So, I posted my last post before this one on the Health Board of OneGist Community Forum. In which one of the popular users of the forum, Hennyade responded to the thread citing the story of his cousin.
Below is Hennyade's reply and my response to his reply on the 13th of July.
Hennyade -
I fear this been a personal encounter from bj, but if it's, u already know your way out, prayer can permanently stop this, i like how the writer reacts towards the SP which makes some heart sink. Actually I never had it or probably am not noticing it, but that's a cousin greatest fear and it seems, the SP weighs heavier in some species, also hereditary by some genes, actually i cant conclude maybe it spiritual or not as am never a victim, but my cousin's SP occurs more frequently than the experience, like thrice a week or more, not sleeping properly is not a factor.My Response -
I guess it might be spiritual as the narrated experience states that if u fear it so much, it might occur more frequent, so the best explanation for something that happens when you got terrified by it is being spiritual. And when my cousin's got to a consideration point by her and her parent, they seek help spiritually and it never happens since, i mean again. Yours might be normal, but hers is out of ordinary, dangerous nightmares attached.
Henny, I'm afraid it's my experience. It's no doubt that prayer can cure SP permanently(spiritual or no spiritual). Like I stated above, "the effect of faith and believe". However I'm 80% sure your cousin's SP is not spiritual. Not sleeping properly is just the main factor but not necessarily the cause for a particular individual. Although, not sleeping properly doesn't have to be sleeping less, "but do you really sleep", "do you sleep because you must sleep or because you are feeling sleepy", "do you linger on thoughts every time when you ought to be sleeping" and so on like that....?
Now, to your cousin and what you think probably caused her own; From here to the United States, several evil stories have always been passed across to people. These stories and also some of our personal experiences stay on our mind. One could really see what these things could do to us when we were young when mere thinking of what you saw on TV before going to bed or what you heard could keep you awake, or really scared to walk in dark places.
From the way I see it, your cousin is the 'fear' type. And the fact is, there is high tendency of having another SP after your first time. This is simply because most of us accept 'intuitive' answers for what we can't explain. So, we settle for spiritual causes. Hence, the series of nightmares. . .
She wants to sleep and she'd be like,"These demons are they not going to come for me tonight again?".
Unknown to her she's setting off more anxiety thereby increasing her problem. But her problem would have been easily dealt with if she was a little bit 'analytical' about it. But I doubt she knew there was a scientific explanation to it and she wasn't really alone on a wider base.
I know you would say "why was she cured by a pastor then?": The simple theory to that is this, since some people don't believe in their personal prayers maybe 'cause they engage in so many things that are contrary to the will of God or they believe they are not strong spiritually or whatever. Also, faith is more stronger with proof. You'd agree that 'seeing is believing'. So, a Sleep Paralysis patient can be easily cured if a Pastor that has done 'real' miracles perform deliverance on them. The miracles the pastor has on his records are the proofs which will help kill the doubts on the patient's mind.
However, prayer is not for spiritual things alone, if you don't want something(not spiritual) in your life and you believe in God why not pray against such things?
BTW, hope you know that if something not venomous bit one, and one think it was a venomous snake. The effect one believe a poisonous snake should generate in one's body would manifest. . . Bro, delusion kills faster. . .
