Exorcism and Spirits
What are spirits?
Spirits are either formerly incarnated spirits who are dead, or spirits who have never been incarnated in the physical world. Most spirits are good, some are not. A formerly incarnated spirit will not necessarily have ever been human, in fact, there are spirits who have been incarnated extra-terrestrially.
About Negative (or Evil) Spirits
Just as there are negative people in the physical world, there are negative spirits. There are also demonic spirits who may or may not have ever been incarnated.
A negative person who was doing negative things during their lifetime may still be trying to accomplish their evil goals and desires after death. While most people cannot see negative spirits, they are there, and they can harm us emotionally.
The goal of a negative spirit is to influence us for the worst on an emotional level, and very often they succeed.
Spiritual Attack
Negative spirits are attracted to, and feed on, negative emotional energies generated by people, or groups of people. Evil spirits can, and do, attack individuals, families, groups, gatherings, gangs, cults, businesses, and homes.
All negative spirits generate negative emotional energies - this is deliberate and is meant to affect us. Negative people or negative groups generate the negative emotional energies that evil spirits are attracted to. Evil spirits will come physically close to these people, thinking terrible thoughts and feeling their sad and angry feelings, as is their nature.
The effect upon the person or group of people is that their own negative feelings are amplified, and they will have thoughts of causing even greater destruction to themselves or those around them. In this way, evil spirits can propel people or groups to even greater anger or violence.
Hauntings
A haunting is simply a spiritual attack on a building.
Possession
A possession is an extremely rare scenario where a person has endured extreme and usually long-term spiritual attack. The influence of negative spirits over a person becomes so great that the spirit retreats almost entirely from the body - and becomes partially disconnected from the Higher Self, since it is no longer tolerable for the spirit of the person to be in the physical world. This leave a wide-open space for negative spirits to have GREAT influence over the person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Depressed people and people who abuse substances attract negative spirits because they are always in the same mood. Like attracts like. When a person "checks out" of life with depression and/or substance abuse, they leave a wide-open space for negative spirits to temporarily take over.
