Ch 19.7 - Possession/Mental Illness
“It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.” - Philip K. Dick, VALIS
a. Mental Illness
-------------------------
"They called me mad, and I called them mad, and damn them, they outvoted me." - Nathaniel Lee (c. 1653 – May 6, 1692) after being incarcerated for 5 years in Bethlem Royal Hospital
“Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it's as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can't explain his to us, and we can't explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication ... and there is the real illness.” - Philip K. Dick
"Psychology never asks where do thoughts come from? Emmanuel Swedenborg answered. Wilson van Duessen. All behavior preceded by thought. Your body is the keyboard. Your brain is the cpu. Brain is like radio receiving thoughts not creating thoughts. They know our wetware like a programmer knows software." - Jerry Marzinski
”Even the most positive people have negative thoughts. The secret is not to feed them.” - Unknown
b. Possession
-------------------------
"If you aren’t authentic, then you aren’t yourself. You are outside yourself. And by natural law there are squatters rights. Anything can come and occupy that vessel." - Tom Barnett
"Demonic possession occurs in all cultures." - Unknown
"The person levitating in the air isn't a psychological problem." - Unknown
"Bodies are portals -> need us to interact w 5 dimensions that are 5 senses - sight, sound, smell, taste, touch.
It's a simulacrum... we're blinded and imprisoned by our senses, they keep us locked in. Remember, time is an illusion, and so is death.
Run patterns. Know what they are by what they do. Can’t see hear or touch them. But affect the physical universe. The footprint of the voices is negative and anti-religious.
"Demonic magic/gothic magic that kind of stuff... like that's not the end of the pool to go looking for your spiritual experience in." - Unknown
"Fools rush in to where angels fear to tread." - Unknown
"And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him." - Luke 8:30 KJV, test the spirits to see if they’re real..
"And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." Luke 4:1-4 KJV
Degrees of possession:
1) Extreme temptation - Individual becomes obsessed with occult and spiritual power
2) Obsession - Spririt makes first contact with the individual
3) Infestation - Spirit infests the life of the individual alongside ritual evocation
4) Possession - Spirit and individual battle over control of the body
5) Subjugation - Spirit permanently cohabitates the body while the individual merely observes
"They’re like sharks. They are attracted to negative emotions. Seek out trauma. Want to create negative emotional energy. Thoughts are energetic. They are energetic entities. Some are slick and some are dumb. Range in intelligence. They can pull up all the rotten things a person has done in their own mind and torture them with it. Then when they are cast out they come to people nearby to try and bring it out in them. Can feel energy leaving body (can’t make own energy) they have to take it from us. The last thing they want the victim to know is they’re in a battle. Want them to think they’re their thoughts. Tell you to go to a certain corner for drugs or alcohol or to loot. People think these demons are their friends until they start to read the Bible. Why would a hallucination do something like that?” - Jerry Marzinski, An Amazing Journey into the Psychotic Mind - Breaking the Spell of the Ivory Tower
“Weak voices and go to church -> voices shut up
Moderate voices -> voices mock preachers and distract them so they can’t think
Strong voices -> drive them and make them run from church" - Jerry Marzinski
"[The demons/voices] foster isolation and want attention. Then control and gaslight their victims. Have complete access to memory. Voices are liars and can’t be trusted to keep truth. Anything they say is likely to be a lie. Steer victim away from joy. Short circuit reason. Thrive in boredom. Use confusion to instill negative suggestions. Averse to positive or beautiful. Patterns. Ask schizophrenic what voices do to them. Interfere w patterns. Big ones are lies. Voices get pissed. Voice wanted to talk to him. You have no right to interfere with our way of life. Denial system collapses after that. Parasitic entities that drain energy. Blank stare. Demons told him to get shank but he couldn’t find one. You can get rid of them. Thoughts are energetic they play by a different set of rules. They want us to be avatars for these demons. Patterns that voices tell schizophrenics are identical to MSM. Foster negative emotion. Drain Victims. Stay away from family and friends. Isolate from friends and family. Epidemic of depression suicide and chronic fatigue on macroscopic scale. Take every thought captive. Suicide rate 3-5x for schizophrenics and psychiatrists." - Jerry Marzinski
"Voices grow louder after sunset and when you ignore them. Stung by the sting of rubber band. The devil hates Latin language / Latin mass / Latin exorcisms." - Jerry Marzinski
"Signs of possession:
1) facility in all languages
2) knowledge of secret things so like knowing your secret sin
3) detect the holy
4) supernatural strength beyond your condition in life and never get tired" - The Exorcism Files - True Stories of Demonic Possession By Adam Blai
"Demons can only look at what God does and do a perverted version of that. They're not creative creatures they don't make up new things." - Adam Blai
"The devil can't heal. He cannot heal because he cannot create. What he can do is either mask the pain or take away an injury or a malady that he is making in the person. So imagine somebody pinching your arm and then letting go and saying I healed you. See the difference? So God does heal but the devil does a mockery of healings so there is actually a one-to-one relationship between the antics of the demons and the miracles because they are fallen angels. They're Limited in what they can do and what they can think about and how creative they are so they just look at what God does and they try to make a perverted version of that." - Adam Blai
"You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe - and tremble.” - James 2:19
c. Exorcism
-------------------------
"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." - Matthew 17:21 KJV missing from many bibles, theory is that prayer and fasting is powerful enough to cast out demons.
"Hate psalm 23. It's like burning them with blow torch." - Jerry Marzinski
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever." - Psalm 23 KJV
"As a child I lived in a world of terror... mother was a classic codependent drunk... father was a psychopath who let me know... when I was age six... that if I told anyone about the beatings I was getting several times a week he would take me out in the woods and kill me... he could get away with it he assured me... I used to pray the 23 Psalm at night just so I could calm down long enough to fall asleep... Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death'... I lived in that valley... As a young adult I taught myself to ignore fear... sure I had the feelings... but I used reason to determine if the feelings had a legitimate origin... if they did not I dismissed them... took years but eventually I overcame my fear... and by the time I was in my early twenties I was able to take a job as a bouncer in a cowboy nightclub... was good at my job too... But the other side of that coin is I never let that fear turn me mean... I got to the root of it... came to understand... and mastered it... Now I live without fear..." - Unknown
Instead of letting the demons in, we need to let the Holy Spirit out. Demons inhabit the universe outside our bodies. The Holy Spirit inhabits the temple inside our bodies.
"Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." - 1 John 4:4 KJV
"Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple." - 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 KJV
