POLTERGEISTS
Items fly about the room, doors open and shut etc., this is a poltergeist. None of these activities occur by themselves since all of the moving items are inanimate objects and have no power of their own. If that were so, then why do we not have poltergeists in more locations?
If it takes power to move objects, then where does the power come from? The power itself comes from a person who is very mediumistic and is capable or releasing his or her od or energy. But the od or energy alone cannot move objects. The od is used by discarnate spirits who use it to materialize to such a degree that they can move the objects, but not enough that we can see them. The spirits cannot interact with the material world unless it is at least partly materialized. The law of gravity that is relative to the material world cannot be abrogated by any spirit high or low.
The spirits who cause this mischief are not the spirits of God, why would they waste their time with such nonsense, what would they accomplish by this feat. Do poltergeists bring people to God, likely not, but low spirits who have nothing better to do than to try and attract attention are the perpetrators of poltergeists, using a willing medium who lends them their energy or od. Once unleashed, these spirits are not interested in obeying the medium’s will but act with their own desires in mind, and so are difficult to banish. Mediums who find themselves in this position have experimented with methods of communicating with discarnate spirits without using high intentions. The medium could use the same power to communicate with the high spirits if they so wished.
HELL
We know that there is no everlasting hell; God gives everyone a chance to return to heaven. We also know that hell is not a fiery inferno that is an analogy. But just because hell is not everlasting does not mean it does not exist.
Hell is described as the outer darkness which means that the further away we are from God while in the spirit world, the darker it is. On the opposite side, the nearer we find ourselves to God, the brighter it is, so that the realm that God occupies is the brightest of all.
People who commit murder for example will find themselves, after death, to be in the same emotional condition as they were at the time they committed the murder with the added discomfort of facing the people they have murdered. Suicides face a similar fate, reliving the anguish that drove them to commit suicide in the first place.
Whatever type of life we live on earth, we will after death suffer the consequences. After physical death, many spirits who have never known God while on earth will find themselves totally lost, not knowing where they are, not knowing why they are uncomfortable and often not knowing their own names. Many others do not even know they are dead, and continue to go through the very same routine in the spirit world as they were doing while on earth, thinking they are working at their jobs etc.
Some of these spirits are attracted to light which unfortunately is shining through all earthly creatures and they enter their aura and obsess them. The people who are so obsessed are mediumistic and can allow the spirits in but are not capable of ridding themselves of them. Most of them do not understand the physics of this phenomemon and the spirits make them act demented and they are placed in assylums.
Since most psychiatric doctors do not understand the laws of spirit communication they are of no help.
And how do we know all this? Because countless spirits have appeared to humans and told their story and many more have been allowed to enter the body of a medium in séances to expound on life in the spirit world as they are experiencing it.
POMP AND CEREMONY
When Jesus was on earth, he never asked anyone to build him a cathedral, although, if there ever was anyone who deserved one, He of all people would have been the one. No, Jesus didn’t even go into a building to pray, he went off by himself to a quiet place in nature like the Mount of Olives.
Man, being vain, has been erecting temples, churches, synagogues etc. to use as places of worship. So fine, it makes some sense to have a building to house many people at one time, particularly in inclement weather, but why all the elaborate buildings with the expensive furnishings? Couldn’t our money be spent more wisely ? There is no shortage of charitable causes all clamoring for assistance. Praying while sitting under a tree would be more peaceful.
And have you ever wondered at the wearing of fancy robes in order to preach? Are they attempting to copy Jesus and his apostles? The robes do not make them more holy for no one is holy but God; most of these men are mere men like us. Jesus and his disciples wore robes because it was the dress of the day; what if the dress of the day had been a short skirt as the Roman soldiers are depicted in the movies, and would they copy that? Any other man wearing robes in this country, we think foolish.
The church ceremonies are also a wonderment. Does God care whether we sit, stand or kneel? Does the service gain any spirituality by the use of all the accoutrements, chalices, incense, altars, statues, linens, candles etc? All of these things are likely to be more of a distraction than an asset to prayer and meditation. Remember the song “The Little Brown Church in the Vale”, there probably was more praying done in such a place than in our ostentatious buildings.
FANATICISM
Whatever church we belong to, whatever beliefs we have, we need to make sure that we are sincere. We must question everything that we are taught by the churches. Just following the leader with no true conviction is disastrous to our salvation.
We are told, “Believe in Christ and you will be saved”, not so, we must also live for Christ and earn our salvation day by day in all that we do, say and think. The belief that Christ died for us and we all are thereby saved with no effort on our part is false. True, Christ did die for us to open the gates of heaven by harnessing Lucifer so that we may escape, but we must still take advantage of those open gates and earn our way through them.
No leader of any church needs be obeyed blindly, they are not God, they are not Christ, they are not in contact with God’s spirits as the apostles were, they are mere men and women who studied under a teacher who also was not God or Christ and who also was not in touch with God’s spirit world. Not to say that all church leaders are bad, there are many good ones, but none are perfect and none know everything.
Religious fanatics who go through the motions of praying, singing and sacrificing with no conviction of why they are doing this except that they were told to by their ministers or priests, have the most difficult time finding their way after leaving this earth. Their spirit is not open to understanding the workings of the spirit world and they continue after death in their fanaticism, and no heavenly spirit can make them understand that things have changed. They do not understand that things they so valued on earth are of no consequence in the world of spirit. It is very important to learn everything we can regarding the operation of the spirit world of God, or we could be wandering in the dark for ages. Love and selflessness are the best insurance for the rewards after death.
POSSESSING AND OBSESSING SPIRITS
In the days when Jesus was on earth, many possessed and obsessed people were brought to him to have these spirits cast out of them. Now, we think that since there is no one to cast out the evil or low spirits, that no one is ever possessed or obsessed any longer. Many try to explain this by saying that we have progressed so much that we are free of this phenomenon or that what was called possessed in those times were really only mental health problems that were yet unnamed . Well, we have now invented names, but could the cause still be the same?
When someone has had so much liquor that they lose consciousness and remember nothing, but is later told of their behavior while unconscious, which was not typical of their normal behavior, then what occurred? What happened was that the liquor expelled the spirit of the person and another spirit took its place temporarily, this is the reason that the behavior was somewhat different. This is spirit possession.
More common than spirit possession, is spirit obsession. This is where the spirit does not totally invade the body but becomes trapped in a person’s aura and is unable or unwilling to leave. Depending on the type of spirit it is, it causes the obsessed person to act unlike them at times or causes them to have cravings that they cannot seem to control. These people are extra sensitive and are mediumistic or psychic.
Having lost the ability to cast out spirits, we place these people in asylums. Drugs are used to keep the spirits at bay and sometimes electric shock is used to expel them. Until we recognize that life has not changed much from the time of Jesus, we will continue to misunderstand spirit obsession and continue to place mediumistic people in asylums.
Many who commit suicide or murder are also obsessed and are not themselves when they commit these crimes, so we often wonder when a so called normal person is dead by suicide, and we place all murderers in prisons, again without differentiating between true murderers and obsessed people.
In all cases, a discarnate spirit who has lost its way and remains on the earth plane is the spirit who obsesses or possesses these people. Many of these spirits are at such a low level that they do not look like people at all. All of us have spirits of this type who accompany us at all times. It is very rare that anyone reaches the stage in physical life when they have banished all spirits in their company.
