Subject: Is this demonic possession?
psycokatkrissy    8/10/2005 10:07:30 PM
Ok, im wondering if this is demonic depression or if this person is just insane. Ok, this person has more than one demon and they each have different personalities. Wen he changes he has no idea wat he is doin, i mean after he does what he does you have to tell him wat he did because he has no idea wat happened, once he was "possessed for 2 weeks and people had to fill him in on wat had been happening. His voice changes in one way or another, such as his voice gets deeper or higher or raspier. Wen fully possessed he is willing to hurt others if he doesnt get what he wants (usually it is to be alone), or other things. These "demons" or "ghost" usually take over wen he is very emotional, they take advantage of him at his time of need. The voices talk to him all the time. I was wondering if this could be like an issue from the movie "Chldplay" he has had this problem since he was young and could the "demons" could hav taken advantage of his age n gone into his body, one by one him getting weaker one after another. I mean each "demon" has a personality trait that couldve sent him to "hell". The perverted one couldve been sent for rape, the evil one murder, and so on. So Can Anybody please help me, this is getting very confusing.

Multiple personality disorder with a religion-based type overlay. This form of MPI was fairly common in Europe in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and in the U.S. until the World War Two period. It is often mistaken for demonic possession due to the overlay. Generally, in "true" possession cases as defined by the Catholic Church, only one "entity" can invade the victim's psyche at a time. While this entity may >claim< to be more than one individual, the behavior pattern is consistent regardless of claimed identity. The indicated procedure for this individual, based on reported symptomatology, is psychiatric. They should be seen by a >qualified psychiatrist<, not a psychologist, immediately.

If you are a girl and the person of whom you speak is male, this is classic way that women are worried and think of things such as "demonic possesion" Personally i dont think demonic possesion is possible really, If it were more creatures than humans who become "possesed". Anyway that aside i would like to say that, the mind of men is one of urbulance and lots of different feelings and thinkings puling it around at times. Mental illness in alot of men is a way of life. Ofcourse there is a natural level of natural and normal behaviour. In most cases this level is "normal". Multiple personallities can be brought on by stress, feeling inadequote, have to act, or people just not letting them get on with thier life thier way, if weak enough thier minds become somewhat unstable or inconsistant as u described. They basically need to chill ooout, let thier mind (and body relax) chil out and regain self realisations and control levels. A good rest and people off thier back for a while( like a month) is the best advice no stress. Or thier condition maybe self inflicted, Living in an mentally unworkable state, unstable and inconsistant. Something culd have happened to them in thier life that has disturbed or interrupted them, damaging thier developement can harm achild if u dont let it do what it wants and needs to do(in reasonable bounds). This state may have been introduced and inflicted. But the victim could also be hanging on to this new formed mentality(retaining it self-infliction), or it could be a place they retreat to, in this case they are actually mentally healthy enough to recover if they want. They just have to have incentive to , regain sanity and drop the ignorant and dysfunctional mindset. Basically they need telling to drop the bull and sort themselves out. If this is true. Firstly just give them room to sort their lives out themselves, they may just need thier own space and time , time to heal, and be and feel themselves again . As naturally humans return to these normal levels after recovering/time after disruption. But if u give them ther time(about a month) and they have had chances and opputrunities to get things right, but still regress into a psychotic state, it maybe self inflicted, or genuine mental wounds that are needeing real healing time, Then a psychiatrist is the best option. And this will not only make them aware of what they need to do for themselves but start to open it up, make them think themselves about how they are thinking/feeling. If they need it more time to get on this path. But not drugs, not yet. Drugs do not cure mental problems they only sedate and cover up the problems. They actually doo harm if they dope people up so they can never think straight atall, to begin to recover. People have to recover properly from mental illness by thier own devices and thinking. Dont let doctors jump straight at prescribing , if the patient is not really violent there is not need. Also psychiatrists can onkly really go on what they syccessfully extract from patients as genuine emotional material. They are not mind readers and can not really understand what people are actually thinking most times.

I have known people who have periods of blackouts, where they typically become "out of character" then have no memory of having been in this period. Whether it is MPD, or Disassocitive Identity Disorder, or demonic, is a moot point, as I have had dealings with both, and they really do have sutle and not so sutle differences. One of the major ones for demonic is that it can jump individuals when the oportunity arises. MPD is supposedly a result of childhood trauma that the child cannot handle, they go into a trance like state from the fear and the mind compartmentilises to create a subconcious personality to handle the problem. Think of one of the stage hypnotic shows where someone performs some outrafeous stunts, then later has no memory of the event, or someone sleepwalking. Having come across a lot of sleepwalkers over the years, the subconcious personality can be totally at odds with the wakened concious personality. Talking to some of the personalities from a young guy I once knew, they entered him at the age of 4 when an uncle put a spider down his underpants and put him in a closet, his terrior created the opening for his 6 demonic intities to enter, both sexes, all ages portrayed, some serious, some totally evil. We had some interesting conversations about Genesis, and the great war in the heavons, particulary as the boy was only 17 at the time, and whose school work was at a childs level at times (matching one of his personalities) An interesting area of research. See The Exorcism of Emily Rose, based on true events apparently.

Demonic possession, last time I heard, don't blank out and in. A demon well not let go control unless it is forced out. that means that He will never be in control tell the demon is out. They like playing mind tricks with people and they have very sick sense of humor that's not even funny. They may shout your faults or sins at you if you try to due an exorcism, or anything like it. I believe that thier goal is to have you resort to paganistic rituals. That said, I highly doubt that this has to due with anything biblical.

Give up on the fantasy of possession. What you have described is a person in need of serious medical help. Seek out serious medical help for this unfortunate person.

Yes, I would go for medical treatment in the first instance, rule out the probable before heading into the realm of the spooky. If conventional treament doesn't work, you can then think of altermatives.

IIRC: According to the catholic Church there is no such thing as demonic possesion, there is only - the Devil - that may assume characteristics which suits him. To be a possesion there are stringent characteristics, that must all be met: 1. Levitation: The subject is to float in thin air and have no support. 2. Unusual strength. 3. Clairvoyance: Possesion of information than they cannot possibly have. 4. The ability to speak fluently a language they cannot have any knowledge of: Say a six-year old from rural Kentucky speaking arameaic. There is one further than I cannot recall. If they are not all there the church dismisses it out of hand and point to the proper health care. Wether You believe it or not: It is not something to be played with, as great damage can be caused by dappling with the mind in that way. If there is a case of possesion the church will appoint an exorcist, as far as I know a specially trained priest.
