Demonic Possession or Mental Illness: How Can You Tell?
In this article, I use the word ‘demon’ to mean an evil, malevolent, oppressing spiritual entity, which torments, scares, induces negative activities from or burdens an individual. I do not believe ALL disembodied energies and spirits should automatically be considered evil.
Modern Exorcism is More Scientific Than You May Think.
When The Exorcist came out the day after Christmas in 1973, it was a first introduction to Catholic exorcism for many, as well as a first look into manifestations of demonic display. People were afraid of the dark after watching that movie and rushed to churches to devote their full attention to Christ for divine protection. Now society finds itself in a mental health crisis as Chiron traverses through Aries (representing the head with all of its components) and many are asking, “should we call a priest or a psychiatrist?”
Even in the 70s, all requests for exorcism had to be investigated, and if you did not have time for that, you could find a southern COGIC church on Sunday afternoon around 2:30 pm est and they’d take care of it. In fact I have heard stories, from the horses mouth, tell how a good healer could sober up alcoholics and cure drug addiction. However there is no timeframe recorded for how long the process took so nobody knows whether or not the church service was so long that the person actually had time to sober up. The fact that they never again picked up a bottle or pack of cigarettes does give credence to their claim of a miraculous deliverance, even with the issue being listed scientifically as a mental health problem, which usually requires rehab.
In modern times, medical doctors are surely called upon by priests so that physical and mental evaluations can be done prior to and during any rites being performed. This is to ensure that no physical malady is overlooked, which could end in death and lawsuits as in the case of the infamous exorcism of Anneliese Michelle who inspired the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
In the old days, the local villager who exhibited signs of mental illness could easily be named the Shaman within the community — such is not the case in modern times within urban communities. We also know that Christian pastors have battled addictions, depression, suicidal ideations and the like so Christianity is not a guarantee of immunity from mental health issues.
In this brief article, researched processes determining demonic possession vs mental health crisis will be evaluated and presented for your reflection and comments.

What is Multi-Dimensional Existentialism?
More than Three Dimensions in Any System Can Be Confusing.
I have to admit, when people start to talk about 4th, 5th+ dimensions, I haven’t heard a definition that is easy to understand, even though a thorough understanding of #sacred geometry would probably answer the question. When we discuss past, present and future as all existing right now, that is difficult to grasp when I know my grandmother passed away a certain number of years ago, which would mean it happened today, however if our past affects our now and our future, it may as well have happened today, but that would also mean, I am already everything that happens in my future. Perhaps my right now is what recalibrates both my past and my future.
Which is More Powerful, the Past, the Present or the Future?
Your reading of the title of this section happened in the past. That’s just how fleeting the present is.
What is the Difference in How We View Vampires and Werewolves?
In 2012 I had one of my many strange dreams, and Nicolas Cage was chasing me around a church; he was a werewolf, who was in love with me and trying to possess me as his own (my hands clasped, staring upward). The police detectives were outside trying to get into the church to save me, but Nicolas had me trapped inside this beautiful cathedral. What the???
My typical view of Mr. Cage is easy going, light-hearted and non-assuming, however he did buy one of the most haunted houses in New Orleans years ago and then sold it. Perhaps he has a more macabre side.
Why do Werewolves lose to Vampires?
In my opinion #werewolves are highly underrated by #Hollywood. These beastly creatures have been featured in numerous films to include Twilight (ad) and Underworld, however the beautifully, fearsome beings (with the potential to be very sexy) are always the easiest to kill and enslave, while #vampires continue to reign as royalty in the world of unearthly creatures.
I think this speaks to our desire for romance and love as opposed to animal rage and uncontrolled passion. It would be great if just for once someone would do a movie where werewolves reign supreme and are in control.

Retrograde Planetary Motion in Astrology – What Does it Really Mean?
Retrograde Planetary Motion Has Gotten a Bad Rap Due to the Public Opinion of What it Means When Planets Appear to Move Backwards.
Don’t sign contracts! Don’t travel! Refrain from having any difficult conversations with loved ones! Prepare to have problems with electrical and mechanical items. These are the things you hear about Mercury retrograde, which causes you to liken retrograde planets to negativity and things gone wrong.
Fortunately, many Astrologers understand that retrograde motions mean so much more than computers that go awry. The purpose of this post is to bring some of those meanings into focus from a standpoint of planets like Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
