CHAPTER XIX - DISOBSESSION
Disobsession is best achieved within the fluidic currents organised by the Superior Astral in Christian Rationalist centres. In the public seances for spiritual cleansing purposes which are held in the Redemptor Centre and its branch centres, two obsessed persons are seated on a suitably designed chair at the end of the seance table (one on each side and facing each other, next to the "respondent"*) and each surrounded by three "supports"**. The latter watch the obsessed persons closely and apply the "shaking" technique. From time to time he or she is offered a drink of fluidic water.
The purpose of the "shaking" technique is to facilitate the removal of the obsessor spirit from the body of the obsessed person by the spirits of the Superior Astral. The obsessed person often struggles on the chair, thereby disclosing the activity of the obsessor spirit which stubbornly tries to hold on to its victim. If necessary, the obsessed person's feet, hands and waist are tied to the chair in order to prevent him from hurting himself due to sometimes violent contortions.
Meanwhile the "supports" irradiate confidently, thus strengthening the current and facilitating the process of disobsession. In the meantime the seance follows its untroubled course and none of the participants, including the person presiding, pays the slightest attention to the complaints or protests raised by the obsessed person. As soon as the obsessor spirit is dragged away, the obsessed person quiets down and develops a feeling of exhaustion due to the loss of animistic life drawn by the obsessor spirit
However, he is not yet cured. The cellular upheaval caused by the obsessor was too great, and now his system needs to return to equilibrium. In this case, if he cannot depend on the assistance of relatives or friends who are able to apply the discipline and corrective measures recommended by Christian Rationalism, that person is bound to attract another obsessor, among the millions that roam Earth's atmosphere, thereby making his cure more difficult or even impossible.
* By definition, the person seated across from the president, who closes the cycle after indoctrination.
** By definition, the person or persons who uphold the action of the Superior Forces.
Nevertheless, if people at home will help, by irradiating around the obsessed person during 5 minutes twice a day and shaking him in the process, disobsession will take place quickly provided other measures are not required due to the person's disturbed condition.
As a rule, obsessed people harbour the same desires as those of the obsessors, one of which is for strongly flavoured, spicy foods. For this reason, during treatment a bland diet should be administered, which is not favoured by obsessors.
One should not lose sight of the fact that the spirits of the lowest level of the Inferior Astral cultivate the same habits and vices that they entertained while incarnated. Thus, in order to meet the demands of their materialised "ego", they eagerly cling to their affinitive incarnate, so as to gratify them, no matter how illusively. This peculiarity should not be dismissed in the treatment of obsession.
Treatment of the obsessed should proceed until they are cured, with regular attendance at the psychical cleansing seances held in Rationalist centres where the discipline already described is administered.
There they will listen to indoctrinations and, notwithstanding their still disturbed condition, some of what they hear will remain imprinted on their astral bodies and will benefit them. Their escorts will thereby also improve their knowledge of spiritual matters, which will enable them to deal with disobsession at home.
Each one of the millions of obsessors roaming the Inferior Astral has its own likes and dislikes and they choose their incarnated victims according to the degree of affinity perceived or to their own feelings towards those victims. Affinitive thoughts are always a magnet of attraction.
There are those that enjoy alcoholic beverages, those that were and continue to be gastronomers, the smokers and the slaves of other vices, all engaged in gratifying their intemperate cravings. The harmonic vibrations of the obsessor work together, merge, adjust to those of the obsessed. They tie in so closely that it becomes difficult to separate them.
Disobsession of a hateful, vindictive person is always questionable. Sheltering hate and ill will is a sign of an inferior spirituality and the entertainment of such feelings makes that person a permanent prey of inferior spirits. In such cases the psychic condition is incurable because the obsessed person's free will is used for evil purposes.
After disobsessions, when the obsessed person is psychically cleansed, it is necessary to strengthen the patient's spirit and body, both damaged by harmful of his will and disciplining of his thinking patterns.
In this second stage of disobsession success is more difficult to attain because it depends on retraining of the will and reaction against future obsessions. The vices stirred up by the obsessors become so ingrained in the spirit that only with much effort can they be uprooted. Under the influence of Rationalist discipline, the obsessed begins to reason and to overcome his own vices plus those that were aroused by the obsessors. When he is able to control himself, the patient will no longer fall victim to obsession.
The cure of obsessed children will be achieved by disobsessing and enlightening their parents and other people they interact with about the Rationalist principles. These children should undergo treatment through faithful attendance within the fluidic currents of Rationalist centres.
Obsessed children may also be helped by a change of environment. When removed from an ambience where the spirits of the Inferior Astral act ( attracted by vices and evil thoughts of adults), they may benefit by changing to an environment that is ruled by the principles explained in this book.
