To be is to be contingent: nothing of which it can be said that "it is" can be alone and independent. But being is a member of paticca-samuppada as arising which contains ignorance. Being is only invertible by ignorance.

Destruction of ignorance destroys the illusion of being. When ignorance is no more, than consciousness no longer can attribute being (pahoti) at all. But that is not all for when consciousness is predicated of one who has no ignorance than it is no more indicatable (as it was indicated in M Sutta 22)

Dark Metaphysical Forces


If Young’s framework is even directionally accurate, and if even a fraction of the perspectives shared in this book are true, they are hard to rationalize as mere incompetence. In other words, it’s hard to conceive that our drift into false paradigms is purely the result of innocent mistakes.

Perhaps false paradigms are being propagated intentionally. Not many people would be needed to enact such an agenda if they can use blackmail, bribery, threats, and mind control to manipulate key individuals in society.

But why would such social engineering be important? What would entice people to brainwash the public? And how could such an agenda remain over long periods of time if people have relatively short lifespans?

The answers might lie in the domain of consciousness—realms that transcend purely physical considerations. Perhaps there are nonphysical, spiritual forces that have much longer time horizons than humans do, and they work through humans in order to enact their goals. Why they might want to do so is open for speculation, but a common theory is that dark forces literally feed off of human energy—in particular, human suffering.

Within a consciousness-centric metaphysical framework, the existence of such forces is plausible. For instance, the famed computer scientist Alan Turing stated in 1950 that the statistical evidence for telepathy is “overwhelming,” which led him to then state: “It does not seem a very big step to believe in ghosts and bogies.”13 Put another way, once we accept that consciousness is not localized to, or dependent on, a brain, then it’s possible for forms of consciousness to exist that don’t have physical bodies. Broadly speaking, they’re often referred to as spirits. Maybe they even have an ability to take on different forms (known as shapeshifting).14

Along these lines, Helané Wabheh’s book The Science of Channeling (2021) compiles scientific evidence for the ability of humans to “tune in to” some of these nonphysical intelligences.15 Sometimes this can occur through voluntary invocations, but it also seems possible to tune in without being aware of it. If our brain has an antenna-like quality, then this is possible. After all, we don’t really know where our thoughts originate. It might be the case that an individual’s consciousness is constantly being influenced without the person’s explicit knowledge. Therefore, the ability to manage emotions and beliefs seems critical.

In my book An End to Upside Down Contact (2022), I document a wide variety of encounters with nonphysical forces, some seemingly benevolent and others not. The focus of the forthcoming discussion is on the darker forces. This focus is necessary because of the unquestionably deceptive nature of our reality. However, it’s important to acknowledge that benevolent forces seem to be real too. Practically speaking, if everything in the world were purely evil, it’s implausible that we’d even have the freedom to question  paradigms. Additionally, our world is filled with loving acts, which is suggestive of a benevolent spiritual force. Likewise, there are many otherworldly experiences, reported historically and in modern times, in which people have direct mystical encounters with seemingly benevolent beings—often reporting indescribable states of “unconditional love” and even being miraculously healed. Preston Dennett gives many examples in his 2019 book, The Healing Power of UFOs: 300 True Accounts of People Healed by Extraterrestrials.16Or consider Anita Moorjani’s case. She was healed after having a transformative near-death experience in 2006. She was in a coma during a bout with terminal cancer and has since tried to put into words the shift that her consciousness underwent: “What I can only describe as superb and glorious unconditional love surrounded me, wrapping me tight as I continued to let go. It didn’t feel as though I had physically gone somewhere else—it was more as though I’d awakened, perhaps finally being roused from a bad dream. My soul was finally realizing its true magnificence. And in doing so, it was expanding beyond my body and this physical world.”17 Her doctors were stunned when her tumors disappeared following the resuscitation.

Regarding darker forces, consider the work of Richard Gallagher, MD. He is a Princeton and Yale graduate and a professor of clinical psychiatry at New York Medical College who has personal experience with patients suffering from “demonic possession.” He details such accounts in his book, Demonic Foes: My Twenty-Five Years as a Psychiatrist Investigating Possessions, Diabolic Attacks, and the Paranormal (2020). He states his conclusion: “A segment of [the] invisible world seems to be mysteriously but remarkably hostile to human beings and seeks their physical and spiritual destruction. On rare occasions, like some kind of cosmic terrorist, that segment shows its true colors.”18 [emphasis added]

In fact, there are some instances in which individuals intentionally summon such dark forces. Earlier this was alluded to in the discussion of the “sex magick” ritual engaged by Jack Parsons (one of the early influences at NASA), with assistance from

 L. Ron Hubbard (the founder of the Church of Scientology). One has to wonder if this sort of ritual was just the tip of the iceberg. The Telegraph summarized the situation well in its 2017 article titled “Sex, rocket science, and Satanism: Meet Nasa’s real hidden figures.”19

There is, in fact, a long history of secretive, heinous, and sophisticated rituals that date back to biblical times. They have also been described in different forms by the Aztecs and Egyptians, among others. The intent of many such rituals is to call in dark spirits, likely for the purpose of obtaining power.20The rituals give vital insights into the psychology of evil and might help us understand the drive behind deception in our world. Only minor snippets will be covered here because the details are so unpleasant.

