Sad thing is, you can't stop it from happening, there is not enough willforce in your body to stop it. The only thing you can hope to do is try and prevent it from happening.

I would disagree. Will-force, prayer and specific actions can indeed prevent and stop a possesion. It is somewhat dependant on religion and what type of spirit(s) it is however.

Depending on the strength of the spirit, your willpower alone should probably be enough to prevent it from happening.

If you decided to play Crowley and summon a demon for the purpose of being possessed, then obviously you'd need a lot more than just your willpower. There are a number of rituals for a number of religions that are used for the purpose of exorcism. If your will isn't strong enough to prevent it on your own, you might consider looking into these...

I feel you can fight it. If your will power or mind is strong enough you can do anything and fight off anything that tries to take you over.

you can fight it but then you should strenthen your sheilds

depends on your willpower shields what kind of spirit it is and actually what it truly wants.

there is many magickal protections and various amulets and satchets that can be made for protections.

i find that in possessions it is alot more than just mind over matter as there are other powers some universal which may be at hand,protection now i feel that,that is in ones own faith,which can be hard if one falls weak to such powers.

Luck for me certain angels have me under thier protection. (cannot count how many times I said wow that would have been it) I have used certain "spells" for others that have worked but I knew them personally and could tailor the spell to the person. with good thoughts "Spot"

Honestly I have never been possesed to my knowledge However I have been to a point in my life where I felt as if there was some sort of demon that had a hold on me. Causing me to do things that I wish I never did in the first place.

Never happened to me. I'm too stubborn for the spirit world to bother with in that capacity. Plus, I believe, there is a faith factor that exists in the possessed that draws spirits. I am very muc lacking in faith.

My brother, CerebralAssassin, however, has fought off some serious predators before.

I still feel that if your strong minded or sprited then you can fight off anything

My brother swore up and down at one time that he was possessed..I never saw a difference in him..no one did. It is hard to tell when a person is possessed unless there are visible signs.

I belive you could fight it with will power..and your mind but..if the spirit(s) would ever return it would be stronger and you might not be able to prevent it..

Your soul is yours. It belongs to no one and nothing else, nor does anyone else have any sort of right to it. Your will, strength, and desire to hold on to yourself is important. A moment of weakness, a moment of doubt...that's when you can most easily be possessed.

As far as protection goes...I've always simply imagined myself protected by light that surrounds my being. I always found the imagination a handy tool.

I have never felt possessed but things have happened that I don't remember like waking up someplace after going to sleep some place else.

I think it would be hard to allow yourself to become possessed.

i dont think i have... but the
truth is i know how it feels!
i have felt like it before!

I've never been possesed, but have had demons chanel through me before, not a fun feeling I assure you. but I have seen it happen before with my ex husband atthe time I was married to him. He was drunk and well he was not himself that night and I could feel the evil eminating from hiim. I would not even be in the same room with him at all when this was happening, finally he passed out and the next morning he didn't remember a thing, but I sure as hell has a mess to clean up, and I'm not talking about things flying across the room mess either.

I have been "attacked" for lack of a better word, through magick by another witch, but I've never felt another presence trying to possess me.

Yes. There was one time. It was in Oct. of 2005. I was feeling a great pressure. Something just didn't feel right, and I would laugh one min and then cry uncontrollably the next. It was the weirdest thing I've ever felt before in my life. I was shortly after admitted into Parkridge Vally Hospital (technically, it's a Mental rehabillitaion hospital) They put me on medication because of course doping a kid up will make all the problems go away *rolls eyes* I still see things that no one else does. Little things. I might just be more observant that the average human... but evil is all around.

Naw, Ive always been pretty solid on who i am. Soul and all. Unless im acually a spirit in someone elses body? think about it. O.o

as a shaman, i believe that we are all possessed to some point - hopefully by helpful spirits, but sometimes harmful spirits can possess us. you can fight it by learning to speak to your spirits, and knowing your spirit landscape.

I can honestly say that I never felt like i was possessed

i do not know if i have ever been possessed, but i am sure we have all felt numerous emotions in different situations, is that a form of possession?

I dont belive so, not unless it was something supernatural making you feel this way.

I know people that have been possessed but not me personnally

some times when i was mentally exausted if i was sleeping with my children i would spook my self that they might be attacked and possessed. this scares the life out of me when i am in this state. i i can do is ride it out and remember higher power.

My friends and I had this thing we did when we were teenagers. We thought it was a really, really good idea to ask things we couldn’t see with our eyes (most times) to possess our bodies. "Hey, I said something and don’t remember it? Neat!"
Oh, the things we do when we’re bored.

well I still think to be possed you may not be very strong minded and this is why or how it could happen.

it actually happened to a friend of mine... very strange...

I've never been possessed, but I've been stalked by a "Big Bad" as I like to call them. I'm not sure which is worse, being possessed, or being stalked. It's not a very good feeling.

i have never been possessed and i do not think that a lot of people has either i think that it is rare when people are possessed, and if it does happen i do not think that their is any way to stop it

I have never experienced any thing like that, but I have always heard that you can not be posessed if you have strong will power.

