This final installment in the PERSPECTIVES workshop is based on over eight years of in-depth research and experience. Since braverave.com is devoted to the rave and club scene, the discussion here will deal largely with those environments, but not exclusively. The rave and club scene are just a small window into what is happening in different forums and venues around the world. The material offered in this lengthy discussion is not in my usual format, rather I've decided to be personal with you and make an attempt to share my experience and insight one-on-one.

There are exceptions to most rules, but more often than not I've found basic truths apply universally regardless of the variables. It requires courage to discover there do exist some universal truths in our universe: truths which never change and are always constant. Supernatural good and evil also have basic characteristics which do not change over time. Supernatural beings don't exist in our time continuum, they are what they are. While the interaction of the supernatural and our natural world is limited by time, the basic characteristics of good and evil are constant.

Regardless of the whimsical nature of our politically correct societies, good and evil do exist; and action is required to face the challenges of defeating death and rallying to support love and truth. I take an active stance against supernatural evil, and at the same time seek to give people unconditional love and support. People tend to either ignore supernatural evil, or make themselves believe 'it' is just something else altogether. I have a big problem with people who refuse to see the truth, because the example they set is ignorant and wicked. We must brave new frontiers to courageously proclaim: the emperor has no clothes!

 

Does proverbial good and evil exist as in biblical contexts?

Supernatural evil is beyond our scope to fully analyze because of our lack of honest experience dealing with it. Evil does not usually present itself as such, but when it does and people still worship it, the same rules apply. Supernatural evil maintains characteristics which are fundamental to its existence and which should be given careful consideration. I've dealt with demons and 'the wicked one' during my searches for truth and I found commonalties and behavioral patterns to exist: evil always encourages people away from Love and Truth; evil always uses illusions; evil is always deceptive; and evil always wants you to believe it either divine or more powerful than God. Evil often pretends to be God. It wants your energy. Although supernatural evil has no 'real' power of its own, it does transmute the soul-energy of a willing human host(s) as discussed in this workshop. Transmuted energy does not pose a threat to a strong, faithful individual who is aware of basic truths about evil. Those who make the choice to willingly give evil their soul-energy are spiritually suicidal.

Deceptions and delusions cause people to misplace their loyalty and give evil their devotion. Evil, in turn, offers them greed, lust, lies and illusions. If a supernatural thief stole the energy from a legion of hosts, I frankly don't know what it is capable of doing with that energy. But I will tell you this: I faced supernatural evil on my own, with my own wits and with my own awareness and soul-power before I called out to God. Evil was not capable of destroying me before that, and it certainly is not capable of doing me any harm now. For nothing is stronger than God, and we are children of God. Faith in the positive will move mountains for you.

 

Can a person hosting supernatural evil be dangerous?

An individual who knowing hosts evil is either completely wicked or lost, and both of those are extremely dangerous to that person. Other than the eternal dangers to the idiots who choose to associate with it, evil uses deceptions and illusions and can make severe threats through its hosts. You will find its bark is worse than its bite. The best way to describe a host individual of supernatural evil is mentally and spiritually challenging. Could a host to supernatural evil destroy you or physically harm you in some way, I believe the answer is: no. But I can only speak for myself. You should exercise caution and faith in God; they are your best defense. Other than provoking fear, I've never seen a host of supernatural evil do anything considered physically harmful or dangerous to another person, only to themselves. But nonphysical harassment is very troubling; and if a host individual provokes enough fear and doubt within you, then you could possibly hurt yourself. So again I will tell you NOT to fear evil.

The harmful parasite will eventually destroy the host if no action is taken. Supernatural evil is a parasite which will destroy the mind, body and soul of its willing host. A person choosing to host supernatural evil looses their own ability to discern truth. They loose clarity. In this sense, they are a danger to everyone. Under evil's influence they will seek to challenge your faith, confuse your mind, and provoke you into fear. The worst thing that ever happened to me was being bumped around on a dance floor by such people. However, if supernatural evil uses a host to manifest itself, the resulting illusions can be disturbing. Regardless, you must not fear it.

 

Do supernatural forces really infiltrate raves or night clubs?

Yes. Subtle to outlandish battles of positive and negative energy occur at places where people gather. When people congregate, energy levels are naturally elevated. This can be true of a night club, a rave, or even a church gathering or religious event. Supernatural forces are attracted to elevated energy levels like moths to a flame. At nearly any gathering, we are susceptible to supernatural stimuli, but a night club or rave gathering produces dramatic results because they often have low lights or light shows, loud music, little verbal communication and surreal atmospheres.

