A Theory on Ghosts

[AlanFromWichita]

Lol Alan hi, sorry I was not referring to you there. I was just referring to people who do have that mindset though and I agreed that subtle deception is much more dangerous than a physical beating. Thats all I was commenting on.

That being said; my faith in Christ and His Church has grown since I heard with my own ears that not only the visible exists BUT the INvisible as well! I was never %100 confident in the fact that our souls live on when our bodies die but I am now. Believe it or not this whole experience has strengthened my faith to such an extent I can’t even begin to describe. I now pray the rosary daily and receive daily communion (when I can get myself to wake up so early for daily mass! I’ve noticed that I’m a lot more patient and caring with others; in short the fruits of the spirit has increased in my soul.

I’m not saying these spirits are good but they haven’t effected me in a negative way whatsoever.

Then it’s best to ignore some previous posts that seek to scare you about “infestation” or that it’s “too late” for a house blessing. Such posts only encourage you to fear even your own shadow and to feel helpless. You don’t have any reason to be afraid. As long as you pray regularly and even receive daily communion, why worry?

If you let yourself to be afraid, you are only making yourself vulnerable not only to dubious “ghosts”, but to your own fears and dark thoughts. And who doesn’t have fears and dark thoughts after losing a sibling? I’m sorry for your loss; try to pray for his soul, for the eternal rest of souls in Purgatory and also ask God to strengthen and preserve your faith and peace of mind. If you say that up until 8 months ago you were a bit sceptical about the afterlife, you understand why I say this; people who mourn their dear ones often obsess themselves about afterlife and this leads them to a sudden renewal of interest in faith which may be vulnerable to various disappointments, doubts, myths, superstitions and so on. There’s an objective limit to our knowledge about afterlife and nobody has really crossed it, no matter what others say about visions, ghosts, dreams, legends. To be free and to have peace of mind is to accept that nobody really knows.

I posted some things about demons and infestations. I was not seeking to scare anyone. We should not fear Satan.

The Lord is my shepherd. Who should I fear?"

We do however need to be mindful and vigilant. We dare not minimize his power.

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

I’m aware of several instances where a house blessing was ineffective at solving an infestation problem. Some cases are included in threads on this forum.

Worrying is not the answer. Prayer and Sacraments are great sources of grace. They are not an impervious hedge against demons.

How would one know if they have unknowingly invited spirits while being foolish?

I have not really noticed anything unusual, except that my life was very chaotic at the time and i am still scarred by heavy temptations from that point on my life. But then again that seems quite ordinary compared to the things Ive read around here.

There are a number of ways that demons can be invited. Most of the time people who experience problems cannot, with certainty, pin their problem to a single cause.

During an exorcism, the demons sometimes reveal why they possessed the victim.

AMEN! I must say; I really don’t fear these spirits for my faith in Our Lord and my trust in my guardian angels is strong! Our fear motivates their activity. My priest is going to contact me Monday about getting my home blessed; all is well my friends
