Are there entities that attack and possess us? I would say yes, and no. Like the vampire, nothing external can possess us unless we grant permission, but that permission at root is nothing but a “lack” or “void” within us. In most cases, however, I believe we are “possessed” by aspects of ourselves.
On our journey, we encounter events, concepts or emotions that we are unable to deal with at that moment, so we put them aside. This is natural, part of our emotional and psychological defence system, but while the idea is that we process these things when we are better equipped, this all too often never occurs. The energy inherent in these things becomes attached to aspects of ourselves that are likewise problematic (or which identify with the energy), and we then repress the fragment. Additionally, society pinpoints aspects of ourselves that it deems undesirable, and pressurises and brainwashes us into repressing or sublimating them. These repressed or altered fragments are then available to accrue the energies of fear, disinformation, and propaganda that are our staple diet if we consume mainstream media output. These isolated pieces of ourselves do truly take on a mind of their own, and they often control us at an unconscious level, leading us to say things like “I don’t know what came over me”, or “that person has a demon in them”. While these hidden aspects may feel like an external entity to us, they are merely distortions of parts of ourselves.
The most common type of “possession” by an “external” entity is where our thoughts, emotions, memories and perceptions of another person are attached to a fragment of ourselves and allowed to assert autonomous control of that fragment as a simulacrum of an actual person. This kind of possession is really another expression of self-possession, and often concerns influential people in our lives with whom we have unresolved issues, commonly a parent. This type of possession is often very difficult for the person concerned to discern, and we usually do ourselves no favours bringing the condition to the person’s attention.
There are two types of external possession, though these also often manifest more as psychic attacks, rather than actual possession. Some people are very psychically adept and agile. They have mastered the ability to energetically explore their environment, however this often leads to unwanted insertion into another’s psyche. Here we are concerned with the energy of intent (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?55206-Energy-of-Intent&p=629106#post629106): what is the purpose of the incursion? Are we dealing with neutral curiosity only, or malign intent? Love will most often not enter another’s psyche without consent or reason, so we need not deal with that here. One who enters another’s psyche with malign intent may take the appearance of a demon, and in fact this is close to the truth, because the part of the “demon” is driven by the needs of a self-repressed fragment of the “possessor” which has been demonised through the accretion of energies that society has taught us to regard as “evil”, or “bad”, or “dirty”. The possessing fragment is usually “sent out” consciously – with malign intent – but it is useful to remember that this type of psychic attack or “possession” is a symptom of the “possessor’s” pain.
Lastly, there does exist the phenomenon of possession by a discarnate energy. These energies may be anything from consciousness (or even a thought form) lost in transition, to one case I know of where a man was possessed by a fragment of the spirit of a cave bear (the fragment either held genetically from an ancestor, or from a previous incarnation). Hypnotic regression revealed that the possessed man had a memory of killing a cave bear with the conscious intent of taking the admirable qualities of the bear into himself. My feeling is that most of these entities lack any kind of conscious direction, they are merely attracted by a void within us, and attach or insinuate themselves wherever possible. This is simply an expression of energetic principles, and these types of possession, though annoying, may not always have overly adverse effects on the individual. We may also be externally possessed by thought forms generated by society (or elements within it), that are inserted or insinuated through propaganda, dogma, mind control, personality breakdown and reconstruction, hypnosis, technology, etc. There does exist (rarely) the possession by a strong and conscious discarnate energy operating with malign intent, and this possession may be “second hand” through another possessed individual. These conscious, malign entities in fact may seek out psychically gifted individuals as vehicles, or the gifted individual’s self-possessed fragment may be the “demon” in question, so there is some cross-over here between the different kinds of possession. Malign, conscious entities ensure their survival within an individual by first taking over the egoic functions, so possessed individuals often present as aggressive (and aggressively defensive), arrogant, and omniscient. These entities expend great amounts of the energy of their chosen vehicle establishing the primacy of the ego over the heart (or higher consciousness). Why is this? – because love is the only thing they fear.
Love is a no fail method for dealing with this type of attack. Using love to repel malign intent reduces the possibility of harm coming to the would-be attacker, but be warned: using psychic energy with malign intent toward another individual will always have a negative effect on the attacker, no matter how much they blind themselves to this simple energetic truth. If we seek to inflict harm on the vehicle of the psychic attack, there will be some adverse payback for us, a further expression of energetic principles. To become immune to psychic attack and possession we must have no “holes” or “voids” within us – we must give no “permission”. Each void is a whirlpool of fear that accrues “negative” energy. Each void is a part of us that we have excluded from love. Our permanent immunity comes with internal unity.
As we address the hurts and denials of life, we experience the rising of repressed aspect after repressed aspect, and some of them seem huge, powerful and frightening. Imagine how you would feel if as an infant you had been locked in a cupboard, kept in the dark, and fed on nothing but the bugs and vermin that managed to find their way into your prison, all the while hearing the party going on outside? Deep and long buried fragments can accrue substantial energy, and since we have already seen that the energy available to repressed fragments is the dark, bad, socially unacceptable stuff, it is not surprising these parts of ourselves are strong, angry and frightening. As repressed fragments arise, don’t fear; just centre yourself in the heart. Send love to the aspect, surround it with loving acceptance, welcome it home, love it unconditionally – warts and all. Energy has two channels down which it may flow when confronted with pure love – transformation (transmutation) and reintegration into either the personal or collective consciousness, or flight. It really is that simple, but the difficulty comes with our own belief in love. If we are not whole individuals, but individuals with “holes”, then we will remain liable to attack or possession. If we do not truly believe in the power of love, then our efforts to repel psychic attack or possession will be directed by the ego, and as such, unsuccessful. If we get angry at psychic attack, we could consider that anger is nothing but fear mediated by ego-consciousness. Stand in love, and all will be well.
Never forget that psychic attack is symptomatic of pain within the attacker. Always meet attack with love, and give the energy the opportunity to transform. If the energy chooses retreat, it returns to source, and unfortunately there is no way that the attacker can prevent this malign energy from manifesting in their own life as misfortune or ill-health. Feel no guilt over this, unfortunate as it is, for the attacker has their own journey for which they alone are responsible.
Stand in love – all is well.
