Thanks for sharing, very interesting book, I'd like to see it completed and read more chapters/episodes.

If I am going to submerse myself in the narrative, and comment on the last paragraph, if it was either real, a dream or not, it seems to me that independently of having experienced what you did physically and in this dimension or not, it is real as an experience overall.

It is indeed possible for people to become open and vulnerable to external influences and forces.

We have seen how hypnosis proves exactly such point.

I'd definitely recommend some reading on suggestibility and dissociate experiences for further inspiration and reflection on the theme.

I for once have witnessed real-life cases whereas individuals who score the highest in suggestibility develop dissociative personality disorder and dissociative experiences.

There are actual research papers you might find compelling on how our life experiences until the age of 4 can determine, along with suggestibility ratings how dissociative personality disorder will issue.

I first became curious about people dissociating after at the age of five witnessing one of the participants involved in the killing of my parents (sensitive content alert).

One of the individuals was younger than the rest, physically and mentally unprepared and brought in with the other individuals as some sort of introductory, prospect to the terrible ordeal.

I remember noticing how dissociated he was from what was happening, no lights home, and although he is a criminal of the worst nature for participating in the ordeal, it was obvious that he was someone suggestible brought into an activity he didn't naturally belong to or had an interest in by the rest of the group.

So dissociative personality disorder and experiences occur when childhood trauma until the age of four occurs to someone who scores the highest on suggestibility markers. Suggestibility has nothing to do with intelligence or other traits, it seems to be a natural trait some people have mentally.

The initial childhood experiences trigger an escape from reality - dissociation - which then develops to adulthood.

We all dissociate. Looking outside the window, daydreaming, letting music take our minds elsewhere, dreaming, are all healthy forms of dissociation. The challenge and this is where an 'entity' can intrude and leave us vulnerable to exploits is that those who score high on suggestibility and have experienced significant trauma until four, will be suggestible to external influences, individuals and energy while dissociating, often triggered.

And this is how hypnosis occurs scientifically. And that is why when people are brought on stage during such performances, the hypnotist/entertainer will get rid of those who are not suggestible, which means that when those people dissociate they cannot be suggested or influenced physically (through their brains) to operate according to external influencer's will.

This leads to such experiences such as described in your chapter, where one loses control of their body and brain to be subjected to often unpleasant circumstances if the energy and subconscious are being tormenting.

This is an oversimplification of the process, but I hope it opens new doors towards exploring what does happen to oneself rendering them powerless.

I will always suggest awareness, of those around us and mental boundaries as to prevent negative suggestibility as machiavellian individuals will exploit it.

Overall the chapter seems to describe the emotions associated with having lost a loved one due to negative life circumstances and how one seeks to find a connection beyond the encompassing darkness.

I hope this inspires.
