Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Pyramid and Spiritual Parasites

Q.  Hello Lynn, thank you so much for all of your hard work and consistency. I have a few related questions about energy, hierarchy and parasites in the spirit world. I'll split it into three parts.

Part 1: Spirit energy - Does it only come from Source? What can it be used for once you have it? Does having lots of spirit energy elevate you to a god-like status in the spirit realm? Or is there a limit to how much you get to keep?
A.  I see the soul as a ball of light.  Every living thing regardless of what plane they reside has this, and that is what connects us as beings. My understanding is this connection is what enables us to psychically communicate with one another.  

The spirit is the energetic spark that keeps us alive.  It is what creates the electric charge that powers the brain and keeps the involuntary systems running.  When the soul enters the body it creates a place holder, but it is the spirit that starts the heart.  

The psychic system runs in parallel to the neurological system, so when someone has a high level of spiritual energy it often crosses over from the neurological system (and vice versa) and heightens all the "clairs."  This does come from Source/God and can be used to strengthen psychic abilities if developed (rather than suppressed).  It does not make you "God-like."  It is more like a gift from God to enable you to help others in a unique way.  

I cannot resonate anything relating to being like Source or God.  That would be a huge ego term, and that person would most likely block themselves or be blocked from growing (if they thought themselves a God).  Being humble and grounded is the best way take these gifts and allow them to grow.  

(Personal experience here:  I had a mentor several years ago.  She was very gifted and shared that when she was younger she abused her gifts for personal gain.  When she did that, her gifts were taken.  It took several years for her to gain them back, and now she approaches everything with respect and applies a strong ethical code.  You cannot abuse or get cocky with your gifts because they can be revoked.)

Part 2: Hierarchy - I keep seeing references in psychic readings and hypnosis sessions regarding spirits (good and bad).  Supposedly they have to consult their superiors or send energy they collect up the chain, like a spiritual pyramid scheme. Is the spirit world really organized like a bureaucracy? Who (or what) is at the top of these pyramids, deciding what information to give out and receiving all that energy? 

A.  To be honest, I do not relate to this at all.  I do think some beings in Spirit (meaning they are the energy minus the physical body) have higher vibrations than others, and reside more comfortably in different planes.  I don't see any kind of energetic pyramid here.  If something is feeding off a person or other spirit, it is an entity and needs shifted.  An entity takes the energy for themselves and doesn't pass it along.  You don't want to entertain that kind of being.

Part 3: Spiritual Parasites - I believe that schizophrenia (and some other mental problems) are caused by parasitic spirit attachments. They seem to have all kind of sneaky tricks to get consent/permission from their victim to drain their energy. What is the point of this kind of activity? Do spirit beings need energy to survive like we need food? What happens when a spirit is totally drained of energy? Can it die?
A.  I see what happens is when someone is mentally challenged, or carrying themselves in a low vibration (I get why alcohol is also called spirits) they are open to psychic attack.  

Why?  Because things on the other side want to be heard.  When we are weakened for any reason it makes it easier to get us to allow them to come through.  They may plant a thought that is hard to shake or even influence us to go down a dark path.  You can give permission without even realizing you are doing it in some instances.

It uses the person as a host to express itself.  If the spirit gets drained then it moves to a new host.  It doesn't really die, it just keeps trying.  It is as if it gets slow and sluggish, and when a host starts to connect it gets energized.  

If you don't feel yourself, take some time to sit in that space and reflect.  You are strong enough to fight it off, you just have to know that you can.

And that is all I have for this reading.  Thank you.  Love and light, Lynn
