No. Stress is stress. Demons are demons. Dawkings is an idiot who avoid empirical facts like I avoid PUFA.It’s stress, and yes, stress is a demon

Who mentioned Dawkins?No. Stress is stress. Demons are demons. Dawkings is an idiot who avoid empirical facts like I avoid PUFA.
I'm sorry. I misread the author of the book and posted too aggressively.Who mentioned Dawkins?
Conspiracy culture: Covid is likely a plandemic and more people are dying from the harmful house arrests, economy crash, decimation of jobs and small businesses, oxymoronic "social distancing", suicide and famine than the sensationalized 'rona "associated" death figures.Boy, you really anticipated the whole demon sperm thing. You are truly ahead of the curve.
It seems this may be an adaptation of Christian / monotheistic folklore basically.The term comes from the medieval legend of the succubus (plural succubi), demons who take the form of attractive women to seduce men and draw energy from them, often until the point of exhaustion or death of the victim.[4] According to the Malleus Maleficarum, a book about witchcraft which was banned on 1490 by the Catholic Church, succubi would collect semen from the men they slept with, which incubi (demons who take the form of attractive man) would then use to impregnate women.[6]

yes i wonder how many women with PMS and progesterone deficiency actually have a uterus floating somewhere in the noosphere! if only we had a chant for locating the lost uterus...I wonder how many schizophrenics have been exorcised as opposed to prescribed...It would be an interesting stat(not for pharma or people who want to ignore the spiritual realities in which we exist).
I feel for people who are tormented...and pray for them...

To be frank I was part of an exorcism at 13 and also given psychiatric drugs around the same time mostly because I was an outspoken and rebellious teenager who just wanted the freedom to hang out with my friends like my brother was granted by rite of his gender. It’s kind of frustrating to read the reversion to dark age explanations and surely supports the current dystopian delusional mania the entire planet has been infected with. Sincerely, a recovered religious fanatic and schizophrenic.Truth is @raysputin i don’t know where science stops and the spirit starts. I wish it was as simple as taking a supplement and everybodies issues would be resolved. I will say that I don’t think every case is related to possession. Far from it but in rare cases it could be a real thing. When you have the answers to all of life’s questions, send me your notes please... I’d like to learn from you

I guess my perception of a demon would be an energy form anthropomorphized to have human characteristics. I consider the demonic possession explanation ignorant because there is a legitimate body of research and therapy that has been suppressed and is no where in practice for treating schizophrenia and that is what I find most painful to accept, that there are people who are incredibly ill and could be living much more fulfilling lives if we actually just stuck to the science we do have.Well I’m sorry to hear about your experience and as I said, I think it may be more of a rare occurrence(possession) than common (as you pointed out from your own experience) but I still have to disagree. This isn’t a one size fits all thing and neither you nor I really know the depth of spiritual matters. If you think everything can be scientifically measured,validated and repaired,that’s fine....Calling it dark age or ignorant(my word) is just a little dismissive when you can’t prove something one way or another. I’m not here to argue with you so I say no more
Well said. Also, it's pointless to argue with these people. @Hugh Johnson made some great points in his third post.Well I’m sorry to hear about your experience and as I said, I think it may be more of a rare occurrence(possession) than common (as you pointed out from your own experience) but I still have to disagree.

yes, it is magnificent what nutrition and human connection can do for a brain, i would agree with you there.Well said. Also, your right, it's pointless to argue with these people. @Hugh Johnson made some great points in his third post here.
Also, alleviating symptoms with B-vitamins doesn't disprove the possibility of an intelligence existing within the mind realm which has the ability to effect the mind as well as things in the physical. The mind is extremely complex and magnificent.
