A Lightworker's Toolbox

The ghost orchid is a rare orchid with small white blooms that grows wild in Florida. The plants, which lack foliage, look like they are suspended in the air as they attach themselves to tree trunks by a few roots. Many environmental enthusiasts and photographers have spent enormous amounts of time searching for the tiny plant.

In 1999, Mike Owens, a biologist at the Fakahatchee Preserve, guided me on a hunt for the elusive orchid. The only ghost orchid we could find was 13 feet up in a tree, so we hauled several ladders into the depths of the swamp, and I got the shot!

Later, I used this image of the ghost orchid with its two legs crossed to form a heart as my brand and the symbol that accompanies one of my favorite sayings, “Art Comes from the Heart.”

Stockholm Syndrome with entity attachments

As most of my followers are aware, I work with soul guides to remove troublemaker spirits. Some of them are Earthbounds (deceased souls who haven’t crossed over) some of them are demonic spirits, some are dark elemental spirits and some of them are regressive extraterrestrials.

If one doesn’t perform any form of spiritual healing or hygiene, it is quite easy for entity attachments to become long term. The longer they are attached, the more humans tend to get used to the attachment. Even if these beings make their life a living hell, they get used to that hell.

It’s a bit like when someone goes to prison and gets used to the idea of losing their free will. They expect to be told what to do and how to live their lives. When that control gets removed and they are allowed to make their own decisions again, it often makes them feel quite vulnerable, insecure and uncomfortable. They may even start to develop a sort of ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ with their guards or with the prison itself, feeling lost when they are granted even an ounce of freedom once again.

Unfortunately, this is also the case with long term entity attachments. Over the course of several years people will get used to their presence, and to someone else calling the shots for them. They become completely submissive to their attachments, feeling that their power they hold within themselves is purely from their attachments.

So this is why, when you go right in and remove those attachments, it can be a lot like ripping off an old, well stuck bandage. On rare occasions it can even throw people into a mental health crisis, which is why we must handle long term attachments VERY carefully. Sometimes a clearing will be stretched over the course of several days or even weeks, to allow a very slow and delicate separation of the entities. This allows the client to get used to standing on their own two feet once again.

This is also the case with Earthbounds who occupy the same body or home for long term. It’s like having a roommate for many years. You may not even know they are there consciously. Then all of a sudden it can feel like you’re losing a best friend you didn’t even know you had.

Regardless of how long these attachments have been there, it’s ALWAYS better for them to be removed. They do far more harm than good, especially over long periods. But it is very true people can develop ‘attachments to their attachments’ which is one of many reasons why it’s so important to do this work delicately, and with patience and compassion for all involved. Entities included.

The quote appears in his 2022 novel Stella Maris, the companion novel to The Passenger.

The fuller context makes it more interesting. Alicia Western is discussing the rage of children and suggests that anger comes from a sense that something unjust has happened and ought to be corrected.

As people grow older, they encounter losses and injustices that cannot be undone. McCarthy's distinction is that rage still contains an expectation of change; once something is understood as irreversible, rage gives way to grief. Later in the novel, Alicia returns to the idea that sorrow remains after rage has exhausted itself and proved powerless.

Stella Maris was one of McCarthy's final two novels, published in 2022, the year before his passing. The book is largely a philosophical dialogue dealing with grief, consciousness, mathematics, mortality and the limits of human understanding.

I have somehow been turned into a vampire, I can not stay awake during the day but I'm wired at night. I don't even know what's going on anymore

And so it is. 🌸🪶
