When Spirits Influence…
“Understanding only helps a heart that is pure. If a heart seeks me, then understanding will aid them to do so better. But if a heart loves ways that are dysfunctional, then understanding will do nothing to change their ways...
It is not understanding that leads people to repentance, it is the kindness of God.”
Jesus continued, “This is why you can never argue someone into the kingdom, indeed argument changes no one’s mind on anything, unless they are already hungry. Unless they are already seeking and open to change, then arguments can hold sway over them, but only then. It is not the tool, but the state of a person that causes them to change. If one is hungry they can find food in many places and of many different types. One can eat many types of food and from different sources to satisfy hunger.”
Then my mind began interrupting, wondering why Jesus said he was the true bread of heaven seeming to imply that he was the only bread…
“People are not channels for one spirit only. I can speak through donkeys if I wish, how much more can I speak through any man that I please?”
“Humans are vessels that many spirits may speak through in the course of a day.”
“Sometimes it is the person’s own spirit, other times their own flesh, other times my spirit may speak through them and sometimes they are inspired by angels or influenced by dark spirits. A person’s state is generally not so holy as to have only me speaking through them at all times. They have their own spirit which may speak through them and that is appropriate, and they may be influenced by other spirits which are not their own. Sometimes this is appropriate too. Look at Simon-Peter, in one moment he confessed Jesus as the Messiah. Jesus himself acknowledged that the Spirit spoke those words through him. Yet mere moments later, Satan was sent away from him because now the devil was influencing Peter’s words. In the span of minutes, he channeled two entirely different spirits. This is not so uncommon as you think…”
“If you cannot even identify your own thoughts, how then can you identify your own words? Does not a man ‘speak his mind,’ but if the thoughts in his mind are not his and he speaks them, are those really his own words?”
“This is why awareness is such an important spiritual discipline. You must know yourself in order to recognize when other spirits are influencing you, for they are subtle.”
“If you do not recognize yourself and do not learn to recognize God, then how can you learn to tell which subtleties are your own and which are a nearby entity’s? Learning to recognize Father is easiest, for he stands out the most among spirits, that is why I say you must learn to recognize God. You must begin by acknowledging a spirit other than yourself who dwells in you and affects internal things.”
“The spiritual world is the inward world. Thus, many spirits can influence things that you would consider to be internal.”
“It is not invasive, but normal and common, for spirits to speak thoughts into your mind and to render your bodies into certain states because of their ability to influence your internal workings. Yes, they can affect organs and hormones and a great many internal structures of the body. It is easier for them to reach into these parts of your body than the external parts of it. Things are always backward in the kingdom. So you think outward with your Western brain. You think it is easier to influence and manipulate the exterior world. But the doorway for spirits is inside, so it is easier for them to manipulate the interior world. For them, the exterior is harder to reach.” {Though it is not impossible.}
“I thought our internal portal was encrypted so to speak.” I responded. “That’s why we can portal to heaven and why demons cannot get to it. Because it is guarded inside of us.”
“Did I not tell you that angels use you as portals? That they come into you and then move into the world. That they ‘descend on you’ or better said, into you.
“Then from there they travel throughout the world. So other spirits can access your portal. (Heavenly spirits can access it.)”
“It is like this.” Jesus began. I then saw a small ball set to spin on a surface like a top, it spun at an angle like the earth does, and it spun clockwise. A moment later I saw air create vortexes above and below it’s axis. “See how the energy forms and is pulled down into the ball, into it’s core?”
I nodded.
“It is like that, that is how your gate works.”
“I don’t quite understand,” I admitted.
“You will,” he patted my head affectionately, “someday.”

Yes, the real gateways are within us indeed...
I think it's interesting that you pointed out that the chakras backward opening is where impressions often enter... I have often described many of my insights and visionary experiences as happening behind me, but I was not familiar with this principle in Indian teaching.
It also reminds me of the Bible verse that hints at the same principle saying "you will hear a word behind you, saying 'this is the way, walk in it'."
Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad I was able to convey the experience and their message with clarity, and I'm happy that it resonated with you. :)