I would think if you are a strong minded person that it would be really hard to become possessed.

i have been but i overcame it with love and happiness...

there is not real way to prvent it, it take less then a seocnd to be possess, and alot fo fight back to prevent it, I was at several time in thbis situation and fearing fo being taken over

I have had more than one instance with this. One was welcomed and was quite fun. i enjoyed being the Avatar Body for the Spirit in me. It lasted for a week.

The others are more of a trapped possession. I have a Spirit inside me that has possessed me at one point in time. I keep it locked inside my being. It will constantly try to take control of me, but my will is stronger. But it is a constant battle on many an occassion.

I personally have not been possessed. I have seen people that claim to be and that was some creepy shit to see. I have felt like I was under attack before though.....guess I was to stubborn to give in. :)

It can happen to anyone.
And yes, It can be removed, by some experienced in this field.

This never happened to me but I think, if yo uhave a powerful mind, you will be about to fight it.

yes if your mind is strong enoughthen you should be able to fight it.

interesting

I believe that if you keep your mind strong then you can fight it. But we all know that none of us keep our minds truely strong all of the time. Things happen that cause small weaknesses in us all that something can work into

i have never been possessed but i believe if you have a strong enough will you could fight if off, but not all beings that possess us are trying to harm us some are trying to help us by guiding our thoughts and some of our actions.

I don't think I have ever become possed but I did have a dead soul attached to me ... or so it was explained ... that someone had sent it to do me harm.

I do not believe it's possible to prevent it.

I really wouldnt know if you can overcome it or not for I have not ever been possessed.

I've had it happen once, when I was a lot younger, and was into "things" that should best be left alone. By messing with powers that I should not have been attracting in the first place.

The attempt came just as I laid down to sleep. No sooner then my head hit the pillow the attack started. I had a fight to keep myself here, and even my father came in from the other room to see what was wrong. Obviously, We won. :)

i have never been possessed. i would hope that if it ever happened i would be strong enough to fight it and make it go away.

I don't think its possible to become possed. I believe there are no spirits left over in this world besides those in a living body.

Depending on your will and spirte and how strong the spirte is , It is usually done with some kind of religouse prayer
and strong religouse prayer If you will it to go in Gods name yes its supposed to leave .

alot of times in my dreams there were times where i had to fight off the compulsion to do something that i didnt want to do...it was very powerful and very painful but eventually i over came it
sometimes it even happens during different situations in life outside of dreams
it can be just as painful but eventually i found something to draw my mind from what is happening

I claimed I was possessed when I did something wrong,,, the devil made me do it,,, does that count?

I Think You can fight a Possession.. The Power of the Mind is a Amazing thing .. If a Persons Will Power and Strength and Mental Ability to control and channel Their Thoughts Is Good enough thet can Rid of or Stop a Possession from occuring

One time when I visited the Winchester Mystery House, my ex husband told me that something happened to me there, that he saw a change in me, that I was talking differently, and acting very strange. As I'm distantly related to Sarah Winchester, I always felt that perhaps she was trying to communicate through me............I would love to go back to see what would happen on another visit

I myself have never felt that way but i was in the pressense of my friend who right at that moment felt herself loseing control. It was by far the scariest thing i have ever witnessed.

i have never been possessed but do i think its possible of course, anything is possible,

that sounds interesting nut i have never heard anyone posses by others dead or alive.

Yes, yes, yes, I don't think it's the evil man himself, but probably little evil dudes (sorry, demons) under his power, but I am easily swayed SOMETIMES to do the wrong thing because, well, it's easier than doing what I have....I don't mean killing, but lies, the little things that can become big and I know it's not me ... I know the real me wouldn't do that, so I actually say out loud NO, not going to happen .. I make it a joke, close my eyes, breathe and it passes...

Possession can be by a good or evil spirit, in my opinion

I just don't believe it can really happen. The closest I've seen is a guy on a meth binge.

Well first and foremost becoming possessed it 100% possible.

And secondly, If you are very strong willed and have a strong mind, spirit and personality then you should not worry alot about becoming possessed.
Spirits look to possess the weak minded because they can be controlled and influenced easily.

A demon or spirit doesn't want to have to use all it's energy fighting with it's host.
People who are possessed usually have some sort of weakness wheither it be mental or spiritual. The spirit seeks out those with these weaknesses.

If you believe you have a demon or spirit trying to possess you, then if you believe in a diety pray to that diety for protectiona and strenghth.

Don't be afraid to speak aloud to the spirit and tell it that it is not welcome and it must leave. That is has no power over you.

If you have more questions please feel free to contact me.

I actually wish you could show some proof of this. I'm not being an ass or being sarcastic. I would just actually love to view it for myself.

I have never been possessed, but who would really want to?

First of all let me state that I have been subject to spiritual attack on more than one occasion. I have been sensitive to demons and spirits all my life.
The things i mentioned above are from personal experience.
Below are from a site online that pretty much states the same just a bit differently.



1. Have a positive, cheerful attitude. Since on the mental and spirit plane "like attracts like," a positive attitude will attract positive and benign spirits to you.

