Sleep paralysis in religion/spirituality

[Dodo]

We developed our sleeping problems over time, so fixing them will take an equal amount of time. That's another reason why smoking weed isn't the right tool for the job. It's quick and effective, though.

Also, being a worker isn't enough. I take like 70,000 steps a week on average. And my legs look like Jake Sully's from that movie "Avatar". It's like I need to become a marathon runner just to sleep like a normal person.

Have you tried relaxing music before bed? Or aromatherapy? I've tried listening to recordings of thunderstorms to try to sleep, but I know it's fake. A real thunderstorm would put me right to sleep though.

Haha no i'm quite the opposite i have thin legs

No i did not try, until now I was just smoking and it was the solution for me but now im looking for other ways since i'm trying to be a better person and a better christian I also don't want to get a cancer because im not even a cigarette smoker, the funny thing is I dont even miss smoking when I quit like smokers do I just miss having a good night

 

[vic]

Let's not derivate from sleep paralysis please this is not a thread about what faith is right or wrong. I am an open minded person and as long as it is god related and not satanic things im curious to hear every opinion you have and I personally think that god will not punish me for listening To daze's video as it talks about God and not gods. Ofc i cannot pray in muslim as im not muslim but i see no harm in giving it a listen and in some form it is similar to the psalms mentionned earlier.

The is only one truth, one reality. Islam and christianity are both monotheistic religions but only one acknowledges Jesus Christ, our saviour as God and one does not. So it does matter which "god" is being addressed and prayed to, afaik this matters to most muslims too. So it's not even about one religion being better than the other but simply about staying consistent in your beliefs.

But you do you. Being an open minded person is fundamentally a good thing esp if you're still exploring.

I meant Jake Sully in his wheelchair-bound human body.

I don't think Jesus cares if we smoke weed. Do whatever makes you happiest.

Muslims and Christians do NOT pray to the same god/God.

I've mentioned this multiple times Vic but i was a Christian for 30 years before i reverted to Islam about 10 years ago. There is no doubt that Allah in the Quran is God the father in the Bible. They are one in the same, you can accept or deny this. it doesn't change the reality of it.

So it does matter which "god" is being addressed and prayed to, afaik this matters to most muslims too. So it's not even about one religion being better than the other but simply about staying consistent in your beliefs.

Islam acknowledges the existence of Jesus. In fact the Quran says he was a righteous man. You are correct in that Muslims do not worship Jesus, but all Christians don't either. There are even a few Christians on these boards who will tell you Jesus was a prophet and nothing more.

It matters whether you are calling upon God or his creation most definitely. I'm sure you completely missed it but OP did say he asked Jesus for help and none came.

Its about the first commandment Vic. "Thou shall have no gods but me".


It is not my desire to derail this thread. I'll leave you to your

Being an open minded person is fundamentally a good thing

.. open mindedness.. When you actually display the opposite.

Since you're a christian I'd not recommend smoking marijuana or listening to islamic prayers, sleep paralysis demons could subside temporarily to give room for other spirits/deception. Just a hunch, I don't have experience with either.

 

[Daze]

So i wake up and cant move, i start hearing his desk chair going back and forth and at the same time i hear loud and very fast knockings on the wall. I was terrified and tried to call for help or move but impossible.

This fits with a djinn attacking you.

I noticed however that I have higher chances of having a SP if I took a nap before or during the nap. If i go to bed without being tired I also have higher chances and it makes me a late sleeper, it kinda ruined my late education as I was sleeping in class (and I had SP even in class)

This doesn't, a djinn won't attack you in a public setting. The reason they come at you when you're about to fall asleep is because its a vulnerable state.
Alot of what i mentioned in pm's wouldn't fit if you're having SP in public settings surrounded by people.

Maybe there is something else going on? I'm not sure because your stories are conflicting with what i know about SP.

Hey everyone

I wanted do discuss about sleep paralysis, not the scientific aspect but the spiritual one. Ive been having it for more than 10 years in my life and I can tell you it's no fun at all. As a christian im terrified when it occurs because it really feels like some entity is in the room and trying to harm you... Ive heard many theories about it but there's so much mystery around it.
Do you know why it happens ? What To do To get rid of it ? Im really curious to hear your opinion on this.

Thoroughly check around your room/house to see if there are anything idols-like, images, painting, magazine, crystal, symbol, dark animal, something you bring home from vacation...etc These things give "them" access to you. Always pray first and ask the Holy Spirit to guide and show you because "they" can blind you from seeing it. Once you found something, believe that it was the Holy Spirit shining His light for you to see. Then, simply repent for having it and throw it away. Don't think twice about it as "they" will try to get you to change your mind. Once you repented, "they" lost power over you because "they" can no longer accuse you to the Father. Unrepented sins are like portals, allowing "them" to enter your life. Hope this help, God bless you

(Christian and Muslim do not worship the same God, don't listen to the lies)

I wish i knew whats going on but that pretty much sums up my life for some reason weird things keep happening to me in life im like a magnet to weird situations. So many times random people come and Feel the need To talk to me. People that see things they keep telling me they Feel something strong. I had a teacher in school during my 20's that went through a tough life, she got cursed by voodoo people and fought for years, churches would not let her sleep inside she could see the demons during day and night attacking her and one day she saw the arkangel Mickael and he saved her from all this. She wrote books on her story and I can tell you she was a sane person very smart.

