Is it true that the churches are sold to evil spirits. Holy fathers about dark forces. About "vie" n. gogol: why evil spirits could break into the church

Corruption is recognized in Orthodoxy as a phenomenon associated with demonic influence on a person's energy potential. Discussing the confrontation between black and light forces, their role in people's lives, the clergy were divided in opinion.

Speaking of corruption or the evil eye, many priests express complete confidence that a Christian who truly believes in the power of God will never have a negative attachment that will greatly ruin his health and change his life.

Corruption primarily threatens people who consider themselves atheists, reject the existence of Higher Forces, claim that the world is material, and spirits cannot exist in it for the reason that the human eye cannot see them. Militant atheism is still present as a worldview in society, which makes it possible for lower forces to do Evil with impunity. Servants of Satan easily take possession of the energy potential of people who frivolously deny the spiritual subtle worlds invisible to the human eye.

Are religion and magic related?

Religion and black magic are closely related concepts, the purpose of which is the desire to control the minds of people. Religion is one of the forms of social consciousness. There are many religions in the world that give their adherents definitions related to such concepts as:

  • Faith;
  • Soul;
  • Sin;
  • Fate;
  • Dogma;
  • Holy Scriptures;
  • Life after death.

In any religion there are clergy who insist that only they have the full right to talk with God and ask him for their sinful parishioners. For this, sacred rites are prescribed, temples are being built where services are held. Each church, in which many people gather to read divine texts, eventually becomes a place of power, where there is a powerful energy flow that feeds the religious egregore, giving protection and prosperity to all who are connected to it.

It cannot be denied that the Orthodox Church, which has accumulated vast practical experience in the fight against demon-possessed people, called corrupted in everyday life, has excellent platforms for their treatment. It is difficult to find a better place than a church where demons melt like wax from the face of fire, and corruption goes away with them.

Black magic is opposed to the divine principle. It is an ancient teaching associated with archaic beliefs and rituals that allow you to call demons into service and induce severe damage. The Christian world and black books have been fighting among themselves for a long time. In Christianity, which has existed for more than 2 thousand years, there is a practical experience of casting out demons.

The word "magic" is used when they want to confirm that a certain person turns to secret forces in order to influence human energy in order to change events in someone else's life path with the help of supernatural forces, which is called the word "corruption." Priests successfully used black magic in temples in the pre-Christian period, and its adherents still have a militant attitude towards the official church, despite the fact that the divine principle always suppresses the machinations of Satan.

The struggle between the dark and light forces for each soul is constantly taking place, and the Devil rejoices at any victory.

How do Christians relate to the concept of corruption

Priests agree that human energy is increasingly suffering from the impact of negative targeted programs that are being introduced into the biofield of an unprotected person. This is especially observed in people who consider themselves Christians, but do not go to church.

The Church condemns people who interpret the words “evil eye” and “corruption” too broadly, subsuming under this concept diseases received due to an incorrect lifestyle or old age. The negative attitude of clergy towards superstitious people who blame a third force for all misfortunes is by the fact that Christianity considers God to be a force more powerful than which there is on earth. All people who live according to God's commandments and sincerely repent of their sins can count on the protection of the Almighty from corruption and demons.

The clergy remind that God, without his will, will not let a hair fall from a person’s head, but if he loses the grace of God received at baptism, then his soul can be captured by demons, which is manifested by symptoms of corruption. A novice Christian must strengthen his faith, know and understand the fundamentals of the doctrine of the Christian Church, and try with all his might to live according to the law of God. When such requirements are met, damage as a phenomenon is not terrible for him.

If an accident occurs, hard times come, or the body is struck by an incurable disease, all this should be considered not as damage, but as God's warning to presumptuous people who knew no limits in their impunity.

The Orthodox Church always reminds its parishioners that a person who violates the commandments of Christ becomes an easy prey for demons.

Drug addiction, alcoholism, hysteria, laziness, indifference to life, uncleanliness - all these are signs that the soul is enslaved by lower beings. Such people should pray earnestly in order to expel the carriers of negative programs from their bodies. Representatives of the Council of Bishops urge inappropriately behaving people to come to the church walls who suddenly began to show signs of mental illness, but psychiatry cannot cure them.

Patriarch Kirill declared publicly that such people can be helped by the ritual of exorcism. The church has in its arsenal powerful religious attributes, with the help of which it manages to defeat its longtime rival.

What do priests say about corruption

Priests, by the nature of their activities, resist demons and express their opinion about such a phenomenon as corruption. Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov confirms the fact of the existence of corruption, which takes place both in the world and among church employees. He affirmatively answers questions about the presence of corruption in the life of any person, as a result of the influence of demons on a soul that has been tempted and departed from God.

Pointing to the fact that God is the main force in the Universe, he claims that an Orthodox person who believes in the Holy Trinity is completely protected by his faith, because nothing can disturb his life without God's knowledge. Smirnov believes that if a person recognizes that there are impure forces equal in strength to God, thereby he refuses his protection and help and gives himself up to their power.

Priest Mikhail Vorobyov, rector of the temple, believes that any suffering is only for the benefit of everyone. One can become a man in the true sense of the word only by patiently carrying one's own cross, which is destined by fate. The illnesses and misfortunes that have befallen a Christian allow him to discover his real self and free himself from alluvial and unnecessary garbage. People who have suffered and lost a lot are much more tolerant and kinder than those who have lived all their lives, like in Christ's bosom. This priest claims that all people experience suffering at some point in their lives, and they should not be taken as the result of someone's negative program, which is called corruption.

Priest Alexander Yermolin calls not to think about corruption as a phenomenon, but simply to live a rich spiritual life. A Christian can either be under the protection of God or fall into the hands of his opponent. Sincere daily prayer and regular church attendance protects against any demonic attacks and corruption.

