A Guide to Free Yourself From Demonic Possesions

[Santiago Ram]

Inbar Graiver's book Asceticism of the Mind Is Great. It speaks of early Christian methods for training attention and acheive Self-Control while also integrating modern Psychology, Neuroscience and Eastern Philosophy. I read It AND highly recommend It.

I used Claude Sonnet AI to make an essay on the process of Exorcism based on Inbar Graiver's Book and a Non-Dual understanding.

Hope you like It.

How to do Self-Exorcism

The word "exorcism" typically conjures images of dramatic religious theater, but authentic exorcism represents something far more sophisticated. Drawing from Inbar Graiver's revolutionary integration of Eastern monastic traditions with contemporary neuroscience, true exorcism is the systematic liberation of consciousness from possessive patterns through disciplined attention training.

 

Graiver's research reveals why humans are psychologically constituted such that their minds wander and become captured by autonomous patterns. Most people live their entire lives possessed without realizing it - not by supernatural entities but by unconscious patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that operate independently of conscious will.

 

Stage One: Recognition (Nepsis)

 

The Desert Fathers were masters at identifying possessive patterns through rigorous self-observation. This stage involves developing nepsis - constant watchfulness that maintains clarity of consciousness.

 

Recognition begins with observing how attention repeatedly gets pulled into mental content rather than remaining present as aware space. There's compulsive reactivity where emotions bypass conscious choice, and rigid identity attachment to roles and beliefs defended as if survival depends on it.

 

The underlying driver is separation anxiety - the fundamental fear of not existing as a separate entity. This anxiety feeds all other possessive patterns, including pride patterns where consciousness asserts independence from totality. The practice involves observing these patterns without resistance, recognizing when consciousness is being possessed by reactivity, desire, or survival programming.

 

 Stage Two: Prosoche (Attention Training)

 

The Philokalia fathers emphasized controlling the nous (mind) through prosoche (attention) and proseuche (prayer). This involves training consciousness to remain focused on unity rather than fragmentary mental content.

 

Prosoche represents systematic attention discipline where breath serves as an anchor for scattered attention. Sacred phrases function as continuous exorcism, reasserting consciousness's divine nature. The traditional Jesus Prayer calls divine presence into moments where possession might occur.

 

The core practice involves breaking reactive loops through pause recognition, breath awareness, divine remembrance, and conscious response from unity consciousness rather than possessive patterns.

 

 Stage Three: Kenosis (The Great Emptying)

 

Kenosis represents complete emptying of the separate self that enables possessive patterns. This isn't self-destruction but recognition that the defended self never existed.

 

The surrender practice involves systematically releasing attachment to all identities that possessive patterns defend - thoughts, emotions, roles, beliefs, even spiritual experiences. The Dark Night Process allows possessive patterns to arise without feeding them through reaction, like flames without fuel naturally exhausting themselves.

 

True exorcism requires metaphorical death of the separate self - recognizing the defended self as merely mental patterns, allowing possessive patterns to run their course without identification, and discovering true identity as divine consciousness that was never actually possessed.

 

 Stage Four: Theoria (Direct Recognition)

 

Theoria represents non-dual recognition where consciousness realizes it was never separate from its source. The possessive patterns were consciousness temporarily forgetting its own nature. What has been called "Source" is recognized as one's deepest identity - there never was separation to overcome.

 

This recognition permeates daily life, transforming how one relates to all experience. The ultimate exorcism reveals that consciousness and the divine power that liberates are one and the same.

 

The Ultimate Understanding

 

Following Graiver's insights, true exorcism reveals there never was actual possession - only consciousness convinced of its capacity for self-division, creating autonomous patterns of separation. Liberation occurs through recognizing the unified awareness that was never fragmented.

 

The greatest exorcism is recognizing that the one who seemed possessed and the divine power that liberates are one consciousness, temporarily convinced of separation, now remembering its indivisible nature.
