There could be beings other than a being referred to as Satan that are removed from people.

Jdee. Read "Remarkable Healings" 1997 by Dr.S Modi M.D. It's a Hamptons Roads book, the same publishers that Moen uses. It's not a Christian book, more a new age book. Dr.Modi, a medical practitioner who specializes in psychiatry, uses hypnosis in her private practice to retrieve earthbound souls trapped in the patient, and also releasement into the light of demonic entities.

According to Dr.Modi these earthbounds and demonics, plus other types of spirits, were causing many physical and mental illnesses in her patients, reflecting back onto their families and friends. She also retrieved soul fragments that were lost to the patients during traumas in their childhood and later adult life. She says that the demonics capture many of these soul fragments and use them as a cord-link back to their original soul-owner. They use this link to create more problems for that person.

Dr.Modi also engages in past-life regression therapy as she finds it goes hand in hand with her retrieval work. This is a groundbreaking book that surpasses any book on retrieval work anywhere and by anyone. I was totally blown away by the information in this book. All the information in this book is taken from her patients case files. The book is 631 pages long. Here's a snippet from the end.

  "Over the years, I worked with different patients coming from different cultures, religious beliefs, and educational backgrounds. Under hypnosis, amazingly, most of them gave a similar description of the universe, its structure, and the beings who inhabit it.

  My patients, under hypnosis, say that there is a huge light. In this light resides a supreme being they call "God." They describe this supreme being as a mountain of light, a pyramid of light or an ocean of light and love. They call him "the one," "the all," "the whole," "the God," "all there is," etc.

  Next to this supreme being there are other large souls whom they call Godheads, masters, or oversouls. They recognize these beings as religious figures in different religions around the world. Next to them are angels and other beings of the light. Patients say that from God descend the Godheads, also called masters or oversouls. and from them, humans and all other souls descend. The Godheads, angels, and beings of other worlds also reside all around God.

My patients describe seeing many silver cords coming out of God and going to humans and all other beings throughout the creation through the Godheads. Patients describe God as a powerhouse to whom all living beings in the whole creation are connected with the silver cords.

  Hypnotized patients report that between lives, we humans also reside in the light, where we go through some type of learning and developmental process. In this we seem to be partially aware of who we are and what we are doing. We go through the cycle of birth, life, death, and back to the light(heaven)again and again to learn lessons and grow spiritually. toward our final aim to go back and reunite with the supreme being, God.

  Many of the patients, under hypnosis, also recall their creation and what happened in the light after they were created. They say there was a conflict and a being of the light left and took many light beings with it. According to my patients, these beings are really Satan and his demons, who are working on the earth opposite the purposes of the light. They thwart the light. To mu surprise, even demons recall and give similar information after their transformation into the light.

  Amazingly, my patients, regardless of whether they are religious, agnostic, or atheist, have repeatedly given similar accounts of the reality of the spiritual world as they see and remember it under hypnosis. I wondered if they recalling and describing the truth, or were they all suffering from the same delusion." ...'Remarkable Healings" by Dr.Modi.

What also blew me away was when the demons were going through the transformation to the light, many describe all the methods they use on us humans, and this is vast. They also say that they have many humans, physical and earthbound, in their employ.

They also explain the reason why this powerful light being left the light, took a lot of angels with him, tricked a lot into joining him with false promises of power, etc. When the demons reported seeing the retrieval angels that came for them, they recognized some of the angels and even had names for these angelic helpers.

I'm weary of trusting information that comes from hypnotism partly because it leads to contrary results.

For example, Michael Newton's findings are quite different that Modi's findings.

People who are hypnotized are open to the hypnotist's suggestions. This being the case it is possible that a hypnotized person is telepathically influenced by the belief's of the person who does the hypnotizing, regardless of the nature of their own beliefs. Perhaps this explains why Newton consistently gets one kind of result while Modi gets another.

There is a person who used to visit this forum and he was hypnotized by Newton. He brought his session to a halt when he found that his supposed spirit counsel was made up of his current physical family members.

It has been found that hypnosis can lead to false memories.

Hi Albert

I actually agree with you on this.

This is kind of a tangent, but I think before we can understand some of this stuff, we first need to understand how the mind works, and that is indeed a work in progress!

Some of this has to do with what ideas we accept as being underlying truths.

Before Newton came up with the idea of gravity, apples still fell to the earth. Did people ask WHY they fell instead of floating? I don't know. But gravity did not exist before Newton invented it. That is because gravity is an idea that explains something. True, apples fell down before Newton, but gravity did not exist before Newton.

I think you hae to understand what I just wrote before you can have a serious discussion about this other stuff. This tells you something important about how the mind works.

The reason it came into my head was because the film 'Exorcism of Emily Rose' was on last night, I didnt watch it though.

If its not Satan then why can these exorcisms be carried out using crucifixes and the names of Jesus and Mary? As Satan is supposed to fear this greatly.

Supposedly Emily Rose was possessed by Lucifer, Judas Iscariot, Nero, Cain, Hitler and Fleischmann (a disgraced 16th century Franklin Priest).  I find this really hard to believe. Perhaps people are as off-base when they claim that a person is possessed by Satan.

If one wants to find out who a person is troubled by, perhaps it is best to not have pre-conceived ideas.

Regarding the below, some people perform exorcisms according to their beliefs. There are people who help detach spirits from people without using the same methods.

