There is no disobsession
without moral renewal
The spiritist therapy
invites the sick to face
their responsibility,
calling for an honest
self-analysis, so that
it can ultimately
eliminate their
incursions in the abyss
of moral deviations
Spiritism explains that
the cause of evil in
madness comes from
inside and we must seek
to restore the body to
normal state. In
obsession, the cause of
evil is outside, and we
must free the patient
from an invisible enemy
opposing him, not
medicine, but a moral
force superior to his.
"Experience shows that
in similar cases, the
exorcism did not produce
satisfactory results
anymore rather worsened
the situation instead of
improving it. Only
Spiritism, by indicating
the real cause of evil,
can provide the means to
combat it." (1) Of
course disregarding the
exorcism of harmless
“apometria” techniques
and of other fantasised
disobsession practices
that occur in Spiritist
Centres that are
tragically
administered.
Let us learn from the
good doers that we must
morally educate the
obsessing Spirit, in
some way, offering
intelligent advice, you
can help them better
themselves and convince
them to turn down
spontaneously the
torment they cause on
their victim, and then
they free themselves.
However, we cannot
forget that obsessing
entities are skilful and
intelligent, perfect
strategists who plan
each step and monitor
the prey for some time,
noting their tendencies,
their relationships, and
their ideals. They
identify their victim
vulnerabilities (often
linked to sexual
misconduct) and exploit
them perseveringly.
For the psychiatric
school of thought,
obsession is a thought,
or impulse, persistent
or recurrent, unwanted
and distressing, and
that comes to mind
unintentionally, despite
attempts to ignore it or
delete it. Psychiatrists
who do not acknowledge
anything outside matter
cannot understand the
hidden cause, but when
the science academy
leaves the materialistic
routine, it will
recognize in the action
of the invisible world
around us and in which
we live, a force which
reacts on physical
things, as well as on
moral things. This will
open a new path to
progress and the key to
a multitude of poorly
understood phenomena of
human psyche.
Obsession shows several
characters, from a
simple moral influence
to the complete
disruption of the body
Under the spiritist
focus, obsession is a
persistent action that a
bad spirit has on an
individual. It presents
very different
characters, ranging from
a simple moral influence
without sensitive
external signs to the
complete disruption of
the body and mental
faculties. As for the
obsessive subjugation
(2), it represents a
physical constraint
always exercised by
vengeful spirits and can
lead up to the
degradation of free
will. It is limited,
often the mere
uncomfortable
impressions, but that
often can result in
disordered psychomotor
movements, inconsistent
attitudes, seizures,
inappropriate or
detrimental words, which
the targeted person is
aware of how ridiculous,
but which cannot defend
themselves. "This state
differs essentially from
the pathological
madness, which is
wrongly confused with,
because there is no
physical original and
because the causes are
different, the means to
its cure must be
different. Applying the
ordinary procedure of
showers and body
treatments, what is
often diagnosed real
madness, there is only a
moral issue." (3) The
psycho spiritual
perturbation should be
eliminated from the Orb
the moment in which the
genuine example of love
is tried and spread in
all directions, as Jesus
embodied and lived by
the bitterness of death,
and continuing since the
apostolic times to the
current days.
Spiritism, unmasking the
interference of the
hardened evil spirits in
our lives, cast light on
issues still disregarded
by materialistic science
as psychopathological
causes. And, obviously,
not discarding the
possibility of
psychosomatic disorder,
the Spiritist Doctrine
reveals other sources of
human misery, maintained
by the fragility of
moral beings.
The
treatment for varying
degrees of obsession is
long and the cure
depends on the patient
We recognize that the
use of antidepressant
drugs establish chemical
harmony in the brain,
improving the patient's
mood, however, simply
acting in the effect
does not cure the
obsession in its central
causes, they only
restore the transit of
brain cells messages,
correcting the neuro-chemical
function of the CNS
(central nervous
system). Socrates has
said "if the doctors are
unsuccessful, it’s
because they treating
most of the diseases
dealing only with the
body and not treating
the soul. Well if the
whole does not feel in
good condition, it is
impossible that part of
it feels well." (4)
If when facing our
momentary failures we
usually forget to be
patient and in balance,
the prayer and self
vigilance, then it is
urgent to establish a
time for introspection,
in a frame of mind so
that we do in ourselves
the imperious
corrections. In these
daily situations we
usually chose the idea
of obsession,
possession, oppression,
as "victims" (5) of
haunting entities.
However the question is
not only the spiritual
influence that enemies
often implant in our
psychological frequency,
but this mainly concerns
our own selves.
The treatment for the
varying degrees of
obsession is long, very
delicate and complex.
The happy result depends
on the spiritual renewal
of the patient, when he/
she awakens to the
seriousness of the
situation in which he /
she is afflicted.
Simultaneously, the
fraternal solidarity,
involving patients in
both compassion and
prayers, information and
incentives for a healthy
future, are able to
break the circle of
destructive energy,
opening up space for the
beneficial action, an
exchange for hope and
liberation.
In
any case of obsession
patients hold the most
important part of
treatment
Often sought by obsessed
Christ penetrated the
psychological causes of
their concern and, using
His moral authority,
both released obsessing
spirits and obsessed
people, allowing them to
wake up to an encouraged
life towards recovery
and peace of their own
conscience. However, it
is very important to
remember that Jesus did
not free the obsessed
without enforce them the
need for inner renewal
or expelled unconscious
pursuing spirits without
giving them God’s
directions.
In any case of obsession
patients hold the most
important part of the
treatment. His/her
determination to be
morally unbalanced makes
it difficult to remove
barriers in the therapy
for the betterment. The
spiritist therapy is a
call to the sick to
accept their
responsibility,
suggesting them to an
honest self-analysis, so
that it can ultimately
eliminate their
incursions in the abyss
of moral deviations.
Let us try; therefore,
by constant surveillance
and praying to be free
from the whip of
obsessions, in the firm
purpose of amendment of
negative habits and
attitudes, entering
within the noble values
of life for effective
change in behaviour.

subjugation in general
is individual, but when
a phalanx of evil
spirits is affecting on
a group of people, it
can have an epidemic
character. It was a
phenomenon of this kind
that occurred at the
time of Christ, only a
powerful moral
superiority could tame
these evil beings, then
appointed as demons and
restore calm to their
victims. [An similar
