Exorcism and Spirits
What are spirits?
Spirits are either formerly incarnated individuals who are dead, or spirits who have never been incarnated in the physical world. Like living people, most spirits are good, some are not.
Negative Spirits, Evil Spirits, Demons
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.
A demon is a very powerful evil spirit that may or may not have ever been human. They are capable of inflicting great emotional damage on unsuspecting and unprotected people. In people who are weak for a variety of reasons, demonic spirits can greatly affect moods and energy levels. Sustained attacks can cause temporary possession resulting in outbursts of abnormal or irrational behavior.
While Jeffrey and Amy have both studied demonology, there is no mention of classifications of demons on this website. This is deliberate. For someone coming to our site, which was created to help, if we were to write of demons specifically we would be hurting the very people we are trying to help. It matters not the classification. The mechanism for removal is the same. What you focus on multiplies, and we advocate people do not study demons or negative spirits, nor should they attempt to communicate with them or find out who they are or what their motivations are. You wouldn't invite a criminal breaking into your house to tea, you would kick them out. The same is true when dealing with spirits who are not incarnated.
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 individuals or groups to even greater anger or violence.
Hauntings
A haunting is a spiritual attack on a building, location, or land.
Possession
A possession takes place when a person has endured extreme and usually long-term spiritual attack. The influence of negative spirits over a person becomes so great that the person's soul retreats almost entirely from the body - and becomes partially disconnected from reality. This leaves a wide-open space for negative spirits to have GREAT influence over the person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Like attracts like. When a person "checks out" of life with depression, anger, and/or substance abuse, they leave a wide-open space for negative spirits to temporarily take over, and even direct the behavior of the individual or group. Most people who come to STARCLEAR thinking they are possessed are not. A truly possessed person would never contact us, as the demon would never allow the person to have the thought. It is more likely the friends or family members of the possessed person would call us for help.
Exorcism
Jeffrey Seelman and Amy Lamb practice Modern Exorcism. Modern Exorcism is simply the removal of negative spirits and negative emotional energies from a person or location. An exorcism is performed in the same way a personal clearing is performed to remove negative emotional energy, the only difference is that in an exorcism a negative spirit (s) or demon(s) are removed as well. In a typical personal clearing there is no negative spirit to remove. A personal clearing would become an exorcism if a spirit is discovered and removed.
An effective exorcist need not be affiliated with an organized religion, in fact, it is preferred that they are not. The majority of church-based exorcists possess no psychic ability, so they will incorrectly deem a person "possessed" and in need of an exorcism based on the person's traumatic past, or substance abuse issues, without truly knowing whether a spirit is in a person or not. Most religiously-affiliated exorcists do not possess the psychic ability to see or sense the spirit.
Because demons and spirits are non-physical, psychic ability to see or sense spirits and to channel energy from the ocean of non-physical energy available to us all from the non-physical universe is an essential quality an exorcist must possess to be able to know whether negative spirits are actually present in or around a person or location, and to remove them.
Spiritual connections to higher spirits who have the spiritual authority to break the spiritual cords that connect a person or location to a negative spirit, and if necessary, to banish the negative spirit to lower planes of existence is critical a necessity to perform a successful exorcism. The power to perform exorcisms lies not with the exorcist, but with the higher spirits he or she works with.
The majority of clients who contact us thinking they are possessed are actually not. Once the client's negative emotional energy is cleared out of their body and spirit, and non-physical connections to negative people and negative spirits are severed, they begin to take back control of their life and function at a higher, happier level once again.
Questions about Exorcism
"I thought exorcists had to be priests or ministers or somehow affiliated with a religious organization? How can you be an exorcist and not be ordained into an organized religion?"
The spirit world is unconcerned with the rules created by man-made religions. Organized religions only have meaning in the physical world, and only have power in the physical world if people let them have meaning and power during the brief amount of time they are in the physical world. The important thing is that the exorcist works only by the grace of higher spirits.
Most organized-religion based exorcists lack the psychic ability to detect an actual possession or spiritual attack, and will incorrectly diagnose a client as being possessed based on questionnaires about mental health, addictions, or past traumas. This would be akin to a doctor diagnosing you with cancer because you say you have a pain in your shoulder. Because we have psychic ability and the grace from higher spirits to assist people, we can detect if, in the present day, you are under spiritual attack, possessed, or simply have an excess amount of negative emotional energy built-up in your system. Sometimes clients who come to see us claiming possession or possible possession, end up not being possessed, and discover that what is really going on is a physical or mental problem. We refer such clients to medical doctors and mental health professionals who can help.
Sometimes, the client is physically and mentally healthy, and just needs to have negative emotional energies removed from their system. With the authority of higher spirits, we remove these negative energies so that the client can function in tip-top shape once again.
We have our clients' best interests at heart, and will use our psychic abilities to get our clients the proper help they need.
"Is Amy Lamb an exorcist?"
Because of her pre-birth experiences, and her success in ending life-long bouts with spiritual attack, Amy will eventually take over as the exorcist for STARCLEAR, once Jeffrey is no longer able to do so. She has performed exorcisms, but does not call herself an exorcist (yet).
"Do you ever get attacked by evil spirits?"
Yes. We are the enemy of evil spirits, because we figuratively "shine a bright light" on who and what they are, and the fact that they have no special powers over people in the physical world, and because we teach people how to defend themselves against the effects of negative spirits. We are the enemy of negative spirits because we have the ability to detect their presence, and they cannot hide from us. We have the ability to remove negative spirits from people and locations, and if necessary, with the help and authority of our very good and very powerful spirit guides, to banish them to lower planes of existence.
"Do you ever feel afraid of evil spirits?"
No. An exorcist would be a pretty poor exorcist if they let evil spirits scare them. No matter how strong an evil spirit is, we have the talent with energy work and the connections to higher spirits needed to remove it.