Daniil Sysoev urged to observe the 9 commandments so that the punishment does not touch sinful heads. The Priest Daniil Sysoev Missionary Center continues to spread the ideas of this clergyman, who during his lifetime constantly warned Christians about the dangers awaiting them if they renounce God and his commandments.

Father Andrei Kuraev agrees that fallen spirits can enter the souls and lives of people if they consciously turn to them. A baptized person who decides to turn to the occult world for a miracle runs the risk of being possessed by demons and, along with them, symptoms of corruption, because no one has investigated the question of the boundaries of the influence of fallen spirits on the life of Christians.

Which saints have statements about corruption

The Church has well studied the issue of demons, starting from the time of the persecution of Christians, and speaks of them as a force that an Orthodox person can control only with the help of the Divine grace of the Holy Spirit, bestowed on him for the divine merits of the God-man, our Lord Jesus Christ. It makes insignificant all the intrigues and evil tricks of Satan and his servants.

The Holy Fathers often spoke about the dark forces that they had to resist. In the first conciliar epistle of the holy Apostle Peter in chapter 5 there is a warning to all Christians about the danger that Satan brings. The apostle described the Devil as God's adversary, who walks like a vicious lion, and is looking for someone to lure into his nets. It can only be resisted with firm faith.

Everyone who has renounced God in his soul, violates the commandments of the Lord, comes to a spiritual fall, which many call corruption.

The Orthodox view of demons from the point of view of the church is terrifying with its characteristics given to these representatives of the lower world, invisible to uninitiated people. Seraphim of Sarov claimed to have seen them with his own eyes. These are vile entities that arbitrarily fell away from God and turned from angels of light into angels of darkness. He called them abominations that cannot be portrayed by human likeness, so the artists represent them as black, ugly, with horns and hooves. The priest in a conversation said that the fallen angels have irresistible power for the whole earthly world. With one of their claws, they can turn the whole life of a once prosperous person, if he allows it to be done.

The holy righteous John of Kronstadt spoke of the fact that Satan constantly disputes him with God and is only waiting for the moment when he stumbles on his life path. He urged parishioners to stand firm on the defensive and not allow demons to enslave the soul.

Elder Paisius the Holy Mountaineer argued that the black forces of darkness are powerless if one overshadows oneself in time with the sign of the cross and pronounces the words of a protecting prayer. This elder said that demon-possessed people themselves gave the evil spirit the right to infiltrate the soul and command their consciousness, because they began to move away from God.

All these statements confirm that demons, whose impact on the energy potential in everyday life is called damage, are an undoubted phenomenon of the other world. This is how the Holy Church and the Holy Fathers always relate to this phenomenon.

How to get rid of damage to an Orthodox person

Corruption in Orthodoxy is associated only with the concept of demon possession, and you can get rid of it by performing certain ritual actions. Church weapons against corruption become:

  • Holy water;
  • prayers;
  • miraculous icons;
  • confessions;
  • participle.

If they have spoiled a person who has lost faith in God's protection, then he needs to repent at confession. This church ritual is used so that a person can reconcile with God, who is so far away from him that he cannot hear him outside the walls of the church. During this sacrament, the Christian repents of his misdeeds in the presence of a witness-priest and promises not to repeat them. After the end of the ritual, the priest will pray for the forgiveness of the sins of the confessing Christian.

Before confession, a confidential conversation takes place, where a demon-possessed person tells the clergyman everything that worries him. In such a conversation, the holy father finds out what reasons led the Christian to this situation.

What churches do they attend

Cleansing from corruption can take place in temples built in honor of the great martyr and healer Panteleimon, who dedicated his life to the suffering, the sick, the poor and the poor. Within the walls of the Panteleimon Church, all those who believe in the power of God receive relief from corruption after a cleansing prayer.

The Church always helps those who suffer from corruption and the evil eye, but it is important to independently strengthen the faith that a person is born in the likeness of God, and no one can harm him. In difficult moments of life, they pray near the icon of the Mother of God. The miraculous Kazan icon will help you to get stronger in spirit and withstand all adversity.

If a person considers himself right, doing evil, disposes of someone else's fate as his own, and at the same time goes to church and asks God for help, illness and trouble will not pass him by. And this can be seen as working off karma, which psychics constantly talk about.

Representatives of all religions and occult teachings agree that the punishment for sins is coming.

To stop people who consider themselves zealous Christians but do evil, the church reminds them that sin will always be punished. In the Church of Elijah the Prophet in Moscow there is an Icon of the Mother of God, which has the second name "Unexpected Joy". The history of its creation goes back to the 16th century, when Dmitry Rostovsky wrote a parable about a sinner who suddenly repented of his sins in a church where he went to pray before starting an evil deed.

This miraculous icon is revered in Russia, because it gives a repentant sinner who prayed to God for help in an evil deed, after which he turned away from him, unexpected joy. Lists of this icon are available in several Moscow churches. Especially revered is the miraculous list available in the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior on the Sands. This icon needs to be prayed to by everyone who believes that everyone around is to blame for his troubles, and sends damage and evil eye.

Visiting a temple, reading a prayer, cleansing the energy with candles - all these actions are recommended by the healers of our center, who see how the restoration of the patient's energy shell is progressing by the state of the aura.

Is it considered a sin to remove damage not in the church

The ministers of the Christian church have a negative attitude towards representatives of other egregors who use their knowledge and practical experience to fight demons. The clergy claim that the removal of damage from the witch, who whispers conspiracies over the water, which in essence are a free retelling of sacred prayers, do more harm than good. They call such treatment a sin, because one frightened, but not expelled demon will bring with it 7 more similar entities, which will worsen the mental state of a person.

