. How we choose to perceive our experience and the world around us is very much our choice. I saw this on multiple occasions in ceremonies where at certain points things would come up. An energy or an entity would enter the collective space and many people would recognize it and interact with it, or at least be able to sense its presence. And in the morning I would talk to different people and everybody would have a different perspective. One person might say, oh, I was under spiritual attack, and another person might say, Ooh, I sensed something that was dark. Or, you know, any number of ways of categorizing the same energy. Everybody has their own perspective and their own language to describe these things even in situations where it was one energy that would roll through. Many people would have completely, often, very different perspectives on it. Not to say one person's perspective is right or wrong, what somebody perceives as a demon, somebody else might perceive as a ghoul or a spiritual attack. It's all fine and valid. There's not one way to perceive the world that's better than any other, from my point of view. Now, this next experience that I had was similar to the last one in some ways, but also very different. So I was facilitating an ayahuasca ceremony in Northern California. It was a three night ceremony. First night went off without a hitch. Second night we get into it and I sense something is off. At this point in my journey, this is three or four years after the prior experience that I described, I had a much greater awareness and I was much more sensitive to different energies and things that might attach to my energy body. So we get into night number two and I feel off something's not right. I pick something up. Alright? So I go outside to purge and I'm standing under the moon trying to work it up, you know, get ready to vomit. And the message that I get from Ayahuasca was, no, you are not going to purge this up. And that comes as a surprise to me because at this point, I've done this many times, and this is the protocol. You pick something up, you bring it outside to give it back to Mother Earth to be healed, and for it to be released and to be transmuted into something beautiful. I believe Mother Earth has the capacity to do that at a scale that we cannot even comprehend. But this situation was different. And Ayahuasca showed me that there was an energy attached to my solar plexus chakra. And kind of like the last entity that I talked about, I got this whole download and I was shown this story of what this thing was and how it came to me. This was more of what you would call a thought form. Back in the 18 hundreds in New York City, there was a mother and a son, and it was just the two of them. The father wasn't present. I don't know the whole situation, but I was shown a mother and a son. And the relationship between the mother and the son was really challenging. The mother was very dominating over the son and every time he tried to express himself or just be himself, the mother would shut it down and belittle him. And that had an effect on his solar plexus chakra that is the root of our, our willpower and the seat of our willpower that energy is present and comes from our solar plexus chakra. So this young man over the course of his life, every time he would think of his mother, he would feel this pit, what he would call like this pit in his stomach. He held so much resentment towards his mother and just the way she treated him and how he was never able to express himself. It created a blockage in his solar plexus chakra. Where your attention goes, your energy flows. And he was essentially feeding and growing this energy mass inside of him. He spent so much time and energy focusing on these negative thoughts and these resentments around his mother, that this energy mass that was attached to his solar plexus chakra started to take on the characteristics and the personality of his mother. Through constantly focusing on the resentment he held towards his mother and all these negative emotions. This man effectively manifested this parasitic thought form entity that had the characteristics and some of the personality of his mother and somehow, some way he managed to pass that thought form entity onto somebody else and onto somebody else and onto somebody else. Until eventually at a ceremony in Northern California, I go to hug somebody in the morning after the first ceremony. And through that hug solar plexus to solar plexus, I absorbed and took on that thought form entity. Now, I would not have absorbed and been able to take on that thought form entity if it didn't resonate with me on some level. I have to be honest and I I have to admit that. There was something in me that resonated with that in such a way that I was able to take it on. I was an energetic match or had some sort of wound in my solar plexus chakra that was a resonance to that, that allowed that transference and for that to come to me. So I'm standing outside thinking I'm gonna purge, but then getting message that I'm gonna not purge. So I, I asked Ayahuasca, okay, what is my next step? How do I resolve this? And Ayahuasca told me, said, look at this