We seemingly check the 'real' world at the door when entering a dance club or rave. A supernatural experience is often mistaken for an unusual light show or some type of staged theater presented by the promoters. The chaos of music and lights are distracting and offer unique hiding places to unseen supernatural influences. The most common type of supernatural entity to invade these places is a demon. A demon will infiltrating the space; attend it regularly; and slowly make itself known to more and more people until it has established a following of hosts to make it strong enough to nest and attempt to rule over that space. The reality of these invasions is usually ignored by the non-hosts because of fear, denial or ignorance. These demons remain largely unchallenged.

A positive warrior may tolerate some negative energy from humans, but most definitely stands against any type of supernatural evil attempting to make a nest. Demons are a scourge and need to be eliminated from our lives. They feed off of your brothers and sisters until they are spiritually dead. This is the most heinous crime I know of and it needs to STOP.

 

 

How are spiritual battles fought? Guns? Violence?

Spiritual battles are not physical confrontations. They are waged in minds and souls -- connected sometimes just for that purpose. Don't mistake bad people who carry guns and knives as necessarily being under the influence of evil forces. People tend to overestimate the 'power' of evil and underestimate the real power of good. A positive warrior is with God.

The soul and the mind are closely linked. Expressions like Truth, Love, Forgiveness, Faith, Trust, Hope, Devotion and Compassion must be first established firmly in the mind before they can be outwardly projected as powerful tools. These mere 'concepts' are actually weapons and defenses in spiritual battles. These concepts are much more than people realize. They are very REAL in the supernatural realms. Truth is like a sword and Faith is like a shield. Evil attacks with 'fear' or 'doubt' while good countermands with 'hope' or 'truth'. Often a spiritual battle may come down to 'faith'. Do you have more faith in Love than the wicked host person has in its evil demon? Suppose you exhaust yourself completely and the battle is still waging. Do you think God has more power than a demon? You should know the answer to this question and also why good will never ultimately loose to evil: God is almighty. Eternally.

Spiritual battles take place beyond the realm of the spoken word, and the 'connection' of minds and souls allow thoughts and feelings to be shared. These struggles are experienced by the senses through this connection. The battles can be completely personal or mutually shared by everyone. Most people tend to ignore or disclaim any spiritual confrontation, even when it is happening directly to them! Refusing to acknowledge the truth of any situation is weak and placates to darkness. Those who refuse to acknowledge any spiritual confrontation are making a choice to side with darkness. Remember, it is the truth which sets you free.

 

 

How would I recognize supernatural forces at a rave or club?

My suggestion is not to 'go looking' for anything; rather be alert and aware of all that is happening around you. I've known people to be really jumpy and expect a presence of supernatural evil when there was none. Seek to have fun, dance and share some positive vibe. Seek to share the love you have inside. If clue after clue says there is a supernatural force present, then confront it. Attempt to test it to determine its status.

A supernatural force could be capable of telepathy, redirecting the sound waves to form its own version of a song or lyric, and altering the light waves to produce dramatic effects. A large group of people on a dance floor is an excellent forum for supernatural forces to influence minds on a large scale. It is uncharacteristic to witness supernatural powers of good attempting to covertly influence the minds of people. God does not hide. The powers of good are open and honest. Little, if any, covert action is ever taken. Thus, any covert supernatural influence at a rave gathering or night club is most always evil. Supernatural powers of good may alter the environment or correct it when combating the forces of evil. This usually occurs only when asked to do so by a faithful individual. It only takes one to stand against a legion. The power of supernatural good come from God, and is boundless, real energy. The forces of evil can only use transmuted host energy. There is a significant difference between the two types of 'energy' -- a difference you should be able to distinguish.

We can confront supernatural forces many ways: in our minds, verbally or even with body language. We let it know we are aware of its presence. Our thoughts are energy, and it will sense your awareness. What you do after that will depend upon your level of faith and commitment. Praying out loud in a club or rave gathering which is filled with pounding music will cause very few people to notice you; but if you are sincere in your efforts and discover verbal prayer is required, it will be fear which keeps you from talking with God openly -- right there on the spot. And as we have discussed before, fear is a tool of the darkness. So if you are too fearful to pray openly to God with others hearing you, then the chances are you will not succeed in rallying support to stand against the unseen evil.

