For a long time I have the feeling that I sense emotions from other people
than myself I have some prove but I have also my doubts. But the main
problem is that I have difficulties identifying other people there
emotions from my own. I also think I have paranormal abilities but I am
afraid to give in to them because I think my life would turn upside down
I would like to talk to people who think they have the same problem.

Hi,
	Having problems with negative spirits, who are down-right mean and
malicious; playing jokes all the time, causing all sorts of confusion,
dilusions, and even accidents.  How does one banish or expel such
activity???  White light and exorcism turned out to be bullshit, long
ago.  Keep in mind that this did not start yesterday, but has been
ongoing, for nearly 20 years: I have managed to keep myself safe and in
good health (by faith).
	I am not new to spirituality, as all of this has kept me searching and
learning, over the years.  I am psychic and clairvoyant, but not by
choice, at the moment, if you catch my drift.
	My post here is in hope that someone out there may know of a powerful
remedy, such as an herb, or possibly a summoning of justice, of sorts:
Please, if you will, please see if you can summon (channel) a remedy.
If you are already aware of something that helps, that might work,
please let me know by email, and publicly.  This situation has impaired
my life, as these are like leeches, who embody, who want to be me, and
are me, at times, me, if you catch what I am saying (loosing time).

Greetings;
the problem you are having is comen, I do house cleansing on a
recular basis, at times the spirits are misunderstood by us,
at othertimes all they want is for you to reconise them,
and be there for you as a sort of companion, having said that, depending
what they do and want or, how they represent themself will make a
difference on how you approach your problem,
the most comen way I find that you can free
yourself of any entety, is to reconise them for what they are, and
simply talk to them at their level, and tell them how you feel.
failing that, I would suggest you do a house cleansing,very simple to do
if you have a real problem stay away from,
socalled excorsist who charge you, the spiritworld is very real,
and you cant pay them to go away,or scare them oway respect and curtesy
and help from the otherside, usualy gets results.
Blessings Spiritwalker.
