What I'm asking is when infected does one know that it has happened, or would it just feel like an illness? And is there any signs before hand that could allow you to avoid it?
I think you'll know if your infected buy the way you think. Or act. Depending on what spirit you have, you'll act accordingly. It could cause you to suddenly hate the people you once loved, beyond normal measure, and usually for no reason at all, if not a petty one. It could cause you to be violent, and you could be coherent when you do it,..or not. Just watch what you do. If you don't like anything you do, look up a few spells to purge what it is in you. But the spells you use have to be made specificly for what spirit you have, or else..you have another gateway for another spirit to enter, or the one you have could get worse.
And I thought that displayed by people were from the years of drug abuse. ~shrugs~
Oh well.
Come on people are there still such superstitions that people just have to promote? Hasn't mankind gotten over such petty beliefs?
Actually as a rational human being I would have to say that I am in no way afraid of, or concerned with such petty superstitions. As in there is no such thing as evil spirits. I will go so far to say that those who believe such things are delusional, and seriously have other issues that are far more concerning then any "evil spirits".
"Are some cases genuine?"
Once again, are people still this stupid-stisious?
"Evil spirits" are nothing but a fabrication of religion, and it is promoted by the followers of religion as a simple, yet consistent excuse for impulsive disruptive behavior. It is the same as claiming "The Devil made me do it." It dismisses people from acting antisocial.
yeah but im not talking demons in genral just a melovolent force of some kind
Same concept, only homogenized. People used to actually think that it was evil spirits that caused disease.. guess what.. eventually it was discovered that germs cause illness... now is it your intent to have people still consider that there are "evil spirits" that "effect" people? Do you see how that makes you irrational, and illogical, and superstitious. Would you rather simply chant, or do rituals over a sick or unstable child.. or would you take them for professional evaluation? Just think how many people line up for faith healers because they are told that they need the"Holy Spirit" to drive out "Evil Spirits". Aside from the ones with hypochondria none are Ever healed. So anyone who tells you that you have "evil spirits" has an agenda, usually involving a method (that they can provide you) to "cure/relieve" you of your "Evil spirit".
So what if the best way to "cure" yourself was to not believe in such shite in the first place? What if the fix was preemptive?
i understand thta, i know that alot of illnesses and diseases cause alot of hangings and exorsisms, im just saying thinking out of the box what would be the closest symptoms if this was all real
Thats just it, you're blurring the lines of reality for the sake of what-if. When the evidence is clearly not-so.
The problem is that when someone phishes for symptoms related to X people are free to substituite A-Y and it varies by culture to.. some just call such "illness" as nothing more than misguided "chi ". Some even go so far as to believe in family curses, or Heirlom curses, a popular one being the alleged curse on the Kennedys. It takes away from the real core issues. the human element.
I would say that it is in rare circumstances that this could happen. Either you successfully "summoned" something not of this world, or you did something to "offend" the said spirit. Energy rules this world. Some have more energy than others. If you're always feeling lethargic, lazy or just slothful, then most likely something is feeding off of your energy. Or you're just a unmotivated lazy bum expecting to be spoonfed. By infected, I don't suppose you mean "possessed". There are levels of possessions and by infected I infer there be slight disturbances to your life. Sometimes my luck can be so low that I can't help but feel that I am 'infected" by some spirit. Perhaps that could be a sign. Just stay positive, do some prayers if you're the spiritual kind; meditation, self-help books are a good place to keep a healthy mind and spirit.
Also, if you're susceptible to negative energy, do stay away from it. Too many people trying to play around with these things. Better safe than sorry, they say.
I believe that anything at all is possible. It would be hard if it was a spirit evil or not or an illness of some kind. Also a spirit can be with you but not within you.
What creates any power is belief in the first place..every one can make their own symptoms..yet they always seem to have the riggt ritual
Caliban, I sincerely invite you to wiki the following as extracurricular material. Argument from ignorance
Dabbler, My Partner Luke and I often have experiences where we feel that we have an evil spirit within us and we are PAGAN and we get drained of our energy. I am also a sanguine vampire and have been since I was young.
You are full of shit and you need to look at this thread carefully and think about what you say BEFORE you say it.
Actually to be Full of shit one must be retentive. I am not retentive, it is you that hold the belief, not me. If you are so deluded into thinking/believing that you are "infected" then fine go right ahead.. but you will have to realize that I am not impressed, or intimidated by your belief, or any other superstition.
As far as your experiences go it could well be an example of reoccurring hypochondria, which you then relieve with the placebo that is what you imagine to be "drawing out the evil spirit", or "feeding".
