Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant when he states that the unclean spirit who leaves a man comes back with seven others more wicked than the first? The early church and Hollywood have given us wrong impressions about unclean spirits. Also known as demons, these entities aren’t the intelligent, self-conscious beings that go around looking for people to possess. Let’s review verses 24-26 in the eleventh chapter of Luke’s gospel and then we’ll dig into the nature of unclean spirits and find out what Jesus was really talking about.
“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And, when he cometh, he find it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of the man is worse than the first” (Luke 11:24-26).
The Nature of Unclean Spirits and Demons
You have probably heard the expression, “Everyone has their own demons.” There’s more truth in this saying than the beings often depicted in movies, at least from the Biblical perspective. Demons, or unclean spirits, make up the evil urges of our lower natures. They are automatic forces of the ego on the astral (emotion and desire) plane. They are the instinctual, habitual impulses that are in opposition to spirit and our spiritual attempts to raise consciousness. They can gain strength, especially the longer certain habits are repeated.
I recently had a conversation with someone who was adamant that demons were intelligent, spiritual beings totally separate from us that went around trying to possess people. But this doesn’t make sense in the grander scheme of things. Imagine an intelligent being that knew its ultimate fate was to be defeated by God and thrown in the Lake of Fire in eternal torment. Would it really continue a battle it knew it couldn’t win? When discussing this point, the other person stated that a demon’s hatred of God was so great that they couldn’t help but to continue their destructive ways. But isn’t this the exact definition of an unintelligent force? A habit that is so instinctual it has no other choice but to continue on its current behavior? That doesn’t sound like an intelligent being that has any will of its own to me. It sounds a lot like an instinctual, blind and stubborn habit!
When I brought this to their attention, the other person brought up the example of Jesus casting out a demon into a herd of swine. As the story goes, the swine then jump off a cliff and all of them are killed. But again, this backs up the fact that Biblical demons are the instinctual, habitual impulses in opposition to spirit. Pigs represent the desire nature within us. It’s symbolic of the desire for nothing but the carnal nature, which is why the demons begged Jesus to go into the swine. And why would a demon, who asked to inhabit a pig, throw the body it possessed off a cliff and destroy it anyway? I think the answer is obvious, don’t you?
The Christ within us is the higher spiritual force that drives out the lower desire nature within us. The demons within simply can’t remain when the Christ within is in the process of being born.
The Unclean Spirit Walking in Dry Places
So what about Jesus’ teaching in our first quote? Notice how Jesus says that when an unclean spirit leaves a man, it walks through dry (waterless) places seeking rest. The dry place Jesus speaks of is a symbol of error and falsity as compared to the truth (moist) places. Our habitual desire nature on the astral-mental level manifest in certain mental conditions that remain absent of truth (water). When a man gains the right knowledge, he can begin learning how to crucify the desire-nature. Jesus wants us to realize that when an unclean spirit leaves (part of the habitual desire nature being conquered), we have to continue bearing the cross until we have fully crucified the lower nature or else we will suffer another round of birth and death.
The Seven More Wicked Spirits, Chakras and Reincarnation
Jesus states that the unclean spirit who leaves and doesn’t find rest returns to the same house (man’s bodies) and finds it swept and garnished. Why does the unclean spirit return with seven others? Jesus’ use of the number seven is not arbitrary. This is a reference to the seven main chakras along the spinal column, or tree of life. It’s also another subtle yet profound Biblical teaching revealing reincarnation. Man’s seven chakras serve the purpose of receiving, storing, processing and disseminating information / energy between our spiritual and physical bodies. The physical life is in the blood, but man could not be a conscious being without chakras with which to connect his etheric, astral, mental, and causal bodies.
The seven unclean spirits represent the habitation and blockages of negative energy in the seven main chakras. The unclean spirit finds the body of man swept and garnished because, in the next round of birth and death, the physical vessel starts anew and the new house (body) is another opportunity for life on the physical plane (swept clean and garnished). At first the house is clean, but as the man or women did not conqueror the lower nature of his ego in the previous life, he or she will contain some of the same energetic conscious imprints that still have to be conquered. In other words, although new opportunity and physical life is given, old habits still remain.
The seven unclean spirits represent blockages that can also be compared to the seven deadly sins, and it is karma which gives rise to the seven deadly sins.
- Lust
- Gluttony
- Greed (avarice)
- Laziness (sloth)
- Wrath
- Envy
- Pride
Below is hot they relate to the seven chakras filled with negative information and energy.
- The Root chakra: represents lust, and the fear of not having.
- The Sacral chakra: represents gluttony, and the guilt as a result of selfishness.
- Solar Plexus chakra: represents greed, and the shame that results.
- The Heart chakra: represents sloth, a spiritual laziness which rejects the grace of God.
- The Throat chakra: represents wrath, lies, and hate
- Third Eye chakra: represents envy, and the illusion of lack that others might have, ultimately resulting in sorrow.
- The Crown chakra: represents pride, and ultimately the attachment of self, perhaps the deadliest of all.
King Solomon provides parallels to the seven deadly sins in Proverbs 6:16-19:
“These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imiginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discard among brethren.”
In Galatians 5:19-21, St. Paul also lists the deadly sins. Although they constitute more than seven as a list, they fall under the seven categories already listed. The scripture states:
“Now the works of the flesh (ego) are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idoltry, withcraft, hatred, variance, emulation, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, revellings, and such like…”
Of course this post wouldn’t be complete without listing the seven virtues. You can compare and contrast them to the seven deadly sins and see how they may relate to each chakra. When a man or women replaces the seven deadly sins with the seven virtues of life they are well on their way to crucifying the lower man and gaining higher consciousness. The seven virtues are as follows:
- Chasity
- Temperance
- Clarity
- Diligence
- Patience
- Kindness
- Humility
Remember, the seven virtues come from thoughts and emotions that vibrate on a much higher frequency. May we all strive to birth them within.
Blessings!