It is difficult to disagree with this statement. If you use Christian prayers to remove corruption, then you need to listen or read them in their full version, which has a powerful exorcising power.

Psychic masters who successfully work to destroy corruption and the evil eye are much stronger than grandmothers who are unfamiliar with the doctrine of the great Universe, which carries the Divine principle and bestows energy on all living beings on earth.

A clairvoyant master, an energetically advanced person who has undergone special training, is in harmony with himself and has access to the upper layers of the Universe, where he draws strength to work on removing damage. He can see the pathological form of the aura, restore its form, put up protection.

Among the masters there are people who work as conductors of divine power. They ask God for help, and he, mighty and kind, like a real Father, helps the master heal a sick person from a negative program that caused damage, and embark on the true path.

Further preventive treatment, a person freed from demons, must take place within the walls of the church, where a powerful Christian egregor protects from the influence of evil spirits, called damage in everyday life.

In a society where people are fond of esoteric practices, shamanism, black magic, or adhere to atheistic sentiments, occasionally attend church, it is difficult to determine whether it is considered a sin to remove corruption with the help of a person practicing esoteric methods of diagnosis and treatment. The main thing in this matter is the cleansing of energy from negative programs and the restoration of vitality.

A clairvoyant master can help a possessed person, who, with the help of black magic, was able to bring severe damage, find out if the healing process has begun, if additional rituals are required that are not available in the church.

ABOUT N. GOGOL'S VIE: WHY COULD THE EVIL BREAK INTO THE CHURCH?

Regarding "Viy", I was always struck by one question: how evil spirits could just break into the temple (moreover, as Gogol writes: "The whirlwind went up the church, icons fell to the ground, broken windows flew down from top to bottom. The doors broke off with a hinge, and countless the power of monsters flew into God's church"), and what did the author want to say by this (and Gogol, mind you, although he collected Little Russian legends, he is far from being a simple copyist)? Is it really that faith, they say, is a fiction, and church walls are not able to protect against evil spirits, if it comes to a serious attack ... It is unlikely, given that Nikolai Vasilyevich himself was a believer, a Christian. Then why is that?

Perhaps the solution to this mystery begins with the answer to the main question: who is Khoma Brut, what kind of person is he in general? He studies at the seminary - an institution that seems to have the most direct relationship to the Orthodox faith, right? Undoubtedly. But can this philosopher-seminarian be considered Orthodox? Very unlikely. It's not even that Khoma is not averse to go on a spree, fornicate, swear, steal something, etc. - this is sometimes the sin of the orthodox. But a Christian differs from a non-Christ in that he knows the word "repentance." With Brutus, who should have known about repentance both in theory and in practice, it does not appear anywhere. Though with witches, though without witches. But this is not the worst. The terrible thing is that in the most difficult moments of his life he never once expressed hope in God. Not on spells, not on himself, but on Christ. Here, for example, is what he does when he finds himself under a witch in a demonic leap: "Exhausted, confused, he began to remember all the prayers he knew. He went through all the spells against the spirits." For people like Homa, prayer = spell. Efficiency is important, not the one to whom you are addressing. Not a word about the Savior. And later, in the church, this is expressed even more clearly. One can say that half of hell has attacked you - so turn sincerely to the One Who trampled hell, say: "Lord, have mercy, Lord, protect!" But Khoma doesn’t even have this sincerity: only stupid self-confidence (“what am I, not a Cossack?” - your “Cossacks” give a damn about relations with the other world, by and large) and animal fear that confused all the prayers in my head.

Of course, these two will not save.

There is another, so to speak, very intimate nuance. Who read the work, remember how Homa behaves after prayers or spells weakened the witch, and they sank lower. He jumps on the back of the enemy even when they have descended to the ground (“The thick grass touched him, and he no longer saw anything unusual in it”). If the "unfortunate" seminarian had done this at a height of five meters, the question of why this was so would not have arisen - in order not to break, of course. But on earth? After all, he could have run away, casting spells, if they stopped the demonic lady. He could simply escape "with the speed of lightning", without jumping on her back, stand on this grass and defend himself. It works! But, you look - on the contrary, he is eager to continue the race. Because of which? "He felt a demonically sweet feeling, he felt some kind of piercing, some kind of agonizingly terrible pleasure." Even the ghostly body of a mermaid caused him not so much fear as lust. Here, perhaps, is the answer - the wild fear was mixed with the fact that the prodigal, demonic, murderous beginning of the witch was actually close to Khoma. He, too, lived in a satanic way in a certain sense. He needed the continuation of the race, he wanted this "pleasure". He beat the witch with a log to death, one might say, with gusto. But when she turned into a beauty, only then something like pity woke up in Khoma. The typical logic of a carnivorous, lamenting not about the living being itself, but about what in it is capable of appeasing and delivering pleasure.

And through this, the evil spirits subsequently had power over him, clinging to his own vices. In principle, nothing surprising. So it is in real life.

By the way, the annotation to the film "Viy" (Russia, 2009) contains similar thoughts: "The scientist begins an investigation. Soon he will find out that Viy really exists. Viy. It is not Viy himself who is terrible, a harmless creature, but his gaze. It is worth any mortal to look Viy in the eyes, as all the sins, fears, horrors and passions that were in the dark soul of the one who looked, a host of demons rush to the unfortunate. A man is pure by nature can look into Viu's eyes without fear" (hence). It seems that the film director guessed Gogol's idea in general terms.

They say that there is no such character as Gogol's Viy in its pure form in Slavic mythology (as well as gnomes in general, which are from German legends), but this is a mix of several demonological images. But it seems that Gogol's work itself is only a stylization of a folk story, but in reality everything is much more complicated. This is the drama of one defiled temple at the level of the microcosm, that is, of man.

