Nuctemeron 2

 THE NUCTEMERON ACCORDING TO THE HEBREWS

Extracted from the ancient Talmud termed Mischna by the Jews

The Nuctemeron of Apollonius, borrowed from Greek theurgy, completed and explained by the Assyrian hierarchy of genii, perfectly corresponds to the philosophy of numbers as we find it expounded in the most curious pages of the Talmud. Thus, the Pythagoreans go back further than Pythagoras ; thus, Genesis is a magnificent allegory, which, under the form of a narrative, conceals the secrets not only of the creation achieved of old, but of permanent and universal creation, the eternal generation of beings. "We read as follows in the Talmud : " God hath stretched out the heaven like a tabernacle ; He hath spread the world like a table richly dight ; and He hath created man as if He invited a guest." Listen now to the words of the King Schlomoh : " The divine Chocmah, Wisdom, the Bride of God, hath built a house unto herself, and hath dressed two pillars. She hath immolated her victims, she hath mingled her wine, she hath spread the table, and
she hath despatched her servitors." This Wisdom, who builds her house according to a regular and numerical
architecture, is that exact science which rules in the works of God. It is His compass and His square. The seven pillars are the seven typical and primordial days. The victims are natural forces which are propagated by undergoing a species of death. Mingled wine is the universal fluid, the table is the world with the waters full of fishes. The servants of Chocmah are the souls of Adam and of Chavah (Eve). The earth of which Adam was formed was taken from the entire mass of the world. His head is Israel, his body the empire of Babylon, and his limbs are the other nations of the earth. (Here manifest the aspirations of the initiates of Moses towards a universal oriental kingdom.) Now, there are twelve hours in the day of man's creation.

First Hour:
God combines the scattered fragments of earth ; he kneads them together, and forms one mass, which it is his will to animate.

Explanation:
Man is the synthesis of the created world ; in him recurs the creative unity ; he is made in the image and likeness of God.

Second Hour:
God designs the form of the body ; he separates it into two sections, so that the organs may be double, for all force and all life result from two, and it is thus the Elohim made all things.

Explanation:
Everything lives by movement, everything is maintained by equilibrium, and harmony results from the analogy of contraries ; this law is the form of forms, the first manifestation of the activity and fecundity of God.

Third Hour:
The limbs of man, obeying the law of life, manifest of themselves and are completed by the generative organ,
which is composed of one and two, figure of the triadic number.

Explanation:
The triad issues spontaneously from the duad ; the movement which produces two also produces three ; three is the key of numbers, for it is the first numeral synthesis ; in geometry it is the triangle, the first complete and enclosed figure, generatrix of an infinity of triangles, whether like or
unlike.

Fourth Hour:
God breathes upon the face of man and imparts to him a soul.

Explanation:
The tetrad, which geometrically gives the cross and the square, is the perfect number ; now, it is in perfection of form that the intelligent soul manifests ; according to this revelation of the Mischna, the child would not become animated in the mother's womb till after the complete formation of all its members.

Fifth Hour:
Man stands upon his feet, he is weaned from earth, he walks and goes where he will.

Explanation:
The number five is that of the soul, typified by the quintessence which results from the equilibrium of the four elements ; in the Tarot this number is represented by the high-priest or spiritual autocrat, type of the human will, that high-priestess who alone decides our eternal destinies.

Sixth Hour:
The animals pass before Adam, and he gives a suitable name to each.

Explanation:
Man by toil subdues the earth and overcomes the animals ; by the manifestation of his liberty he produces his word or speech in the environment which obeys him; herein primordial creation is completed. God formed man on the sixth day, but at the sixth hour of the day man fulfils the work of God, and to some extent recreates himself, by enthroning himself as king of nature, which he subjects by his speech.

Seventh Hour:
God gives Adam a companion brought forth out of the man's own substance.

Explanation:
When God had created man in his own image, He rested on the seventh day, for He had given unto Himself a fruitful bride who would unceasingly work for Him ; nature is the bride of God, and God rests on her. Man, becoming creator in his turn by means of the word, gives himself a companion like unto himself, on whose love he may lean henceforth ; woman is the work of man ; by loving her, he makes her beautiful, and he also makes her a mother ; woman is true human nature, daughter and mother of man, granddaughter and grandmother of God.

