I don't think catholic church (or any church) knows anything about excorcism. I mean, WORKING excorcism, beyond what common sense would make people
think it could be.
They are not enlightened masters of energy, they are not shamans who can travel freely in the astral world, they are not even initiated properly (or
in any real way).
How could just some 'dudes' with some old, mostly fictional book, have any power over demons or spirits that have possessed someone? All they can
really do is ask for help. That's all. They can ask and pray but that's all they can do. They can perform some ridiculous 'ceremonies', but that won't
help.
Think about the ancient Egypt, the golden era, when people were still initiated a lot (the pyramids were built for this purpose, after all), and when
they could control energy in ways we can't even imagine anymore. They could 'purify' someone who had a half-animal body to become a fully human in the
physical and other levels as well (we have all seen the hieroglyphs with the half-animal bodies, but like morons, we think it's just "symbolism")
They were initiated masters of their own emotions, as well as chakra systems - they could balance their energies perfectly and control them without
hesitation.
Compare this with some sexually frustrated, fancily dressed dudes, who can't even control their own emotions, who try to recite some old mantra from a
mostly fictional book.. like the demons are going to care!
Sheesh.
Someone said that possession is just 'disorder'. But why can't it be the other way around? I mean, what CAUSES a disorder? Why do some people get
'disorders' and why others don't? (Though if you trust psychiatry, anyone and everyone can be classified as mentally ill by just using the DSM-IV)
What if 'mental disorders' are a form of possession or harassment from the other side? There are a lot of evil people in the astral realm just as well
as there are lots of them in the physical realm. They like to find weak people to toy around with - how could it be otherwise? Just like some idiots
on this side like to 'summon' the evil people (and other beings) on the other planes. Though it's hard for me to even imagine a plane that is lower
than the physical..
Think about all the bullies of the world - when they die, do you think they want to stop bullying all of the sudden? No. They are not going to change.
They are going to want to continue bullying. But it's harder to bully people in the astral world, because you can't very well punch such loose matter,
and they can protect themselves against your other type of attacks easily. But weak people who are still in their physical bodies, are obviously the
ideal target for these bully types. It's not really that hard to figure it out.
So what if 'voices' are caused by this kind of spirits, and 'hallucinations' are actually simply temporarily opening up your latent ability to see the
other realms? It's not that far fetched, really. But to trust psychiatry, you will have to have a completely materialistic and nihilistic worldview.
And even so there is a lot that they can't explain. In fact, they don't know anything about the human mind, they only know how to misdiagnose,
classify, drug and control people. They don't know how to cure anyone.
Psychiatry is not a science. It has no cures, only 'treatment'. And it will never, ever grant someone papers that prove they are 'sane', if they have
previously 'diagnosed' that individual to be 'insane'.
Psychology and neuroscience are very necessary and useful tools that can help humanity, if used properly. But psychiatry is a completely unnecessary
quackery that never helps anyone, except the huge pharmaceutical corporations with their neurotoxins and other dangerous synthetic chemicals they call
'medication'. It's far from medication..
In any case, this world knows so little about the very basics of humanity - birth, death, astral plane, etheric plane, initation, spirituality,
excorcism, etc. that it is no wonder that excorcism is laughable and the knowledge about 'possession' is either completely false or fully denied.
A sad, mad world it is indeed. If these are not the 'ending times', I can't imagine what they would be. Nothing is 'normal' anymore, and what is
considered 'normal', is completely sick and insane. A sane individual would be diagnosed with multiple 'disorders' in this kind of a world, and
forever labeled "insane".