I admit it, I’m dumb… please answer this:
And why would a demon, who asked to inhabit a pig, throw the body it possessed off a cliff and destroy it anyway? I think the answer is obvious, don’t you?
Joshua Tilghman says
Kevin,
Sorry, I was probably a little confusing there. I simply meant that the traditional understanding of a demon contradicts its actions in those scriptures. It wouldn’t have happened.
Blessings!
Joann Barton says
I have only given this a very quick read so please excuse me if my ignorance is showing.
I have been invaded by demons & I cannot make them go, not even in Jesus’ name, but I have found ways to make their stay very unhappy. If I read what I think that I read, these are real individual beings. They expected Jesus to punish themselves by banishing them to the pit. They crave bodies & while humans are their favorites, they prefer animals to none at all. They did not expect the pigs to stampede. They used to try to hinder my prayers by being very noisy. I began to stop & harass them about their situation. They threw away the glories of heaven to just buzzzzz around myself. I point out the fact that they don’t have any power but their noise over me. I have all the power because I have the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit backing me, & all that they have is useless noise. I make fun of the fact that fear is the only power that they could have over me but because I am protected by the Holy 3 they can only make noise. They pretend that they don’t mind & they keep it up until the phone rings, or I get busy doing something else but when I come back to my prayers they keep mighty quiet. By the way; they are very upset that I am writing this. They are making a lot of noise trying to confuse me. I am not going to stop. I have a new, more powerful weapon which I am going to punish them with after I finish writing this. I go to a church that only serves the Lord’s supper about 4 times a year. I can only going to morning services & they moved it to evening. I complained to people about this & some told me that I can serve it to myself at home. I was skeptical at 1st, but I decided to try it. I know that the idea is to examine yourself & then take it in memorial to the Lord’s victory on the cross. I confess any sins that I slip & do as I make them. I have developed a program that is different but the evil ones hate it. I serve it with each meal, or snack every day. I hold the juice, & the flat bread in hand & I say, “Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me. Thank you for permitting these evil,lying hypocrite, would be murderers of you to cause your victorious, brilliant, bright red, warm blood flow from your victorious warm body onto your victorious cross. Thank you for permitting them to make you to feel the pain, the nails, the thorns, the abuse, & you stated on that cross & endured it all. Thank you for staying & taking it. It looks impossible but you did it. I then say, “I proclaim your death, burial, sacrifice, & resurrection until you come again.” & I drink the juice. I then say again that I proclaim, & I eat the bread. They are very upset & are making a lot of noise. I have been taking time out as I print this to make fun of how I can’t make them go, not even in Jesus’ name but they are in my house (They call the bodies that the squat in their house. I have been making fun of myself not being able to get rid of them, & letting it be known that putting up with them refusing to go that putting up with the Lord’s supper, & me telling people about how I treat them is the rent that they pay. Until I can afford a deliverance minister this is the story of their lives. Ta. Ta., I’m off to take the Lord’s Supper.
Ellisse says
Can I ask. Are you Spirit filled. What biblical doctrine are you being taught at the church were you congregate? Do you or the church you go teach about water baptism in Jesus name for the remission of sin and baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in another language as the Spirit of God gives you to speak as indicated in John 3:5 and Acts 2:38.
And no demon can stay when you use the name of Jesus with power and authority. the Bible says that. and I do encourage you to seek fully the doctrine taught by Jesus to be baptize and Spirit filled you will see how the demons will depart. Where God is no demon can stay.
Father in the name of Jesus, I pray that is Joann has not found peace and is still dealing with what she has shared, Father I thank you for the victory that is in you alone. Holy Spirit you break every yoke and where you are there is liberty so I thank you for the liberty, freedom and for victory and for salvation in your mighty name.
In Jesus name, Amen!!

Rebuke them in the name of YAHSHUA . That is the name of our Savior . In Hebrew it means Salvation of YAH – YAHWEH is The Name of The Creator . LORD , GOD , HEAVENLY FATHER .
Regina Mecco says
Ask Jesus if there are any lies you are believing about freedom. Wait for Him to answer.
While i honor the journey of those here, I feel a prompt in my spirit to bring clarity.
A deliverance minister doesn’t set you free. Jesus does. The Seven chakras are not of Yahweh but a demonic counterfeit. Those centers, illegally claimed by eastern mystics are the dwelling place of the 7spirits of God. They are the mentors Yahweh assigned to us as Sons. Agreeing with the chakra concept gives demons a legal right to sit in those gates.
Jesus holds the universe together, He is everywhere including YOU. He is the very fabric of our existence. Look up Liebusters. You’ll get truly free. My sense is the oppression you’re experiencing is an attempt to keep you out of your destiny.
pam says
stop…..run from this horse poop you have been indoctrinated with…… GOD
Dr. Tom Knotts says
Often when a person cannot be freed from an entity is it because they had DID or more than 1 personality. That personality is usually on the opposite side of the brain or located in the gastrointestinal system or heart. In order to break and remove the stronghold you must confront the other personality or fragment and then once cleansed integrate it back into the whole.

Sarah says
Hello,
I was did mediation, crystal and chakra work until one day I was with a friend of mind and we noticed something in my room looked like a face on the wall and the energy field was vibrating my life has never been the same since. DEMONs are real. I know several people that can see them as well as myself. I was a non-believer in the bible until this happened. They DO live with in people if you are living a life of continous sin and they will come back stronger and more. This is Satan’s tatic to get you to dabble in other theories trust me. “The wider the gate the wider the road to distruction. I am not discredicting chakras but deffinately something to pray about but demons and angels are real. The Lord has openned my spiritual eye to see these tactics and also the book of corthinans explains this. Satan’s wants you to think he is not real thats how he can destroy you salvation. I prayer for anyone that does not think otherwise. The times are coming Satan controls the air, wifi, cell phone towers, and the demons live in the air. So please do not speak of what you do not know. Ask the Lord to give you wisdom. You are correct they are not like Hollywood portrays them but to someone one not filled with the holys spirt they will cause people to do murder,sucide,steal, and all evil acts. Satan has one mission decieve, kill and destroy. This sounds like a a perfect example. God bless you!

study Hebrew an find a bible not based on the latin vulgate…its ego….not real demons or devil…Love to ya….PEACE 2 Corinthians 5 verse 19 always