 

Contrary to popular belief, we are not here to make money, get married, have litters of children, go to church on Sundays and eventually die where upon we will be admitted into the wonderland called Heaven. Good deeds do not help an individual learn the tools they need to cope with eternal Life, thus the world's view of 'good' is misdirected. We are here to learn about love and truth, and to prepare for an eternal existence with God. In order to learn how to be companions for the immense family awaiting us, we must learn the differences between good and evil; and we must begin that relationship with God right here. Although this may not sound too demanding, the world has misshapen ideas about good and does not acknowledge evil to even exist except in the minds of people.

We must seek to stand against those things which are evil so we and our family here on Earth can begin to learn the important lessons required of us to take a place in eternal Life. We may get many chances to satisfy the requirements of earning eternal Life, but we must seek to make each count. While we may be afforded many lifetimes of opportunities to help in the good fight, those who did not choose Love have settled for eternal death -- which is the most appalling sorrow in the entire universe.

On its present course of greed and paganism, the world is spinning out of control. The world is already ruled by the dead. Thus, the things the world teaches are not truthful. When an individual dies, their soul continues. A soul may continue onward towards God, or a soul may reincarnate back to this place, but the most common and ghastly is for a soul to simply be lost forever; wandering aimlessly in a plane of nonexistence; living forever without Life or Love; taunted endlessly by the dead. This is why it is important to fight evil. Only when evil is stopped will the murder and rape of human souls finally end. How much clearer could I be?

 

How do I take a stand against evil?

Your shield is Faith. Your sword is Truth. Your path is Hope. Your mind is the alter. Your body is the temple. Thus, the first step begins within you. Embrace yourself as a beautiful, unique and talented child of God. You're not a weak, defenseless creature. Cast out the guilt and fear you hold inside. Seek to forgive yourself; try to rise above doubts and humbly admit there are many things you do not know and many things you must learn. Seek to be OPEN. Try to tear down the walls you have built as your own prison. Cast out the excess baggage of guilt you carry; and allow yourself to be honest and open every moment of every day. Stop trying to hide who you are, it is pointless. The truth will set you free. It is not a religious truth which sets you free, as so commonly thought, rather it is seeking to live truthfully, day after day, which sets you free -- simple honesty. From there you will be open to receiving higher truth.

When you begin to feel successful in achieving these things, the time will come quickly for you to unlock the amazing love locked inside of your soul. To love another is to see the face of God. Love comes quickly.

Love enables us to shine a light. Thus, the next step involves shining the light you've discovered within yourself; this includes situations which may be uncomfortable for you. Shining a light at a positive gathering is easy and requires little effort, but shining a light at a gathering filled with darkness is much more difficult and requires courage. Do not allow doubt or fear to dim your light. Since you're not perfect, except the fact you make mistakes -- this will give you strength. Love's children deserve encouragement and forgiveness, it is our heritage. With Faith, Hope, and Courage you must stand in the shadow of the valley of darkness and shine a light as brightly as you know how. Should you become involved in a situation where you truly need help, intervention will come. Believe it!

If you encounter pagan worship at a rave or night club, take a stand by refusing to leave and shining your light as brightly as possible -- all with a BIG smile on your face. When you feel a supernatural force at a rave or a club, seek to test it. Don't be shy. If you conclude the supernatural force is 'not of God' then refuse to leave, shine your light, and seek to make 'it' leave. Seek to cast it out. Evil despises the light because it can reveal evil's deceptions. Love clears muddled minds. Love will help those who seek to help others. Our labor is to encourage the light in others--no matter how dim they may seem.  They are your brothers and sisters.

 

 

Do some people have 'magic' supernatural powers?

Fear is a negative emotion which actually attracts negative energy to you like a magnet. Fear also causes an individual to misplace their beliefs to empower something (or someone) else. There are people who use your fears against you in order to steal your energy and empower themselves. The most common tools used by these vampires are bizarre clothing or styles, intimidation, and illusions to make you believe they have 'magic' powers. The more shock or fear they can produce in you, the more energy you will subconsciously give to them from your own belief.

Although our soul-energy is powerful, people are not gods or goddesses. We are children unto God. People can have strange gifts and I honestly don't know the full extent of our abilities. I am always a little shocked to discover a person who does mysterious things with the power of their souls. Many of the people I've been in contact with who demonstrate mysterious abilities were usually a 'host' for a supernatural influence of evil and were not aware, themselves, of what was really happening. On a brighter note, I have also had the privilege to witness many wonderful gifts used by people of the light, which were given them by God. It is vital for you to keep level, constant faith knowing any 'power' of darkness can be defeated by the light. Seek to do the best you can with what you have.

