Sleep paralysis occurs when a person, either while falling asleep or upon awakening, is unable to move—even though they’re fully aware. This often comes with frightening hallucinations and has been called many names worldwide, such as “Old Hag Syndrome” in the West.

It thus flows from God toward us, and we are then drawn back into communion with God. As those united to God through Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, Christians are enabled to respond to God's love.

St. Frances of Rome (1384–1440) displayed mystical gifts from childhood.

In fact, she founded a community of Benedictine oblates who live according to the Rule of St. Benedict, each according to her own state in life; the community now counts thousands of members worldwide.

Where am I? Who am I? Where am I going? I think it is good for a man to pause and ask himself these questions. I do not ask you where you are in the eyes of your family, friends, or the community in which you live.

In addition, they see metaphysics as helpful toward improving the quality of their daily lives, whether it be better health, more loving relationships, inner peace, or guidance for success and prosperity.