And with the farm church, not everything is as simple as it might seem. Here is her description: "The wooden church, blackened, covered with green moss, with three cone-shaped domes, stood despondently almost on the edge of the village. It was noticeable that no service had been held in it for a long time." It is somehow strange - a farm fifty miles from Kyiv (if one verst is about 1,066.8 meters, then this is more than 53 km), it is clear that every Sunday you don’t run into the liturgy and you don’t run into a cart. An Orthodox Christian must go to church at least once a week. If there was another church on the farm, where services would be held regularly, then, of course, the newly-departed lady would be taken there. But it wasn't, apparently.

So, nothing was served in the temple, people simply did not go to church. Nikolai Vasilievich describes himself with obvious regret: “They approached the church and stepped under its dilapidated wooden vaults, which showed how little the owner of the estate cared about God and his soul” ...

If this didn’t bother them, it’s no wonder that all sorts of evil spirits started up there, such as pannochek-ghouls. As they say, where the spiritual corpse is, there the vultures fly. There was no frequent Eucharist, and what are the walls of the temple without it? The Church lives by the Body and Blood of God, if it does not exist... If it does not exist due to the unwillingness of people, the Lord can allow the desecration of His icons. Not because demons have power over them. Just sometimes only through such shocking things it comes to people - this is all because they desecrate another icon - the Image and Likeness of God in themselves.

Reasoning at the last stage, if I may say so. There is no one to clean the moss from the church. Nobody serves in the church. Before the shrine was trampled by demons according to the book, it was abandoned and put to shame by people. And no wonder what happened, how it happened. Late, I, apparently, realized that it was not in the walls ...

Do you know what's the scariest thing about "Vie" for me? Far from gnomes and not the death of Khoma. The reaction of Gorobets and Freebie to the news of the death of their comrade:

So God gave him, - said the ringer Freebie. - Let's go to the tavern and remember his soul!

The young philosopher, who, with the ardor of an enthusiast, began to exercise his rights, so that his trousers, and frock coat, and even his hat reeked of alcohol and tobacco roots, at the same moment expressed his readiness.

Homa was a glorious man! - said the bell-ringer, when the lame tavern-keeper placed the third mug in front of him. - He was a noble man! And disappeared for nothing.

And I know why he disappeared: because he was afraid. And if he was not afraid, then the witch could not do anything with him. You just need to cross yourself and spit on her very tail, then nothing will happen. I already know all this. After all, in Kyiv all the women who sit in the market are all witches. To this the ringer nodded his head in agreement. But, noticing that his tongue could not utter a single word, he cautiously got up from the table and, staggering on both sides, went to hide in the most remote place in the weeds. And he did not forget, according to his former habit, to drag off the old sole from the boot, lying on the bench.

Not only that, it turns out, God gave Homa pride, fornication and cowardice (by the way, wow "glorious"). But none of these commemorators even thought, horrified that he himself could be in the place of the late philosopher. And there is nothing to say about repentance. They will walk and dig further, as can be seen from the finale.

The hysterical report of the district police officer Artamonov from the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kolpashevsky district of the Tomsk region made a rustle.

“A family near Tomsk was attacked by evil spirits”: priests and policemen are sure of this

“... On February 12, 2018, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received a message from Natalya Vikentievna Zhukova, resident. p. Marax, that something strange is happening in the house, objects are flying around the house, including knives. A PA-31 was sent to the indicated address, and the responsible from the management and the acting head of the department traveled.

<…>Residents of the house said that for two days the inexplicable happens in the house: books, cutlery fly, cabinets fall.


While the police officers were at the address, a closet fell in the bedroom (in the immediate vicinity of the officer), then books fell out of the hanging shelf, a stick flew out of the room in which no one was.

To Marax with a cry of "Give me a poltergeist!" journalists rushed to Kolpashevo, a check from the central office went to Kolpashevo (she herself saw how the checkers were met at the service "Niva"), and the pensioners Zhukovs living in a "bad house" first told how the 14-year-old teenager Igor Yakovlev, who was under their care, "on the forehead an egg flew in, ”and then they fell silent.

And only the Kolpashevskaya diocese did not back down: things in the village house were moving, the priest himself saw it. The stirring of objects is a manifestation of dark evil forces.

UNKIND WOMAN

Kolpashevo - two-story wooden barracks, 300 kilometers from Tomsk.

The mistress of the poltergeist house meets me before closing the doors:

Go, go away from here, everything is fine with us, if only the journalists would not go! What? Do you want to talk to the owner? I'm jealous! I have a rock!

The owner Alexander Ivanovich shrugs his shoulders guiltily: if only there were not an angry fury at hand ... Natalya Vikentyevna has a puffy earthy face and glasses with thick glasses, the house is poor, but nothing moves. I mumble

It's good that everything is over for you, others suffer for five years.

Zhukova shouts in response:

Let them suffer, I will not regret anyone!

Ah, good woman.


BOY WITH DIAGNOSIS

The fact that she did not follow Igor, says the owner of the store, is a fact. If a child goes to school on September 1, and he has sleeves to the elbow, trousers to the knee, all the buttons are different - what is it called? This Zhukova receives money for guardianship (the form of placement in the family is paid guardianship. - Ed.), And at least 50 rubles to give to the child’s pocket so that he does not beg ...

- And what, Igor begs?

Yes, and today in the store there was: “Aunt Ir, do you need to throw snow off the roof?” Every day looking for kalym. He is not the first among the Zhukovs: first there were brother and sister Bannikovs, then the Yakovlevs ... The way to earn money is this: they take children from the boarding school under guardianship, they turn 18 - they fly out from under the roof on the same day. My daughter walked in gold, with a chain on her leg, and this, boarding school, they took the cheapest dumplings with cabbage in my store. And after all, they give orphans to such parents ...