I’m sure you’re right but this is my culture
flora says
This is a mixture of New Age and Christianity which means lies with a bit of truth. This renders it useless for human consumption.
Joshua Tilghman says
Flora…
No disrespect here, but what is the total truth, and what part of this is truth? Does the total truth reside in the doctrine of men? Please elaborate and I will comment further.
Jess says
I think this is a wonderful article and really insightful and interesting interpretation. I loved it. I appreciate your time and effort and for sharing. Thank you.
Joshua Tilghman says
Thank you for the comment, Jess.
Embarae says
I agree with Flora. The chaka’s and new age is not biblical. I studied this in my life time and found it did nothing for me but invite the uninvited. Yoga also. There is no repentance for our accountability of sin when we go into self meditation and such. Self can not get rid of demons. ( I have seen demons, I am a seer). So beware of these messages. Where is Jesus’s salvation in this???
Adam Adam says
the 7 lamps within the bible isnt the 7 chakras or 7 heavenly virtues as well built within you huh?
David says
The main chakras are good.
The necro chakras are what you are talking about.
Vito D'Alessandro says
This is Christianity with a Hindu angle. You are trying to mary Hinduism with Christianity and you can sound as religious as Rasputin in your writing but you have no true knowledge in this regard. There is no reincarnation. It is life, death, the Judgment (resurrected from the grave to stand Judgement) and from there depending on the Judgment either the second death which is Eternal Hell or the second birth with is Life Eternal in Heaven.
Scott says
In the beginning the earth was formless and shapeless. The lord said let there be light. Then from the waters came the land. The water kingdom existed before the light. So when things were cast out into utter darkness there is a plausibility that the spirits have comfort in the deep dark water. This is where the concept of sirens and mermaids that entice sailors come in. Having lived on the islands the call to purity is a very real struggle with so many various spirits that come up and go while people feed their carnal desires. Just some thoughts as to why so many swine would run back to the depths.
sparks says
Josh,
I agree, embracing/birthing the “Virtues” and in addition “The Fruits of the Spirit” will resonate a very high frequency…
Adding to this would be Paul’s Corinthians 1:13, which resonates the highest frequency!!
“LOVE NEVER ENDS, LOVE CONQUERS ALL”
after all, that’s why we’re all here (man-kind), because we Believe!
Hold the light/frequency,
Sparks
Joshua Tilghman says
Thanks Sparks!
Kevin says
So, if we all have our inner demons to deal with? Is it safe to say that no demon can be in the Nirvana state that is heaven? That any demon undealt with requires another go round of this reality to attempt again the reign it under control?
Joshua Tilghman says
Kevin, one who has reached the Nirvana state would have no more demons to conqueror, and yes, demons have to be dealt with in this life.
Leo says
How to know about ?
In doing comes truth.
I have learned a different perspective. I.e. there is no ending to the life experience. A deepening, a widening, a continued never ending story.
The story narrated here is one of hell and heaven, period. Once done we are done.
I believe once done a new horizon appears, a new unfolding, a new journey.
David says
Josh,
U said these demons can Gain Strength when certain habits are repeated…hw can they be dealt with or controlled after being Strength as a result of Ones Ignorance…
Joshua Tilghman says
David,
By simply breaking the bad habits. The best way is replacing the bad habits with good ones. Sometimes it’s hard to confront a habit head on by just resisting it. That’s why I recommend finding something positive to replace it with. Changing the way you think about something is immensely important. Meditation also helps. Even exercising and eating right helps. But remember the main battle is in the mind. Once a bad habit is replaced by a good one, it’s hold over you will begin to diminish.
anita brown says
agreed– yoga is a life-force enhancing habit/discipline which builds our fire to burn down habits and unhealthy thinking
sparks says
Josh, Kevin and David,
Unfortunately, we are not just confronting with any demons we have created but also those of our ancestors/DNA, if it is not cleared before our lifetime, part of our mission is to help clear it for them…keeping in mind just how far your family has survived on this plane of our existence, WOW!
On the definition of Sin, essentially it is “missing the mark” or “marker”, if missed for whatever reason’s, emotional conflict, karmic manifestation, etc. etc., it will definitely present itself again, as the helix spirals…for God’s Love for us never ends and the “Hero” within oneself will eventually be Victorious!
Meditating, Contemplating, as Josh has suggested will bring forth a greater understanding making one’s JOB here somewhat smoother with less angst. Silence, Patience, Prayer and being in nature also can aid us in the question, what is this all about?. Know your better Angels!
Love and Light,
Sparks
Omar says
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; cit is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
How does that verse work out in the esoteric interpration? It seem like to me we are the ones doing all the work to receive this state bliss. It seems like a lot of us doing besides having faith to enter the kingdom. The gift of the holy spirit is suppose to be free. Meaning we shouldn’t have to do anything receive it. All this work to pretty much to save ourselves and meet God and be one with him.
Joshua Tilghman says
Omar, works are important as well. However, once we give in to the illusion of the ego, a transformation can begin to take place. Practicing meditation takes effort to begin, but the process that unfolds through daily practice is beyond the intellect and understanding and therefore can be said to be a power we receive through faith. Does this make sense?
Sujith S Babu says
Josh Bro…
I think all text and enlighted persons where try to teach us the same fact. Search your inner self, god is in you. I learned chakras from Shiva devoties. And I try to dig more in Hindu texts. After reading your Blog I realise one fact, all texts says the same. Now I really believe Jesus is also like Bhudha both are the persons who awakened the 7th chakra known as Sahasra or lotus chakra. On my research ” Why Hindus had more than one god or have 33crore gods”. Now it’s clear to me. Each person is different from one another. And these goes are the path to show you your innerself where reall god lays. Lord Shiva is the one shows us meditation. And also he said people are blind in this world only when they meditates they could achive the true knowledge about this universe. First I was shocked reading some of your lines. Same facts are said in vedas. No wonder why foreigners are respecting Indian culture in a unique way.
I’ve one thing to ask you?
Is their are spirits in this world. I know demons and god is within our self. What I want to know is, Is there are any external spirits are wondering around us. Do you beleive that we can summon jesus or shiva through our meditation.? I think you can answer me to this because you think more differently than me. I’ve also read Bible but I couldn’t even extract this much from it. May be I’m not able to read like you did, so help me and answer my question. Thank you 🙂 🙂
Sujith S Babu
Joshua Tilghman says
Sujith,
Thanks for commenting. Are the external spirits in this world? Good question. Yes, I believe so. In fact, I think it takes some time for the mental and emotional body to die after physical death. There is a lot of mystery surrounding this topic, but it had always made sense to me especially if one believes that consciousness is not created in the physical brain. As far as summoning Jesus through meditation, I believe it would be possible to have access to an external consciousness through this method, but I wouldn’t recommend trying it. Meditation shouldn’t be used to reach someone who had died. Blessings.
Beverly says
Jesus isn’t dead. He is seated at the right hand of God.

