Bloodshot eyes stared at the crucifix six inches from his nose. Leather restraints lined with lamb's wool laid down his arms and legs to the chair. The man possessed by the devil threw the hand holding the holy symbol. gnashing teeth struggled to bite my wrist tight.
Crimson scratches and cryptic signs Throughout his belly. Blood and sweat spattered the floor around the brute, and a puddle of urine under his chair slowly spread until the priest could not avoid being in it. The satanic beast chewed his tongue and the tender flesh inside his cheek. His tortured mouth spit blood and tissue and obscenities at those attending the exorcism.
What we have here is a Hollywood-embellished, grotesque superstition at work.
What happened to cause rational people to accept this remnant of archaic religious authorities attempt to control the masses with fear? Frightened followers submit under scare tactics of hellfire and damnation. This is doubly effective because the authorities believe in what they are teaching people. They too fear the evil entities brought to life by their imagination.
Why are we so vulnerable to this indoctrination? Since all souls are coded to look for God begin our life on earth with a "god-shaped hole 'in our soul. God put it there so we want to find the way back to him.
We spend our lives trying to fill the "empty space". We pack with lovers, religion, money, drugs, work, excitement, gambling, etc. None of these attacks, I get right on the search again looking for love, for attachment, for distraction, and implementation.
In the ancient religions of Abraham through Jesus Christ and Mohammed, the lower nature of human beings has been presented as demons, devils and Satan. These names are allegorical to turn away from God and goodness.
The pure teachings of the Messengers of God has never suggested that demons, devils, Satanic powers, or fallen angels are merely allegory. The Church and Hollywood borrowed their concepts and descriptions of these actors and their work from Dante's Inferno ", written more than 700 years ago during the European Middle Ages Dark.
Family traditions, religious teachings, television, films, books and instill the belief in demons, devils, and possession. When someone in authority tells a person who is possessed by a demon, most believe. Traditions, television, films, books and show people how a possessed person is supposed to act. purpuras psychogenic stress is the medical term for bruising and bleeding from the skin and mucous membranes. It is common in cases of great emotional stress. E '"super hives." Exorcisms are created to man these demons.
As cultures, they recognize the absurdity surrounding religious superstition and dogma. Today we understand that the Greek and Roman mythological gods were a phenomenon of that age, and our enlightenment invests less and less afraid of imaginary devils and demons. Education shines its light into dark corners of the mind. fear of a culture of demons is in direct relation to the training of its people.
The fear of an overwhelming power of evil is a learned fear. And 'taught to control people's behavior. Religious belief and spiritual authority without the influence of science is superstition. In the same way that Galileo was excommunicated from the church for saying that the earth was the center of the universe, people are controlled by a belief in demons and demonic possession.
Some religions have become the bastion of superstition. I attended both a voodoo service and a holy roller church service. The physical actions appeared the same. The incomprehensible guttural sound the same. They both had people rolling on the floor in a state of spiritual ecstasy, and both teach demonic possession.
We live in a world of great scientific discovery, a world of brain science and neurotransmitters. Why do you think the chemical lithium can exorcise a demon? Because PCP unleash a demon? If you look at demonic possession clinically, there schizophrenia, psychoses, Tourettes Syndrome, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.
In cases where a belief in demons is strongest, incidents of possession are strongest. This is common sense, folks. People who fear demons, find demons to fear. People who care about demonic possession, demons found to possess them. People, who imagine demons are lurking and waiting for a chance to pounce on them, pounced on to achieve.
The people who understand the psychological impact of superstition and fear, know that they are fully responsible for yourself, and have never possessed by mythical demons. People who know that old houses creak, squirrels make nests in the attic, and underground caverns cause infrasound vibrations are not haunted by demons. Why? I think you know the answer.
An evil spirit is nothing but a bad attitude ... a spirit of hatred, the spirit of greed, a spirit of cruelty, etc. And you can choose to replace these with a spirit of joy, a spirit of love, a spirit of giving. These are choices from a human free will. We choose how we think, what we do, and what we say. "The devil made me do" is a powerful alternative to accepting responsibility for our own free will choices and behaviors.
So how do you exorcise demons? By seeing them for what they are, unhealthy childhood experiences of abuse mental, emotional or physical. Sick raise families of sick children. Sick children raise more sick children. Love the environment, food exorcise demons. Knowledge exorcise demons.
1. Know that demons are imaginary creations of fears common to man's lower nature.
2. Understand that there are demons with the power to possess you.
3. In the case of mental illness, seek professional help.
4. In the case of addiction, seek professional help.