What a twist! Until now, the authorities have characterized the family positively: non-drinkers, raised two of their own and eight adopted children, mother, Natalya Vikentievna, once worked as a teacher, ward Igor sings beautifully, won the diocesan competition.

But in Marax they say that Zhukova did not work at a school, but in the very boarding school from which she takes her children.

Teacher Olga Sukhushina:

The child is special, undeveloped: he is 14, development is somewhere around 12, we send such people to the commission ... He comes - there is no pen, no ruler: I already bring mine to school, he takes it - he does not return it. The child does not have the simplest cell phone, he came to the song contest in such boots that the director of the club went and bought shoes for his own money! And in guardianship they say: "The child is provided for the season." Zhukova has a very good relationship with guardianship, since they give her so many orphans! I have already been threatened with dismissal, but there is no strength: the eighth child comes to us from these Zhukovs! And to orphan the children for the second time is a pity, and boiled!

In guardianship, they really categorically rejected the slanders of local residents, but I was more interested in the words “The child is special, we send such people to the commission.”

Igor with a certificate, he even eats for free, - the boy's classmate Diana Deeva said bluntly. - Sometimes he walks dirty, the guys humiliate him. He told at school that dad is kind, and mom beats him ...

Okay, the situation is clear: the family ended up with skeletons in the closet, the child was diagnosed.

Could it have seemed to Igor that he had become an object of otherworldly forces?

FORBIDDEN TO SPEAK

In the morning I am on duty in the store: having learned that there is a journalist in the village, the Zhukovs bring and take the ward to school by car.

At the first break, the door swings open:

Hello Aunt Ir! - store owner.

The boy is short, stocky, in a warm sweater (after the scandal with the poltergeist, Igor got new clothes) and does not look like a dreamer at all.

I grab the prickly sleeve:

- Let's talk in the back room before they spot us?

Igor says:

Are you a journalist? Oh, so it's time for me.

I, the owner of the store, the boy's classmate and the taxi driver shout in chorus into the woolen back:

- Igor! You are welcome! Be human!

Useless.

Apparently, he was intimidated in guardianship that if he talks, he will be returned to the boarding school, the locals suggest.

IGOR YAKOVLEV SUMMONED THE DEMON WIMMON

On the page of Igor Yakovlev there is a black corridor with black doors, the inscription "Only you choose your path." This is an avatar (screenshots - on kp.ru).


A terrible demon walking through the flame with burning eyes and a grin-grin - picture.

Repost from the network game: "Igor Yakovlev summoned the character of the demon Wimmon." Sounds scary in the light of events.


"Which mage would you be? Harry Potter" - test poll.


Conclusion: the boy is interested in magic and the other world, like everyone at this age ...

"Evil does not sleep, it drinks coffee with cookies" - status ...

Could parents follow the lead of a lost child or, on the contrary, take advantage of his oddities? It was widely announced: things fly only in the presence of Igor, in the direction of Igor, because, they say, the boy was first sent to relatives, then to an orphanage and returned home only when everything calmed down ...

“The Zhukovs probably had a scandal, so they covered up this pogrom with a poltergeist,” is a popular version in Marax.

Alas, Alexei Postnikov, the priest of the Togursky temple, saw the movement of objects when he was in the Zhukovs' house, and stands on this according to the commandment "do not lie."

And this was also seen by the guardianship officers, the daughters of the Zhukovs with their husbands and three (!) Crews of the PPS, one after the other, who came to the address, because the department could not believe what they were reporting on the radio.

I didn’t talk to anyone, - TV journalist Kolpashevo testifies Irina Bogdanova, - unofficially, twenty people confirmed to me: “Yes, it was.” I even recorded one police officer ...

In the plot, the altered voice says: “Everything happens when you turn away: if you turn away - the cabinet fell on you, you leave the room - the stick flies out after you, you put the cabinet - it falls, you put it - it falls! How it should not fall according to any laws of physics ... "

Officially, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and guardianship did not comment on any media. According to my information, they also tried to shut up the Kolpashev diocese ...

And they couldn't.

DON'T RECEIVE

Father Alexei Postnikov is kind and young. It so happened that the unbaptized Natalya Zhukova, terrified to death, began to make phone calls to the diocese, and the diocese was being renovated, and the administration temporarily moved to his church in Togur.

They said: "We need to consecrate the house very urgently," - well, I went. The police and guardianship officers were just leaving: Natalya called them, because the child is under guardianship, if something happens to him, they will think about her. They explained to me: something has been going on in the house since Sunday: things are falling, books are falling. I immediately understood: an evil spirit, an unclean force ...

Father Alexei says this joyfully and casually. Why I love priests - they don't panic because of such a trifle as demons: every day to deal with the Holy Spirit in the service - you will inevitably get used to the miraculous. Angels, fallen and not fallen, for church ministers are like the heroes of the article for me: everyday reality. Machines, machines...

In fact, if you scrupulously study the interview, the events began in the Zhukovs' house two weeks before: the lights flashed and turned off, the owners called electricians, they did not find anything. At school in physical education, the ball escaped from Igor's hands and hit the girl's head ...

