Do you sometimes black out?
Lose time?
Feel you're out of control?
Go into meltdown mode at the slightest provocation?
Have people told you that you have *negative* energy?
Do you prefer the darkness?
Do you like being alone?
Are you a night owl?
Do you feel you're a sacrificial lamb?
Do you hate humanity?
Are you a loner?

You might have what's known as spirit possession.

Yeah well, even if I do hit most the warning signs, I would guess you'd have to believe in spirits and demons first..huh? I know!! Lets see if there are any scientific basis for them. That will settle this once and for all. Sounds like another cultural label to me. But damn it does make life interesting don't ya think? :wink:

(I didn't write this, the spirit demon did and he's my friend, I don't have too many you know.)

i could argue those are personality traits of lawyers... and how many would argue with me? jk

whatever these are symptoms of... they cannot just be purged or cured... so if you make it a fight against demons... you'll likely live in hell for a very long time.

I don't see how this list relates to the article. Some of those are characteristics of MPD (multiple personalities), but it's a fine line between MPD and possession anyway.

I will admit to feeling like I've been possessed a couple of times... but she broke up with me and married someone else.... Never found that kind of experience with anyone else, though... glad I have an almost photographic memory, or in that case would it be considered a pornographic memory??

Look this is ridiculous.


I see the answer now, if you BELIEVE in something in means it requires faith, if you SEE or FEEL something its real.

So you can't argue something you BELIEVE might be real against something that is real, its impossible.

But you also cant argue with something real against someone who believes the opposite.

If you're a believer, don't try use your beliefs to argue with logical thinkers, its pretty insane to think that because you believe something they must see it too.

I've felt possessed before, but personally I'd rather accept my own insanity than pretend its a spirit, I mean how in the world could it be?

When you're dead do you really wanna be floating around haunting and helping and possessing? You really think thats what we become?

All the technology we've got, we can build nanobots, but we can't see a "soul"?

The body weighs the same dead as alive.

No difference.

Arguing? Dead people?

I said I believe in spirit possession. I was going to say why, but I decided against it. I have no interest in arguing.

I don't believe spirits are dead people. I believe they are made of fire and exist all around us. They can see us, but we can't see them.

I see no point in arguing with people who don't agree with me, but I see no reason not to express my thoughts as well.

Peace.

Sorry if I put forth a harsh tone it wasn't intentional.

I'm just more than intrigued how one can know something exists without seeing it? Is it a feeling?

Express all and any thoughts you want, just cause some of us might deconstruct and dismantle anything we read doesn't mean it isn't just as valid!

I believe in infinity, but I'll never touch it.

I personally think every human needs a touch of delusion to make the facts worthwhile.
