Experiencing distress when exposed to Holy ash ( Vibhūti), Holy water ( Tirthā), Holy sacrament ( Prasād), etc. Jones, Lindsay (2005). Encyclopedia of Religion. Vol.13 (2ed.). Detroit, MI: Macmillan Reference USA. p.8687. ISBN 0-02-865733-0. The concept of spirit possession exists in the culture of modern Rajasthan. Some of the spirits allegedly possessing Rajasthanis are seen as good and beneficial, while others are seen as malevolent. The good spirits are said to include murdered royalty, the underworld god Bhaironji, and Muslim saints & fakirs. Bad spirits are believed to include perpetual debtors who die in debt, stillborn infants, deceased widows, and foreign tourists. The supposedly possessed individual is referred to as a ghorala, or "mount". Possession, even if by a benign spirit, is regarded as undesirable, as it is seen to entail loss of self-control, and violent emotional outbursts. [104]Devaputra-māra, the deva of the sensuous realm, who tries to prevent Gautama Buddha from attaining liberation from the cycle of rebirth on the night of the Buddha's enlightenment. [99] A belief in spirit possession appears among the Xesibe, a Xhosa-speaking people from Transkei, South Africa. The majority of the supposedly possessed are married women. The condition of spirit possession among them is called inwatso. Those who develop the condition of inwatso are regarded as having a special calling to divine the future. They are first treated with sympathy, and then with respect as they allegedly develop their abilities to foretell the future. [70] The New Testament indicates that people can be possessed by demons, but that the demons respond and submit to Jesus Christ's authority: Irmak concludes that ‘it is time for medical professions to consider the possibility of demonic possession in the etiology of schizophrenia’ and that ‘it would be useful for medical professions to work together with faith healers to define better treatment pathways for schizophrenia’ (p. 776). Some theologians, such as Ángel Manuel Rodríguez, say that mediums, like the ones mentioned in Leviticus 20:27, were possessed by demons. Another possible case of demonic possession in the Old Testament includes the false prophets that King Ahab relied upon before re-capturing Ramoth-Gilead in 1 Kings 22. They were described as being empowered by a deceiving spirit. [6]

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences. 70 (12): 551–559. doi: 10.1111/pcn.12425. PMID 27485275. S2CID 24609757. Kleśa-māra, or māra as the embodiment of all unskillful emotions, such as greed, hate, and delusion. The Urapmin people of the New Guinea Highlands practice a form of group possession known as the "spirit disco" ( Tok Pisin: spirit disko). [112] Men and women gather in church buildings, dancing in circles and jumping up and down while women sing Christian songs; this is called "pulling the [Holy] spirit" ( Tok Pisin: pulim spirit, Urap: Sinik dagamin). [112] [113] The songs' melodies are borrowed from traditional women's songs sung at drum dances (Urap: wat dalamin), and the lyrics are typically in Telefol or other Mountain Ok languages. [113] If successful, some dancers will "get the spirit" (Tok Pisin: kisim spirit), flailing wildly and careening about the dance floor. [112] After an hour or more, those possessed will collapse, the singing will end, and the spirit disco will end with a prayer and, if there is time, a Bible reading and sermon. [112] The body is believed to normally be "heavy" (Urapmin: ilum) with sin, and possession is the process of the Holy Spirit throwing the sins from one's body, making the person "light" ( fong) again. [112] This is a completely new ritual for the Urapmin, who have no indigenous tradition of spirit-possession. [112] Micronesia [ edit ]The attraction of the article to the editor might be explained by the following sentence in the abstract: “A local faith healer in our region helps the patients with schizophrenia. His method of treatment seems to be successful because his patients become symptom free after 3 months.” Some may think, “I certainly don’t feel like I am possessed”, this is because the word ‘possessed’ may conjure up images of possession in movies such as ‘The Exorcist’ and ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’. In fact, in almost all cases the possessed person does not know that they are possessed, until it manifests in a dramatic way as it did in Emily Rose’s case. This is because in most cases the process of possession happens gradually over a period of many years. Also with progressive control over the person’s consciousness, the ghost eventually captures the mind and intellect of the possessed person so completely that the person’s thoughts and instincts are in fact of the possessing entity.

There are indications that trance-related practices might have played a role in the prophetic experiences of adherents of Yahwism. According to Martti Nissinen, Yahwist prophets may have received messages from the different gods and goddesses in the Yahwist Pantheon through a state of trance possession. This theory can be reconstructed from Sumerian Mythology, a similar theology to that of Yahwism, where the standard prophetic designations in the Akkadian language, muḫḫûm/muḫḫūtum (masc./fem., Old Babylonian) and maḫḫû/maḫḫūtu (masc./fem., Neo-Assyrian), are derived from the Akkadian verb maḫû "to become crazy, to go into a frenzy." [89] According to bible scholar Simon B. Parker, trance rituals may have occurred such as nudity or a less extreme alternative, a trance where the person to enter trance receives the god or spirit into their body. [90]Anthropologist Aihwa Ong noted that spirit possession beliefs in Malaysia were typically held by older, married women, whereas the female factory workers are typically young and unmarried. She connects this to the rapid industrialization and modernization of Malaysia. Ong argued that spirit possession is a traditional way of rebelling against authority without punishment, and suggests that it is a means of protesting the untenable working conditions and sexual harassment that the women were compelled to endure. [109] The Americas and Caribbean [ edit ] Indo-Caribbean Shaktism [ edit ] Spiritually curious people often ask the question ‘How do people get possessed by ghosts’? The act of possession typically goes through four generic steps. These steps can take place in a few moments or sometimes can take many months. This article explains this process in detail. 2.