Father Alex:

They showed me a knife stuck in the wall in the kitchen, they said it flew past Igor ... A dent in the pressure cooker: my daughter was baking pancakes in a frying pan, the removable handle bounced off by itself and hit the pan. Pictures from the wall, scattered on the floor... This is what I saw myself. I prepared everything for the rite of consecration of the house - the chair fell to the floor. I say: “So what? Let's pray!" Igor: "Don't be afraid." I went for incense: you go around the whole house with a censer - in the bathroom the linen is dumped on the floor. And before that, I also walked and sprinkled holy water - the linen lay in a neat pile, and no one went into the bathroom, everyone prayed with candles. He began to get ready to leave - Igor was standing in the passage from the hall to the corridor, and suddenly children's encyclopedias fell from the sideboard in the hall. Igor: “Oh, it started again!” I picked up the books, put them in their place, Igor went to his bedroom. I look: the closet moved towards him and began to lean ... Here, I also saw this. This closet fell all the time, and there was an electric heater on the floor: they were afraid that there would be a short circuit ...

I ask:

- Were they very scared?

All the time they repeated: “Like in the movies! Like in the movies!" Who was scared was the police: some of them still cannot sleep peacefully. For some reason, I wasn't afraid. When meeting with an unclean spirit, there should be fear, but I only have excitement ... I have already met with such manifestations: in my first parish, I consecrated the store, and the woman, the saleswoman, began to shake ...

- And in whom is the unclean spirit here?

Igor is a bright child, won the Orthodox competition, was awarded the life of the elder Fyodor of Tomsk; I did not see any secretiveness or duplicity in him. On the Candlemas, that is, three days after the incident, the boy and Natalya were baptized, there was a large police squad in front of the temple, but everything went quietly. Something began only when the child entered the house ...

- And it stopped? Or are they afraid of the invasion of journalists and are hiding now?

…This question hung unanswered. It is known that Igor's pectoral cross broke, did not even last a month, and that Natalya Zhukova suddenly canceled a special prayer service for the expulsion of an unclean spirit, which the priests had planned in her house: it was on that day that she felt unwell and called an ambulance (the woman has diabetes) .

HOW IS THE DISCOVERY?

I know well that it is customary to write detective stories involving evil spirits only with exposure: I had to find the strings that the unbalanced teenager was pulling, or to catch the guardians in a lie, but instead I found a witness - a priest.

On the other hand, this witness has no evidence, only words.

The "believe it or not" situation.

On the other hand, I know exactly why the Kolpashev diocese calmly acknowledged the existence of an unkind miracle, although usually the Russian Orthodox Church does not even confirm myrrh-streaming.

Because the ruling bishop of Kolpashev, Bishop Siluan, in 2002 was hegumen of the Bogoroditse-Aleksievsky monastery in the city of Tomsk, and the same 11-year-old boy Yegor Voronov, suffering from a poltergeist, was brought to him.

The problem is that this poltergeist is not the first in Tomsk.

Poltergeist: an eyewitness account.

Some people think that evil spirits - ghosts, vampires and werewolves cannot live in temples. However, this is not the case: the ghost of an old priest sometimes appears in London's St. Paul's Cathedral. The ghost periodically emits cutting hearing, high-pitched sounds. Interestingly, historians found a secret staircase at the place where the priest appeared.

Prague is famous for the ghost of the one-armed thief that keeps appearing in the temple on Jakubska Street. According to the surviving legend, during the Thirty Years' War, soldiers entered this temple in order to plunder it. As soon as one of the marauders reached for the communion bowl, when suddenly an angel appeared from the darkness and cut off his hand. Since then, the one-armed bandit has been walking around in search of his hand. This legend is indirectly confirmed by the bas-relief at the entrance, which depicts two severed hands.

The Russian land is also rich in ghosts. At one time, the ghosts of Minin and Pozharsky "lived" in St. Basil's Cathedral. In 1807, at night, the watchman of the cathedral heard the clatter of horses. The guard wanted to open the doors, but they suddenly opened on their own, and the whole temple was lit up with a bright light.

The watchman saw two soldiers with weapons, who were praying in full armor, baptized and bowing to the icon of Our Lady of Kazan. After praying, they mounted their horses and galloped off, before promising to support their compatriots in the fight against Napoleon Bonaparte. Rumors immediately spread in the capital that these two warriors were Minin and Pozharsky, folk heroes.

Another Moscow riddle is located near the Kitai-Gorod metro station, which is behind the Varvarsky Gates. We are talking about the Church of All Saints on Kulishki - the church was built by Dmitry Donskoy in honor of the victory over the Mongol-Tatars on Kulikovo Field. In the 16th century, it was decided to reconstruct the temple and build an underground tomb under the floor. However, after some time, underground work was started again. The cellar with the tomb was opened, and the coffins were moved to another place.

In 1666, finally, the builders completed the reconstruction, but something happened in the temple at that time. At night there was a loud knocking, and in the almshouse, which is near the church, a “devilish glow” appeared. As the legend says, the demon cohabited with the old women, and threw stones at the rest of the inhabitants. It even got to the point that the priests refused to hold divine services in this temple. Nothing helped - neither prayer nor holy water.

Thanks to this incident, the popular expression "At the devil in Kulishki" appeared in the Russian language. (Instead of "Kulishki" they began to say "Kulichki", and the name comes from the Battle of Kulikovo!).

The situation with the demon was "resolved" with the help of Illarion from the Florish Wasteland. The elder, with the help of prayers, could drive away the spirits, taking two icons, he spent 5 weeks in the temple. During one of the ceremonies, suddenly there was a roar, the candles were extinguished - the evil spirits left the temple.

Researchers believe that this was a case of a typical poltergeist - and those who disturbed the burials are to blame for its appearance.