Thank-you for your post.

It's possible for someone to spend an entire human lifetime asleep spiritually (i.e. not aware of their surroundings, or who/what they are, or why they are here). We are all actually spiritual-energy beings (souls) temporarily "locked" inside of these human animal bodies, to learn how to overcome fear under these extreme conditions.

ALL "demons" are a projection of the ego (the "self"), pretending to be whatever it needs to be to instill fear. When fear is allowed to manifest itself in the mind, it not only steals away our peace, but it provides a distraction for the ego, so it can continue operating behind the scenes.

The ego ("self") is the evil voice inside of one's head, controlled by Lucifer/Satan/Iblis, which tries to frighten us into doing its bidding, e.g. doing what is popular to be socially accepted (fear of rejection), or doing what makes the body feel good (which is frequently the worst thing for the soul/spirit-Being within), or worrying about things we have no control over (fear of the future), or that are perceived to be a threat to the life of the human (fear of physical death). The following is a very relevant quote from a film entitled "After Earth" about fear:

“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is the product of our imagination (Gen. 6:5), causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Now do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice.”

Fear is also the polar opposite of faith, because where 100% faith exists, there can be no fear. So the only way to overcome the fear -- which is tied to the "self" (ego) is to destroy the ego through increasing one's faith (trust in our Creator). If you learn to overcome the fear, the "sleep paralysis", i.e. the near constant state of fear that one lives in while spiritually sound asleep, will disappear.

To accomplish this, please consider the following critically important steps:

1. Clear your mind of ALL of your preconceived notions, many of which come from whatever organized religion you frequent.

2. Practice this mind-clearing exercise frequently (taking out the trash, i.e. the worldly garbage that we fill our minds with -- garbage in, garbage out), and seek that calm, still place in your mind, where God has told us He will meet us, in the present moment (Ps. 46:10).

3. Read The Law (found in the first five books of the Bible), asking God to interpret it for you. This will begin to displace the garbage with true, spiritual food.

4. Start DOING what we are COMMANDED to do in The Law. This will help you draw closer to God, so He can in turn help open your spiritual eyes and ears, exactly as Christ teaches (John 7:16-17), which the Koran was sent to CONFIRM.

There is no other way to overcome fear. And each and every organized religion actually adds to the fear, because they set up a barrier in between us and Father (God).

You can do this, WITH Father's Help and Guidance.

Peace be upon you.

Thank you very much for your answer and your wise words. I think i got step 1 already i need To work on the other steps you've mentionned. Im in a moment in my life where im looking for answers and I believe the bible will help indeed.

Sorry to break it to you, that Jesus cross became an idol the moment you believe it can protect you. This "innocent" belief give the devil a right to accuse you to the Father for committing idolatry. Thus, the Father will grant him (satan) power over you for this sin. I hope you understand God hate idols. It's okay to have a cross but what you believe about it is more important. You can always test the spirit, simply repent for trusting in a cross, made by the hand of man, over trusting God. (Sorry Father for believing/trusting in this cross instead of You). It's very simple, don't make it complicated. Then, remove it from the house for a few weeks (so it doesn't remind you of your faith in it). See if you still have SP. God bless

If Susan loves ice cream she can't also be Peter and despite ice cream. They're not the same person.

I know Islam acknowledges Jesus as a beloved prophet. Some "christians" not recognizing Jesus' deity changes nothing. When Jesus came down to earth he was full-man, full-God. Obvs christians worship the part that's God, the I AM so it's not idolatry. But clearly we are both already fixated on our beliefs so let's not dispute this further.

It seems to me you're accusing me of being closed-minded for not trying weed, and for not casually listening to Islamic prayers when I'm a christian. I gave advice to @Dodo from a christian, to a christian. For an atheist/Muslim/whatever it would be different. Everyone has the right to their beliefs. Open-mindedness means you're eager to learn more, not that you're going to agree with everyone.

This has always been a question for me but i do think smoking is not good anyway so i better stop. Is there writings in the bible mentionning weed ?

Not weed specifically but we are called to have a clear/sober mind which I think is not possible when you're high. It matters how you use weed and what for, most definitely.

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8

"So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober." 1 Thessalonians 5:6

The Scripture says: "God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them." (Acts.19.11-12) If the Apostle Paul's man-made handkerchief could drive away evil spirits, on what basis is believing the Cross of Christ can do the same idolatry?