thing. And it really, the, the visual that I got in the sense that I got, it was like a knot, like a really densely wound, very tight knot of energy. Ayahuasca told me, she said. You are going to resolve this. You're not gonna just throw it up and give it away and get rid of it. You're to a point in your journey where you can manage and you can help bring resolution to these sorts of issues and energetic knots. What I was told was that in order to undo all this resentment and anger and frustration, I had to use the opposite energy to balance it out, love, compassion, understanding that was gonna be the way that I unwound this knot and allow this energy to disperse on its own. So that's what I did. Continued, finished the ceremony. Without a hitch, I could feel this thing inside of me and like I felt really unconfident and like my solar plexus chakra was blocked, like there was something going on there. Affected my confidence, affected how I was able to interact with people, not in a major way. It was very subtle, but it was there. So I go back to my regular life after the ceremony, and for the next three weeks, every morning, doing my spiritual practice, I was doing yoga and meditation every morning. During that time, during my meditation, I would spend 15 or 20 minutes just focusing on that spot on my solar plexus, visualizing this dark clump, this dark mass, and sending it love and acceptance and compassion. Visualizing the mother and the son having positive interactions, loving interactions, being authentic with one another. Just focusing on that, trying to hold that vibration. And I did that every day for about three weeks. It got to a point where I felt like the knot was starting to loosen up. It didn't feel as heavy, it didn't feel as dense. I'm sitting there in my meditation doing my thing, sending it love and compassion, and it kind of cracked open a a bit, and I was able to communicate with what was once seemed like a very stern and angry feminine energy. It softened and I was like, okay, we're getting somewhere. At about that time, I felt an energy come into my energy field. It came from the front and from the right in this direction, and this energy felt like a bouncer, like a big Samoan bouncer. That was the mental image that I got. Just this huge, burly, masculine, no nonsense being. And the message that I got from it was, alright, you've done your part. Now it's my part. This energy is loosened up. It's been opened or released enough to where this fragment of this soul that's been attached to this kind of thought form energy clump has been released. And now it's to a point where I can take it and reunite it with the rest of its soul. And basically this soul can continue onto the next part of its journey'cause it was kind of stuck and attached to the earthly plane through this thought form, en entity energy clump. And I was like, alright, my work here is done. I've done my duty, and I go to interact and to communicate with this consciousness that's, or this fragment of consciousness that's attached to this thought form entity that's inside of me. I said, you're free. Uh, go on with Mr. Bouncer man. And she was like, no, I felt it retract and try to embed itself and attach, and I tried to wind up again and the bouncer was like, Nope, you're coming with me. And I felt both of their energies depart. He went from the direction that he came from. It was like he was taking somebody who had escaped from a mental institution or some sort of psychiatric ward back to a place where that soul and that spirit could have healing and continue on their journey. And that is essentially how that situation resolved, at least my experience with it. I later on became friends with the person whom I picked up that thought farm entity from, and I told them the story of what happened and they said, oh my gosh, it like, clicked with them. I said, after that ceremony, they became, uh, much more outgoing and they, they said they felt more like themselves. After that ceremony. They, their confidence was increased and they felt like they could be themselves. That ceremony for that person was a major turning point. They didn't realize or understand what had happened and that they had given up and gotten rid of this, you know, thing that they had been carrying around. But when I told them the story afterwards, like, oh, that makes perfect sense, and it resonated with them on a deep level. I totally understand why someone might call that a spiritual attack. For me, from my point of view, I see it as a learning experience. Yeah, it was challenging and it wasn't fun carrying around that energy for three weeks. Uh, not whatsoever. And, I learned something from it. I believe that there was some sort of healing in it for me. While I'm not consciously aware of exactly what that healing was or what that wound that, that energy attached to was, I do believe that I benefited from it. And not only that, I learned how to manage these sorts of situations in a more effective way. So for me, this is an example of an experience that I was able to learn and grow from. That's just how I choose to perceive it. The third experience that I had was similar in some ways to the