In ordinary life, while it goes on steadily, without incident, we don’t even think about the fact that a world of other entities exists in parallel with us. Its main "inhabitants" are angels and devils). Holy Scripture is rich in descriptions of the effects of demons on human souls. The Bible lists the signs of a demon-possessed person. The Holy Fathers have attached great importance to this since the Middle Ages. Little is known about angels: they are protectors, and we do not need to know about their ways of protection. Demons are serious enemies of the human race, and in order to resist them, it is necessary to study methods of dealing with this evil spirits. Christ Himself emphasized that they could only be driven out with the help of fasting, the cross and prayer.

How did the Evil Spirit appear?

Before the Creator created the universe, there was a world of angels. The most powerful was called Dennitsa. Once he became proud, rose up against God himself, and for this he was expelled by the angry Lord from the angelic world.

Every Christian knows the signs of a demon-possessed person: talking in a strange voice, rejection of church values, the ability to levitate, a sulfuric smell, and more. But there are also signs of the devil's presence that are difficult to recognize.

To protect yourself from a possessed person, the best advice is not to mess with him, since the possessed person does not own his own mind. Only church ceremonies will help to expel demons from him.

How does the devil get into a person?

Anthony the Great claims that humanity itself is to blame for the fact that demons find refuge in the souls of people. These are incorporeal beings that can take refuge in a person if he accepts their vile thoughts, temptations and will. So people agree with the existing evil. The stories of the priests about the devil's infestation are quite frightening and scary. From their personal experience, they have repeatedly been convinced of the reality of the actions of the dark force, therefore they know all the signs of a demon-possessed person, they can recognize him and try to save his soul. Even a strong prayer does not immediately help to get rid of the infiltrated evil spirits.

So why do demons have the ability to enter a person? The Holy Fathers affirm that they belong where sin already lives. Sinful thoughts, an unworthy way of life, many vices - it is easiest for the devil to penetrate into a vicious person.

Many wonder why God allows this. The answer is simple. In fact, from the Almighty we are endowed with freedom of choice, will. We ourselves must choose whose power is closer to us, the Lord or Satan.

Priests divide demon-possessed people into two types.

The first - the demon subjugates the soul and behaves like a second personality inside a person. The second is the enslavement of the human will by various sinful passions. Even John of Kronstadt, who observed the possessed, noted that demons would take possession of the souls of ordinary people because of their innocence and illiteracy. If the spirit instills in the soul of an educated person, then this is a slightly different form of possession, and in these cases it is rather difficult to fight the devil.

in the church

There is a statement in the Christian church that a person's obsession, which does not manifest itself in everyday life, comes out as soon as the possessed one approaches the church or sees the icon and the cross. There were cases when, during the service, some people began to rush about, howl, cry, shout out blasphemous speeches, and swear. All these are the main signs of a possessed person. This is explained by the fact that the demon tries to protect the soul from divine influence. The devil is intolerant of everything that somehow reminds of faith in God.

Educated, intelligent people with a demon in their souls, it would seem, are accustomed to taking into account the opinions of others, they are measured and sedate, but as soon as you start a conversation with them about religion, all their respect disappears, their faces immediately change, rage appears. The demon living inside cannot cross his essence as soon as it comes to his eternal enemy - God. The way possessed people behave in the church only confirms the fact that the demon tries to avoid sources of danger and is afraid of being cast out. In fact, it is not people who are afraid of the church and the Creeds, but the unclean essence that is in them.

Possession can be divided into several signs: in some cases, the demon simply whispers nasty things to a person, encourages him to do obscene things, to go against God. Having penetrated the body, the demon can act to the detriment of other people, causing them harm. Having settled in the body of the dead, the devil in the guise of ghosts plagues people.

Physical Signs of a Demon Possessed

Church ministers have identified phenomena that indicate signs of demon-possessed people. In the treatise "On Demons" by Peter of Tyre, the following points of manifestations of the demon are indicated:

  • the voice acquires a terrible demonic timbre;
  • any voice changes are possible;
  • paralysis of the body or some limbs;
  • an incredible display of power for an ordinary person.

Other demonologists also highlight:

  • a huge belly unusual for a person;
  • rapid fading, weight loss, leading to death;
  • levitation;
  • split personality;
  • imitation of animals;
  • obscene behavior, thoughts;
  • the smell of sulfur (the smell of hell);
  • blasphemy against God, church, holy water, cross;
  • mumbling in a non-existent language.

This is not a complete list of features. Of course, many points of possession can be explained by some kind of physical illness, so, in the Middle Ages, demonism was often confused with the symptoms of epilepsy. Mental disorders were passed off as public sinful orgies, imitation of animals was confused with schizophrenia. In fact, it is really difficult to define in everyday life what a possessed person means. Many character traits, stereotypes of behavior, licentiousness, ignorance - all this resembles demonic possession.

exorcism

The traditional "treatment" for possession is to cast the demon out of the body. The rites of exorcism are performed by clergymen who read special prayers, fumigate with incense, and perform chrismation. Most often, during the ceremony, people strongly resist, even faint. The priest should not be alone, he definitely needs helpers - other representatives of the church. Modern doctors and psychologists do not believe in such rites and claim that this is just. Then how to explain that such attacks occur exclusively with church intervention and after performing the rite people feel significant relief? There are still no answers to these questions.

You can cast out demons with sincere faith, prayer and fasting. Before the process of exile, you need to take communion and confess. A reprimand can be made by a monk-prayer who has not known sin and carnal pleasures. The key is strict fasting. The unprepared soul itself will not be able to cope with the exorcism of demons. Prayer may not work, and the result may be unpredictable. The reprimand will be conducted by a monk who has received instructions from the senior spiritual brethren, he is endowed with divine protection and special power that will help to cope with demons. The prayer that is read is called an exorcist prayer. After its repeated pronunciation, the signs of the possession of demon-possessed people disappear, confirming the presence of infernal forces.

