That makes sense.

My mom tried automatic writing when I was a kid, which produced beautiful drawings and confusingly legible and knowledgeable writing, it was very deceiving, because subsequently we had spirits starting to break all kinds of things in the house and severely oppressing her and scaring me. She told me that she was in contact with Ariel, Rubriel and Barachiel, angels, but spirits, especially demons will disguise themselves to gain easier access to you. I would not be surprised if one of the "angels" was Baraquiel, one of the leaders of the fallen angels, i.e. demons. She sought guidance from people who provided her with some para-psychological knowledge, but never really helpe her. That was all back in Germany, about 20 some years ago. When i left for the states in 1997 I hoped I could leave that part of my past behind. 3 years later my mom came to be with me and my newborn daughter. She stayed for 6.5 years. First living in a guest room in the house, and then in a trailer behind our garage when we made room for my son who was born yet another 3 years later. Sometimes I would walk by her room or trailer and I would hear her yell at someone unseen to leave her alone and go in peace. My Ex-husband thought she was crazy, but i know better. The spirits she called never fully left and still bother her. She is in poor health and bad luck/circumstances, and I can't help her. She is now back in Germany for the last few years and finally things are looking up a bit. She found a bf who is very much in tune with the spiritual, laying tarot cards and such, and i think that helps.

Either way, though, I would never recommend automatic writing! However with any way of contacting spirits, PLEASE take protective measures first for your loved ones and yourself!!! Don't do stuff unless you know exactly what you are doing or are under special guidance! It's easy to call spirits, but not often easy to get rid of them if they turn against you!

I am now in a situation where I am still battling negative energies that have followed me despite protective measures. I am however very strong spiritually, I learn more every day, consciously, and I have very strong guidance,  by people my Creator puts in my life and the spiritual kind, including guardian angels that I was blessed to experience in many different ways.

Blessings, and just please be careful!

Automatic writing is considered a physical phenomena.  That means it is produced by the lowest of spirit entities, closest to the earth plane.  And often they have not risen to the light at all.  I agree, be cautious with any physical phenomena.

The fact is that those that draw to this portal are there because they are welcomed and energized in some way.  When we open to the spirit energies, we find they are very enticing.  We may not take the proper precautions to attune ONLY to our loving, caring spirit guides.  And that is the key to success.  

When we welcome all and sundry, even in our fears, that is what we will get.  The law of attraction is strong and it works.  That which we put into motion, will be there to either help or hinder our lives.  Be wary of what you invite!  

Even when you don't understand your own attitude, it is important to be grounded and protected.  And yes, for a time they can still cross the barriers set.  That is where your own efforts at grounding and balance in life come in.