I believe it is a mistake for an exorcist to relate to an influencing spirit as if that spirit is beyond redemption. It is far better to help such a spirit find its way back towards the light. If an exorcist starts saying all that demon/Satan stuff to a spirit who troubles a person, he might end up scarring and confusing that spirit rather helping it find a better approach.

It is significant to add that Emily Rose ended up dying. Therefore the dogmatic approach taken by her exorcist didn't seem to help her.

I believe it's fine to ask God and Christ for help, but an exorcist might make it harder for God and Christ to help out if he uses an approach that is based on inaccurate concepts rather than what is actually needed. "Get out you demon and go to hell for all of eternity." Why would a being want to respond to such words?

When it comes to unfriendly beings there might be some head honchos, but the idea of there being a specific being named Satan is based on misunderstandings. In a way it is irrelevant. As long as we are free to decide what kind of people we want to be, some other being isn't going to be able to force us to become what we don't want to become. We just need to make certain that they don't trick us and don't provide them with weaknesses they can take advantage of.

Regarding what Modi wrote about some evil angel tricking a bunch of other angels to go with him, I doubt this is possible. Even if he somehow tricked them as soon as they saw what he was doing they would've been free to leave him.  When it comes to why some beings become negative there has to be more to it than Modi's explanation.

So what Jesus taught in the New Testament to his disciples and others about Satan and the Devil, even mentioning that he saw him(lucifer)fall from heaven like lightning, must be a load of bullshit according to you!

KarmaLars:

Below is from one of the chapters from one of my books. It provides an example of how the word "Satan" is used in the Bible in various contradictory ways.

-Another example of when a supernatural being isn’t referred to when the word Satan is used can be found in Matthew 16:21-23:

“From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.

But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!”

Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”

I believe it is clear that Peter spoke as he did not because he had evil intent, but because Jesus was dear to him and he was concerned about his welfare. Since the Bible hadn’t been completely written at the time and wasn’t available to the extent it is today, it is very possible that Peter didn’t understand that it was Jesus’ divine destiny to be crucified. In fact, his statement shows that he didn’t have such an understanding. I find it hard to believe that Jesus actually believed that Peter was Satan or was being influenced by Satan. Yet according to Matthew 16:23, Jesus used the name Satan.[15] Jesus’ high regard for Peter is made clear in Matthew 16:13-19:

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

“Well” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”

Then he asked them, “but who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”

Then he sternly warned the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

It is interesting to note that there are no verses between when Jesus praised Peter and when Jesus rebuked Peter. I don’t know how accurately Matthew 16:13-23 portrays the chronological order of events but perhaps it is significant that Jesus’ praise and admonishment of Peter can be found within one range of verses. Perhaps, such an occurrence provides people with an opportunity to consider what precisely the name Satan refers to. Perhaps as Jesus says, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

I have posted these two family exorcisms before:

(1) My Uncle George was a Pentecostal minister.  One day, he received a frantic call to deal with a possession case.  For some reason I don't recall, he had to take his wife (Ruth) and young son Eldon (age 3--now a psychiatrist) with him.  Aunt Ruth and my young sousin waited outside the lady's home in the car.  The moment George successfully completed her exorcism, little Eldon started to scream relentlessly and uncontrollably.  It seemed that the expelled entity was now trying to possess little4 Eldon.  Soon his eyes rolled up until only the whites were visible.  He was in a deep trance.  Young Eldon knew nothing about possession and exorcism.  Uncle George and Aunt Ruth fervently prayed for Eldon's deliverance, but this took a long time.  Finally, he was free: the screaming stopped and his eyeballs reappeared.  Eldon told me that all he can now recall of this incident is a vision of being safely cradled in the loving arms of Jesus. 

(2) When my brother Doug (now a doctor) was 16, he and I were watching Hockey Night in Canada and badgering our poor mother for more hotdogs and icecream.   Suddenly Doug seemed to drift into a trance.  He told me that God had given him the name and location of E, who was demon-possessed, and God expected Doug to perform the exorcism.  Doug had never talked liked this or performed an exorcism; so his message did not compute.  I jokingly said something like this: "OK, don't be late!"   He left quietly on what would be a 7 1/2 mile bus ride on a cold February night to a downtown coffee house in Winnipeg, Canada. 

When he arrived at the coffee house, nothing seemed unusual and he began to doubt his "message."  But that changed when a stranger walked up to him and said, oddly, "You're here on a special mission, aren't you?"  Shortly thereafter, E showed up outside with a gang of thugs who were challenging people to a fight who wanted to enter the coffee house.  Doug felt prompted to approach E and say, "E, God has shown me that you are possessed and has sent me to exorcise you."  This struck E and his gang as hilarious, and he challenged, "OK, bring it on!"  Now Doug had no idea what to do.  So he merely closed his eyes in prayer and lightly touched E on the forehead.  At this, E fell to the floor like a rock, and began writhing like a serpent.  After a couple of minutes of this, he became quiet amd meekly said, "Thank you!"  E's gang was so scared they converted to Christianity on the spot, but their conversions didn't seem to last. 

I met E but couldn't bring myself to ask him about his exorcism.  E later wrote a book on spirituality and became a Canadian media figure.  I could direct readers to seeing him perform on a website, but will instead protect his privacy.  My brother Doug (who will fly in from Colorado tomorrow to visit me) is now too frightened to even discuss this incident.