2. Maintain harmony and balance in your mind, body and spirit. Keep your emotional side especially in check and not prone to outbursts of anger.

3. Avoid being in the company of highly negative people or going to negative places. Negative individuals can sap your energy and drain you, thereby making spirit possession easier. The same in places with negative or earthbound spirits, for example, hospitals, cemeteries, wakes or haunted houses.

4. Remember you have free will. You are the master of your own life and destiny. Do not allow another entity to conquer or over-power your will. Remember even God respects our will and will not do anything to go against it. Only evil spirits try to overpower our will. Do not succumb to such attempts. Assert your will over any other entity and command it to "Begone!"

5. Carry protective or sacred objects with you. If you are a Christian, you may carry with you some powerful religious objects that you believe in. For example, St. Benedict's medal, which was specially charged or blessed by an authorized Benedictine Priest, can help protect you against demonic possession. If you believe in quartz crystals or amulets, have one specially blessed or charged by a competent person to protect you.

6. Practice discernment. If an evil spirit is present, you can sense this. Your body will react in a different way compared to the presence of a good spirit. Learn to distinguish them. Discernment is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to St. Paul.

hi guys im new to vr and the forum, i thought this would be the best place to post this question. some mornings i wake with large red marks that appear all over my chest that look like scratches or whip marks. normally after i shower they really stand out then disappear shortly after. they never feel painful and i have no idea why they appear.
any ideas what they could be?

there are different levels of becoming possessed.
some people would say that becoming possessed and being possessed is merely a state of mind.
what you think and what you are involved with create you.
you can also become possessed by something good.
you can act like your music, for instance, sumbliminal messages.
they may tell you a certain thing and the more you listen to it the more you revolve and act around it.
your mind processes things even when you do not know about it.
stealing your soul acts the same way but it is more sacred.
if you feel like there is something bad dwelling within you it is really your power to get rid of it.
no one can do it for you and most likely it is not really there.

one question, are we talking about possision or opression?

We have been discussing Possession and if you can prevent becoming possessed.

I am with Legendary on this one. I firmly believe that nothing can possess you without you allowing it to happen.

i wholly agree on the 'not being posessed unless you allow it' idea. but some people may allow or even flat out invite it without realizing. i've seen the consequences of being weak enough to drop your guard, and of the other sort, where they actually ask for it.

I have to agree i have never been possessed but thats not to say that it could not happen, it depends on what you toy with.

i do believe you can .. more so if depressed or fautiged.. much like when i sleep .. i tend to wake with a phrase i remember well .. lucifer do ramus nocdrum

it kind of scared hell out of me .. but now i joke about it with people at work i want to spook out.. i hope i spelled it right

honestly cant say this has happend to me but i hope u can find a way to strengthen your self and fight it off

happen lol sorry for the typo everyone.

Well it's definitely possible, for anyone to be possessed, it's a little more likely if you see ghosts, ghouls, and other things like that.

i dont know about being possed , i know when i was little folks use to think i was...lol but i do know how it feels like something is always tugging and tryen to break out of me.

i have never felt possessed

you can fight it but you may not be able to stop it

I think if you try to stay positive and not let yourself be open to it in the first place you can prevent it from being able to posses you in the first place.

i had a friend who was..

I have never been Possessed but I have felt some thing evil around me before

I believe that I was posessed when I was younger.

I would just suddenly come to my senses some nights, as if I'd been sleeping, to find my parents in my bedroom, telling me that I had been screaming and talking strangely to them (not talking in a different voice, but rather saying things that didn't make sense), only I couldn't remember any of it.

I don't believe posessions happen like they do in movies like The Exorcist, with levitations and head-spins. Pure Hollywood glitz, if you ask me.

Oh, ya Hollywood totally blows things up, and over the limit, but it was a pretty good movie even if I don't believe in being possessed by a demon.

I believe in demonic possession, but I don't think it happens any differently from non-demonic possessions

I believe in possession as well it has never happened to me but I have felt things around me I just don't think they can possess you unless you let them in somehow

it is possible to fight it off but it all depends on your power and the power of what is trying to possess you. You should always have shields up or at least excessable for protection from anything.

I often welcome possession …. My body is a vessel for deity’s n demons alike.
Once one knows the traits of the particular being it is easy to notice residue in your personality …. Mind u I haven’t had one last more than a hour… maybe im not good enough

I have never believed in deitic possession

I have never had the feeling like I was being Possessed...

Anytime i am too relaxed, i have this feeling that something is trying to take something from me, like sucking my spirit from my body, but i have always been able to fight it off, im not sure why this happens, i don't know if it is possession, but i suppose it is as close as i could get to possession.

i can honetly say i have never been possessed nor would i want to be because you never know whats going on ,on the inside ...

There were a couple times I felt like not myself as if something took over. I felt like a very different person than I normally was. I don't know if it was possession or not but it felt very unlike me. I had overwhelming feeling of anger, strength and not being all there.

i wood fill sorry if a spirit in me would consune it

never felt tht and hope i never will