first two, but also again, very different. I say third experience, but in reality there have been many experiences that I've had and, this is just kind of a sampler, and to give you a broader perspective and a taste of what these different entities or beings could potentially be. This next story takes place in Joshua Tree. Now, this would've happened during the same summer as the last experience where I just told you about, so facilitating an ayahuasca ceremony out in the desert in Jay Tree. At some point in the night, I leave the ceremony space to use the restroom or to take out a purge pale, something like that. I'm standing a little ways away observing the sky and just having a moment to myself. I turn and start to walk back towards the ceremony space, and I feel something, it almost felt like a heavy, wet blanket was thrown over me. As I'm slowly making my way back towards the space, it was tangible. I felt it immediately, and it was almost like I just felt my energy go. As this thing felt like it was thrown on my back. I stop and. It's obvious, it's immediately noticeable to me that something is going on. It's like, what is this? I just feel my energy levels plummet and it feels like there's something dense on my shoulders and back and on my head, and I feel like pressure, like from two, felt like two pressure spots on the back of my neck. And I realized like, something is on me. I don't exactly know what to do. I've never had this experience before. So I stand there for a minute trying to figure out what to do. It's like, okay, how do I, I don't know what this is. It feels like something is on me, gotta get it off somehow. What can I do? So I personally have a very wonderful relationship with tobacco. Tobacco and mapacho have always been an ally of mine and a spirit that I've been able to work with that has helped me throughout, uh, many experiences inside and outside of ceremony. So, you know, me and tobacco we're like this. I'm like, okay, tobacco is great at cleansing. I'm going to get some mapacho or have somebody blow mapacho on me, maybe that will help to resolve this situation. I really honestly don't even know what's going on at this point. So I shuffle my way back towards the ceremony space. I come up to the outside of the ceremony space. I walk around to where the facilitators are seated, and I whisper to one of the people who is helping to co-facilitate the ceremony. I said, grab Acho and meet me over there. Do not touch me. And at this point, I'm just slowly shuffling my way over there. Co-facilitator comes over and goes, what's up? I said, I don't know what's up. Something is on me. I'm being drained. Gimme a sola. Just blow as much tobacco smoke on me as you possibly can. That's the only thing I can think of in this moment. So we go through the process blowing smoke on my energy centers and blowing the pacho smoke all over my body. And at some point I feel the energy lift and I feel a lightness again. I feel like I'm free of whatever this thing that had attached to my back. And I go back into the ceremony space, I feel cleansed, I'm grounded. I kind of shake off that experience, go in, and I sit down and I ask the spirit of ayahuasca. I said, what was that all about? And the response I got was there was a predatory, parasitic entity out here. It recognized a situation where there were vulnerable people and it came in to prey on and feed on some vulnerable person in the ceremony. And the medicine said, I saw you standing over there. This parasite was coming in. So I took it and I threw it on you because I knew that you would be able to figure out how to manage this situation. Whereas if this thing would've attached to somebody in the ceremony, somebody who is deep in a process, somebody who doesn't have as much experience and doesn't have the tools to deal with it. It could have been potentially really detrimental to that person. I thought. Fair enough. It was very straightforward and matter of fact, and like, yeah, this thing happened, so I did this and it taken care of, and that was a completely new experience to me. Even though I had plenty of times where I'd interacted with different entities and non-physical beings. That entity, that parasitic energy was different from the first two and it felt more animalistic. Like it, it didn't seem to be sentient. I couldn't communicate with it. The mental image that I got was that of a manta ray, like a big, flat, ethereal, non-physical man Ray that was just playing its part. It was more like an energetic animal. It wasn't thinking like, oh, I'm gonna go get somebody in that ceremony. It was just playing its part. It was just like a leach or any other sort of parasitic animal or physical entity. It was just. Fulfilling a role or a niche in the environment and it was just doing its thing. It was not, again, not in, there's nothing intentional about it. I didn't get a sense of sentience. It was, It was just doing its thing and just like a mosquito that lands on your arm to bite you. It's not trying to suck your blood to hurt you, it's just trying to fulfill its lifecycle and its purpose. The same went with this being that I felt attached to me. I'm glad I was able to get rid