Eighth Hour:
Adam and Eve enter the nuptial bed ; they are two when they lie down, and when they arise they are four.

Explanation:
The tetrad joined to the tetrad represents form balancing form, creation issuing from creation, the eternal equipoise of life ; seven being the number of God's rest, the unity which follows it signifies man, who toils and co-operates with nature in the work of creation.

Ninth Hour:
God imposes his law on man.

Explanation:
Nine is the number of initiation, because, being composed of three times three, it represents the divine idea and the absolute philosophy of numbers, for which reason Apollonius says that the mysteries of the number nine are not to be revealed.

Tenth Hour:
At the tenth hour Adam falls into sin.

Explanation:
According to the kabbalist ten is the number of matter, of which the special sign is zero ; in the tree of the
sephiroth ten represents Malchuth, or exterior and material substance ; the sin of Adam is therefore materialism, and the fruit which he plucks from the tree represents flesh isolated from spirit, zero separated from unity, the schism of the number ten, giving on the one side a despoiled unity and on the other nothingness and death.

Eleventh Hour:
At the eleventh hour the sinner is condemned to labour, and to expiate his sin by suffering.

Explanation:
In the Tarot, eleven represents force, which is acquired through trials ; God sends man pain as a means of salvation, and hence he must strive and endure that he may conquer intelligence and life.

Twelfth Hour:
Man and woman undergo their sentence ; the expiation begins, and the liberator is promised.

Explanation:
Such is the completion of moral birth ; man is fulfilled, for he is dedicated to the sacrifice which regenerates ; the exile of Adam is like that of Oedipus ; like Oedipus he becomes the father of two enemies, but the daughter of Oedipus is the pious and virginal Antigone, while Mary issues from the race of Adam.

THE NUCTEMERON OF APOLLONIUS OF TYANA
Translated and interpreted by Eliphas Levi

The Greek text was first published after an ancient manuscript, by Gilbert Gautrinus, in De Vita et Morte Moysis, Lib. III., p. 206 ; and subsequently reproduced by Laurent Moshemius in his Sacred and Historico-Oitical Observations. Amsterdam, 1721. Translated and interpreted for the first time by Eliphas Levi.

NUCTEMERON signifies the day of the night or the night illumined by day. It is analogous to the " Light Issuing from Darkness," which is the title of a well-known Hermetic work. It may also be translated THE LIGHT OF OCCULTISM. This monument of transcendent Assyrian magic is sufficiently curious to make it superfluous to enlarge on its importance. We have not merely evoked Apollonius, we have possibly resuscitated him.

THE NUCTEMERON

The First Hour.
In unity, the demons chant the praises of God ; they lose their malice and fury.

The Second Hour.
By the duad, the Zodiacal fish chant the praises of God ; the fiery serpents interlace about the caduceus, and the lightning becomes liarmonous.

The Third Hour.
The serpents of the Hermetic caduceus entwine three times ; Cerberus opens his triple jaw, and fire chants the praises of God with the three tongues of the lightning.

The Fourth Hour.
At the fourth hour the soul revisits the tombs ; the magical lamps are lighted at the four corners of the circle ; it is the time of enchantments and illusions.

The Fifth Hour.
The voice of the great waters celebrates the God of the heavenly

The Sixth Hour.
The spirit believes itself immovable ; it beholds the infernal monsters swarm down upon it, and does not fear.

The Seventh Hour.
A fire, which imparts life to all animated beings, is directed by the will of pure men. The initiate stretches forth his hand, and pains are assuaged.

The Eighth Hour.
The stars utter speech to one another ; the soul of the suns corresponds with the exhalation of the flowers; chains of harmony create correspondence between all natural things.

The Ninth Hour.
The number which must not be divulged.

The Tenth Hour.
The key of the astronomical cycle and of the circular movement of human life.

The Eleventh Hour.
The wings of the genii move with a mysterious and deep murmur; they fly from sphere to sphere, and bear the messages of God from world to world.

The Twelfth Hour.
The works of the light eternal are fulfilled by fire.

