Darkness is part of our life. Whether it’s one of the polarities in our world (light vs
dark, yin vs yang), or parts of our subconsciousness mind – which needs to be put into the light of our consciousness. And even though I don’t like scary movies at all, the following story might sound a bit creepy. Yet, it felt like the Universe had something luminous & some kind of healing in mind.

Cuba

When I was living in Madrid, in somewhat of a pension, I shared the flat with nine people. We had three bathrooms and one big kitchen, where we could cook our own meals. And since many of us were from abroad, we had all kinds of cuisines being prepared in that kitchen. One of those people was a guy from Cuba, and he had issues with space.

He would cook, and the whole kitchen seemed to be his: all the pots, bowls, and cooling plates would be spread around the kitchen. So you can imagine how annoying it was, when you had nine more people who wanted to cook at some point. Let alone when he had left all the dirty stuff everywhere, and more than once. And there it went wrong.

Pissed

People were already telling him that he should clean up the place, after his extensive cooking. Prepared food should be put in the fridge, if he wanted to cool it down, and the dirty dishes should be cleaned up right away, right? But he was as deaf as a post to all our requests. So I decided to write a little letter with a request in the morning, and put it on some of his dirty dishes. But once I got home I found this little note in return put under my door, with a message apparently addressed to me: “You can shuff it into your ass.” I got pissed, and because I heard him and some other flatmates in the kitchen, I went straight to the place.

Floating in the Hall Way

We argued, it even got tensed, but mainly because of the other flatmates, it didn’t escalate. At least till some point, so I thought. But it went into a different direction. That evening I was lying in bed, and I was still a bit mad about the whole situation. And while I was trying to relax, I suddenly saw this female appearance in front of my third eye, floating in the long hall way which included the doors of six rooms, and the door to the kitchen – while one of those doors belonged to this Cuban guy. I was surprised, but I even got shocked when she said: “If you wanted to, I could get into his room, and startle him”, referring to the Cuban guy.

Well, I was pissed, but I would never want something like that to happen. So I told her firmly: no. But since I wasn’t sure if it might have been some projection of my subconscious mind – I mean, I had been angry and annoyed -, or maybe some lost Soul, I figured: maybe I could release some of this, or her, frustration. So I told her: “I don’t want you to scare him, but if it would make you feel better, you could shout a bit in order to get rid of your pain or frustration. Since she approved, I saw her doing it, while she was still floating in the hall way. And there it would end, this weird experience of mine. But I was actually wrong.

Cleaning Lady

Almost two months passed by, and things seem normal in our pension. Till ‘the cleaning lady’ – who happened to live in the pension for free, as part of the deal – texted us in our Whatsapp group: “Could you all please clean up all your food properly, since I am detecting… cockroaches in the kitchen.” Now it couldn’t be a matter of hygiene or bad cleaning in the kitchen, ’cause the cleaning lady was obsessive about her job – three times per week she would clean up the bathrooms, the hall way, and the kitchen as a true passionate professional. So I doubted that. But why did it happen then?

I started to google, and the most possible reason was – of course – a lack of hygiene. But I knew that it couldn’t be the case, since the cleaning lady was really good at her job. So I looked further, and with my mouth open I read that ‘black magic’ could be the cause of such a thing as well. Shoot, that would be something. But how and who?, I wondered.

So I asked the cleaning lady when it had started. And she told me that it got a bit out of hand by now, but it had actually started like less than two months ago – while we never had such complaints, during all the three years that I had been living there. So I was in shock, especially once I realized that my fight with the Cuban guy was like two months ago. Consequently I wondered: did my fight with him have something to do with it? Or the female appearance? Or maybe both?

Alarmed

In the meantime the owner of the pension had been alarmed by the cleaning lady, and he hired some pest controllers in order to deal with the situation. So they got into all our rooms to spray these places with some stuff. Now the weirdest thing was, so I realized along the process, that none of us had any problems with cockroaches in our rooms, except for one room: the room of a friend of mine. And she had just moved into it, since it was better than her former room in the pension – further away from the kitchen, so less noise from cooking people. But before that, he was living there, the Cuban guy. So I figured: technically only his room was affected by cockroaches – apart from the kitchen. Weird, so I thought.

Ho’oponopono

Not knowing what the exact reason was (the how, why, who) I opted for the safest course of action – just to make things sure. If there was some kind of ‘black magic’ causing this whole event, or the female appearance had to do something with it, the least what I could do, was sending love and light to the kitchen and the former room of the Cuban guy. And asking for forgiveness to the female appearance, on behalf of the person who might have hurt her, or had made her upset; for the reason why she had felt the urge to shout in the hall way in the first place – all according to the Hawaiian Ho’oponopono ritual of forgiveness and healing. So I did – in one of my meditations – as soon as I could. And you might know the outcome already, right?

In a couple of days – or at least not more than a week – the cleaning lady texted us again, with the message that the whole situation was solved. It seemed that the exterminators had done their job properly. The kitchen was clean again, and my friend’s room as well – saved from the cockroaches.

Something Weird

Now it could have been the pest controllers who got rid of them. But these people had been working on it for a longer period of time – already before I did the meditation. And there was something else, something weird, that put the whole situation in a different perspective. Normally the owner of the pension was quite strict when it came to guests who were renting rooms and causing any kind of problem. But with the Cuban guy he acted differently. While this guy had crossed the lines several times before – and even the cleaning lady had complained about him to the owner, someone the owner would normally take seriously. But still, for some reason this Cuban guy was able to get away with all his bad behaviour.

And before this whole situation I had sensed and noticed more weird things between the owner and the Cuban guy. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had, or were having, some kind of affair. And because of that the owner must have had a weak spot for him. Or… the Cuban guy was familiar with black magic and acted in such a way towards the owner – for whatsover reason.

Cleanse

Anyways, I don’t know what was all behind the whole situation and the relationship that those guys were having. But mainly because of my friend – a fellow healer in The Netherlands – I started to reflect in a particular way about the whole situation as well: maybe I had just sensed something dark, and since I was clairvoyant enough to detect it, I was able to bring some light into the place and to the feminine appearance. And maybe she saw an opportunity to find her way out of it, by addressing to me. Or the place just needed some light to cleanse the darkness that was present over there.

Guess I am not fully sure. I just know that darkness will disappear once we shine our light onto it. Whether it’s some dark place, people with dark intentions, or the dark corners in our subconscious mind. And perhaps that’s mainly why we are here on earth.