Although many instances of ritualistic abuse are hidden, some cases have been uncovered over time. In fact, they are discussed explicitly in state laws in Idaho and Illinois, and there are clear patterns to the activities. What follows is an excerpt from a law in Idaho (1990), and the law in Illinois is similar:

18-1506A. RITUALIZED ABUSE OF A CHILD — EXCLUSIONS —PENALTIES — DEFINITION.

(1) A person is guilty of a felony when he commits any of the following acts with, upon, or in the presence of a child as part of a ceremony, rite or any similar observance:

(a) Actually or in simulation, tortures, mutilates or sacrifices any warm-blooded animal or human being;

(b) Forces ingestion, injection or other application of any narcotic, drug, hallucinogen or anaesthetic for the purpose of dulling sensitivity, cognition, recollection of, or resistance to any criminal activity;

(c) Forces ingestion, or external application, of human or animal urine, feces, flesh, blood, bones, body secretions, nonprescribed drugs or chemical compounds;

( d) Involves the child in a mock, unauthorized or unlawful marriage ceremony with another person or representation of any force or deity, followed by sexual contact with the child;

(e) Places a living child into a coffin or open grave containing a human corpse or remains;

(f ) Threatens death or serious harm to a child, his parents, family, pets or friends which instills a well-founded fear in the child that the threat will be carried out; or

(g) Unlawfully dissects, mutilates, or incinerates a human corpse.21

Along these lines, Anne Johnson Davis’s autobiographical book Hell Minus One: My Story of Deliverance from Satanic Ritual Abuse and My Journey to Freedom (2008) describes her experiences as a victim as a young girl. The foreword of the book was written by a Utah detective from the state attorney general’s office who investigated that case. He confirmed that the perpetrators wrote confession letters detailing their crimes and added, “They confessed to us—in person. The allegations were confirmed.”22

This is significant because such allegations are often dismissed as products of “false memories.” Yet this is a validated case. In other instances, it’s indeed difficult to know what is real, particularly because the rituals often involve drugging and forms of torture designed to suppress memories. But in Davis’s case, her memories came flooding back later in life (which isn’t uncommon), and through unique circumstances, she was able to confront the perpetrators who decided to confess. Often the abused individual might just be considered crazy, with no way to validate the memories.

The bigger point here is this: If even some cases are real, then we can gain insights into the broader spiritual war that we all might be involved in (whether we know it or not).

In Davis’s case, she recalls seeing dark spirits entering into the ritual.23 Jay Parker endured similar abuse as a child, including incest, and he experienced dark energies directly. When interviewed by  filmmaker Sean Stone, he recalled that a dark intelligence seemed to possess his parents while they were engaging in nefarious acts. Parker says, “My father’s eyes would flash black, solid black,” as would his mother’s.24 [emphasis added]

Along similar lines, a 60 Minutes Australia episode that aired in 1989 featured a young British girl who was subjected to ritual abuse after being brought into the circle by her own grandmother. A psychiatrist validated her experiences as real and not the product of a psychotic or imaginative mind. Clearly traumatized (almost despondent and emotionless), she spoke about being brought to a place in the English countryside that looked like a “castle.” She said the route to get there was intentionally hidden from the victims. She also noted that the people there were “very rich” and had an ability to destroy evidence of murders with chemicals. They also referred to “Lucifer,” as she recalled. She detailed the horrors to which she was subjected, including being raped, being forced to have an abortion, and then being forced to eat the fetus.25Survivors of such abuse often describe links to powerful people—even governments. Anneke Lucas, for instance, was sold by her mother into a murderous pedophile ring in Belgium with “VIPs” and people “on the world stage.” Ritual abuse was involved as well.26 She documents her accounts in her 2022 book Quest for Love: Memoir of a Child Sex Slave. Another example is Serena Faith Masterson, author of I Am Serena (2020), who was born into a satanic cult and sold into the US government’s mind-control program. As a result of this torture, she developed dissociative identity disorder, including over 300 unique personalities. Only through a rare and miraculous series of events was she able to heal and tell her story. Her message is ultimately uplifting: she feels strongly that her soul grew from the experience and that she is able to contribute to the healing of others as a result. She seems to imply that suffering, while horrific in many ways, can paradoxically lead to healing and growth.

There are many cases that show a link between dark metaphysical forces and power structures in our world. Sean Stone’s documentary Best Kept Secret (2021), and John DeCamp’s book The  Franklin Cover-Up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska (1992) provide additional insights, including links with child-sex trafficking and child pornography. Another important resource that validates the reality of ritual abuse is a more than 500-page compendium featuring essays from more than twenty-five contributors, titled Ritual Abuse in the Twenty-First Century: Psychological, Forensic, Social, and Political Considerations (2008).

The point of acknowledging this dark underbelly of our world is not to dwell on evil but rather to acknowledge reality. When we ask, Why is there so much deception in our world? What is driving this?, we’re forced to consider these deeper energies that might be behind it.

Parker sums it up by saying that “the suffering and dissatisfaction of the human soul is what feeds the [dark] spirits….It’s all an energy game….We are cattle for them, and we feed them.” Yet, in spite of the unspeakable abuse he endured, he still feels that the benevolent force is greater: “Divine love is much more powerful than anything else.”27 [emphasis added]