EXPLANATION

THESE twelve symbolical hours, analogous to the signs of the magical Zodiac and to the allegorical labours of Hercules, represent the schedule of the works of initiation. It is necessary therefore (1) To overcome evil passions, and, according to the expression of the wise Hierophant, compel the demons themselves to praise God. (2) To study the balanced forces of nature, and know how harmony results from the analogy of contraries ; to know also the great magical agent and the twofold polarisation of the universal light. (3) To gain initiation into the triadic principle of all theogonies and all religious symbols. (4) To know how to overcome all phantoms of imagination, and triumph over all illusions. (5) To understand after what manner universal harmony is produced in the centre of the four elementary forces. (6) To become inaccessible to fear. (7) To practise the direction of the magnetic light. (8) To learn prevision of effects by the calculus of the balance of causes. (9) To understand the hierarchy of instruction, to respect the mysteries of dogma, and to keep silence in presence of the profane. (10) To study astronomy exhaustively. (11) To become initiated by analogy into the laws of universal life and intelligence. (12) To fulfil the great works of nature by direction of the light.

Here follow the names and attributions of the genii who preside over the twelve hours of the Nuctemeron. By these genii the ancient hierophants understood neither angels nor demons, but moral forces or personified virtues.

Genii of the First Hour:
PAPUS, physician. SINBUCK, judge. KASPHUIA, necromancer. ZAHUN, genius of scandal. HEIGLOT, genius of snowstorms. MIZKUN, genius of amulets. HAVEN, genius of dignity.

Explanation:
We must become the physician and judge of ourselves in order to vanquish the witchcrafts of the necromancer, conjure and contemn the genius of scandal, triumph over the opinion which freezes all enthusiasms, and confounds everything in the same cold pallor, like the genius of the snowstorms; know, finally, the virtue of signs so as to enchain the genius of amulets that we may reach the dignity of the
magus.

Genii of the Second Hour:
SISERA, genius of desire. TORVATUS, genius of discord. NITIBUS, genius of the stars. HIZARBIN, genius of the seas. SACHLUPH, genius of plants. BAGLIS, genius of measure and balance. LABEZERIN, genius of success.

Explanation:
We must learn how to will and thus transform the genius of desire into power ; the hindrance to will is the genius of discord, who is bound by the science of harmony. Harmony is the genius of the stars and of the seas; we must study the virtue of plants, and understand the laws of the balance of measure in order to attain success.

Genii of the Third Hour:
HAHABI, genius of fear. PHLOGABITUS, genius of adornments. EIRNEUS, destroying genius of idols. MASCARUN, genius of death. ZAROBI, genius of precipices. BUTATAR, genius of calculations. CAHOR, genius of deception.

Explanation:
When you have conquered the genius of fear by the growing force of your will, you will know that dogmas are
the sacred adornments of truth unknown to the vulgar ; but you will cast down all idols in your intelligence ; you will bind the genius of death ; you will fathom all precipices and subject the infinite itself to the ratio of your calculations ; and thus you will ever escape the ambushes of the genius
of deception.

Genii of the Fourth Hour:
PHALGUS, genius of judgment. THAGRINUS, genius of confusion. EISTIBUS, genius of divination. PHARZUPH, genius of fornication. SISLAU, genius of poisons. SCHIEKRON, genius of bestial love. ACLAHAYR, genius of sport.

Explanation:
The power of the magus is in his judgment, which enables him to avoid the confusion consequent on antinomy and the antagonism of principles ; he practises the divination of the sages, but he despises the illusions of enchanters who are the slaves of fornication, artists in poisons, ministers of bestial love ; in this way he is victorious over fatality, which is the genius of sport.

Genii of the Fifth Hour:
ZEIRNA, genius of infirmities. TABLIBIK, genius of fascination. TACRITAU, genius of goetic magic. SUPHLATUS, genius of the dust. SAIR, genius of the stibium of the sages. BARCUS, genius of the quintessence. CAMAYSAR, genius of the marriage of contraries.

Explanation:
Triumphing over human infirmities, the magus is no longer the sport of fascination ; he tramples on the vain
and dangerous practices of goetic magic, the whole power of which is but dust driven before the wind ; but he possesses the stibium of the sages ; he is armed with all the creative powers of the quintessence; and he produces at will the harmony which results from the analogy and the marriage of contraries.

Genii of the Sixth Hour:
TABRIS, genius of free will. SUSABO, genius of voyages. EIRNILUS, genius of fruits. NITIKA, genius of precious stones. HAATAN, genius who conceals treasures. HATIPHAS, genius of attire. ZAREN, avenging genius.

