Damned near scared me to death
I was sound asleep one night. I had to be at work the next morning. It was early, the house was quiet. Something jolted me awake. My body stiffened. I had no control over my movements. My body tingled and the hair on my head and body stood up. I felt an energy-like static electricity all over my body.
I lay there helpless and terrified. The terror ratcheted when I heard a disembodied voice, “ I’m going to kill you and your entire family.” The voice I heard was calm and matter-of-fact.
Was it real, or was it programming?
My mom was still alive at the time. When I was younger I went to Charismatic church services with her. “Binding Satan in the name of Jesus,” and casting out Demons were things I grew used to hearing about.
When the voice grew silent, the static electricity left my body and the paralysis ended. The voice scared me and it pissed me off. I don’t know if it did any good, but I started to rebuke Satan.
At least it made me feel better, so it couldn’t have hurt
I rebuked the bastard and invoked the name of Jesus. I ordered Satan out of my face and home. As I said, It might have been a waste of time, but it made me feel better.
I haven’t thought about that night in a while. I have been listening to “The Huberman Podcast. Dr. Huberman has been conducting Interviews with Dr. Mathew Walker Ph.D. Dr. Walker wrote, “ Why We Sleep.”
Sleep Paralysis serves a purpose, but it’s scary to wake up like that
It’s a wide-ranging series of Interviews that had me taking notes. There is a name for what happened to me that night. I Googled “ Sleep Paralysis” and found a lot of interesting information.
What happened to me that night has happened to other people as well. Unsurprisingly, other cultures attribute the event to witches and Demons. It raises the question, was I dreaming? or was there a real demon threatening me?
Fortunately, it doesn’t happen too often
All I know is that I never again had sleep paralysis. I still have nightmares on occasion and I sleepwalk. I haven’t walked in my sleep or had a nightmare in a while.
Sleep paralysis serves a purpose. If we weren’t immobilized, we would act out our dreams and run the risk of hurting ourselves. Sleep Paralysis happens as we fall into, or out of deep sleep. Twenty-five to fifty percent of Americans have had sleep paralysis at least once.
Suppose you have never experienced it. I can tell you it makes an impression. That night happened thirty-five years ago. I still remember it like it happened last night.
Final Thought:
There is more to reality than what we see every day. There is the external world we interact with and there’s the world inside our heads. There is also a spiritual world. I glimpsed the dark spiritual realm that night and I never want to experience it again.
