Insidious and shadow people? Connection?

In the movie, their son gets lost when he astral projects himself. From personal experience and many other experiences alike that I have read, I believe that these beings are ghosts/demons/souls in the alternate plane of reality. And they are looking for a body to possess (being a person that has astrally projected out of their bodies). Hence why some people sleep walk. However, i dont believe these beings can remain within our bodies, once we awake, they are kicked out regardless. Anyone have any similar thoughts?

that is the first thing i thought when i saw the guy in the film with the black and the hat and the claws..

i saw that when i was a kid..

it isnt just this movie

many films have incorporated shadow people imagery

some in different ways

dark city
donnie darko
there are others but i cant recall

when i saw them as a child i thought they looked like jawas from star wars or like the penguin from batman

i am not sure where this all comes from but you know i think this phenomenon is a part of us as humans and it is embedded in our collective iconography

that does not diminish the authenticity of the actual physical experience

but the experience explains the collective iconography

more movies will come out, more artwork will come out

oh and dont forget "the shadow" an old time radio show

there was also a lesser known radio show called The Shadow People first aired September 5, 1952 you can google it.....

there are also mexican folk legends that correlate to the shadow people for many years

in mexico he has been called cucuy or charro negro

i met a guy who saw him back in the 1940's in mexico

this has been going on for some time i think....

I think movies like these are created by people who are afraid of the spiritual, and things of a spiritual nature in general. They know that they can play on this same fear in others, or simply the fear of what they don't understand. Or they could simply want to keep us afraid of the spiritual realms, making us captives of the physical.

In any case from reading William Buhlman, Albert Taylor, and other authors detailing their OBE experiences it seems that yes,m you can protect your body from invasion, but it is not needed. I think this is because a part of you is still in your body when you project. Think of your physical body as a huge water glass, and your spiritual essences as water inside. As long as even a drop remains in the glass your body is safe.

This does not eliminate the possibility of possession. There are malevolent entities out there that can take control of your body. They cannot dispossess you of your physical body, but they can control it. One must be extremely careful in the lower astral planes not to interact with demons. Robert Moss says simply to avoid any entity that offers you something if you serve it or which offers to serve you. For those of the Christian religion you have the Holy Spirit with you, so you can not be possessed, as far as I know and believe, although more research could be done here.

But as far as you body lying there while projecting with a huge space for rent sign in neon above it, no, you don't have anything to worry about it. My theory is there is some sort of connection to your physical body with your spiritual bodies, or physical states to spiritual states if you prefer. Like some sort of code that the spiritual essences of other beings will not have. Everyone has a different code, so to speak, and this code is probably a complex combination of your own unique genetic makeup, your own unique spiritual makeup, and your own unique mental makeup. My guess is that you emanate waves or vibrations or something that are unique to you and nothing else in the known or unknown universe.

So tread cautiously in the spiritual realms, but also tread confidently. Fear serves no purpose, other than to draw entities towards you that will feed on that fear, as well as any weaknesses you have.