Explanation:
The magus is free ; he is the occult king of the earth, and he traverses it as one passing through his own domain. In his voyages he becomes acquainted with the juices of plants and fruits, and with the virtues of precious stones ; he compels the genius who conceals the treasures of nature to deliver him all his secrets ; he thus penetrates the mysteries of form ; understands the vestures of earth and speech ; and if he be misconstrued, if the nations are inhospitable towards him, if he pass doing good but receiving outrages, then is he ever followed by the avenging genius.

Genii of the Seventh Hour:
SIALUL, genius of prosperity. SABRUS, sustaining genius. LIBRABIS, genius of hidden gold. MIZGITARI, genius of eagles. CAUSUB, serpent-charming genius. SALILUS, genius who sets doors open. JAZER, genius who compels love.

Explanation:
The septenary expresses the victory of the magus ; who gives prosperity to men and nations ; who sustains them by his sublime instructions ; who broods like the eagle ; who directs the currents of the astral fire, represented by serpents ; the gates of all sanctuaries are open to him, and in him all souls who yearn for truth repose their trust ; he is beautiful in his moral grandeur ; and everywhere does he take with him that genius by the power of which we obtain love.

Genii of the Eighth Hour:
NANTUR, genius of writing. TOGLAS, genius of treasures. ZALBURIS, genius of therapeutics. ALPHUN, genius of doves. TUKIPHAT, genius of the schamir. ZIZUPH, genius of mysteries. CUNIALI, genius of association.

Explanation:
These are the genii who obey the true magus ; the doves represent religious ideas; the schamir is an allegorical
diamond, which in magical traditions represents the stone of the sages, or that force which nothing can resist, because it is based on truth. The Arabs still say that the schamir, originally given to Adam and lost by him after his fall, was recovered by Enoch and possessed by Zoroaster ; and that Solomon subsequently received it from an angel when he entreated wisdom from God. By means of this magical diamond, Solomon himself dressed the stones of the temple merely by touching them with the schamir.

Genii of the Ninth Hour:
EISNUCH, genius of agriculture. SUCLAGUS, genius of fire. KIRTABUS, genius of languages. SABLIL, genius who discovers thieves. SCHACHLJL, genius of the sun's rays. COLOPATIRON, genius who sets prisons open. ZEFFAK, genius of irrevocable choice.

Explanation:
This number, says Apollonius, must be passed over in silence, because it contains the great secrets of the initiate, the power which fructifies the earth, the mysteries of secret fire, the universal key of languages, the second sight from which evil-doers cannot remain concealed. The great laws of equilibrium and of luminous motion represented by the four animals of the Kabbalah, and in Greek mythology by the four horses of the sun, the key of the emancipation of bodies and souls, opening all prisons, and that power of eternal choice which completes the creation of man and establishes him in immortality.

Genii of the Tenth Hour:
SEZARBIL, devil or hostile genius. AZEUPH, destroyer of children. ARMILUS, genius of cupidity. KATARIS, genius of dogs or of the profane. RAZANIL, genius of the onyx. BUCAPHI, genius of stryges. MASTHO, genius of delusive appearances.

Explanation:
Numbers end with nine, and the distinctive sign of the denary is zero, itself without value, added to unity. The
genii of the tenth hour represent all which, being nothing in itself, receives great power from opinion, and can suffer consequently the omnipotence of the sage. We tread here on hot earth, and we must be permitted to omit elucidations to the profane as to the devil, who is their master, or the destroyer of children, who is their love, or the cupidity, which is their god, or the dogs, to which we do not compare them, or to the onyx, which they possess not, or to the stryges, who are their courtesans, or to the false appearances which they take for truth.

Genii of the Eleventh Hour:
EGLUN, genius of the lightning. ZUPHLAS, genius of forests. PHALDOR, genius of oracles. ROSABIS, genius of metals. ADJUCHAS, genius of rocks. ZOPHAS, genius of pantacles. HALACHO, genius of sympathies.

Explanation:
The lightning obeys man ; it becomes the vehicle of his will, the instrument of his power, the light of his torches ; the oaks of the sacred forests utter oracles : metals change and transmute into gold, or become talismans ; rocks move from their foundation, and, drawn by the lyre of the grand hierophant, touched by the mysterious schamir, transform into temples and palaces ; dogmas evolve ; symbols represented by pantacles become efficacious ; minds are enchained by powerful sympathies, and obey the laws of family and friendship.