When exorcising the devil, prayer should sound from the lips of a sincerely believing person, magic is strictly excluded. People involved in the occult, in 90% of cases, become possessed by demons.

Prayer protection from evil spirits

Unclean forces can easily attack us, move into houses, plot intrigues, and make a person obsessed. In Orthodoxy, there are many prayers that help protect against the attacks of evil spirits. The most famous are the prayer to Seraphim of Sarov, Pansophia of Athos “From the attack of demons”, St. Gregory the Wonderworker and, of course, the prayer to Jesus Christ.

Orthodox believers know that the text should always be carried with them, because in the hour of rampant evil spirits there is always a chance to fall under its influence. A possessed person can also meet at any moment on the way, what to do in this case? Save the prayer word.

Many memorize the text of the prayer by heart. But in stressful situations, a person usually gets lost and forgets about everything in the world, so it's best to always have protection with you. You can give yourself confidence in a difficult situation by reading the text of the prayer from the sheet. It is very important to follow some rules:

  • Always carry the text of the prayer with you. Style and Old Slavonic words should not be altered and forged under the modern language, this can reduce the power of words prayed for centuries.
  • You need to pronounce the text yourself, online listening will not work here, the emotional component and the sincerity of the spoken phrases are important.
  • When reading a prayer, you must be protected by a cross, an icon. Shameless demonic offspring can easily penetrate unprotected lost souls and reduce the words of prayer to nothing.

Protect your life energy and your home. For example, it will be more difficult for demons to enter a house consecrated by a priest.

Obsession from a scientific point of view

What does official science say about demonism? Scientists call obsession a mental illness, the name of which is cacodemonomania. It is believed that seizures are most often affected by dependent people, open, impressionable or, on the contrary, passive. Most of them are influenced by others. Sigmund Freud called cacodemonomania a neurosis. According to him, a person himself invents a demon in himself, which suppresses his desires. So what is possession - a curse or a disease? Scientists explain the signs of possession by various diseases, but it is worth noting that often medical methods are not able to remove the problem.

  • Possession is explained by epilepsy. With loss of consciousness during convulsions, a person is able to feel contacts with the non-material world.
  • Depression, euphoria, mood swings are characteristic of affective bipolar disorder.
  • Confused with obsession and Tourette's syndrome. Because of the upset nervous system, nervous tics begin.
  • A disease is known in psychology, accompanied by a split personality, when several personalities live in one body, showing themselves at different periods.
  • Schizophrenia has also been compared to obsession. The patient has hallucinations, problems with speech begin, crazy ideas appear.

If an impure essence instills in a person, this is reflected in his appearance. How to recognize a possessed person is listed in the article above. It can also be supplemented by the fact that the color of the eyes of those possessed by demons changes, they become cloudy, although the vision remains the same. The color of the skin may also change, it becomes darker - this sign is very dangerous.

Real cases of possession

There are stories of people being possessed by demons that are recorded and documented. Here are just a few of them.

Clara Herman Tsele. History from South America. The girl Clara, at the age of 16, told the priest in confession that she felt the presence of a demon in herself. The story took place in 1906. At first, they did not believe her words, since it is not easy to determine a possessed person. But her condition began to worsen every day. There is documentary evidence of people who say that the girl behaved inappropriately and spoke in other people's voices. The exorcism ritual was performed on her for two days, which saved her.

Roland Doe. The story of this boy took place in 1949. His aunt died. After some time, Roland tried to contact her with the help of a seance, but incredible things began to happen around: screams were heard, crucifixes were shaking, objects were flying, and so on. The priest invited to the house saw objects falling and flying. At the same time, the boy's body was covered with various symbols. It took 30 sessions to drive out the evil spirit. More than 14 sources confirm the fact that the bed with the sick boy was flying around the room.

Emily Rose Story

I would especially like to note the case of Annalize Michel. This is the clearest example of human insanity. The girl became the prototype of Emily Rose in the famous film.

When the girl was 17 years old, her life became a nightmare. In the middle of the night she was attacked by paralysis, it was impossible to breathe. The doctors diagnosed him with Grand Mal seizures or epileptic convulsions. After Annalise was placed in a mental clinic, her situation only worsened. Medical treatment did not bring any relief. A demon constantly appeared to her and spoke of a curse. She began to develop a deep depression. A year later, in 1970, the girl was discharged from the hospital. She herself turned to the church and asked for an exorcism, claiming that the devil had entered her body. Church ministers know how to understand that a person is possessed, but they refused to help her and advised her to pray more. The girl began to behave more inappropriately. She bit her family members, ate flies and spiders, copied dogs, mutilated herself, destroyed icons. This went on for five years. Relatives with difficulty persuaded the clergy to perform an exorcism. The ceremony began in 1975 and ended only in 1976, it was held twice a week. A great many evil spirits were expelled from her body, but her health was still deteriorating, she could neither drink nor eat. As a result, the girl died in her sleep. According to her, before her death, the Virgin Mary came to her and offered her the option of salvation - to leave her body, which was enslaved by demons.

How to Deal with a Possessed Person

If suddenly you find signs of demonic possession in loved ones, it is important not to get lost at this moment, try to create conditions so that the person does not harm himself or others. There are a few tips on how to protect yourself from a possessed person:

  • You should not provoke a possessed person to an attack of aggression, as he is not able to be responsible for his own actions. Agree with him and control the situation.
  • Protect the possessed in movements. Sit or lay on the bed. Make sure he can't hurt himself.
  • With manifestations of demonic possession, try to calm the person, bring him to a normal state. If an attack is provoked by icons or crucifixes, remove them.

Protect yourself and your loved ones from the encroachments of demons. True faith, fervent prayer, a life of piety will not let the devil take possession of your soul and body.
