OtemAtum:
There was a passage of the Doctufos which talks about the truth of the past world becoming the lies of our present world. This is so because universal laws change with time. There was a time in the past world when reincarnation was only possible once, but with time, the limit of reincarnation was lifted. Even in our homosapiens era, the beginning of it was a time when people just discovered themselves on mountains and beneath the mountains, then after that period, homosapiens stopped emerging and they multiplied through reproduction instead.

Thanks for this. I get this attacks whenever I lay on my back against the bed.

It's not an attack; stop seeing it that way. It's a natural occurrence that millions of people in our age bracket experience around the world.

Just find a way to manage it, and stop believing in demonic attacks.

It's all in your head, not in reality.

If you follow the advice of all these ignorant and superstitious religious people on Nairaland, they'll complicate the problem for you and later scam you.

A heavy weight on me like something trying to squeeze out the life off of me, I have to fight it off struggling and shouting "the blood of Jesus" and no one in the room will hear me shout because my voice gets suppressed and I can only hear myself like whispering...

All of my friends know me as someone who doesn't believe in the existence of God and demons but this constant attacks has giving me concerns.

This is just sleep paralysis. Don't get worked up on something that affects many people around the world.

I still experienced all you described yesterday. And once you shift your focus to the furtherest part of your body like your toe and calm down, you'll be able to get up easily.

There's no need to mention the name of Jesus, which is useless in reality. If it works, ambulances will be taking the sick to churches for cure and pastors won't need bodyguards.

The guide in the link below will help you out. What you're experiencing is a trivial issue that's very common with many around the world.

Not so Sir.

Some people can deny gravity; it doesn't mean when they jump from a three-storeyed building, they will hang in the air. The same thing applies to the issue of the nature of religion.

It's just reality; better to study the history of something that you'll spend the most part of your life doing and use the facts about it to your favor.

Alas, most people know very little about the history of their religion, only believing their god blindly, dogmatically.

But all religious beliefs are programmings, and so-called holy books are tools of control to shape and influence one's reality (i.e to program people). The key word here is control.

Thanks for the inputs. I stated clearly that I don't believe in the existence of demons and also gave out a brief history of my religious background. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. I'm clean. No psychological breakdown either.

I'm experiencing this attacks firsthand, it's a serious matter and not a joke.

What's the nature of the attacks? Can you describe them?

Christianity Etc › Re: HELP: Series Of Demonic Attacks by A001: 3:47am On Dec 26, 2021

DemonicAttack:
Dear Nairalanders, I'm not much of a good writer so please pardon my errors. It's 3:06am and I am up because I got woken while trying to get into my body again at about 1:20am.

For quite a long time now I've been experiencing repeated demonic attacks for as long as I could remember. I feel so monitored no matter what part of the State within the country I travel to.

I get attacks even during taking naps and at night even worse. Someone tracks my every movement. Some nights and during the day while sleeping I usually feel a heavy weight on me, someone trying to squeeze out the life in me, I have to struggle and then shouting the name of Jesus before I could get released from this demon.

My life has been so stagnated, no matter how much I struggle and work so hard usually ends without positive results. I got a demonic attack on the 25th of December, 2021 being yesterday while taking a nap, I also got attacked a couple of minutes ago hence I had to write this out on here.

A brief history of my family background;
My parents[deceased] were staunch Christians especially my mom, she was one woman whom did not have a particular church because she was always looking miracles. As kids she took us to many different churches from one spiritual assignments to another. Sometimes some of these churches held vigils at our home. I feel like during the course of this spiritual journey taken by my parents along the way, I must have attracted someone whom have choosed to monitor my every movement and make my life miserable.

I grew up hating churches and men of god because my childhood experiences while growing up because my parents caused it. Even now, I still go to church once in a while, not a regular. I'm baptized too.

I've been one person who never believed in the existence of demons but with this consistency of series of attacks is giving me concerns.

I'm trying to avoid not to attract more of these demons in the course of seeking for help because the one currently chasing after me has made my life a living hell.

I understand how you feel perfectly.

But demons don't exist in reality. They only exist as a figment of the imagination of those that believe in their existence.

What you need is to be treated by a good psychiatrist; try to see one as soon as possible because mental issues like this occur in stages.

But more importantly, make conscious effort to look after your mental health by determining the things that trigger your mental health issues.

Common triggers of mental health problems are some harmful religious beliefs, substance use and abuse, traumatic events, unmet or unfulfilled expectations in life, unanswered prayers, and so on.