Tiffany says
Yeshua (Jesus) is not dead. Yeshua defeated death. Yes He was killed, but HE rose from death. Death could not contain Him. HE is not dead. He is the bridge between death and Eternity. He was the Word through which all life ( the Universe) became manifest. Including all deities. Blessings*
Logan says
If somebody can help me out id greatly appreciate it because im stuck between a rock and a hard place and im sort of confused and i want to be sure im doing the right thing. So ive done a lot of my own research and had my own experiences with different belief systems and religious practices and i feel as if they all point fingers at each other and say that the other belief or practice is wrong or evil and that theirs is the only correct one without even learning or understanding what the other belief system is actually representing and practicing. I on the other hand have seen and felt BOTH GOOD AND EVIL, BOTH LIES AND DECIET, REALITY AND TRUTH in ALL of the belief systems and religions ive been a part of. They all seem to be missing the point of their religion. For example, what you said about what the chakras and what they represent all seem to be different then what i have learned practicing balancing them. And a part of balancing them is all about unconditionally loving and caring for the earth, your tribe(human family), your body and every other living thing and most of all GOD. ALL of those things listed are GODS creation, am i wrong?
So here are the chakras accordong to what i have learned.
1St Root- Foundation, loving and caring for the earth for it provides food and shelter for this physical existence. Loving and caring for your tribe and taking care of your physical body and earth and not filling them with toxins.
I fail to see why these things would be considered evil when they teach you to love and take care of the earth and your physical body that are BOTH GODS CREATIONS, therefore its teaching you to take care of GODS creation FIRST and FOREMOST.
2nd-sacral- creativity, joy, pleasure. Basically experiencing and showing gratiude and celebrating this beautiful opportunity GOD has givin us to be creators ourselves in the likeness of GOD for we are all GODS children correct? And GOD is the ultimate CREATOR correct? And this is also where we go from the tribe to one on one relationships.
Brother and brother, sister and sister, brother and sister, father and son, mother and daughter, and even husbands and wives.
3rd-solar plexus-the power and ability to be an individual. NOT a controlling aggressive power, but a an ability to acknowledge differences but trancending these challenges of polarity and willing to take action in the face of change. And here we also go from tribal love and communication, one on one love and communication, to self love and communication. I like to call this solitude. This is where we go off on our own and learn about ourselves. Its about the power to be an individual, to be unique, while celebrating our continuing connection with all humanity and life.
4th-heart-This is about relating with compassion, unconditionally with love to others, but not dependant on others. Its about being, enduring, and constant, regardless of externals. Its also concerned with forgiveness for which we accept another for doing their best.
5th-throat-this one is all about sound,communication: not everyday chatter but purposeful thoughts and speech. Personal expression combined with resposibility. Balancing this chakra means choosing words that have value and weight to communication. This is also where we learn to express hurt or anger, but do so in such a way that doesnt diminish or defile anyone or anything. To recognize the power of the written and spoken word and taking responsibility for them and their feelings. Communication is a wonderful gift from GOD, do not abuse it. On addition to sound, this chakra is connected with hearing. Practicing active listening and developing the outer ear for the subtle inner to develope to better hear when GOD has sent you a message. When the throat chakra is balanced, thought and speech slow down and true communication begins to take place.
6th-third eye- This is where we stop just going off of “what everyone else says” or “by the book” so to speak.This is that “little guiding voice” or “hunches” or when we “know things” or “feel things” we cannot rationalize. We often ignore these feelings these days to suffice our “just do what your told” mindset of society. This chakra also teaches to silence the cacophony and noise of everyday life and to be still. This is what most call meditation. Or i like to say, listening to GOD.
7th-crown- This is not a destination or a conclusion, but a rebirth as we prepare for the constant unfolding of new experiences. Representation of infinity and recognition of the Divine Creator, for GOD is infinite. This chakra further expands the concepts of the throat chakra for communication and the third eye for that live streaming voice-communication and interconnectedness with all things. This is also where we learn to stay focused on specific goals, but continue being aware that there are infinite possibilities, more than the human mind alone can ever fathom, through which those goals might be realised. Therefore open to and embrace the unexpected. Rather than being self centered, you learn to accept how little you really know and begin to trust your connection to the Divine Creator of all things.
I feel as if everyone should be practicing these things, not “in the name of GOD”, but actively participating these things FOR GOD.
So please please PLEASE, help me to understand why most western religions like christianity believe everything i just explained to be evil.
Joshua Tilghman says
Logan, I wouldn’t worry about why they see many metaphysical teachings as evil. You have to remember that Christianity in the traditional sense has many elements that aren’t based on anything but that: tradition. It’s only natural for many Christians to reject metaphysical teachings as evil.
Tiffany says
That is extremely beautiful. The Bible is all truth. Sadly the Bible itself tells us that the ‘religious’ people see but do not perceive and they hear but do not understand. So that’s why Yeshua teaches us to Bless those who curse us, love our enemies and pray for our persecutors. GOD wants all of us to return to HIM. We can help by obeying CHRIST. It’s easy once we are in Grace. Be blessed brother. Thank you for your words of experience.
Joshua Tilghman says
Tiffany…
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!
Tasha says
This. I am an anointed Child of God, The only way to Him is through Jesus. If Jesus is missing in ANY system, it is a lie. Satan doesn’t come with horns and pitchfork, He comes in all the things you love and desire. The father of lies. However, I search for truth in all things and your statement right here, is exactly how I’ve been led. The Holy Spirit guides me from what it evil , and The Lord does not allow me to be fooled or falsely led. He protects His Children. All deities are under Him, but worship idols, made of mans hands, is what you MUST BE CAREFUL OF. Nothing comes before the Lord, and nothing comes before Jesus. Pride can be an idol, it’s not all materialistic. I could go on and on but your statement is true and I search for truth IN ALL things but you must have a STRONG FOUNDATION of the truth (Of God and what He did for us by sending Jesus His son and reading His Word) to establish The Relationship with Him. I have a deep connection with ABBA, and Jesus, with The Holy Spirit. I am so blessed to have it, and God loves us so much that He gave us a choice to choose Him or The Wolrd, knowing we may not choose Him in return after giving up His Son to die for us. Love is a choice, we all have it. Religion < Jesus
Religion < Relationship
I’ve had this Chakra work done, and I know what can be made evil of it. There is evil in all works of the flesh in every part of beliefs people choose. It is not God to blame, but us. We can be such complicated little sheep. Choose Jesus, seek and you shall find. You have not because you ask not. The Holy Spirit is what Jesus gave us when He died and rose again. To decline this gift is to call God a liar. You know, a reverent fear of the Lord is good, and trust me, He is a God , He is Love, but with Love is there not Justice? He protects His Children, we are made in His Image. Would you not protect your child? We live in some crazy times. Seek the truth, follow Jesus, and as it is written. Test the spirits. Ask The Holy Spirit to lead you in Jesus name. I’ve been blessed with many people of different backgrounds and I don’t argue but I do share and they share our experiences and so forth. But Jesus is the way, the truth, and life, no one gets to The Father except through Him. These practices are merely acts of love to our bodies just as exercise is love to our muscles. But like I said. Be alert and be cautious, the evil one is cunning and deceitful. The father of lies is his name and that alone should be enough to keep the foundation of The Lord Jesus. The ROCK (foundation) of our faith.
Love you all! God Bless
❤️
David says
So would it not be better to not banish the 1 spirit so that it doesn’t return with 6 more. I believe Jesus said this some where that it is better to learn to control your demons then let them loose.
Tiffany says
Fasting and prayer can accomplish this. Peace.
J Smith says
This information is wonderful. I am a firm believer that some Believers are walking in false humility lacking understanding (Hosea 4:6). Truth and understanding only come to does who seek it. Bible says, To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them (Matthew 13:12 NLT). God is married to the backslider (Jeremiah 3:14 KJV) misquoted in pulpit teaching has cause many people to have misunderstanding. Also the misuse of (Jeremiah 2:19 KJV), Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord….
Don’t we all want to know what the root of the problem is so we can drive it out. A good sermon Sunday is not taking away sins. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices (2 Cor 2:11 KJV). “When a man gains the right knowledge, he can begin learning how to crucify the desire-nature. Jesus wants us to realize that when an unclean spirit leaves (part of the habitual desire nature being conquered), we have to continue bearing the cross until we have fully crucified the lower nature or else we will suffer another round of birth and death.”A shrewd person sees danger and hides himself, but the naive keep right on going and suffer for it (Pro 22:3).”
Joshua Tilghman says
J Smith…
Wow. You have made such an important comment here. To understand the root of our problem in the mind is key!
MC REST says
It also speaks how we will suffer for the cause . He didn’t say the spirits may come back he said they will . And stronger in a new form so it can fully be conquered
MAjik says
You seem intelligent but also like you operating out of fear….to say that using your chakras is demonic to me is foollish. For one if the chakras are located up and down our spine inside of us why would we even question is it for our use or who created it…that’s like me trying to guess rather or not I should use my kidneys…. Surely if its in us its for us… If u meditate and you have righteous thoughts what’s wrong with that…not like to use yo chakras you have to do demonic things or say a spell or sacrifice a human…all you do is breath right exercise and meditate eat right..turn of technology and focus on your love for god…how can this be wrong or from Satan…that’s why its important to be self taught because people make simple things complicated…. Stay bless
Joshua Tilghman says
Thank you MAjik for this reply. You are correct. But sometimes meditation is a requirement for clearing out junk psychologically.
MAjik says
If chakras are located in the human body located up and down our spine to the crown of our head then why do we even have to guess if its for us or who created it god or the devil… Clearly if god created the body and place something in us Its for our usage. That’s like me trying to figure out rather or not should I use my kidneys…or trying to figure out did god create my kidney or did the devil… Not like to tap into my chakras I have to call on the devil or sacrifice a life or do a spell or something weird…but to tap into my chakras all I have to do is breath..meditate on the love of god… Exercise eat right and turn of technology what’s the harm of that…what can u lose meditating on god and being healthier and less distracted from your spiritual self….
Joshua Tilghman says
MAjik…
As per your questions, I’ll answer them one at a time. You state: “If chakras are located in the human body located up and down our spine to the crown of our head then why do we even have to guess if its for us or who created it god or the devil?”
Why do you have to guess? This questions assumes a traditional doctrinal belief vs. a spiritual belief, and the question is yours, not mine.
You then state: “Clearly if god created the body and place something in us Its for our usage. That’s like me trying to figure out rather or not should I use my kidneys…or trying to figure out did god create my kidney or did the devil… Not like to tap into my chakras I have to call on the devil or sacrifice a life or do a spell or something weird…but to tap into my chakras all I have to do is breath..meditate on the love of god… Exercise eat right and turn of technology what’s the harm of that…what can u lose meditating on god and being healthier and less distracted from your spiritual self….”
I agree completely. However, life in duality causes many blockages, so we must be careful in how we approach those blockages. For example, if you try to unwind a bolt tightened too much without lubricant you can strip it! Sometimes a preventive is required before you undo.
Jacqui says
Hey
I have complete faith in Jesus Christ, but i don’t label myself as a Christian since i believe we all worship one God through different methods.
I have been researching the seven chakras. If i open or balance them would this allow demons to pass through me?
Joshua Tilghman says
Jacqui,
In a sense if I understand your question then yes!
Leo says
We have many chakra’s. The main 7 are situated both in the back and in front of us (figure of speach). With the ones in the back we are connected to the higher realms. They run at a higher frequency than the ones in front, with which we communicate with the physical world(s), the lower realms. All chakra’s are interconnected, so there is no obvious it is this or it is that.
When the 3 lower chakra’s are active and paired together they automatically protect us in the physical world, the lower realms. We are provided for, sheltered, protected in the physical sense.
Together (1,2,3) they form the powerhouse of our manifestation in the physical form.
(3,4,5) form another powercentrum and on top we have (5,6,7). None of these chakra’s work independently, they work together.
When we are conceived by the union of man and woman, we grow into being a physical being like we are in an egg, surrounded by healthy energy, protected by a golden egg-shaped sheet. During the mishaps and endurances in our life the egg-shell gets punctured, we loose the Life energy and our vehicle gets stranded, resulting in physical death. And yes, other entities eat from us, but we consent . . .
There is suffering, the opponents keep battering us and finally we hit rock bottom. We surrender, pray to All What Is and there is joy because the lost son comes back.
Are we finished now ???
Oh no, now the real work starts. We make inventory of our situation and the restoration of the vehicle. The vehicle that is meant to be temple of Spirit. In analogy of the white horse, ying subdues to the higher calling and starts listening to the knight (Mind). To keep the vehicle from defilement it needs to be protected. So we need to restore the protective egg-shaped shell around us. We gave that away, now we need to recover that. That is the first work. It takes time, lots of it as long as the breaches in the egg-shape structure all still allowing the infow of the ‘evil spirits’. So that is the foremost task, protecting the bodies so that restoration can be effective. Pumping water out of a boat with a breached hull, stop the breaches first. All other jobs are ineffective as long as this is not fixed. I did it the wrong way and it took me 27 years to discover this simple truth, then another 3 years to come to a partly working powerhouse (work in progress).
Bless you all.
Leo Gerritsen says
as a follow-up.
i did some cleaning and yes it came back again. but more subtle, in various places.
So apparently to me 🙂 when starting the cleaning, expect some things coming back until the process of understanding that subject (=awareness, the work to bring this about =karma) is rounded,finished.
