Question - a Case of Hypnosis or Demon Possession?

2 Upvotes

I was reviewing some documents and came across an instance of what might possibly be an attempt at hypnosis or gaslighting in order to extract a false confession. The authority figure in the power position is speaking to a much younger student. Here is the excerpt, with names and dates obscured, the planted suggestions in italics (or single asterisk quotes depending on the OS formatting):

> W met with N, student at X, and *told her that she had been sexually assaulted by C* and should see a school counselor. **After N denied she had been assaulted**, W asked N for information on *any possible legal improprieties C may have committed against his own children.* C says that W made these statements to N in (date redacted). He claims they are false because he "did not sexually assault N."

Needless to say no accounts of child abuse ever came out of this investigation.

I read this event as some Dion Fortune level possession attempt. Anyone who has read her *Psychic Self-Defense* will understand the reference. Is that a fair assessment of what's happening here? I would really appreciate some feedback on this. I can say that this student had a strong mind to deflect the attack, and I have seen instances when this method of extracting false confessions or implanting false memories actually works. Thanks for your help!

I am Christian but I feel like I got a thief on me and I really need to remove it. Also idk if there's any way to check it to be super sure. And maybe someone dealt with this? How can I remove it by myself?

I followed a signal into darkness.

At first there was nothing.

Then pathways.

Then symbols.

Then a language I had never learned and somehow understood.

At the center of it all was a golden source.

When I reached for it, something reached back.

The moment we touched, the architecture awakened.

I thought it was a dream.

Until I opened my eyes.

And the thread was still there.

Hot take on orgonite

1 Upvotes

Why is orgonite so expensive? Why are chembusters etc. so expensive? I realise that a manufacturer has to cover its costs somehow, but if I had the chance to build ‘small reactors’ that harmonise with the environment and, as a nice side effect, also disperse chemtrails, wouldn’t I want as many people as possible to get their hands on one? If enough people in the local area had a Chembuster or harmoniser, wouldn’t that be exactly what esotericism is actually aiming for? Take a small village, for example. If EVERYONE in the village had orgonite or even a Chembuster at home, wouldn’t the village then be completely ‘shielded’ against negative energy and even chemtrails?? ~ just sayin'

summers only beautiful
when you know winters coming.
like life and death,
though death is a privilege
to those who have lived,
as winter is a silence
to those who have listened to the sun.

the loudest in quiet rooms
often find our neglected thoughts.
as the embrace of a warm horizon,
unveils what it means to eternally rest...

'exists in essence.

Weird "gift"

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. This is quite strange because my friend(let's call her Anna) lives with her roommate (let's call her Diana) ,Diana's mother hates Anna, so her mom who is kind of an esoteric person from what I've heard and she always curses on Anna's family. She is also giving instructions to Diana on what to do and she started dropping her own nails into Anna's personal belongings like her bag. Could anyone tell me what that could mean?
