Demonic Possession

Entry 4, March 08
Topic: Demonic Possession

Sad but true, demonic possession is true. It is not just religion based, religion does extend to make it biased but in the past there have been the one in a million; yet to be done-demonically possessed people. It is a terrifying phenomenon in our society as it is too serious to be true. Nevertheless, people that have been possessed start to act strange by being isolated, personality and appearance also goes in opposite directions, start having blackouts, perform humiliating acts such as urinating them selves without being able to control it and conflict violence. These would be the first stages, where a normal human wouldn’t be 100% of what the patient has. It gets worse though! You never know. They have someone else controlling them inside. This could even be fatal.

Woman levitated, spoke other languages, showed paranormal powers

"Mentally troubled individuals often 'dissociate,' but Julia's trances were accompanied by an unusual phenomenon: Out of her mouth would come various threats, taunts and scatological language, phrases like 'Leave her alone, you idiot,' 'She's ours,' 'Leave, you imbecile priest,' or just 'Leave.’’ In this case, this woman performed unusual character as well as spoke inappropriately, levitated and did abnormal things but never seemed to remember anything. Examined by doctors, psychiatrists, religious nuns, priests and people of a higher education her case was concluded to being demonic possession. The only way she could be cured was through a person who would bring the forces out of her- a priest. Through the process of ‘exorcism.’ When this was performed she gave away very hurtful and foul language to people she had never seen before, gained strength to manage to fight against 3 people that were holding her down, and the room became ‘unbearable from the heat’ from being normal.

Story of a demonic possessed and exorcism
Discovery Channel

Similar to article 1, but in a more biased way, as it is acted with audiovisual effect this documentary based on a true story gives us the life of a woman with one son who suddenly becomes demonically possessed and can not control herself. She starts acting very strangely and almost kills her son in the car by speeding. This is because her uncontrollable self or the spirit that haunts her takes action in her body. After time she has to have an exorcism because it all gets worse. As she goes to the church you can see the demonic reactions as the priest applies a holy cross on her forehead. The blasphemous words that come out of her during the exorcism, as well as the strange but powerful self that can take over three people holding her down is witness to be the ‘demon.’ By the end of the exorcism when she is ‘normal’ she sheds to tears because she is back to her self. She does not feel weak anymore or ‘controlled’ this shows how demonic possession can be severe and its rare but uncontrollable.

The Exorcism-based on a true story- documented exorcism in 1949
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=exorcist.htm

Based on a true story that happened to a young boy in 1949, now written as a novel and a movie. The terrifying life of a young girl begins at the age of 14 when she is demonically possessed and starts acting psychologically ill. Her parents can not explain the ‘unusual’ personality she has, and neither can the psychiatrists that confront her with various sicknesses which are proven to be false as they find out she is possessed. She goes through countless suffering moments but is exorcised at the end. She gives the well known ‘demonic’ reactions as she screams out insulting words and has unbelievable powers suddenly for a young girl. She shakes uncontrollably but gets over it after the exorcism.


Reflection/Analysis:
This is not well known to be a current world issue in our society. It does not have to do with people, economy, destruction, drug culture or anything like that. It is a very rare phenomenon that occurs to very few people. It came to my interest on a very high level as an ‘issue’ because the people that have to face this terrifying experience will be scarred of their lifetime. It might not be as serious as a country facing an earthquake or a hazard, but psychologically and emotionally it will ruin your personality, even if you survive the ‘demon.’ It is interesting how an every day person living his every day life can obtain possession even though he/she does not believe in religion. This is where religion comes to action as not being ‘biased’ and controlling people, taking their money, etc. personally I do not believe in a religion, as they are all forms of mind control which is also an issue. But when it comes to these mysterious cases, let there be a god! People do not deserve such experiences and this is what scares me that its out there! As people should be aware, not to use unknown objects in their culture such as an Ouiji board, black magic and spiritual aspects of life, if they are not trained to, because this might lead to a connection of an unpleasant spirit, etc, it might sound ironic but it has happened before. Live life casually and never do things out of curiosity! Enough issues take place on our planet; let this be the least of our concern.
