Many others have commented on the mainstream attacks on prayer following this tragedy, but I'll echo them here: prayer matters, and if it didn't, no one would bother trying to undermine it. Pray for your children. Spiritual wounds require spiritual healing, and prayer is the IV fluids of spiritual hospitals. Pray.
Prayer, provided it is genuine, i# what the Enemy is bothered by the most. That is ten times as true for the "When two or three join in prayer..." kind.
Alice Bailey, one of the original Luciferians, said in 1957 that 2025 would herald the “externalization of the hierarchy,” otherwise known as the “revelation of the method.” It certainly seems that the demons are showing their sharpened claws for all to see.
It's their vanity. They can't control it, any more than they can control their other appetites. They want the "credit" for all of this carnage, and to be worshipped in the open, like in the olden days.
The movie "Nefarious" has been described by several exorcists including Chad Ripperger as being the most accurate depiction of the diabolical personality. Usually, the victim has done something to open the door, but not always. In total possession, the victim no longer has free will.
I have never heard of the film, but the synopsis reminds me a bit of Exorcist III. In any case, there seem to be different kinds of demons that specialize in different methods. I suspect some wounds are also very hard to see, even for the wounded hosts themselves. I also think they often target children and other unwise, underdeveloped minds because they often don't fully understand what they're agreeing to, or at least the implications of it. Kind of like being faced with one of those interminable online EULAs; you just click "I agree" because you want the goods, and don't really care what complex thing you're agreeing to.
I love the Bible telling of the man possessed of a legion of demons, though. All those demons with their demonic strength, could not prevent his answering Jesus’ call. ❤️ Of course they can’t.
What strikes me about this tale and the demoniac in the Capernaum temple is that the demons always recognize Christ right away. It doesn't matter what their host's religious background is (e.g. the man possessed by Legion was almost certainly a pagan Hellenist). They see him and say, "Hey, I remember you! What are *you* doing *here*? What do you want from me?"
They see through to his true identity, and remember him before the Fall. It's as if they're saying, "What gives? I thought the war was over, and you let us have this place to ourselves?"
True, but I guess it makes sense that spiritual beings can see things of the spirit world, and especially The Spirit who created them. They also said, “Have you come to torture us before the appointed time?”, which is interesting. The whole concept of time is mind-bending. For instance, when we’re the fallen angels and Satan cast down to earth? In Job, Satan appears to have an audience with God still. And in the Old Testament there are some angels who do seemingly demonic duties for God. Are they fallen angels? Such as the one who says that he’ll put a lying spirit in the king’s prophets’ mouths. Or the one who tormented King Saul (although he could have been earthbound).
Scripture also says, in Matthew 25 that people who don’t follow God will be consigned to hell which was “prepared for the devil and his angels”. So many mysteries. Careful and prayerful study of scriptures will reveal much.
And the townspeople asked Him to leave Gerasenes because the demons took the herd of pigs over the cliff. As if to say, "Leave the demons in the man! Don't hurt our pigs."
Yes and they asked Him nicely, because they were afraid. People become secure in their insecurities, and are afraid of God changing things. They don’t want to see the truth about where they are headed.
May he find the peace, acceptance, and authenticity that he sought and failed to find among us and may we stop turning young men into monsters. It is a blessed mercy that death dissolves all contracts and our soul is not really ours to sell.
I appreciate it, Jon. But, having read a bit of his writings, I'm not so sure that Westman was looking for such things. I think rather he was an active participant in his orc-ification, and that what he has looking for was war, impunity and social power, which is the promise of the transhuman path he was on. A creature that delights in these things echolocated him in the darkness, nudging him along but never choosing for him. He had a choice in the matter, all the way up until he pulled the trigger.
That said, I'm not equipped to judge him in his current situation. That much is true.
“Like Dracula at your doorstep, you still must ultimately agree to let it in.”
Westman was indeed wounded, horrifically; physically, mentally and emotionally, he was intentionally wounded. Why did he let Dracula (or the other “D” name) in? His family and friends and “experts” taught him that his only value could be realized if he sought an utterly unobtainable identity. He was told over and over and over again that his God-given identity was a tragic, abhorrent mistake, and it must be corrected.
He was told over and over and over again that he was a mistake, and therefore his only value would be realized if he achieved the unachievable she. And try as he may, he kept failing.
Faced with his repeated failure he acted out in rage. And innocents suffered.
I have to believe there is a special level of Hell reserved for those who, by direct and intentional action, create these Westmans.
On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”
Sick to death of everything trans and all the excuses made for these lunatics. We need to stop pretending their delusions are real and get them help. Our society is to blame for allowing the perversion of everything. Of course I blame liberals mainly - progress (progressivism) is not always a good thing despite what they will tell you. Let's start with bringing God back and pushing the idea of family with a mother and a father. That would be a good start!
I agree with you. I make no excuses for Westman, his parents, his "doctors", or anyone else involved in his catastrophic romp through life. Demons of this kind don't pick targets at random. They are slothful cretins, who hunt for candidates who are already most of the way there and just need a little push The liberal progs are the Devil's accomplices, who assist with the setup and the coverup afterwards.
Amen. My diocese has returned to saying the St. Michael prayer at the end of mass. It's a helpful reminder of the enemy's intention.
Roughly 15 years ago, I read an article in Famous Secular Magazine about suicides off the Golden Gate Bridge. A survivor was interviewed who revealed that the thought of killing himself consumed his life for weeks or months. Interestingly, that obsession left him the very instant his feet left the bridge. Once committed to the almost always fatal plunge, his tormentor left to pursue another opportunity.
The post from the guy, and yours, woke up some info that I had buried on the back of my mind
Some years ago, I was looking at all that mkultra stuff; it appeared that one common glue was that most of the mkultra-affiliated scientists were doing their job under the umbrella of “research on schizophrenia”. One will find this popping up.
Because those fellas were in duplicitous mode (harming unwitting innocents while titling their papers “reseacrh on schiz.”), it’s was hard for me to attach due credit and discern their true interest in the matter.
I sometimes ponder if those guys were studying the effects on what you explain, on people, or some variant, or none at all.
Based on a podcast I listened to earlier today featuring Austin Picard, what he has found through his investigation, is that this guy's mother filed for a legal gender reassignment when the guy was 17. The mother worked for the Catholic school, but maybe not much of a catholic if she was willing to accept and affirm the fact that her son had been "born in the wrong body". The father worked for a company affiliated with the military/intelligence industrial complex for many years, like so many of the parents of these "lone wolf" school mass murderers seem to be. He may have been a victim of mind control. Like so many of these alleged mass shooters of the past 20 years or so.
Demonic possession *is* a form of mind control, and far more direct than the MiC's 5GW methods. Untangling one from the other isn't always easy. But sometimes, the answer is staring us right in the face.
"...as holonic creatures, our bodies are made of bodies, congregations of living material which we can exert great influence over via our human minds..."
"Westman, for all his wounds and sins, actually noticed this invasion process: this alien mind setting up shop, and gradually gaining control over the holonic conversation."
This "holonic" model makes a great deal of sense.
"Walk in faith." And this is sound advice. In my experience, faith and despair cannot occupy the same habitation.
The victim always has free will, but has chosen, for whatever reason, to abandon it. Usually it's through feelings and emotions, which the entity manipulates. It's like the mental/spiritual equivalent of taking drugs, and sometimes actual drugs are involved as well. Many people would rather have an evil sense of purpose than no purpose at all, as they cannot deal with such emptiness.
Not to me. It’s mild humor, certainly not objectionable, and has a point- our posts are searched out by keywords. As he aptly said, demons don’t truly laugh. Communists and other deeply deluded people don’t really laugh either. So beware of taking yourself too seriously.

