Cooperatives are those souls who, although they may be upset, frustrated or even angry, are basically not against passing over "in principle". For more information on this, see the information I use to teach people here. This is the sort of entity that is most commonly covered by shows such as "Ghost Whisperer" - although some episodes get into less cooperative entities. (I still find that show rather frustrating to watch: I will labour through it all one day, I suppose ...)
On the other hand, uncooperatives are enjoying being earthbound - whether that is because they are indulging in revenge or some form of getting even, perhaps because they have found they can influence people so easily (see the scene in the film "Always" where Richard Dreyfuss' character snaps at a cleaner about "looking funny", thereby changing the poor unfortunate's mood and day) and are now getting back at everyone who dumped on them while they were alive, or perhaps they were always a nasty character, and have just given their nastiness full reign. They have an awareness and intent that cooperatives don't, and they may well be, to use counselling parlance, "challenging".
They will be aware of your personal sensitivities (e.g., concerns about appearance, lack of confidence, internalised homophobia, unresolved gender identity, relationship uncertainties, etc, etc, etc), and actively use them to try to aggravate or upset you, or to disrupt the group that you are working in. This can be bad enough when it is done aggressively, but the uncooperatives who do this under a facade of niceness are - to me - far more scary.
This was also mentioned in the book "Spirit Releasement Therapy", by William Baldwin.
I gave a fairly basic flow sheet on rescuing uncooperatives at my other blog (see here). The essence of this is:
- one has to use an energy, object, thought form, (controlled or slave, in the case of an uncooperative's unpleasantry) entity, etc (the general term I was taught to use is "unit", and that is what I will continue to use now) in order to manifest something - for example, to be intimidating, one has to have and be willing and able to use intimidation units (I was going to use anger as an example, but I have pointed out previously that anger is not an emotion - it is an expression of something else, so I better not shoot myself in the foot :) );
- if those units are taken away, it is - more or less - not possible (or certainly more difficult) to manifest that emotion/effect.
In that case, if the entity cannot be persuaded to become cooperative (a task often easier for those with counselling skills or extensive life experience), the entity will basically be captured, isolated from his/her/hir back-up/support, and the units being used by the entity cleared (see here, and at various places in this blog, including here) until the entity becomes cooperative enough to pass over.
Sounds simple, doesn't it?
Well, that's where the "challenging behaviour" comes in. Those undertaking this work may be provoked, taunted, mocked, etc, etc, etc - and there are cases, where the restraint is applied by bringing the entity into a medium [2] (which is NOT covered by my flow chart, which only addresses "mental" rescue), that the medium (if in deep enough a trance) may need to be physically restrained. I'm generally too much of a sticky beak to be a deep trance medium - I want to hang around and see what is going on, and see what I can learn, but I have been in the situation where my body was restrained - that actually led to some encouragement to back off out of the situation, actually, as I didn't particularly want that sort of sensation :)
Actually, there can be considerable benefits for a trance medium in volunteering to do rescue of uncooperatives. These include paying off negative karmic debt by doing good and by experiencing something unpleasant for a good cause, contributing to the amount of selflessness in the world (it takes quite a bit of generosity to allow others to use one's body ... also, look up tonglen), and, perhaps most importantly, by having a chance to see what units one may have in one's aura that one isn't aware of.
If you are, perhaps, always pleasant and cooperative, stepping out and having an entity come in who is snarling and snapping and aggressive is a shock: it can be a greater shock to notice that the entity is actually using YOUR unpleasantness units. This then gives considerable motivation to examine oneself and clear negative units, past lives and acknowledge & learn lessons that one needs to that one has been, perhaps, suppressing ... before next week's session :) My big issue that I found out about was complacency ... I already knew I had a problem with anger, and had done quite a bit of work on that. Other problems I worked on more effectively as a result of this were personal insecurity and jealousy.
Theoretically, if one is almost a saint or is a Boddhisattva in nature, when the entity is brought into your body, there are no units other than what the entity brings with her/hir/him, and those can be more easily cleared because your aura is so free of that type of unit. (Some advanced souls actually absorb negativity from other people and dissolve them: that's a little different in application to this - for a start, they are working on their own - but there are similarities of principle.)
In other words, the experience can be a growing experience as one gets to have flaws in one's character that one didn't even suspect, as they were so well buried, revealed in excruciating detail :)
Now, there are a couple of other facets to this.
Firstly, it is absolutely vital that you never lose. If you do, the entity will get a surge of confidence, and will have the advantage of knowing how you work, and thus will be able to do greater harm and help others resist your efforts to clear them. So, as the Rangers of the Inner Plane motto goes: never lose - heal, learn, win. This generally means you will be working for as long as is necessary to clear or adequately contain the entity - possibly many hours, possibly even finishing in the early hours of the morning (we generally started in the evening).
Secondly, if you have a skilled enough interviewer, it is possible to turn this around and aggravate the uncooperative. In response, they will pull in more negative units, thereby giving all the sitters the opportunity to do more clearing.
