Re: Do you believe in exorcism or possessed?
I also believe that such spiritual entities are not inherently "good" or "evil." Rather, I would characterize them as "opportunistic" in looking for a vulnerable person through which to operate and influence events on this physical plane to which they would not otherwise have access. It is our responsibility to be in touch with our own spirit and therefore not to be open to their endeavors.

I too have felt spirits in various places-often at historical sites such as Williamsburgkandscreeley wrote:Spirit Wandering- Now that you bring it up, I have walked into certain places and felt some type of "spirit" or "energy." I don't think I've ever seen anyone that has actually been possessed, but I have felt evil spirits.

Definition of "possession" is interesting-thanksAldonsa wrote:Demons live inside of any men (except enlightened people). Each person has own demons. Can it be named “possession”? I think it depends on personal character and self responsibility. The word “possession” means shedding all responsibility.

Yeah, a worrisome idea.Chitopogi wrote:I believe in evil spirits and possession. In a lot of cases prayers and exorcism can work. And this is done in the spirit plane. But the problem with exorcism is that the spirit leaves its host but transfers to the next available host nearby. And this makes exorcism more terrifying.

I also would never want to meet someone who has an evil entity in them. I don't think it would be a good experience.Miche Sora wrote:Yes, I believe in possession and exorcisms. Do I think possession involves beings from another dimension? I don't know. That's probably only one option. My teacher once told me that she met people considered insane, only to be able to detect another entity inside them. I can neither confirm or deny, as I've never had such an experience. I hope I never do.