Yes. I get the feeling it hurts their ears.
Except it doesn’t stop bullets, Marky Mark!

This song said the same thing, the author transcribed the messages he received from daemons into lyrical format: https://x.com/QuantumAlteredX/status/1956505428755705952

Agreements with Old Scratch tend to be a bit more binding then the EULAs.

One of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen.
Recite Psalm 23. Often.

This is a very good piece Mark. Thank you for it.

Jesus Saves! Not just redemption but the healing valve if salvation. It is what is needed to cover those wounds of the soul.
Sorry. Salve.
Maybe a valve, too. An opening of the floodgates, so to speak, like Ezekiel 47.
Yes, yes yes!
On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”

Reminds me of Legion, cast into the pigs upon request.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but those are classic signs of schizophrenia.
“Schizophrenia”, the word, exists,
To be measured in a petri dish,
By fictional future scientists,
Who are always yet to be.
Whose face enthralled poor Narcissus?
“None but his own!” they will insist.
That’s partly true, but with a twist,
Which Echoes in eternity.
Tiresias, the blinded troon,
With Nemesis, the demoness,
Conspired on a Hunter’s Moon,
To engineer a prophecy.
And Legion in the Gerascene,
When asked its name, under duress,
Spat pronouns schizophrenically:
“I’m We, Ourselves, and Us.”

Good essay but awkward attempts at humor like “scrubbed from Teh Intarwebz” just detracts from your credibility.
