A reader asks:

Do Satan, demons and aliens actually exist as conscious individuals or are they just products of our fear-based fantasies? I did exorcisms and entity removals - alone and in joint efforts with other Lightworkers - as a part of my healing work, but now someone tries to convince me that these entities do not exist.

Quado responds:

You know what happened when you did your healing work. You know that you sensed or psychically saw certain things, that you removed them and that the people improved, that they were released from pain and anguish. And so, from your own experience, of course you believe that these entitles were real. And of course they were, for if they had not been real, how would their removal have had such a wonderful effect?

But yet, I would ask you to see them as metaphors, not as literal truth. I would ask you to see them as symbols which represent energies which can get trapped in a person and influence them greatly in negative ways. I would ask you to view them as metaphors of forces which you do not and cannot understand, and not as conscious entities who are out to do you or anyone else harm.

I know this is a bit complex, but I will do my best to paint a picture or two for you which may help, and ask you to go through it with me.

And before going any further allow me to point out that although I am asking you to view these forces as metaphors, and I will, in fact ask you to accept everything I say as a metaphor, this does not mean that they are not important. Metaphors and symbols are extremely important. People kill and die for symbols every day, for symbols of patriotism and for religions, which are simply large, complex metaphors. They are very powerful and very important, so asking you to name them as such does not mean that there is nothing there. Not at all.

But what are these forces, and what is happening that causes this energy to be trapped within someone?

First, I will ask that you look at life as existing in three levels. In the middle level, there is your unique soul self. I would ask you to picture a glowing ball of energy that is you. This energy is love and peace and a deep joy, and it never dies. And you are glowing beside other soul selves, glowing in peace and joy and togetherness and joined through a great love. And this includes the soul selves of your friends as well as those you have considered your enemies, the murderer and the victim, the combatants in war, the faithful lover and the one who betrayed you, the parent who has died. All are there together, connected and in peace, glowing alongside each other.

And in the level below this is the physical world. Unlike the level of the soul self, which exists outside time or space and is eternal, the physical world is a dimension of time and space. Things here begin and end and proceed in a linear form. You are born here and you live out your life. And with the end of that life, your personality and busy buzzing mind ends, and you transition back to being solely your soul self. But you are always connected to your soul self, always. I would ask you to picture this connection as a cord of golden light reaching down from your soul self to the physical body below. Picture all of the glowing soul selves up on one level and then the cords reaching down and feeding energy, peace and love to the physical bodies in the shadow world below. They are projecting the bodies and filling them with energy.

Ah, but some of the cords are tangled, do you see? Some of the energy is coming down only weakly, and these people are full of fear, and that fear expresses itself in many ways: in anger, in hurtful acts, in hopelessness and depression. And the darkness of the shadow world is the absence of light, energy and love, and in its absence, fear abounds.

Now, as you can see, those who have the strongest connection to their soul selves are in a much better place. For they are the recipients of a constant and strong flow of energy down from the soul self into their physical bodies. And this energy calms them and helps them to feel peaceful and centered. It lights them and the area around them so that they glow and are able to keep away fear. And those with very strong connections, such as yogis who meditate hour upon hour every day, actually attain the fully creative character of the soul self, so that they can change the physical manifestation here on this physical plane at will.

The other people can also manifest, but not as directly. The others, who are not fully connected, manifest by sending up a desire to the soul self through intention and meditation and directed action, and then wait for the soul self to manifest in whatever way pleases her. And this may take many forms. But all of this is another topic.

And up on the highest level, of course, is the great oneness, the great all, the great silence, the godhead and the source. And all of these levels exist at one and the same time. And you exist in all three, right now.

There are other energies at work in the physical shadow world as well. There are spirit guides, such as me, and angels, all of which is metaphor for a benevolent and loving energy which is directed down from the level above, specifically to help guide you and extend to you the compassionate and unending love of the universe. This can be particularly helpful before you have established a strong connection to your own soul self and are better able to get help and guidance through spirit guides. Again, this is metaphor, but it is a very powerful metaphor. And if you work with spirit guides and angels, you will learn the power.

But there is also much fear blowing about in the unenlightened physical world and sometimes there are large energy patterns which develop. Sometimes the fear becomes almost like a force of energy, like a storm, if you will, which blows through certain times and certain places, and the energy of fear seems almost stronger than the energy of love. And sometimes people are infected with this fear and they close down their connection with their own soul self, leaving them even more vulnerable to the storms which blow.

And there are also other things which can happen, influences from life streams which are coming down into other dimensions, which may affect people in odd or negative ways, but these are another topic.

And so, what does all of this mean? It means that if you are able to help release people from the hold of negative energies which have entered them when they were weak, that this is good. And if you use the metaphors which work best for that particular person, that will also be helpful. When you are doing your energy work, you may see your own metaphor or theirs, which you psychically picked up. But be very careful here. Be careful not to introduce more fear by focusing on the horror or negativity of some perceived energy force. For fear is never a healer. Fear inhibits healing.

Just do your work and emphasize love. Emphasize healing. Release the negative energies, fill the space with love and help build up a shield of love and protection against future fears. Pass on your love and be careful never to pass on your own fears through over-vivid imagery.

And what can you do to protect yourself? Why, the same thing you can do to make the storms of fear subside. Exactly the same thing. You can learn to reach up to your soul self and let the love pour down into you, energize you. Let it cleanse you and fill you full of love. And you can teach your clients to do the same after you have healed them.

Let all of your love for yourself and your love of life itself pour down and cleanse you of fear. Then glow so brightly that you inspire others. Glow with light. Glow with who you are. Glow with your skills and talents. Share who you are. Give love at every turn. Shine out for all to see.

The more light and love from your soul self that you have pouring down into you, the more protected you will be from the fear which is blowing around, from the darkness which lurks in the unlighted corners. And the more you surround yourself with other people of light, the better you will be. So do your best to pass on the light to others. Do your best to share your knowledge and understanding, your forgiveness, your blessings, so that everyone can begin to glow more brightly and build up their immunity to the contagion of fear.

You are so blessed. Since you are reading these words, I know you are deeply blessed by knowledge and understanding. And it is wonderful to have so many people reaching the light. Pass on the light of knowledge, the light of love. Do not look upon life as a battle of good against evil, for evil has no force. Fear and evil are darkness and you are love and light, and the brighter you glow, the more the darkness must recede. Remember this always. The more light you have within you, the greater your glow and the less fear can hurt you. But invite fear in and you dim and become vulnerable.

This is a paradox but a very important one. If you believe in evil it becomes real. If you are afraid, if you openly invite fear into your life, then you create its manifestation. But if you face it down, if you look fear in the eye and tell it to go away, it has no power. It has only the power which you give it. But like a disease which you let enter your body, once it is there, you need to heal yourself to uproot it and move on.

You cannot defeat fear by denying it. If it is there, it is there, like a possessing entity. You must acknowledge it, face it and then send it away. And if this is your work, to help do this for people, it is work well done. So know that what you do is real, is important. Know that what you see is real, but on the other hand, it is also a metaphor for fear made manifest.

And remember always, that at the highest and widest, we are all one. We are one and we are love. Open up to that love; let it flow down and light your life. Bring in the love until you glow so brightly that you light up the world.