Some people have been called to the front line of spiritual battles to help provide clarity. There are angels among you, but they do not have wings, nor do they play harps. All of us have the potential to receive amazing gifts from God to be used in the defense of Truth. There are both angels of Light and Darkness. These individuals appear to possess a great deal of power. But those from Love's family will help you to discover your own potentials and find Life. They will come to you when the need is real.

 

Can't I fight evil and worship my own god or goddess?

There is only one God. There are both supernatural entities and people who would like nothing more than for you to believe in them as a deity; for your belief sustains their illusions. God is known by many names, but there remains only one. If you put your faith in a supernatural being claiming to be a god or goddess, you are in serious danger because that being is actually a demon seeking to feed off your soul-energy. There are thousands of cults which have foreign gods and goddesses. There is a massive resurgence of paganism. None of those will provide you truth or sustenance. That is the cold, hard truth whether you accept it or not.

Perhaps you have an aversion to traditional religion? You must not let your own stereotypes detach you from truth. If you have difficulty living in the confines of traditional religion, I don't blame you a bit. I personally do not attend church, nor do I worship the bible, yet I have a deep and meaningful relationship with God. Each and every day I communicate with God; and God's love is my greatest treasure. I have redefined spirituality in my own house to emphasize and glorify the truth I have discovered about God; and I have also redefined spiritual holidays so they do not glorify materialism and pagan ideals. You are a creature of imagination who is capable of seeking truth and experiencing wondrous Love. So why not seek to redefine, and challenge, the confines of traditional religion if they do not meet your spiritual expectations? There are no churches in The Kingdom of God -- it is actually within you.

God is the Creator. God is Love. Although God is supernatural and God's Spirit is unseen, God is a natural part of Life. God is a supernatural being who is natural to our existence, and God is the only one. God loves you more than you can imagine. God is almighty and all powerful. Knowing this, why wouldn't you want to give yourself the opportunity to love God? Since the world knows little about God, why should you accept them as an authority? In my own journey, I found God to really enjoy dancing, music, nature and many things which 'the world' does not attribute God to enjoy. Since God is the ultimate being, perhaps you should rethink stereotypes you may harbor. The main reason I've known people to shun God for a pagan god or goddess is because they think their deity is 'cooler' or more well rounded than the grumpy, traditional God who sits in Heaven and judges everyone with vengeance and cruelty. Nothing could be further from the truth. God is NONE of those things. This is your wake up call.

 

What does being OPEN really mean?

When we are open, we are not hiding. We are allowing ourselves to exist in harmony with our souls and with truth. When we seek to live openly, our motives are clear. Sadly, people are taught to hide in this world. We are taught and encouraged to hide our feelings, to hide our love, to hide our motives, and to hide away ourselves because we are not worthy. This world instructs its own to create illusions through lies and manipulation. People who seek to be open in this world face persecution and ridicule. Thus, being open is not be an easy task. However, be aware that being open is as important to your soul as food is to your body.

An esoteric aspect of being open involves sharing. Those who have made the choice for Love and Truth may also be blessed to share in what is biblically referred to as 'the mind of Christ'. This means we are linked into a spiritual network which gives us access to each other and to God. In the 'mind of Christ' we have access to thoughts, ideas and instruction by unconventional methods. The closest terminology I can think of to describe this network is 'telepathy', but it is more complex than simple thought transference. When we seek to live openly, the essence of our souls is not hidden. Living as an 'open book' is a vital aspect of living in truth and developing a deeper relationship with Love. Since there is no shame in Love and no disgrace in being truthful, seeking to live each day as an 'open book' enables the human soul to grow despite this world.

The network of Love provides a very special benefit to spiritual growth. Being open with our strengths is easy, but being open with our mistakes and transgressions requires us to put aside pride and humbly admit our weaknesses. In doing this, we must seek out forgiveness lest we become filled with guilt and regret - which tends to tightly close up an 'open book'. Other difficulties in being open include trying to understand the network's function in our lives and dealing with spiritual guidance which we may or may not understand at the moment. Do not confuse the 'mind of Christ' phenomena with the mind-soul connection of spiritual battles. While they may seem to be the same, they are not. The mind-soul connection occurs for the sake of educating and saving lost souls during a spiritual battle, not because they are righteous to equally share in the 'mind of Christ'.