If you don't abuse drugs (as I suspect), then your religious beliefs could be what trigger your mental health issues, especially your beliefs about demons and your core beliefs about yourself (try to turn any negative things you believe about yourself and your life to positive ones using daily affirmations and auto-suggestions).

If what triggers your mental health issues is your religious or spiritual beliefs, the best thing would have been to let go of religion totally because it's really of no use.

But I know that can be hard for an average Nigerian. However, you can at least let go of any religious beliefs that imperil your mental health.

Again, demons don't exist; get psychiatric help; and consciously look after your mental health the way you do with your physical health.

Two key elements constituting a human are mental and physical aspects.

The JWST will be parked at the Lagrangian points (L2 in the figure above), about one million miles above the Earth.

But What is a Lagrange Point?

Lagrange points are positions in space where objects sent there tend to stay put. At Lagrange points, the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them.

These points in space can be used by spacecraft to reduce fuel consumption needed to remain in position.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foyJzvpeaBE

Lagrange Points are positions in space where the gravitational forces of a two body system like the Sun and the Earth produce enhanced regions of attraction and repulsion.

These can be used by spacecraft to reduce fuel consumption needed to remain in position.

Lagrange points are named in honor of Italian-French mathematician Josephy-Louis Lagrange.

There are five special points where a small mass can orbit in a constant pattern with two larger masses.

The Lagrange Points are positions where the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them.

This mathematical problem, known as the "General Three-Body Problem" was considered by Lagrange in his prize winning paper (Essai sur le Problème des Trois Corps, 1772).

Of the five Lagrange points, three are unstable and two are stable. The unstable Lagrange points - labeled L1, L2 and L3 - lie along the line connecting the two large masses.

The stable Lagrange points - labeled L4 and L5 - form the apex of two equilateral triangles that have the large masses at their vertices. L4 leads the orbit of earth and L5 follows.

The L1 point of the Earth-Sun system affords an uninterrupted view of the sun and is currently home to the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory Satellite SOHO.

The L2 point of the Earth-Sun system was the home to the WMAP spacecraft, current home of Planck, and future home of the James Webb Space Telescope.

L2 is ideal for astronomy because a spacecraft is close enough to readily communicate with Earth, can keep Sun, Earth and Moon behind the spacecraft for solar power and (with appropriate shielding) provides a clear view of deep space for our telescopes.

The L1 and L2 points are unstable on a time scale of approximately 23 days, which requires satellites orbiting these positions to undergo regular course and attitude corrections.

NASA is unlikely to find any use for the L3 point since it remains hidden behind the Sun at all times. The idea of a hidden planet has been a popular topic in science fiction writing.

The L4 and L5 points are home to stable orbits so long as the mass ratio between the two large masses exceeds 24.96.

This condition is satisfied for both the Earth-Sun and Earth-Moon systems, and for many other pairs of bodies in the solar system.

Objects found orbiting at the L4 and L5 points are often called Trojans after the three large asteroids Agamemnon, Achilles and Hector that orbit in the L4 and L5 points of the Jupiter-Sun system.

(According to Homer, Hector was the Trojan champion slain by Achilles during King Agamemnon's siege of Troy).

There are hundreds of Trojan Asteroids in the solar system.

Most orbit with Jupiter, but others orbit with Mars. In addition, several of Saturn's moons have Trojan companions.

In 1956 the Polish astronomer Kordylewski discovered large concentrations of dust at the Trojan points of the Earth-Moon system.

The DIRBE instrument on the COBE satellite confirmed earlier IRAS observations of a dust ring following the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

The existence of this ring is closely related to the Trojan points, but the story is complicated by the effects of radiation pressure on the dust grains.

In 2010 NASA's WISE telescope finally confirmed the first Trojan asteroid (2010 TK7) around Earth's leading Lagrange point.

Finding the Lagrange Points

The easiest way to understand Lagrange points is to think of them in much the same way that wind speeds can be inferred from a weather map.

The forces are strongest when the contours of the effective potential are closest together and weakest when the contours are far apart.

NASA's Webb Telescope Launches to See First Galaxies, Distant Worlds

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope launched at 7:20 a.m. EST Saturday on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, South America.

A joint effort with ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency, the Webb observatory is NASA’s revolutionary flagship mission to seek the light from the first galaxies in the early universe and to explore our own solar system, as well as planets orbiting other stars, called exoplanets.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope launched Dec. 25 at 7:20 a.m. EST on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America.