Keep courage, it will finish,eventually.
Later on, when new aspect of :Life are discovered this process of integration will become more smooth.
Bless you all.
Jodi says
Wow! I have learned so much by reading this thread. I am so excited to stumble upon this page! Leo, you and Josh are powerhouses of good, useful information. I thank you both and now that I have saved this page under my “favorites”, I look forward to referring back to this page and read what you both say next.
Blessings to you!
Leo aka lkkb says
Thanks Jodi.
Important though is to make your own story.
How ?
By doing.
Make mistakes, drop and stand up again.
Continue your own journey. Every human being is unique and has a unique path to travel.
Be safe,
Leo.
Nicole says
If you open your third eye chakra and you are not on a higher frequency than u let in demonic energy . Look up the sacred secretion . That’s the key . That is the 144,000 that the book of revalations talks about .
Leo aka lkkb says
@Nicole (April 17, 2020 at 6:13 pm)
Nicole, I do not agree on that. Demonic energy is. Not good or bad, but is. It exists.
It is not only outside of us. For those that deny their own demons, yes, they only exists outside of them. But demons inside of us are hidden in our suppressed personalities. They pop up when provoked and the personality ‘in control’ cannot no longer keep the lid on the ‘matter’. That is why people reject the use of alcohol and drugs because its use tends to loosen our hidden powers (suppressed emotions, denied karma). When we are young we act more natural and say ‘things’ that pop up. Slowly our culture teaches us to suppress ‘things’ (boh good and bad and neutral).
But activating the Third Eye without proper isolations in place make that people see things and amygdala-hijacks occur. Some people call that demonic activity (it is not me !). Many of the proposed exercises to activate the sixth chakra (Third Eye) ‘unearth’ people. The connection with Mother Earth gets lost and signals received are cluttered with noise, you can compare that with an audio setup with bad earthing connections.
The way I unclutter the signals :
1. I find a safe place.
2. I calm myself down.
3. I put an imaginary egg around my physical body, fill it with golden light.
4. I let the energy fields rotate (like a maha-oot). (in a danger situation I create rotating swords around me).
5. I breathe in from the top of my head and let the breathe ‘flow’ towards my feet into the Earth. I let the energy travel on my back side. This activates the influx of energies from the higher realms into this physical realm (through my body).
6. On the breathe out, I let the breathe flow at the front from my feet upwards to my forehead (the seat of the Third Eye). I ask all my body cells to start communicate with the center of the Third Eye (also called the Unmovable Witness). And I ask the Unmovable Witness to take care of things to the benefit of All. So the outflow contains all kinds of information (past, present and future) and it goes straight into the Third Eye.
7. Then I iterate 5-6. (go slowly, slowly, the information contained in our bodies may be overwhelming. Ask the Unmovable Witness to keep it manageable).
This way I tell my body cells that I am in control and I delegate the ‘signal processing’ to the Unmovable Witness. (I am transferring the power of attorney to my Unmovable Witness).
In due time it will become a habit to re-establish the ‘golden egg’. While waiting for some thing to happen (bus, train, traffic light) it becomes naturally to start moving energy around in the energy body.
As a result the daily occurring amygdala-hijacks will slowly diminish. Anxiety attacks will be seen for what they are. It looks like I have become my own observer.
– Bypassing all kinds of ‘fixed connections’ (habits, ‘force of nature’). Changing, bypassing the old connections (synapsis) and making new ones is call neuro-flexibility (when habits are changed, the brains are changed, causing old connections to be broken down and new ones to occur. This may cause slight head-aches, because the blood will have to dispose of the old structures).
At the onset of the corona affaire I had to pince me in the arm regularly, just to check I was dreaming this all up. I was totally surprised people are accepting all that ‘crap’. Apparently the maya has become so accepted, people even don’t think about it anymore. The ‘new normal’ has taken possesion of many people.
The above ‘energy exercise’ is the accumulation of 30+ years in finding a way to manifest the Real Me. It is by no means finished. Every day I find more hidden features (in myself) that have been conditioning me and my stance in the world. Now I know the more i feel provoked the stronger the defense mechanism of the lower ‘me’. I am getting to be more friendly with that ‘me’ in all it expressions. And , yes, i find myself demonic towards certain groups of beings. And then a moment later I laugh at myself, seeing that I have similar tendencies. Anger and tensions stop by me laughing at ‘me’.
When someone asks for help. I put a golden egg around that person, fill it with a purple light, give confidence that things will work out. After that I tie off the connection, leaving that person with my assurance that she/he can handle things on their own. This will grow confidence within that person and it will liberate myself from constant worrying (a real bad habit!).
Be safe, you All.
Gma P says
Dear Padre: First time I stumbled upon your site. It couldn’t have come @ a better time as I truly believe God provides and works in a multitude of mysterious ways. Was a very active member of “organized RELIGION” for 30+ years until I divorced my abusive MD husband. His religious activities boiled down to occasional large checks dropped in the offering plate. But I was the one in the wrong for not honoring my vows to love, honor & obey thru the good, bad & ugly, plus raise up 2 impressionable little boys in that environment as this is how to treat your wife (after all – extrapolated scripture does say man is head of the household). When I became suicidal from this continuing state of Hell, it was God who pulled my head out of my sewage regions & put me on the right track by learning about & getting involved in unorganized spiritual pursuits: shamanic journeying, meditation, chakra awareness/cleansing & control along w scripture reading sometimes just for fun, but most often in search of guidance. I was quite content/ happy w my path until 5 years ago when I got gravely ill. Due to malfeasance (what God has put together let no man put asunder) my health has been declining since which I’ve been dealing w thru the answer of a prayer – “Adjust-Readjust-Repeat.” Then trouble really arrived literally on my doorstep a year ago. I had just moved to a new town & new abode when I met the groundskeeper shoveling my sidewalk. In introducing myself, he said he noticed I Was walking w a cane & could he pray for me because he was a faith healer. He even gave me his card before I said yes scurrying indoors out of the coming blizzard. Thought nothing about it as to me prayer is prayer, in this case in absentia because I left him outside to finish his job & get home out of the storm. Occasionally saw him out & about & would sometimes ask his advice where to locate this or that, or to help me move things my doctors had limits on. This included hanging pictures- one in particular, that being a picture of my animal totems, in the conformation of a cross, by a dear lady who belonged to my shamanic journeys women’s prayer group. As time went by the grounds keeper & I became friends discussing our beliefs & practices. He even took me to church w him several times to see if I would like to join his faith family. Then my health took an even greater dive, confounding doctors, myself & above all the faith healer. He concludes my perilous health is because I’m demon possessed & not a real believer (months later the doctors found the cause). But in that process the next thing I know, on a day that pain medication wouldn’t touch- faith healer shows up @ my door unexpectedly w 2 women, 1 being my cousin. They had come to pray for me in my time of need. What that turned out to be was an ambush and @ home kidnapping-deliverance ministry(exorcism by Catholic terms) that lasted 11 grueling hours. This much I will give them-they were sneaky & determined to rid me of my “demons” as evidenced by my lack of pain, which didn’t cease. At that point good old cousin turned to her illustrated (comic) book of demons conferring w her friend, called “Pastor C,” – “rebuking this one – that didn’t work-should we try that one?” And the rebuking would commence all over again until we’d move onto the next demon & yet another unsuccessful rebuking. At about hour 10 I started having chest pain, told them to stop (so I could take a nitroglycerin)- was loudly told no & continued to be held upright while my cousin & the pastor referenced the comic book again. At that point I collapsed into one of my holders/handlers arms & down to the floor. They didn’t call 911, but they did let sit a few minutes & have a sip of water before doing another hour of “you gotta standup or be held up” prayers-without rebukings. After all this is done & I’m parked on the couch trying to regain my strength & sanity- faith healer, cousin, & pastor grab my bag of unopened M&M’s from under the demon comic book and without asking follow faith healer into my bedroom to eat my candies while giving my animal totem picture the “true believers” scrutiny. Conclusion: that picture was PROOF that I was practicing witchcraft- which I wouldn’t even contemplate, but will admit to burning a few potatoes in my day. And because I was still in pain, I was still: demon possessed plus a chocolate addict (which I had intended to make into cookies until the True Believers “Christian”Hunger Games commenced). Their parting directions: no more chocolate, no Tv other than religious or PG programs, no movies except PG or a rare PG-13, no secular music ever, religious music 24/7 to keep evil thoughts from entering, & regular church attendance @ churches of their suggestion only. Ya-sure-you betcha! And when do the death squeals of rabbits being butched begin (remember Waco, Tx tactics)? All I could think as I closed the door on their departure “What would Jesus say to all of this?” The smirky laughter, male voice I heard said, “Let the door hit them on the way out!” So now you know my unfortunate run -ins w “wolves in shepherds clothing.” Personally, based on 40 years successful practice (patient/families perceptions, not mine) as a psychiatric RN- I think all 3 are on the deep end of the narcissism pool, & dangerously sociopathic (for caring less about my need to stop) & only focused on their personal/group need to continue/finish their hidden thoughts/agendas. Can’t find nothing in scripture justifying that perspective. Learned a few weeks later the faith healer believed he could pray me through a heart attack (hence no 911); & should I have died then he would have tried raise/me-from-the-dead-prayers. When I confronted him about this whole abomination, & using me as a prayer experiment- he accused me of saying hateful things in telling the truth & holding him/them accountable. He also refused to answer how long he would have waited to call the authorities had I died. I suspect never- close the door, pretend/deny we were ever here, & let my late rent payment & stinking dead body get the authorities involved. What has driven me obsessed was their witchcraft declaration because I have my animal totem picture on my wall. To me it’s like a senior portrait, & much more attractive because of no zits. Please Padre- could you expand & clarify this term “witchcraft” as used in the Bible (Galatians 5: 19-21). I’m so confused in finding no answers on my own-I’m almost afraid to laugh or smile in fear of being called a witch for one goofy perception or another. God bless you in your journeys & on days when there seems to be no warmth in or out-access the Son shine within.
Byrdie says
Oh my word! I’m so sorry this happened to you… I’m speechless!
I think witchcraft is any attempt to manipulate the world around you using magic (your subconsciouss) because this reinforces the ego. The point of being here is just going through whatever comes your way as it is predetermined by your karma, and changing anything affects your karma.
Of course, this is my opinion and should not be taken as fact. I would advise doing your own research. But hopefully this was helpful 🙂 may God forgive me if He is what the Bible says (literal meaning) and I am wrong in my answer to you.
I was raised in a place that would try to shake demons out of you whenever you sinned, even if it was something small like fibbing, which let’s be honest, all kids do. As a kid growing up in this enviroment, it has made me scared of christians… not Christianity the religion, but the people…
Joshua says
Gma…
Sorry I missed this comment, which I only recognized when Byrdie commented below. Please reference my comment to Bimsky below if you have any questions.
Joann Barton says
I had the Lord’s Supper. They had gotten pretty quiet but my writing to you disturbes them greatly. I don’t know exactly why. They have been being pretty quiet most of the time because when they harass me I take the Lord’s Supper.
I am pretty tired & sleepy so I hope that I make sense. I think that I may have read that the demons can’t be in the same body as the Holy Spirit. If I read wrong I am wasting our time.
If you said that you are wrong.
We are copies of the Jewish Temples. The Temple has a Holy of Holies that no sin can enter. The priest is the only one that can enter & he cannot have any sin on him or he will die. They tied something to his leg so that if he died they could pull him out.
We have our Holy of Holies. When we get baptized & receive the gift of the Holt Spirit, it enters our, sealed up tight, Holy of Holies. No demon can get into it. However, they can get into our souls; sanctuary, & our flesh; outer court. As deliverance minister Don Dickerman asks, “Where does sin go when we sin? The fact is that if some guy is reading Playboy, he is sinning. The sin does not just roll off. It enters our souls & stays there until repented & forgiven. It opens the seal/door, & lets the demons in & most of the demons are not as easy to get rid of as commanding them out in Jesus’ name. Most people need the help of a deliverance minister.
Adrianne Grant says
Hi Joshua
I would like to ask you if demons (fallen thought forms) have collective power. In other words if I need to transform the spirit of alcoholism from my DNA and I am managing this through my life time but I keep running into situations or people who seem to tempt me. It is not the people but the spirit that I seem to be dealing with. I have found that judgement doesn’t help but Love seems to be the only method of transforming. Could you help me with this?
Joshua Tilghman says
Adrianne…
Part of life is the temptation. If someone is an alcoholic but wants to quit, first off they have to realize that years of alcoholism will take some time to get over. As a doctor would say, don’t quit cold turkey because that could be just as damaging. So you would have to begin eliminating alcohol with a plan, slowly stepping down the drink load. Part of this process would be staying away from people who are heavy drinking if you can’t stop when it’s available. Alcoholism isn’t just a demon of collective power in the sense of negative thought forms, it’s a physical addiction which has psychological roots. It’s between you and you alone. When I went through a separation with my wife of 14 years I became an alcoholic to cover the pain. MY best friend, who was there for me as support was a great friend but we’d always end up drinking because he hit the vodka pretty heavy. We’d drink and bass fish all day. I wasn’t strong enough to quit on my own. Thankfully I began dating a girl who never drank in excess. She noticed that I could drink a twelve pack of beer and want more, so she told me that was repulsive, and I finally decided to stop. I began drinking less and less over a month until I was able to drink a beer or two and then stop. To answer your question more directly, yes, in a sense the energy from others affects us greatly. Get to a place or hang out with people that do not have this addictive problem. Do this for yourself. If you ever want to contact me and discuss it, feel free to contact me through the contact form and I would be happy to discuss it more with you. As I said, I went through this and it was a very low point in my life. Not sure if you are going through this, I just inferred it from your message, so sorry if I am reading it wrong. Blessings.

