When You Feel Attacked by darkness or Supernatural Forces: Protect Yourself First

If you are currently experiencing a kind of distress that others cannot understand—or if you feel as though you are being attacked by evil, malevolent spirits, or supernatural forces—I know that feeling.

That kind of fear cannot simply be dismissed by telling yourself to “think positively.” Nor does that kind of pressure necessarily disappear after a night of sleep or a day of rest.

Sometimes, you may feel as though the entire world cannot understand a single word you are trying to say.

You want to explain what is happening, but you do not even know where to begin.

“Am I the only one experiencing this?”

Maybe you are. When some people experience a deep spiritual connection, they may encounter experiences that are difficult for others to understand.

Experiences like this can take time. Recovery, stabilization, and rebuilding your inner strength may take a while. You can work through it, one step at a time, and focus on finding a way forward.

But please believe this:

You have a chance to get through it.

And when you are at your darkest, most chaotic, and most helpless point, your first priority is not to prove exactly what is happening.

Your first priority is to protect yourself.

1. Step One: Temporarily Separate Yourself From Firearms and Other Dangerous Tools

Long periods of fear, overwhelming stress, severe sleep deprivation, and constant mental tension can seriously affect a person's judgment.

Some people may also experience intense physical pain.

• the pain in the head can feel as though it is about to explode—as if too many things have been crammed inside and everything is about to burst.

• The pain in the stomach may feel completely different from an ordinary stomachache. It can feel as though someone is gripping your stomach, pulling it forcefully, and wringing it out like a wet towel.

• Parts of the body that have previously been injured can also be affected by these energies, causing old wounds or vulnerable areas to ache even more intensely.

  
  

These sensations may occur at the same time, or they may appear at different stages of the experience.

When the body is already weak or exhausted—or when a particular part of the body is already especially vulnerable—the pain can feel magnified, doubled, and almost impossible to endure.

When physical pain, fear, stress, and sleep deprivation accumulate, a person can enter an extremely vulnerable, exhausted, and confused state.

In moments like these, some people may experience dangerous thoughts that they would never normally have. Enduring such intense and prolonged pain can even lead many to fear that they will never get better. That is not true.

You have a chance. You must affirm this, find the right channels of help, and know that recovery is possible.

This is why safety must come first.

If you have firearms at home, do not keep them within your immediate reach or control.

Through legally permissible channels, temporarily place your firearms with a lawful, reliable, and secure custodian, so that you cannot access them during this difficult period.

If local laws permit and the circumstances are appropriate, use compliant locking mechanisms and secure storage.

If you are going through a period when you feel extremely vulnerable, frightened, confused, or mentally overwhelmed, do not keep any firearms around you.

Do not assume that simply because you do not intend to use a firearm, you will always be able to control what happens next. When a person is at their weakest, they may experience moments of confusion or loss of awareness and may do things they would never consciously choose to do.

For that reason, firearms should not be within your reach or under your control during this period.

• Do not keep them beside your bed.

• Do not keep them in your car.

• Do not carry them with you.

You may be tempted to tell yourself:

“I won't touch it. I can control myself.”

Do not rely on your intention alone. Remove the firearm from your immediate environment.

When you are in an extremely vulnerable state, you cannot afford to gamble with your own judgment.

During this period, you need to create complete distance between yourself and firearms.

Your safety and your ability to make it through this difficult period are what matter most.

2. Do Not Bear It Alone — Having Someone With You Is a Form of Protection

When someone feels as though they are being targeted by evil, malevolent spirits, or unknown forces, one of the easiest things to do is slowly withdraw from everyone else.

You stop wanting to see people.

You stop wanting to explain yourself.

You stop wanting anyone to know what you are going through.

Eventually, you are left completely alone with the fear growing inside your own mind.

Please do not do this.

Find someone you truly trust.

It could be family, a friend, a trusted religious figure, a doctor, or a mental-health professional—anyone who can physically be with you and help you stay safe.

You do not need them to immediately understand or agree with your interpretation of what is happening.

You can simply tell them:

“I am not doing well right now. I am going through something extremely intense and frightening, and I do not want to be alone.”

when you are going through this kind of spiritual or supernatural distress, staying around other people can make a difference. My experience these dark forces become weaker when you are surrounded by people, rather than isolated and alone. The more connected you are to the people around you, the less vulnerable and powerless you may feel.

Keep people around you.

Let someone stay with you.

Let someone know where you are.

Do not isolate yourself in a world where no one else can reach you.

Whatever explanation you have for what you are experiencing, having another person physically present can reduce the chance of facing a dangerous moment completely alone.

3. Speak Up and Seek the Right Help

You may be afraid that if you tell people what you are experiencing, they will not believe you.

Some people may not understand.

Some may offer an explanation that is completely different from yours.

But that does not mean you should remain silent.

Speak up.

Tell someone you trust what you are going through.

Tell your doctor.

Tell a mental-health professional.

If your faith is important to you, tell someone within your religious or spiritual support system whom you genuinely trust.

You can seek different forms of support at the same time.

You do not have to decide immediately:

“Is this a spiritual problem, a psychological problem, or something else?”

You may not know the answer yet.

For now, you only need to know

“I need help.”

Once you are willing to speak about what is happening, you open another door toward finding the right kind of support.

There are people who can help you through difficult and frightening experiences.

But they need to know that you are struggling.

4. Do Not Expect to Recover Overnight

This is something I especially want you to remember.

An experience like this is not necessarily resolved in a day or two.

Do not tell yourself that you will never get better simply because the fear returns today.

And do not think you have failed just because yesterday was a good day and today feels much harder.

Recovery is different for everyone. Some people may begin to feel better sooner, while others may need more time. There is no fixed timeline—give yourself the time you need to heal and regain your strength.

But, gradually, you begin to find your stability again.

Give yourself time.

Your most important task right now is not to conquer everything at once.

It is to:

• Stay safe first.

• Do not isolate yourself.

• Separate yourself from dangerous tools.

• Let someone know what you are experiencing.

• Give yourself time to recover.

  
  

You do not have to solve everything right away.

Give yourself the time and space to get through this safely.

One day, when you have found your way through this difficult experience, you may be able to use what you have learned to help someone else who is walking a similar path.

Your experience does not have to end with your suffering. It can become part of the reason someone else finds their way through.

Protect yourself first. Give yourself time. Then, when you are stronger, you may be able to become a source of hope and guidance for someone else.
