I received another example of a book changing the dynamics and energy around the reader. I don't believe that is an uncommon phenomenon. Have you ever experienced a similar event?
A reader responded to my previous post 'GOD'S FOOD': AN UNINTENDED TALE?:
"Dear, Lon. I just read your post on 'God's Food - An Unintended Tale?' and it reminded me of my own experience with a particular book back in high school.
It was the summer of 1998, I was 14 and going into junior high. The reading list given that summer was rather boring. So when we were at the bookstore, I asked my mom to also buy me a separate book, since I enjoyed reading and none of the books on the reading list seemed like they were going to satisfy the itch.
I saw the front cover of the book 'Sleepers,' by Lorenzo Carcaterra, and thought it looked intriguing. If you are not familiar with the story, it was supposed to be a true story, and I remember the book cover had a picture of the actors in the 1996 film.
I read this book in the evenings, usually after dinner and once we were all settled into our own activities. My home was not without its family dramas, and my father was always hard on me (I am the firstborn). I would do anything to avoid his wrath, and books were a refuge for me.
Nonetheless, I began to realize that whenever I read this book, bad things would happen. I have blocked out most of these memories, but I do remember that it was almost like I was absorbing the negative energy from the story into my life.
If it was a calm evening, something would happen with my father, and I would get punished severely, more than other nights/weeks. Or there would be strong arguments between my parents. Other times, the negativity happened the next day.
But if things were already heavy at home, and I read from the pages, things would go over the top. Once I noticed this pattern, I decided to stop reading this book.
I believe that book is still in a box somewhere in storage. I never had the desire to finish reading it, and I never had the desire to watch the film, even to this day.
It would be interesting to know if anyone else has had this type of experience with that book, or with others - and more importantly, why or how does this happen? Are we inviting the energies into our homes and lives? Are people who are stressed more sensitive or vulnerable to these energies?" Jon
NOTE: I believe that outside influences, like books, films, etc., can affect the energy around us. Over time, I have received similar accounts where the experiencer would recognize that certain events would change the dynamics of life. It's an interesting phenomenon. Lon
