Following from my post on the Ouija, I’d like to continue the theme and talk, today,about Spiritual possession. To begin, you need to understand what the term means.
Possession means another consciousness cohabits your own space. Sometimes this is done purposely by a mystic, or a spiritualist. but when possession is typically spoken about it refers to those times when a parasitic entity latches on and feeds from a person’s energies. This can happen in a variety of ways, one being use of the Ouija without taking proper precautions. Another type of possession can be caused from an unhealthy thought habit, which causes thought forms which evolve with a voracious appetite to feed on the negative energies around them.
Possession usually occurs when a person is unbalanced or hasn’t properly prepared for using spiritual devices – like the ouija, tarot, etc. By properly prepared, I refer to grounding yourself, your energies, ensuring that you have proper protection in place and that you are in a calm mental state. It is important to understand that being in this state of mind goes a long way to avoiding possession in the first place.
Below I have compiled a list of symptoms that may suggest possession by an entity – of any type I have described. Please understand that this list is not solely restricted to possession but can also be indicitave of serious mental conditions or extreme character flaws. Do not assume that because someone has a spiritual condition and not a mental condition simply because they relate to the list. Examine ALL possibilities with an open mind and always seek out professional medical advice if you are suffering from any of these symptoms to see if the condition is alleviated before looking for other methods of help.
- Feeling “beside yourself” or “above yourself”.
- Feeling chronically ungrounded.
- Out of character selfishness, hatefulness, greed, jealousy.
- Feeling carried away by something avaricious during trace or dreaming.
- Experiencing the feeling that something is just beside or behind you, followed by a stabbing sensation or pressure.
- Experiencing chronic distraction whenever you try to get centred or do something good for yourself. Also experiencing unusually and remarkable hurdles to this.
- Compulsive behaviour that is out character.
- Loss of good judgement.
- Restlessness, forgetfulness, general lack of mental focus, chronic boredom, and depression.
- Suicidal thoughts and behaviour.
- Obsessive thinking and behavior.
- Self abusive behavior and/or body neglect.
- Feeling lost or betrayed for no specific reason.
- Feeling “driven” or “captive” emotionally or mentally by a cycle of anger, fear, resentment, or sadness. This also applies when it pertains to feeling held hostage by a person or idea.
- Nightmares which recur; especially those which consume or color your thoughtsmost or all of the day following the dreaming.
- Waking feeling suffocated or feeling that the darkness is smothering or very scary.
- Unreasoned fear.
- Pain, pressure, paralysis or muscle spasms which have no medical explanation.
- Cycles of events which amount to ongoing crisis, tragedy or stress.
- Sleeping plenty, but awaking completely drained.
- Saying, thinking or doing things which are usually associated with another person you live with or associate with the environment you are currently in.
- Cycles of interactions with others which recur and cause pain, i.e.; repeatedly choosing lovers who are abusive or abandoning. This can be more subtle too, such as choosing friends who refuse, avoid or are unable to resolve conflicts and which always or nearly always result in eventual loss of or disconnection with the each friend made.
- Illness or recurrent and chronic illness.
- Impending sense of doom.
- All or several signs combined which cycle over and over despite best efforts to resolve in usually effective ways. Each cycle ends in feeling drained and “mortally tired”, even feeling abused.