Let me say, my vibration has been raised rather inspired, THANK YOU everyone..
I truly believe Josh you get it!!
I had surgery at UCLA and acquired a terrible illness from improper cleaning of instruments,I knew after the surgery something was wrong but doctors couldnt diagnose. I suffered greatly and it took me down. I took my body section by section and cleansed all 1 by 1. I repeated over and over again until I started feeling better not healed completely but better. Through this ordeal I was broken physically and mentally shattered (I’m Dieing is what I thought) I went to bed prayed and gave myself to god and had a dream of looking at a bright bluebird in complete blackness and the fluffy little bluebird landed in my hand and speedily went around my body clockwise from hip lingering on my throat and out the top of my head gone. When I awoke i thought WEIRD next came light and sound magnification and then about 2 wks later sitting on the sofa watching TV my head suddenly felt huge pressure and a loud crack inside my head after that it was wakadoo. I could see electric blue sparkles in mid air like fireflys im not talking dizziness sparkles big sparkles I learned to take pictures big bright orbs I heard horns blowing in my right ear I had electricity dreams like tesla that brought bliss and hear voices names people talking to me calling me by name. It seems to of stabilized. I remember being called by name and asked (Name) do you not finds things in the church curious?? and it tapped my forehead 3 times. So I think yes there is something else what exactly is the curious part.. I feel we all have our own journeys. My understanding of it was shakti kundalini thru suffering?? actually a voice told me it was for illness a gift. Now that being said. There are things we dont understand and our body is more than the glamoured candy coating and the bible does its best to lead the way, writings have been added and subtracted thru various kings and beliefs over the ages but you can still see the message.
Metidate, Meditate, Meditate.. It took me until I thought I was dieing to get rid of the EGO.
Remember GD has many faces, but still only ONE GD.
David says
Wow….after reading all this I can’t help but wonder what the Savior was smoking when he said without hesitation in one of the gnostic texts ( On The Origins Of The World ), that the physical human body was created by 365 “DEMONS”……and then went on to even name each and every one of them and their contribution (body parts) to the whole (body).
Leo says
Daemons should be your servant. Not having the house in order all kinds of daemons come and go.
There is a defense system but it needs maintenance to keep it in good shape.
Once the defense system is effective one can start to train the daemons inside.
Rejecting suppressing them does not work, a firm and kind attitude does.
And.. . . it takes time and diiscipline.
regards,
leo
Joshua Tilghman says
Thanks Leo. As you know, Demons are thought forms, conditioned from many lifetimes. Living in the present moment and meditation heals and cast them out. The mind is the true temple, and the body conforms.
David says
All “demons” are not thought forms, not in the true sense of the word. We do “create” our own,
temporarily, but there were demons long before man was created. These are those embodied psychic entities that created, rule and govern this present physical reality (creation). In short, this world is an insane asylum. How else can one explain the existence of a place that demands that every living being kill another living being in order for that being to continue living ?
Leo says
Sorry to say. I have been rejecting my own demons long time. I do met people that are confronted with demons of all sorts. I take them seriously.
In my life I have always been afraid to confront my own demons in the lower realms. Been invited to go there with the best support one can imagine. I was scared shitles !~!! I declined.
Last three years i have forced myself with Chinese breathing to go down to the base chakra. I took a 500mg paracetamol between my lips. Thus slowly step by step i could open up.
It is still taking time time to readjust with the other centers, but it is benefical. I no longer need to take the paracetamol (knock on wood). In a dream I got confirmation that my temple is getting restored. The higher powercenter still needs work and that includes a lot a forgiving towards the physical abuse i received from a friar when i was about 11 years old. Some other towards an older brother that paved a way towards hell for his siblings. Towards my educators for making me adapt to the world (eufenism).
Anyway there is progress.
Bless you all.
Russ Bass says
The term”charka” or “reincarnation” for that matter are not even mentioned by the messiah , creator of the universe and ruler of the universe and all that is in it, Jesus Christ. Demons in reference to biblical teaching are in fact disembodied spirits that rebelled with “Satan” against God and were thrown out of heaven to inhabit the earth. Whoever has launched this site or is responsible for it is simply not a believer in the teachings of Jesus the Son of God and is trying to lure unsuspecting truth seekers in a direction of demonic teachings as described throughout the teachings in the bible. Just say no to the information on this web site that is if you are really searching out the truth. Read and believe what the bible says about demons and the devil particularly as taught by Jesus , God’s son , who died on the Cross and was ressurected “not reincarnated{ this is false teaching and by the way a demonic teaching according to the bible } in order to give anyone who believes in him {Jesus} forgiveness of sins and eternal life. any way if you really want to know the truth just simply read your bible don’t look to some website especially this one it seems to be just a bunch bogus unscriptural ” esoteric” {hidden meaning only made available to the enlightened} side trip on route to the truth which is in Jesus and Him alone. Don’t fall for it!
scc says
Amen
Leo says
Just reread again.
Some things just don’t fit in my narrative.
Luke 11 is is used to explain something. Just this month I opened another chakra and indeed the ‘evil outside’ breached me again. Being open to my fellow travellers make this happen. I know and understand that. I am looking to find a loving solution for this occurrence. I would like to bend things toward openness. Still need good approach to that. I invite people to read more about it in Luke 11 and what happens when we open up.
Leo Gerritsen says
i hit the wall again.
now find some solace in ho’oponopono.