I haven’t read the replies bc I know what a large portion will be: rebuke the demon by the blood of Jesus. Yes, that is a valid response, but it doesn’t cover loop hole caveats, and those are Satan’s jam. The Bible says they ‘trade in the souls of men’ for a reason. You might be a Christian that loves the Lord and you’ve accepted Him as your savior. First, examine and repent for any possible open doors in your life. They might seem trivial or silly- but that’s how Satan works. If you’ve done that, and you’re still being tormented, then there’s an open door in the supernatural through an oath or covenant made in your name that you didn’t consent to. Sounds crazy, right? Think of it as a court of law. Satan is the ultimate skeeze attorney- searching for loopholes, holding secret hearings, ‘trading in the souls of men’ to gain illegal access. What were your ancestors involved in? For example, freemasonry? They take oaths that pass on the curse to their lineage. Did you agree to that? No! Does that make it illegal?! Absolutely! But it requires you petitioning the courts of Heaven to break that illegal covenant or contract that providing a back door. Sure, it sounds silly- but is it easier for Satan to use a door you have no clue about and haven’t put under the blood of Christ to break, or one you do know about? Dan Duval has prayer books that approach things this way- they’re incredible prayers that cover every loophole. Bc of the occult stuff in my lineage that I had no clue about, I did a huge covenant break prayer that covered every faction from a ministry out of South Africa. It’s ironic that ppl so easily dismiss the battle in the supernatural while ppl openly seek mediums and tarot. You need to renounce, rebuke, & break any covenant/get rid of things in your home that serve as ‘accidental consent.’ It sounds like you also need to break generational covenants/contracts in your bloodline

Yes i'm a christian and Love the Lord of course ! I've always been but at some point in my life I got lured into things that you think are not bad at first but you realise it when you grow up. I've had a pretty fcked up early adulthood (alcohool, sex addiction, some mdma at parties, etc) but as I was not hurting anyone i thought it was ok...it's only now I realise I've hurt myself doing all this and it's not good.
I don't know about freemasonry, maybe but he never wanted to tell me I know for a fact he was approached by them but he told me he rejected it. I'm really curious about freemasonry if it's really what we say it is, i just talked with one recently and asked him if it was satanic as people say and he laughed and told me they were christians and people lied about them(catholics especially), saying something like there's 2 meanings to things. I'm kinda confused about the symbols right now do they really mean what we say it means ? I'm looking for documentations on the subject, like something you can't contest for the meaning of it. The 666 sign for exemple with the hand gesture, how do we know that it really mean that ? Is'nt it our imagination? I'm confused i'm looking for help on that topic because if you don't get in the freemasonry how can you tell about what means what? And I dont want to enter it to have those answers, would be huge for me to find a serious document on all the symbols and not just testimonies or speculations (I include myself in the speculation cause I keep trying to spot the symbols).

God bless you.

- I recommend you to stop smoking weed, or at least smoke weed WITHOUT THC.
- Sleep in one side
- wear a crucifix, I don't know why, but this works for a friend.

Hope you get rid of this !!

thank you my friend, I still havent touched a single cigaret or joint since my post and even if I already did 4 SP since i'm staying strong thx for your empathy

This has always been a question for me but i do think smoking is not good anyway so i better stop. Is there writings in the bible mentionning weed ?

What's not good about weed, though? Obviously, you probably don't want to get lit before a social function or going to work. But if your day is over with, I don't see what's bad about smoking a joint or having a beer.

The bible says to reject drunkenness. However, it also said that God put all the plants on Earth for us to eat. Unless you can reconcile that contradiction, then the Bible can't answer the question for you. Ultimately, it's your choice. I love being clear-headed, but I also like feeling vulnerable sometimes.

I did the same, I didn’t think much of tarot or partying. I’ve changed that, but there was always a weird tie that I couldn’t understand- Jesus is supposed to cover everything. He does, but if there are ‘contracts’ or ‘covenants’ in the super natural, they have to be broken. Soul ties, freemasonry, Kabbalah, principalities... even if it was your great grandparent, the oaths and ‘curses’ that are self professed on the bloodline have to be broken. As for someone thinking freemasonry is harmless- no. Even the first initiation level is the exact same initiation ritual into witchcraft, down to phrases. Smote? Lol. If someone says it’s innocent and the ‘grand architect’ ISNT Lucifer, then they’re a foolish pawn who is in way over their head. Those ‘low members’ are thought of as gullible idiots. They’re used to provide cover for ppl ‘in the know.’ It’s sad. However, even the low pawns willingly put oaths and curses on their family lineage. It’s not just men either, a woman fam member of mine was a master matron in order of the eastern star. She had an occult burial.

point being, if there’s an open door- even if it’s a loophole- Satan has no problem using it. He has no allegiance to anyone or anything. He fools ppl into thinking they’re important, but all he does is take. Take, take, take. Even religions that say Jesus isn’t the only true way still all revere Him as a righteous, incredible ‘man.’ Jesus is the only way, He’s the only one that even other major religions (except luciferians & satanists)give mad props to. Jesus wants a relationship, He’s the only way that isn’t ‘works’ based, that doesn’t take and demand. He offers redemption and forgiveness. Which is why Satan will use any loophole he can find to attack ppl who believe in Christ. He doesn’t attack any other religion for a reason- he knows where the true power resides.

I highly recommend Dan Duval’s prayer books.
