Interview with an Exorcist

[Lexy]

taken from article: http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/abbott/110207


1) When were you ordained, and when were you assigned the role of exorcist for the Diocese of [redacted]?

"I was ordained a priest on May 9, 1979 and have served at various times as associate pastor, pastor, director of the Hispanic Apostolate, vicar for deacons, director of the Office of Divine Worship, director of communications, and now 'stable' exorcist (as opposed to exorcist 'ad actum,' which means the exorcist receives permission to do an exorcism on a case-by-case basis.) I was made exorcist 'ad actum' on March 8, 2010 and on November 3, 2010 given the office in stability."

2) Have you witnessed any preternatural phenomena, such as objects moving or floating in an unexplainable fashion?

"Nothing of the poltergeist-type phenomenon, but many, many examples of other preternatural phenomenon, from mysterious scratches, to cold spots, to the demons having occult knowledge, superhuman strength, knowledge of foreign languages, and so on. Also, of course, in most instances the aversion to the sacred. One very frightening phenomenon is the physical change in the appearance of the possessed person, which can go from being a kind of hardening of the person's features, to that person actually appearing like an animal."

3) How do you think Catholics should live their faith?

"Obviously, one should frequent the sacraments — especially Confession and Communion — pray every day, and cultivate a loving and fruitful relationship with Our Lord, Our Lady and the saints. In addition, one should do a regular (daily) examination of conscience, with prayers that the Holy Spirit might enlighten us to any secret sins.

"It goes without saying that Catholics should avoid any contact with the occult, Ouija boards, magic crystals, New Age practitioners, anything having to do with Wicca, witchcraft, or even the Goth movement. Also, we need to be conscious of Christ's command to forgive others. We need to forgive those who harm us and practice charity to those who have hurt us. We have to be very, very careful not to nurse grudges or slights, or hold on to anger or refuse to forgive others for their crimes against us. All this is what we should be praying for daily."

Why are these Catholic demons such picky guests? You never seem to hear of any of them possessing, oh lets say... a Buddhist for example. 

[Killa Rican]

I'm not religious by any means, but i was practically possessed for a few months <_<. Not by a "Demon" though.

what exactly do you mean? what were you possessed by?

[Killa Rican]

Not a spirit. But a living Non-Human Female Entity that resides in the Astral Realm. It's a long story, I wasnt really Possessed as hollywood makes it out to be, but I was heavily manipulated and influenced by her for 6 months of my life. So Semi-Possession kinda. lol

So as not to scare our newest members... you'll probably want to explain a bit more about what happened. 

[Killa Rican]

Generally, It's too much to cover. Dont wanna hijack the thread, I can write a whole book on it really. LOL

But as a result of it my life is forever changed for better and worse.

Please tell us more...it will be interview with the possessed instead.

i'm so curious. Perhaps, you should write a book on it.. 

[Killa Rican]

LOL ok. Well I'm just going to give the short version since I'm not good with 'generals'. If there's anything specific you want to ask you can ask it. I'm better with that.

What possession actually feels like is hard to describe since it happened overtime, rather then so suddenly. I would say It's Like having 2 minds in 1 brain. And One is more Dominant and Indepandant and thinks on it's own. Has It's Own Personality and Voice To it. However 'you' would feel 'off'. You wouldn't feel the same ever, as its happening. Your Energy/Aura is being intruded. You will constantly feel a weight down on you. As If something else is inhabiting your body. It's Practically Impossible to ground yourself... As I have tried.

 But most of the time I been in Denial about it Until a Clairvoyant Person spotted her out and came to help me. I met her in a really vivid intense 'lucid dream.' Where she told me she finally found me and would never leave my side. From that point when i woke up I didn't realize i was attached because i just brushed it off for a "Dream."

So I kinda went on almost 2 months, With a series of events and weird happenings since then until a Clairvoyant Person said I had a Woman Attached to me, And that's when everything started to make sense. From that reading all the dots connected and everything has been happening to me has finally made sense. None Of it was My Imagination. None of it was me going crazy as i thought i was. I sensed the difference, I know there was a difference, But I didn't 'believe' in that stuff so I tryed to brush it off, or rationally explain it.