Might I ask why you felt compelled to include (as if by after thought) the idea that you identify yourself as a vampire?
dabbler,
when I am infected with an evil spirit I wear a plaster (band aid) and I put some disinfectant cream on it. Works everytime for me... lol
The most evil spirit I have ever encountered (and been effected by) had to be Old Crow Whiskey.
Mine was blue lable Vodka, hit the spot. I was infected for a few days after, lucky for me it soon went away.
Infected...I like the use of that word, it reminds me of Zombies : )
If you listen to anything involving Scott Stapp, Buck Cherry, Nickleback, Cavo, or Gospel/Country, chances are, you're infected with a demonic presence. The only way to cure yourself of these demons is to make a $1000 vow of faith to the Robert Tilton Ministry. And remember, when you make that thousand dollar vow of faith, you're saying, "God, I don't have $1000, but you do!"
A loaded question there....
Throughout time, societies have proposed several explanations of abnormal behavior within human beings. Some are just mental disorders, others may not be....
check out this site that briefly gives some descriptions of disorders from the DSM and also definitions of evil...
http://saferelationshipsmagazine.com/soul-slayer-psychological-evil-spiritual-evil-or-both
Back in the old days most believed that people demonstrating abnormal behavior are possessed by malevolent spirits, or if they were born with deformities they were a demon child.
I personally think that some cases it is a combination of mental illness and possession...sometimes one leads to the other...but for the majority of cases I think it could be a mental illness misunderstood by the surrounding culture. and perceived as a possession.
There are some things in this world that cannot be explained, ever since humanity had started to grow and evolve. People have forgotten about these type of things, but just because you do not see it.. Or feel it..? Does not mean activities or forces do not exist..
I agree with that Dark Genesis 100%, so so so many nay sayers can't believe what they cant see, hear, or feel.. however. not everyone is sensitive enough to experience it..
The thread is NOT if you believe in demons or not so please keep it on topic and away from insults. Personal 'facts' and/or reality are not always correct or the same for other people.
Evil spirit..Ok!!! From the evolution of man, evil has been around and the infiltration into the though, has been there. If what we are assuming is true, then, those pesky people who are committing a crime, as we speak, has been taken by those cool demons. Those people who are in jail, because their actions got then there, are posses by evil spirit. Now, if we can take away the evil spirit away from those humans, are they Normal? or are we insane by thinking about this. Excellent thread.
all i know is i dont mess with them but they Seem to follow me, if you ignore them they go away
There are many warning signs but all are not effected by all that posses you depends on who or what it is. Can't stand Godly Idols, change in voices, moods, and sometimes your eyes change color. It's hard to determine if your possessed. Most people think your crazy or diagnose you with Bi polar or schizophrenia.
Well I'll start by saying that a lot of folks in this thread have been down right abussive in their responses and for no other reason than there own attempt to invalidate the question that the poster asked without adding to the debate or affectivly answering the question.
"Stupid" in my opinion is not a valid response to the argument.
Secondly 80% of the worlds population believe in a higher power of some kind.
If you believe in a God or Gods then you by defualt have to except the notion of evil or demonic spirits as well. Which places those abbussive comment in the minority. Regardless of whether you like that fact or not.
Lastly I do believe in putting forwad a valid debate so I will submit the following on Kannin's behalf :
The creation of the universe is the holly grail (pardon the pun) of science and evloution theory. So when we look at the very birth of the universe it seems plausable but what scientists alway fail to ponit out is the math!!
If the expansion rate of the early universe was just a trillionth of one percent higher than it was, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for solid matter to form at all and if the expansion rate had been just a trillionth of a percent less than it was the universe would have collapsed back in on itself.
In either case there would be no stars, no planets and no life. But supposing it did result purely by chance, it certainly wouldn’t have been spot on the first time, in which case we can assume that the universe kept trying again and again until it reached that perfect balance. Here we have a situation whereby trillions and trillions of attempts would be required to get it right. Unless the universe could somehow learn from its mistakes – then it would be able to achieve success much more quickly and easily. This scenario suggests that the universe must either be self-consciousness or have been designed by some intelligence that exists beyond the psychics of the known material universe.
The eminent mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose calculated the chances of a life-supporting universe happening by chance to be 1 in 1010^123... Let me try to put that number into perspective:
1010^3 is a 1 followed by a thousand zeros,
1010^6 is a 1 followed by a million zeros and
1010^9 is a 1 followed by billion zeros.
These numbers are practically impossible to imagine, but 1010^123 is so large of a number that it borders on almost impossible for even our best computers to process and calculate.
So with odds of only 1 in 1010^123 it can be said with "absolute mathematical certainty" that a life-supporting universe could never happen by random chance.
So yes the same math and science you use to disprover a higher power just provided proof for the exsistance of it!!
Enjoy