Genii of the Twelfth Hour:
TARAB, genius of extortion. MISRAN, genius of persecution. LABUS, genius of inquisition. KALAB, genius of sacred vessels. HAHAB, genius of royal tables. MARNES, genius of the discernment of spirits. SELLEN, genius of the favour of the great.

Explanation:
Here now is the fate which the magi must expect, and how their sacrifice must be consummated ; for after the
conquest of life, they must know how to immolate themselves in order to be reborn immortal. They will suffer extortion; gold, pleasure, vengeance will be required of them, and if they fail to satisfy vulgar cupidities they will be the objects of persecution and inquisition ; yet the sacred vessels are not profaned ; they are made for royal tables, that is, for the feasts of the understanding. By the discernment of spirits they will know how to protect themselves from the favour of the great, and they will remain invincible in their strength and in their liberty.

Another chapter from upcoming ebook (chapter 3.)

Chapter 3

If we do suspect there is a matter of possession of an individual because of things they say or do, then we first must examine any possible physical causes. If there is evidence that leads us to believe that the cause of an individuals’ behaviour is indeed physical then we must empirically measure that cause and the effects resulting from that cause and the condition resulting from it. The physical well being of such an individual is just as important as the mental and spiritual well being of that person. There has to be a process of elimination and deduction which has to be applied in a systematic manner. From this we might find that a physical condition has lead to a mental condition which in turn manifests as a spiritual condition.

It is simply wrong to declare that everything that is wrong in a person is because of the devil, maybe the root cause of a series of conditions and circumstances has a satanic factor but unless we go backwards in identifying and eliminating factors then we will not identify that satanic factor nor be able to deal with other factors which will remain unidentified. There should never be a case of "operation was successful but the patient is dead".

I want to empathise at this point that we are dealing with the possession of a physical body by a djinni and not the activities of dybbuks who haunt people and places; Dybbuks do not possess or 'bonejack' bodies (as a rule but as they are still djinn they might attempt this, this will most likely occur on an atheist who will then approach the person the dybbuk "clings" to in order to convey a message or have 'interaction' with that person). Possession of a body may be an on going matter or a temporary/momentarily one, during my time as a theistic Satanist I had a few occasions where strangers would approach me and give me money for no reason. I very much doubt they understood or remembered those moments, that is because they did not control any aspect of their physical being. Most likely they were atheists and were not entitled to any protection especially if they openly renounced God and did not care to acknowledge anything to do with Satan.

Does atheism invite possession? I think it is better to say that it advertises that a body is available to be possessed, but does not guarantee it. So now let us look at possible causes, the results of which may be mistakenly identified as "possession".

Physical
* Brain tumours - These may interfere with segments of the brain which control speech, memory and judgment.
* Pathogens - Virii and microbes may travel in the bloodstream and enter into the brain killing brain matter or developing cysts or else develop conditions which interfere with the brain; Syphilis is an example.
* Circulation problems - If there is an interference of blood flow it may deny oxygen to the brain.
* Neurological disorders - Disturbance in relation to the nerves may manifest in various 'fits'; epilepsy would be an example.
* Allergies - Some people can become hypersensitive to common chemicals which have no effect on 99.9% of other people, reactions to these chemicals can be devastating or fatal. Substances such as lead or the likes of a 'toxic house syndrome' might be mistaken as possession or mental illness by those unaffected by those chemicals and substances.
* Drugs - Both legal and illegal and including those of varying classification. With legal drugs we are dealing with the likes of pharmaceutical prescription drugs and these may include the likes of sedatives and tranquilisers. In addition there is the issue of multiple prescriptions from multiple doctors concerning multiple illnesses. These days it is of no surprise to find someone taking pills for 'anxiety' while at the same time taking pills for a heart condition. On top of that we have the situation where pharmaceutical companies may alter ingredients and recipes for their prescription drugs without the knowledge or understanding of the doctors and patients of these alterations.
In regards to illegal drugs the users of them may be prone to psychosis and paranoia. LSD, methamphetamines (ice) and even marijuana have long term affects resulting from long term use. Street drugs may be altered or 'cut' with a variety of substances without any regard for the users of those drugs, they may be cut with things like baking soda, cleaning products or other pharmaceuticals.
As to substances that are of an uncertain status such as imitation street drugs, these substances are purely artificial and comprise of varying chemical compounds which have been altered so as not to be of the exact same chemical compound as illegal drugs. These 'drugs' imitate the effects of LSD, marijuana, amphetamines among others. We also have to consider and take in that people may be combining various drugs (whether legal or illegal) and that includes alcohol.

