I experienced sleep paralysis several times where you are conscious but can't move and experience intense dread and or hallucinate malicious entities. However, there's a black wolf laying beside me to comfort or protect me. Does this sound like anything you experienced?

There are a lot of definitions of "Therian". I think one that is appropriate is "animal shaman". Many (most? all?) Therians are open to shamanistic experiences - many of us are practicing shamans.

Although I don't believe that what Therians are is paranormal (no0 more than the average Joe, anyway) I do believe that Therianthropy opens us up to paranormal experiences.

I have "attracted" entities most of my life until I became "dangerous" to entities. Therians have a knack for destroying other entities and when they find that out, entities become leery of us.

For instance, a hag rode one of our participants into a SEHowl a few years ago and, when it found out that it was surrounded by Weres, it hightailed it up out of the canyon. It hovered around up there the whole time, wanting to attack us but resisting the temptation. After we left, it came back down and one of our people went back and exterminated it.

Well, I would say so (I do the "hand thing myself, so I know what you're talking about). On the other hand, a lot of Therians seem to have a thing going with static electricity. For instance, I almost had a thumb nail blown off with static in my laundry - it turned black. We seem to attract lightening.

When people in a mystical, shamanic, or New Age tradition starts talking about energy, it's sorta hard to pin down just exactly what they're talking about and I suspect that most of them don't really know themselves. I'm not so sure that what they often call energy would be recognized as such by a physicist. I'm thinking,perhaps, that a more accurate term might be "information", or a cross between the two with a little matter, some psychology, and other things thrown in for seasoning.

Spirit is a "resonant" material. It exists in everything but it's normally inert - it's not living and doesn't possess mind - spirit in inert objects can be "awakened" by resonance with other beings that are sentient. That's the basis of talismans, amulets, sentinels, wardings, and such. It's also where Earth gets her mind.

@lupinalchemist, I think that's what he's saying. in my earlier post where I mentioned my body vibrating, can also be described as a tingling/static sensation going through my whole body. It probably didn't feel like normal static because you felt going through your hands, instead of feeling it from another object.

That body vibrating/tingly/static sensation can be produced by working on your energy body. Folks can experience this by practicing Tai Chi, Reiki, anything that manipulates energy. It's not a therian only thing.

SnowCrystal--  Do you have these spiritual / paranormal experiences more in Summer or Winter?



Siverwolf.

I've had a few experiences where I've felt and experienced some paranormal things but u've always chalked it up to nerves. But looking back at them, something was definitely there. Kinda strange, but still, I feel there's a reasonable explanation for paranormal activity. But that's just me being cynical I guess.

Right so there's not really any reason to believe in such paranormal activities.

I hear fluorescent lights, 60 hz vibrations in faulty circuits and other electronic noise - you really can't get away from it. If I attend to it, it'll drive me nuts (well, more than usual, anyway).

Except to me it really sounds like a radio is quietly playing in my head. Another example is hearing 50 million voices saying words in an seemingly endless string of gibberish sentences. You would think I would go insane after several years, but I see it as a normal thing and am unfazed by it.

I'm able to function in society, so I'm not that insane.

What's even more f-ed up is I can indirectly predict what's on tv. I randomly think about a tiny part in a specific episode of a random show. Less than 24 hours later I find it on tv. This happens so many times, I begun to hate it.

@lupinalchemist, that's probably the intuition. @WolfVanZandt, why does that happen, an anonymous trigger in the mind.