toni d. says
hey i’m having difficulties reconciling a metaphorical/symbolic view alone of demons with my personal experience as i have seen other people ne possessed by negative entities and have seen and experienced spiritual attack by negative entities as well. how can i explain these occurences and prevent them/ deal with them?
Gyn says
This was such a good read and made a lot of sense to me. On my spiritual journey and trying to become closer with God I questioned if meditation is right, and if believing in the chakras was right, this made me feel so comfortable and like you found a different understanding and that I see exactly what you see from what I’m learning. So many beliefs and practices tie together but are just addressed differently. I sent this to like 5 people today.
Joshua says
Gyn…
Thank you. I am so glad you enjoyed the article and it made sense to you. And thank you for the shares!
bimsky says
The Bible repeatedly shown us that Devils are able to interact and speak to Jesus Christ.
Yes, they are entities believed to be fallen angels. These entities want us to disobey God
and contaminate us with their evil virtues. They who are fallen want humanity not to succeed
in replacing the dominions they once ruled before the fall.
Joshua says
Bimsky…
Thank you for your comment. But I don’t believe demons are conscious beings which have power over you, whether you are a Christian or not. They are reinforced negative, egoic mindsets consisting of patterns of energy (mind and emotion) which grow stronger then more you stay in and habituate them. Eventually they tear down the etheric energy structure of the body, and this can manifest as physical illness, mental and emotional issues, etc.
Some esoteric literature looks at them as nature spirits that are unconscious, but the key here is that they are UNCONSCIOUS.
Mc rest says
There are energies that make up other 3ntities that share the same frequency or feeling we may be experiencing. I have experienced spirits that are of a evil nature myself but we can use our position and the circumstances to evaluate us and help elevate us . A thought is consciousness…what is a thought of a thought..we can label things but these thoughts you call yourself is a perception of your ego(have been here before you )
Shalini says
If we balance our all 7 chakras one by one even then we have face demons….evil spirits???
N how we come to know that our chakras are balanced
Joshua says
Shalini…
See my comment above. This should answer your question. Thanks.
Shalini says
It means if I balance my all chakras…thn I ll face only positive energy…..and no negative energy (devils)…. actually I just wanna confirm first as I don’t want to face that all…my life is so good…and just because of this I don’t wanna make my life hell….
Plz plz confirm me….I don’t wanna disturb you more
Shalini says
Plz tell the way so that we need not to face these demons
Shalini says
It means if I balance my all chakras…thn I ll face only positive energy…..and no negative energy (devils)…. actually I just wanna confirm first as I don’t want to face that all…my life is so good…and just because of this I don’t wanna make my life hell….
Plz plz confirm me….I don’t wanna disturb you more
Shalini says
Actually wt is happening that whenever I meditate for any chakara whether it’s root or any….bt purple colour visible and when I meditate daily my head starts paining and sometimes dizziness also…I get afraid if kundalini awakes accidently without my chakras balancing then I have to face demons and I ll be gone…..
Plz suggest

