Quote:many thanks for your comments brother being ,
I have observed your past admissions of interaction with these entities ..
any more gifts of knowledge you could share would be most welcomed
and well received
as I might have said before, I held a dim view at one point about the jewish cleansing ritual for women who'd recently given birth
at the time, I regarded it as ignorance and misogyny
Now, I am reaching understanding of that cleansing ritual from the perspective of demonic possession
lots of factors involved, many of which would have been unknown by those insistent upon those ancient rituals
broken down into everyday terms, the woman, while pregnant, might harbour within her body and that of her unborn child demonic entities choosing to inhabit that foetus. Some might choose to occupy the woman, seeing the opportunity might present itself
hence cleansing ritual to 'clear' the woman if possible. And rituals involving the newborn in an attempt to clear it. Obviously no rituals are foolproof
Yes, in childhood I witnessed a possessing entity as it emerged or shrouded its victim. My mind closed down due to shock or threat and I didn't recall it until over a decade later. By chance it was confirmed years later by someone else who'd experienced the same thing involving the same individual. Most will scoff and I don't blame them. It's an experience I could have happily done without
Apparently, people exist who're able to see demonic entities in the same way the rest of us see each other. It's said that in order to become possessed, the victim must be psychic. And it's said also that psychic ability is required of those who see possessing entities. So that automatically rules out approx. 2/3 of the population, apparently
I've read that animals are also able to be possessed
It's not a topic that most people are comfortable with and I don't blame them for that
there's really not much to say about it. If one of the oldest religions in the world, forever on the move, goes to the trouble to cut ritual baths out of solid rock in order to conduct ritual cleansing of new mothers, the phenomenon of demonic possession could be said to have long history and recognition in some circles at least
not that it requires for a new mother or newborn. People can become possessed while drunk, while under the influence of drugs, while under assault physical, mental and emotional, during coma, whilst anaesthetised, etc., apparently. Any time we're 'out of our mind' renders us vulnerable. And it's the belief of certain clergy that some victims are simply 'chosen' for possession through no fault or desire of their own
some of us are blessed with divine protection and I consider myself to be so and am constantly grateful and express that gratitude regularly. Others, for reasons we cannot explain, do not enjoy such protection, unfortunately
Not all religions and teaching systems are equally knowledgeable or motivated to encourage their followers to seek above all things, divine protection, although I suspect protection is both withheld or bestowed regardless of the recipient's beliefs or even efforts
for example, the Bible mentions the sins of the fathers being the burden of his descendants 'unto the fourth generation'. Which seemed unjust to me when I first heard it. But, if we take into account genetics and what are believed in some circles to be generational-curses, those Biblical claims become more understandable
but of course, burdensome legacies don't simply stop after four generations, because the son of the father generates legacies which will be conferred upon
his descendants. And so on. We're victims of our genes as are all living things
What is demonic possession, what are demonic entities? As a rule, few even think about or believe in such entities. And maybe that's a good thing, for as they say, where attention goes, energy flows. Too much or even a little absorption into such matter may in fact attract
The big, noisy religious affairs with their emphasis on mass exorcisms might be thrilling to some, but what motivates these performances (because that's what they are) and how effective and even harmful might they actually be? The pastors are flying around in jets and living in mansions, so those performances are certainly lucrative
At bottom, we're incredibly ignorant of so much, to the point it seems we were deliberately designed that way. Maybe our ignorance, in large part, is our protection, as most of us manage our way through without too many troubling incidents
I would not advise anyone to delve into demonism in any form any more than I'd advise people who're sight-impaired to go wandering around the Blue Mountains on a moonless night