Mental
* Psychiatric diagnosed illnesses - These are the classic mental illnesses such as manic depression (now generally referred to as bi-polar), schizophrenia and paranoia. Although these are separate conditions you will find that some of those who have these conditions will have the classic symptoms of more than one condition simultaneously (an example being paranoid schizophrenia).
* Various psychological conditions - Myself I think that a lot of these conditions are the result of a victimhood mindset as well as crooked mental health professionals seeking to increase their list of 'clients'. The usual treatment for these ‘conditions’ is usually tranquilisers and sedatives like Prozac and Xanax.
* Sexual abuse - Children and indeed adults who are subjected to repeated sexual abuse may be traumatised to the extent that they may have 'out of body' experiences or else develop separate personalities.
* Near death experience - Something of this nature may lead someone to examine and question their life, and indeed reject the current status quo and indeed their lifestyle or even their persona.
* Isolation - Whether it is because of a shipwreck, solitary confinement in prison, having to reside in a remote location or else lacking the social skills to interact with other people. Then it would not be unreasonable to expect that ones imagination would come into constant use or indeed overuse.
* Gaslighting - People may choose to engage in psychological warfare against someone in order to cause doubt, anxiety and to even question their own sanity. One could include hypnosis in this category.
* Attention seeking - Yes this happens and as we have seen and will continue to see that people will engage in all manner of activities in order to get attention.
* Compulsive liars - Those whom for some unknown reason feel the need to act out as though they are possessed, they may be attention seekers but then again they may not.

Spiritual
* Fraudulent beliefs - We have seen cults based not on any spiritual belief but rather were created in order to defraud its members. Once the fraud was uncovered the members of such cults had no other alternative belief and usually ended up atheist, or else involved in other cults (which may be Satanist or occult based).
* Politically based spiritualism - We can see this in the likes of left wing churches which are essentially Marxist, or else we can see it in the likes of the American black "Nation of Islam" or the "World Church Of The Creator" which is for whites only. These creeds are physically based and not spiritual, left wing churches have a huge percentage of homosexual members. The "Nation of Islam" and the "World Church of The Creator" cater to those of a certain skin colour. They are both atheist and apostate as they do not believe in a spiritual creator and in that void they have redefined God to suit their physically based agenda. And in fact view their 'god' as a collective consciousness based either on skin colour, ethnicity or bloodline etc.; In addition they have redefined their 'Satan' to being those who collectively are not of their skin colour, ethnicity, bloodline, ideological beliefs or gender identity etc.
* Mistaken beliefs - This can occur when one takes wholeheartedly accepts beliefs at face value, in addition there is the issue of trolls who corrupt and pervert various teachings that can be found on the internet. Their reasons for doing so may be varied.
* Occult activity -  A person might be deemed possessed if it is known that they engage in occult activity and they like to boast about it, even though the 'occult activity' might be of a trivial or fantasy role playing game nature. Such judgments are usually made by those with no occult knowledge or those who rely on rumours and misconceptions. However we must take into consideration that people may engage in unknown occult activity which they keep secret.
* Sexual abuse - Children who have been subjected to sexual abuse by the likes of priests, other clergy and those within a religion can end up as atheists or else adopting anti-Abrahamic beliefs.

Indoctrination
The fact is that there are people who will stick to the Lucifer/Moloch program because it gives them benefits such as money and power and flow on effects (paedophilia being one). You will find that the pro Satan human traitors consist of haters of God, sociopaths, psychopaths, those of various sexual perversions, opportunists, moral relativists, solipsists and other garbage.