Thank you very much for this post. I must say this yours was very helpful to gain knowledge.
I know this sounds crazy but I have seen and dealt with quite many in my mystical states and the physical states. I am Catholic and I travel out of body every night. Today, just today, I took nap and came back with the information and was directed to study about Demonic influences – corresponding to each Chakra.
I was able to find your positing and immediately knew this was it. Only one thing I can speak from my own experiences is that Demon are very smart not dumb. Demons has hierarchy as well and it is true that more lower region they resides, they shows no intelligence but the one control them is very cocky and smart.
Your reincarnation quote is spot on. I am very amazed by that. Thank you!

There is truth. No need to debate. See for yourself. I love you all.

Ok check it .
We are intelligent creatures are we not ?yet we know we are temporary in this life or dimension but we still fight the good fight as tho we are not or we hold on to things that we know are only supposed to be temporary . These are signs of attachments . There are true spirits that are evil and have intelligence. If you yourself know you will lose a war what do you do …take out as many as possible . Prideful nature will make us delusional maybe the enemy thinks he can really win . Look for knowledge we do not have theougj the most high

That is one of the best testimonies I’ve ever heard! Good for you!! You are a warrior….God bless you!! I pray that the light of God shines through you to the point to where the demons can not stand to be anywhere near you, In Yeshua’s mighty name, Amen!

The seven unclean spirits. Fantastic report on this real meaning, absolutely wonderful
Donald says
I find looking at Scripture literally or historically to be of no benefit to me. It’s pretty much irrelevant to me. Was there a historical Jesus, yes, but no one dies for my sins. It’s taking responsibility for ypur own actions for me. Knowing mind and Mind. The Son is Christ, not Jesus. Son of man is Son of Mind. God is Mind. The subconscious is vitally important to tap into. Learned a lot doing shadow work. If people want to believe Jesus died for their sins than that’s fine. It’s sad though it’s pushed on people by the church. We don’t need scapegoats or put blame on others. This is the victim, persecutor, rescuer drama triangle in cognitive behavioral therapy. I can’t fall for that.

@Donald: Brilliant footwork mind of man!! What do you do with Hebrews 9:22?
https://biblehub.com/hebrews/9-22.htm
Joshua Tilghman says
MsRhuby…
“The life is in the blood.”
This is a symbol of the divine in the lower nature. Gen. 9:4 states not to eat the blood. Eating is symbolic of soul nourishment, from which we can not get soul nourishment from the passions of the lower nature.
Hebrews 9:22 is telling, but the next verse even more so. “It is necessary that the Patterns (DIVINE IDEAS) of the things in the heavens should be purified with these…
Karma, suffering, etc., purifies the lower nature.

I agree with many of your thoughts and ideas on this site I have been on my own spiritual journey to enlightenment my faith as a Christian was a steppingstone to where I’m at now I realized that God is above religion but yet he works through religion to reveal divine truths to man kind but one thing I can tell you is demonic spirits are real I know Christian exorcists who can speak to them and can cast them out of a person in fact I’ve had demons cast out of me Demonic spirits that were oppressing my mind and tormenting me just because you may be battling a demonic spirit in your mind does not mean you’re possessed by them let me reiterate because I was never possessed God was with me the whole time and he saw me through to victory so for you to say demon spirits aren’t real just isn’t the truth there is a very real Spiritual realm out there beyond what our eyes can see there are both good angelic spirits and evil spirits who can inhabit human beings but the good news is God and the good spirits are stronger and more powerful than the evil and He sets us free and gives us power over them I am a living testimony to that truth

@Liz, i agree with you that some phenomena have an existence of their own. For this check eggregore and pendulum. The act of casting out : could be attributed to the power of the acting person.
It is interesting to learn how not add to the volume of power of ‘evil’.
Kay Smidgette says
I like that, learn how to not add to the volume of power of evil. This is noteworthy.
Tanya says
You are way off base. You should stop speaking publishing spewing stuff that are fundamentally incorrect. Stop.
Leo aka lkkb says
@Tanya. Please share some personal experience if you will. Or address a specific matter. People here dedicate precious time to research things they are interested in. And they listen to each other, finding new angles to known issues within themselves.
Just attacking a ‘you’ does not deserve a lot of attention.
I am just responding because your message followed mine 🙂

This sounds Agnostic, dealing with demiurges. Demi – half size, partial in an inferior degree. Inferior since they don’t really have power to force, they bug us until we are convinced to do something. Sounds like governments lol. Demons uses the fleshy urges to feed off of us. My theory is that demons are photons cast out of the sun in solar flares (notice they were “cast” out) to earth. Their hell is underground, we maybe the ground and “under” may mean inside of us. Remember every dimension/realm/heaven is inside us all; which means so are the negative things too, polarity integration. In science when the electron has no job, which does happen if it doesn’t have another electron to attach too or another atom to bind/bond with to make two atoms; it will become a photon. Funny how the electron can’t be a proton it goes rogue and becomes a photon. like the devil leaves the group to be a fake god haha. Well, it’s these photons of light that manifest in physical form as worms…. ewww maybe this is why they like animals more; and animals not calling on higher spiritual help. Animals are dirty and demons live in filth due to the low frequency a dirty environment resonates.

fascinating! thank you– Reminds me of the vision I was gifted a few years ago. Holy Spirit called me to reveal to my mother about my having been abused for years in our home as a teenager. Initially the timing was perfect as I was given a dream of how it would go and it did. But then as time went on, months later she lost it and was back in her private ‘hell’. As she was screaming at me, I had a vision of disgusting little creatures stuck living in mud..nasty!! they were trying to pull at my feet to get me down with them. I began screaming to save myself to Jesus and was brought into the light and into peace. I went to my mentors house and cried and told the entire frightening story.