 

Why does supernatural evil invade raves or night clubs?

Around this world there are millions upon millions of people who regularly go to raves and/or night clubs. It is an environment which lends itself easily to indoctrination. There is a battle waging and the eternal lives of billions of people are in question. If you are honestly and innocently unaware good and evil exist as supernatural forces, I can only hope you will find a voice -- your help is needed to end evil's molestation of the human soul. And if you know there is a battle waging but have made a choice to close your eyes, lie, or pretend this is not the case, I pity you.

Supernatural evil invades clubs or rave gatherings or anywhere for only one reason: to steal energy and hopefully cause people to loose faith in God and embrace spiritual death. Evil despises God. God created us, and God loves us. Therefore, evil seeks to destroy us. It is really that simple.

The nightclub and rave scene are only a part of this battle. It is one stage amongst thousands, and we each do what we can with the tools at hand. The battle is actually better described as a challenge. Evil is attacking young people at raves and night clubs because 'it' believes society will not see the truth of the matter and blame the indoctrination on drugs or 'bad' music. Hidden by illusions people prefer to see, evil has been heavily recruiting. However, these acts of war are not unknown to God, nor to the positive warrior. The impact of what is happening in the underground has severe and negative repercussions. Society does not take this seriously because of fear. Society will not meet the challenge required to face this situation honestly. Thus, it is up to you and me.

 

Is Jesus Christ important to spirituality?

Yes. Having a 'healthy spirituality' means a person has salvaged their souls from the lies and deceptions of the world to discover the way to Love and Truth. Salvation is a difficult process which requires us to embrace truth, unlock the love we have inside and develop a relationship with God. People have preconceived notions or stereotypes about Jesus Christ, but I can assure you religion and history have done a rather sloppy job of defining him. Most modern day Christians consider Jesus Christ to be God, the Father. Jesus was not God, rather he was as one with God -- which was an example for us all. I hope you will approach this subject with an open mind and an open heart, because what reason could you possibly have to spurn a most remarkable and genuine love for you?

Jesus Christ is the son of God and a teacher unto us, but I believe he did not intend for us to start a new religion called Christianity. If you read the Gospels, this should be obvious to you as well. Christ clearly intended to provide us an example, show us the way, and to make a sacrifice so we could have the opportunity to be forgiven by God. Humanity has been mostly a beast since we were created, and Christ's love and supreme sacrifice on our behalf allows us the opportunity to share in Life.

The spirit of Christ has been reborn inside of me. In that sense I have become the Christ as well, but I'm not Jesus. Even though the proverbial second coming happens within all of us, there exists a supernatural being who was once Jesus; and who dwells very closely with God. Due to this close relationship, J.C. can be your liaison to God -- for without any help God is beyond our level of understanding. I strongly recommend you be open to developing a relationship with J.C. in order to develop a closer relationship with God. Think of J.C. as your brother and teacher, who will help you discover how to walk with God more effectively. But I strongly recommend you study this on your own because Christianity has become twisted. Bible worship and claiming J.C. is God, the Father, is wrong. (If I were to proclaim those views to a Christian church, they'd crucify me!)

Regarding the billions of people who don't acknowledge J.C. as the son of God because Christianity is not their religion, perhaps they actually do have a relationship with J.C. but call him by a different name. It is not my place to judge this matter, but I do know they're not all sentenced to an eternity of Hell simply because of semantics. Think about it.

 

Do angels, demons and ghosts really exist?

There exist more things in Heaven and Earth than we can ever possibly imagine. The human soul is a supernatural being living in a natural body; and a ghost is a disembodied soul who did not find the way. The soul does not die, even when the physical body ceases to function. What happens to the disembodied soul, and where it goes after physical death, has caused intense debate for millennia and fans religious flames. Since we do not have exact details, we must seek to discover the answer for ourselves.

My personal experiences have led me to conclude a disembodied soul does one of several things: 1) they join God in a place called Heaven; 2) they are reincarnated back into this world to continue learning what they need to learn, or to continue in the mission to help save others; 3) they were wicked and dark in their life and have been cast out from the family of God and go to a place I'd rather not discuss; or 4) they forever wander aimlessly and are not cognizant of their death or separation from their physical bodies -- locked into a state of separation from Life.

Some prospects for a disembodied soul are horrifying, while other options are