“The James Webb Space Telescope represents the ambition that NASA and our partners maintain to propel us forward into the future,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

“The promise of Webb is not what we know we will discover; it’s what we don’t yet understand or can’t yet fathom about our universe. I can’t wait to see what it uncovers!”

Ground teams began receiving telemetry data from Webb about five minutes after launch. The Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket performed as expected, separating from the observatory 27 minutes into the flight.

The observatory was released at an altitude of approximately 870 miles (1,400 kilometers). Approximately 30 minutes after launch, Webb unfolded its solar array, and mission managers confirmed that the solar array was providing power to the observatory.

After solar array deployment, mission operators will establish a communications link with the observatory via the Malindi ground station in Kenya, and ground control at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore will send the first commands to the spacecraft.

Engineers and ground controllers will conduct the first of three mid-course correction burns about 12 hours and 30 minutes after launch, firing Webb’s thrusters to maneuver the spacecraft on an optimal trajectory toward its destination in orbit about 1 million miles from Earth.

“I want to congratulate the team on this incredible achievement – Webb’s launch marks a significant moment not only for NASA, but for thousands of people worldwide who dedicated their time and talent to this mission over the years,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

“Webb’s scientific promise is now closer than it ever has been. We are poised on the edge of a truly exciting time of discovery, of things we’ve never before seen or imagined.”

The world’s largest and most complex space science observatory will now begin six months of commissioning in space.

At the end of commissioning, Webb will deliver its first images. Webb carries four state-of-the-art science instruments with highly sensitive infrared detectors of unprecedented resolution. Webb will study infrared light from celestial objects with much greater clarity than ever before.

The premier mission is the scientific successor to NASA’s iconic Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, built to complement and further the scientific discoveries of these and other missions.

“The launch of the Webb Space Telescope is a pivotal moment – this is just the beginning for the Webb mission,” said Gregory L. Robinson, Webb’s program director at NASA Headquarters.

“Now we will watch Webb’s highly anticipated and critical 29 days on the edge. When the spacecraft unfurls in space, Webb will undergo the most difficult and complex deployment sequence ever attempted in space.
Once commissioning is complete, we will see awe-inspiring images that will capture our imagination.”

The telescope’s revolutionary technology will explore every phase of cosmic history – from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, to everything in between.

Webb will reveal new and unexpected discoveries and help humanity understand the origins of the universe and our place in it.

NASA Headquarters oversees the mission for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages Webb for the agency and oversees work on the mission performed by the Space Telescope Science Institute, Northrop Grumman, and other mission partners. In addition to Goddard, several NASA centers contributed to the project, including the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, and others.

You don't need to rate her better than Simi.

Asa is way better than Simi.

Majority of Simi's popular songs are above love while Asa can sing about just anything.

Asa is in a league of her own.

Yes, Asa is a goddess in her own league, and many of her songs are evergreen and classic.

That's a rare feat in the Nigerian music industry reserved for legendary figures like Fela, Chief Ebenezer Obey, Chief Stephen Osadebe, Oliver de Coque, among others.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by A001: 8:25pm On Dec 25, 2021*

In the past, Nigerian songs were of low quality, except the few works of Fela, 2face, Styl Plus, Sound Sultan, and a couple of others.

But these days, the quality of releases from Nigerian artists has soared with talented musicians like Burnaboy, Wizkid, Olamide, Fireboy, Joeboy, Rema, Simi dominating the music industry with contents that are sellable internationally.

In particular, I find the voice of this guy, Johnny Drille, spectacularly melodious and the lyrical content of his songs insightfully rich.

(He deserves more accolades than he's getting for his songs.)

In spite of the major improvements in the quality of songs, most of the artists in the country produce songs of low quality as far as the lyrical content is concerned, with zero originality.

They're more or less noises.

A prime example is Zazoozeh currently making waves in the entertainment industry: Much ado about nothing.

Lyrics is zero; voice is zero; but the beat is okay.

In this regard, Naira Marley also deserves a mention.

Before I stopped listening to music Nigerian artistes didn't entice me only few of them I feel, the likes of Pherocious, Terry Tha Rapman, Mode9, Jesse Jagz, Eldee, IllBliss, Phenom, Brymo and Banky W these ones could measure lyrically with lyricists outside the shores of Nigeria but as for others they're noisemakers. As for the females artistes Simi is the only one with the vocal range and melody

Before Simi came into the limelight, there was Asha, who is a supremely gifted artist. In terms of lyrics and voice, she's far ahead of Simi.
