Soul Eaters at Death

[AAGAAM]

First off, thanks for setting up this forum and website. Coming from a lot of other spiritual wanderings, it's nice to find this type of approach and resources. Still going through the videos and forum, but I wanted to see if anyone has thoughts on the idea that when we physically die, there may be beings waiting to attack us?

From what I understand, that moment at death is key regardless of what tradition, religion, or whatever you believe. The reason I ask, is about two years ago I did Iboga in a ceremonial setting and on my third journey I saw something which started me down this path.

Obviously the Abrahamic religions have the concept of tollhouses/veils on the way to heaven, but then the Gnostics have the Archons/planets that you need to get past to reach the escape. Even the Semitic groups in the area, like Mandeans have the fear of getting attacked at death.

I recently started looking into how Buddhists view this too. The Book of the Dead is focused on that bardo period and famously advises to stay away from the bright light. However, the Pure Land claims a retinue of attendants and Amitabha will visit you and usher you away at death (never mind that fact that he is by definition not a human or even from Earth).

A lot of new agey stuff is pretty cringe, but my interest was again recently piqued by authors talking about aliens/shadows/etc attacking us at death and that the goal is to break through (e.g. Dr. Corrado Malanga, Castaneda, Gurdjieff, respectively).

My take away from the past couple years is to meditate and build up the self to basically be ready to storm the beach on the other side, but I just wanted to see if there are any good resources that others have come across with regards to this. Thanks!

I don't know how it is in general, but I have an entity that hates my guts and everything that I do. He was around me targetting me but something happen and now he is inside, he calls me a spider for this. Soon enough I will destroy him. Some things he says are 1. You will hate yourself when you die. 2 I hate they way you behave. 3 You are a terrible person. I imagine if I would die I would 100% face his bullying but without the power to destroy him.

That's pretty interesting. Do you have any idea on why he calls you a spider? That is an interesting choice.

Because He was walking around free now he is stuck in my ''net'' and he can't escape me

You’re not a spider trust me. It WANTS to be attached to you. It’s a parasite. These things can’t do anything without a host. It says stuff like that to you for the same reason it says all the crap things it says. Just to confuse you and make you feel bad. Likes it your fault it’s ‘caught in your web’. No it’s not. It needs you. I’m not entirely sure how to get rid of it. But if it wanted to go, it would. It’s tormenting you for a reason. It feeds off of your energy and fear and related. I’m not sure if ignoring it helps. But certainly don’t listen to it if you can help. It has nothing useful to offer other than confusion and assault.

That is a good observation, it reminds me of Don Juan talking about the black shadows that attach and control us. His solution was to starve them, so like Eric13 said, starve it through controlling the mind instead of letting it feed.

Thanks for the comments!

It burns with Satanic Blue fire very good, it gets desperate and attacks with alot of rage after I burn it. This is why I think it is frustrated about me ''spiding'', because I can destroy it now. I remember hearing things in my mind exactly like it is saying now a LONG TIME ago, the difference is it would say one time and stay away, in a hit and run, but now it can't, he is forced to be there all the time in my web. I am pretty sure it influences people around to mistreat me, because sometimes with out any reason people are looking weird at me like the entity goes into their mind and transmits bad thoughts to them, sometimes when the entity is frustrated about people treating me well I could hear a bzzzzzz because this entity got enraged.