So we have two wings of indoctrination; the first being the excusing and encouragement of various destructive and suicidal activities by people who can be best described as anti-social. The second being acceptance and indifference by everyone else which implies a ‘moral relativism’. This is basically a case of “it doesn’t worry me so why should I care?” Indeed we only have to take a look at the members of government and social influencers/celebrities (though “social justice warriors” might be a more inclusive term for the varieties involved) with various mental ‘disturbances’ or ‘syndromes’ who quite frankly are stark raving mad. These are the sort of people that if their time was not occupied with “activities” would be screaming at telegraph poles and arguing with seagulls. Any society at any given time may contain these sorts of people.

But it is the continual excusing, encouragement and justification of their behaviour that turns the “may” into a definite “will”. And this will increase; because it has to, much like HIV/AIDS or Ebola the end result is the death of the human host who in their lifetime may have infected countless others. However we are dealing with indoctrination which targets the mental and spiritual facilities of the human being and anything that flows on from it is just a bonus as far as the propagandists are concerned. In relation to ‘spiritual propaganda’ we are dealing with what can be best described as “wetiko”. I think the simplest and best way to describe wetiko is as a psychological germ that causes a psychological illness and is spread by psychological means.

This is pretty much a form of PSYOPS or psychological warfare, much like that seen from World War 1 onwards (and before that in a very minor level). There have been various conflicts with various armies looking to turn and recruit civilians within those war zones to remaining loyal to the state, or serving the invading/occupying army or at least be indifferent to it. You can call it groupthink, hivemind, animal magnetism, folie a plusieurs and probably a few other terms as well. We are not dealing with a war purely over land in which people just ‘happen to be there’. No, we now have a war in which the people are the commodity who ‘just happen to live on land’ (but as we see more and more people jammed into cities and stacked upon each other in the likes of units and apartment blocks we would have to say they are occupying ‘air space’ like insects and birds. And if they are deemed annoying or ‘aesthetically displeasing’, they will be eliminated as such.) It is along the lines of attacking and raiding nations in order to get material gain and slaves.
Enslavement can also take the forms of mental, physical and spiritual, but the propagation of enslavement is instilled by indoctrination which is aimed at both slave and slave holder.

Looking at the physical, mental, spiritual and indoctrination factors it can be seen that an originating cause in one factor will then manifest in another if not all factors. Every one of these factors must be investigated and an honest examination as to whether any of these causes have or still are in effect must be dealt with. If it is something like sexual abuse, the "sweep it under the carpet" routine can not apply. The portrayal of an abused child as a drug user, mentally ill, or even possessed must be extinguished and the perpetrators of such abuse must be punished.

Fraudulent and corrupt people, politically correct psychologists and 'counsellors', 'life coaches', role playing attention seekers, sociopaths, narcissists, cults and various opportunists must be exposed and dealt with or else the issue of "possession" will continue to grow.

While the list I wrote above may be extensive, the issues I mentioned must be addressed and dealt with as soon as possible. But this may not be possible due to the status of the person concerned who is suspected of being possessed. Doubt and confusion over the status of the person concerned will lead to the wasting of time in regards treatment whether the issue is of possession or not. In that case we have to prioritise the investigation of the issues from most likely to least likely. I myself would be looking at getting any physical causes checked out through medical examination then investigating mental issues and seeing if there is a genetic factor in regards to inheriting a mental illness from parents, grandparents, etc.

But the most important thing one has to do before even considering anything of this nature is to have themselves checked out and an honest appraisal of any condition that they themselves may be prone to. Self projection must be avoided absolutely! I cannot emphasise this enough. We must see this objectively and without any emotion, there is absolutely no room for personal bias or superstitions. Unless one is prepared to be cool, calm, collected, impersonal and methodical then one should not engage in anything of this nature. However time may be of an essence here and it may require an amount of cajoling and trickery in order to get the person suspected of being possessed in a situation where they can be medically examined.

If after any examination as well as a systematic elimination of possible causes it is found that the person has a medical condition then it should be treated as a medical condition - not as something that needs to be exorcised. There are churches that do healing services as part of their practice and they should be used to complement any medical treatments that the person concerned is undertaking until THEY decide to cease with a particular treatment whichever one that may be. If the person is not possessed then it is their body - not yours! And you have no right to tell them how they live or die.

Anyway let's assume that you have had the suspect person examined in a multitude of ways but no medical evidence has turned up, but they still display behaviour that is disturbing. It is not a matter of rubbing your hands together and thinking "Yay...I'm going to be fighting demons!"
That is in fact the last thing you would want