After The Reading of course i Chose to keep her, because I felt I was Falling In Love with her, but there was certain consequences to that. Even if she did help me.

I can say the entire time I had her fused with me, My Psychic abilities improved 200%. When she was later removed of course. I lost all that, And it screwed up my chakras. Really Nasty Chakra blockage...

[Lexy]

but that is not really possession...wouldn't that just be attachment?  I mean she didn't takover your body & start talking & acting like herself right?

how did you remove her? does she ever come back?

[Killa Rican]

 IMO Attachment is a form of possession, which is why i said 'semi-possession' because it all depends on the amount of control you have over your mind, balancing your thoughts & senses from the intruding mind. Which At times she did actually have more control then I had.

So It was attachment(Semi-Possession) at first, and heavy possession later on because she really started to get nasty, especially towards my girlfriend. Then As she was getting removed from me, I lost Consciousness but People Said  All I was doing Was Cursing And Getting Violent. I know i would never say those horrible things to the people close to me. But I know SHE did, and I had no choice in the matter..

A Practitioner did an unbinding ritual, and after she was gone i got Really emotional, because i couldn't feel her any longer. And yes She comes back to visit me once in a while but due to the magick involved it isn't as powerful or intense as it used to be in the past.
But to me she was a wonderful companion and guide without all the nastiness and disrespect involved treating others. lol

super interesting story haha! do you know why she attached herself to you in the first place?

I believe it's called overshadowing, or oppression.
Did you have to get it removed, or did you do it yourself?

[Killa Rican]

Ahhh I see  

No i couldnt do it myself, because I really didnt want her 100% to leave at the time.

My Girlfriends Godfather Who's a High Ranking Santeria Priest(No Catholics! ) in that religion 'saw' her too and had to remove her from me.

super interesting story haha! do you know why she attached herself to you in the first place?

She was infactuated by me. Mediums say it was love at first sight. Which is fine and dandy  until she started attacking my gf, thats where it crossed the line.

The Entity was Non-Human, so i often do give her the benefit of the doubt on 'ignorance' but I dont really consider her demonic or negative as most others probably would have.

[CFTraveler]

Santeria Priest(No Catholics! ) in that religion

I know Santeria.  Although my mom was not a 'priestess', she and her sister dabbled in it, and my great-grandmother too.  I grew up in it, so to speak.

[Carol123]

I'm new here...hello everyone and blessed be!
I read with gusto the one who said she was possessed with an unhuman spirit.  I too am possessed by
a human spirit who will not leave.  This person is alive and practices sorcery.  This too is a long, long
story and I've been contemplating writing a book.  This person continues to change my facial features
every day.  My youngest daughter (19) has never seen what I truly look like.  My eldest daughter (25)
has developed ad/hd because she knew me before I became possessed. She was 6 years old when she
last seen me.  My eyes reflect extreme anger.  My facial features change.  I can put on 10 lbs in one day.
My fingernails and toe nails have deep ridges in them and are yellowish.  My hair color changes in a blink.
I'm a blonde and the person possessing me is dark haired/gray now.  My eyesight (i wear glasses) changes
from being able to see perfectly (which is nice) to worse than what I'm used to with my glasses.  This
sometimes changes while I'm driving.
To make a long story short, I have been communicating with my deceased relatives since I was 2 years old. I am 54 now.  Apparently I forgot I was communicating with them and they called out to this living human
for help with something.  This person then appears in my bedroom when I was 19 years old.  I knew who
he was and I told him to leave.  He scared me silly and then would continue to appear in my room.  Once he hovered over me naked and said he knew what I wanted.
He also said if I didn't "make love to him" he would never talk to me again.  But he lied. Him and I have never physically met and I wouldn't want to anyhow. I need help in making him leave and stay away from me.

[Lexy]

do you still communicate with the dead?

[Carol123]

yes I still communicate with my deceased relatives

I think you should seek up medical professional help, because this sounds like a mental problem.

You know you should seek medical help when...

...your physical life mirrors that of a customizable character on The Sims.
