I thought this was interesting to read. No, I'm not saying anything endorsing or opposing people in this line of work.
No need for any kind of flame fest over this. Just something to read and post your thoughts about it if you want.
And yes.... I'm bored
The Devil Made Me Write This
by George Anderson
Every once in a while a customer will send an interesting piece of news or snippet from their local paper. Such was the case when someone sent me a page from the Daily Press of Victorville, California. The article's title--"Vatican School Debuts Classes on Exorcism." Naturally the sender knew the article would be of interest to me for two reasons, because I am Catholic, and because the article flies in the face of just about everything the souls have said about the "Devil."
The Vatican--in its struggle to regain lost credibility, lost worshippers, and lost dollars has re-invented itself again by bringing back the subject of excorcism, I will guess in an effort to take the focus away from the pedophilia scandal that they cannot make disappear. I just find it odd that after the hubbub of the 1970's when excorcism became a household word, in part due to movies like "The Excorcist" and "The Omen", that the Church would want to take the lid off the Pandora's Box when it took years to get the lid back on. The good news is that they have put a millennium spin on it now--the Devil is on the Earth.
I have many friends in the clergy. They know not to broach this subject with me because what they were taught is not clear, and even the Church is at odds as to find answers to its own questions. The souls have told me ever since I was able to hear them that the Infinite Light (or God) is pure light and love. Nothing exists in the presence of the Light except for joy. That is why it has been called "heaven." The souls have told me in more than one million sessions that evil is a product of the earth and it stays on the earth. They have explained thousands of times to families that there simply isnt a hell--even the worst on the earth are made to understand where their road went astray here, and are given the opportunity to work to earn the peace, love and joy of the Infinite Light.
Although I was brought up hearing the same dogma that just about every other Christian has been made to listen to, I also have the souls--their words and their deeds-- who offer up a very compelling case against the belief in Satan and Hell.
I often ask people this--if God forgives all, and all you need to do to be forgiven is to ask for it, then if Adolf Hitler, in his last breath says, "God forgive me," where does he go? I am afraid Christians cannot eat their cake and still have it when it comes to the rules. Although it may pain a lot of people to hear this, no matter how bad your life was on the earth, your anger, your pain, your illness has been understood by the Infinite Light who forgives and offers to help to make things right. This is not to say that all is forgotten--I remember in a session I did for a family whose daughter was murdered by an estranged boyfriend who later killed himself, that his job in the hereafter was to look after the family's surviving son, who himself was on a road of destruction, to help himself get back on his feet. The daughter asked for the family to pray for her killer because he needed their forgiveness and was working very hard to earn his place in the Light. I think at the time is was almost too much for the family to hear. But I talked to the family a few years later, and yes their son had straightened his life out, and yes they are struggling to find forgiveness for their daughter's killer, but they understand that it is what forgiveness is all about--to just find peace. The mother told me in a letter "I can hate the man for killing my daughter but I have to love him for saving my son.
There is plenty of evil on the earth, make no mistake--but we cannot have excorcisms for greed or violence or broken trust. Our goal here is to try to erase the evil that is a part of us and our every day lives, and try, at least a little, to bring heaven to the earth. The souls say it can be done.
