“A demon has infused him!” Such an expression can often be heard from people who believe in everything supernatural. The media talk about people in whom demons, demons, and the souls of the dead inhabit. Is this so, we will not understand, but just in case, we will study the rite of exile.
In the article we will talk about what constitutes the rite of exorcism, who should conduct this rite and what happens during the exile, as well as who is possessed.
Who is considered obsessed, his psycho-emotional state and behavior
Obsession is, in fact, submission to someone, something. According to beliefs, demon possession can be expressed both by instilling the spirit (devil, demon, demon) in a person, and by controlling him at a distance, although such thoughts may have been just an attempt to explain some mental illnesses.
The behavior of the possessed person is characterized by aggression and swearing at the church, a fierce hatred of any attributes of Christianity - be it a cross, an icon, a bible, strange behavior, hallucinations, intolerance of holy water, lack of shame, anxiety during prayers and church rituals.
If you look at these signs with an open mind, then this is similar to a mental personality disorder of a person, and, perhaps, before is it worth a visit to the doctor? But this is a private matter. But if you decide to conduct this dangerous rite, then you should be aware that it is highly discouraged to engage in this rite to an unprepared person who does not have sufficient knowledge and, most importantly, a strong faith in God. It is very important to consider the following.
Such rites are very dangerous not only for the obsessed and his entourage, but also for the exorcist conducting the rite. Therefore, not all priests can carry out the ritual of expelling the demon . This requires permission "from above", that is, the ruling bishop. And the church is very skeptical about such rites, and even completely denies and prohibits such manipulations.
The fact that the ceremony should be conducted by a deeply religious person is not worth talking about. The room in which the ceremony is to be held should be blessed with holy water, while reading bible passages and illuminating with the sign of the cross on the possessed.
It must be added that the ritual should take place in the room of the obsessed, first remove all the small objects of the interior (to exclude movement through the air, yes, yes, it could be!), It is advisable to remove the furniture from the room, except for the bed and the small table on which there is only a candle, a prayer book, holy water and a crucifix. Windows and doors must be closed, but not boarded up. This is the necessary preparation of the room for the ritual.
The ritual itself consists of three acts:
-presence ;
- pretense;
culmination.
Presence: The Beginning of the Ritual
Here the priest must make sure that the person is really obsessed, and not suffering from a mental disorder, the demon will hide his presence in all ways. The priest prays to God and calls for the help of all the saints.
Pretense
Once the demon realizes that he has been exposed, he can try to make the victim behave like a normal person. In the same part, the most important thing happens: the clergyman must find out the name of the demon, their number in the body of the possessed and the way in which the spirit penetrated the body.
Third stage, or climax
The scariest and most responsible: even skeptics begin to believe in a demon. He (the demon) behaves extremely aggressively, does not shout with his own voice, there are visions, the most incredible insults, in general, everything that is inherent in dark forces. The priest tirelessly pray to the Lord for the expulsion of the demon, the most incredible things can happen around the obsessed, it is very important not to get distracted and stop the ritual. At the same stage, the body of the demon possessed is cleansed. It is important to ensure that the crucifixion is in the hands of the victim throughout the rite.
After the stage of cleansing from the demon, the sacrifice must be given a sacred vow, in which he swears that he will no longer let the demon into himself. It is important that a person begins to lead a correct lifestyle, turns to God, tries not to commit sins, because with the re-instillation of a demon, a person’s position can become even worse than the first time. Better yet, have a baptismal rite in the church.
I would like to think that everything described above will never be useful to anyone. Believe, and by faith you will be rewarded, but everything else is not so important ...
