Bestes Zitat aus Spiritual Looting and the Open Door: Trauma and Boundaries
When you’re in deep grief or trauma, your brain’s gatekeeping function—the part that usually filters out what’s safe and what’s not—actually starts to suppress. It’s like the 'covenantal architecture' of who you are temporarily gets dismantled because you’re just trying to survive the pain.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Spiritual looting occurs when an individual is in a state of deep grief or trauma, such as a family crisis, leaving them feeling raw and vulnerable. During these times, the person's spiritual door is open, making them more permeable to aggressive energy shifts and negative influences from others. This phenomenon often happens when a person has lost their center, allowing external forces to take advantage of their weakened state.
Trauma can temporarily dismantle a person's covenantal architecture, which refers to the essential boundaries that define where one individual ends and another begins. When someone is focused on surviving intense pain, the brain's gatekeeping function—the mechanism that filters safe and unsafe interactions—is suppressed. This biological and spiritual shift removes the natural filters that usually protect a person's identity and energy from outside intrusion.
Permeability increases during grief because the emotional and biological systems are overwhelmed by the struggle to survive. This state of being more permeable means that the usual boundaries are lowered, creating an open door for intrusive spirits or negative influences. As discussed by researchers like Joycelynn, this isn't an intentional invitation of negativity, but rather a byproduct of deep emotional trauma that leaves a person in a state of invasion.