of it before there was any sort of long term or lasting effects from it. And again, that situation taught me an important lesson and showed me a different aspect and a different way that entities and non-physical beings can present and what I just described was only three of many different experiences I've had with many different varieties of beings that are not present in the physical form. There's a huge spectrum of potential entities that are out there that people can and do interact with, whether or not they realize it or they aren't aware that the things that are affecting their, their lives may or may not be an entity or a, some sort of external energy G. I'm curious if anybody else out there has had a similar sort of experience or a different kind of experience. Please leave a comment below. I'd love to hear your stories. And really that begs the question, how do we deal with entities and non-physical beings that we may come in contact with, either through a spiritual practice or just at any point in our regular lives? For me, the most foundational and important practice that we can use to improve our awareness and become more sensitive is meditation. Meditation is simply spending time by yourself, being with yourself. It helps you establish where you end and the outside world begins. You just become more in sync with your own energy and when an energy that's not in alignment with your energy comes in and you interact with it, it becomes much easier to identify when there is a disturbance or something that's not in alignment or not in resonance with your energy field. When we become more in tune with and aware of our own energy fields, it becomes much easier to identify when something else is coming in or trying to come in. Another thing that we can do is pray, ask for guidance, ask for help, ask for clarity. We all have spirit teams and guardians and angels and guides around us who want to help and support us. But quite often we don't actually ask for help and our guides and these guardians and spirits and angels around us, they don't want to interfere with our lives, but they will come in if we ask for their assistance. So be open and intentional about communicating with your spirit team. They're there and they wanna help and they can help when we ask for it. And if you still feel like you need additional guidance and support, there are plenty of people out there who specialize in cord cutting and identifying and clearing energies and entities and any sort of energetic blockage that we might have. They may come from an external source. They may be something that's passed down to us, uh, through our lineage and through our family members in one way or another. Most people are dealing with some sort of energetic blockage, and it's not like once you clear all your blockages, you're clear and they're gone forever. It's like our physical and our mental health. These things fluctuate, so does our spiritual and energetic health and our spiritual and energetic fields, things come and go and energetic hygiene and spiritual hygiene is a consistent and constant practice. And the more we keep up with it, the more likely we are to maintain a relatively balanced and clear and stable field. And there are potentially times where it does make sense to reach out to somebody who has, again, specific experience with that that can help us to identify what's going on and clear the issues or residues or energies or whatever is potentially going on with us. If you're gonna work with somebody, I highly recommend reaching out to multiple people and finding somebody you really resonate with. Somebody who will take the time and answer your questions, and somebody who will help you on the backend and someone you know is gonna be there to offer support for, uh, the integration process or to answer your questions that may come up as a result of your session or whatever the relationship looks like. There's lots of great, well-intentioned, skilled practitioners who work in this space, and it is worth your time to do your due diligence and find somebody who, again, you really resonate with and trust will be able to support you on the back end of that. Last, but not least, trust your gut, trust your intuition. Often in my experience, these sorts of situations are wonderful ways for us to further deepen and develop our own intuition and inner knowing. We can start to understand and learn about these different situations we find ourselves in and explore different spaces and really get more in touch with our, our higher selves, and develop our own conscious, intuitive connection directly to source. We don't necessarily need to go to anybody or anything else. We all have all the answers inside of us. So if you're going through something, you're not alone. Everybody is at some point or another dealing with some sort of energetic entity, um, being whatever you wanna call it. So you're, you're not alone. There are resources out there, there are people who can help you. If you resonated with this message or have a story to tell, I'd love to hear it. To me, these sorts of things are fascinating. I'll leave a comment below, but uh, until next time, I love y'all. Peace.
