Without suspecting it, these unfortunate people are in fact conductors of demonic energy: some consider it to be the energy of their own biofield, others to be impersonal cosmic energy spread in the universe, which they have learned to accumulate, and still others to be the energy sent to them by God Himself. All these ridiculous theories only amuse the demons who live in them, who, being fallen, but still angels, have powers that are not given to any man. The entire twenty-century experience of the Church testifies:

Any psychic abilities that many of our contemporaries suddenly discover in themselves or "develop" with the help of occult methods (including the ability to heal people) are not their abilities at all, but the abilities of demons who live in their bodies.

But in order for demons to manifest their abilities through a person (supernatural for us, but not for them), they (demons) must be let in. Observations show that demons enter into unconscious sorcerers in two ways:

1. Using the help of the person himself.

2. Without his conscious efforts.

THE FIRST WAY DEMONS ENTER

In the event that a person's spiritual heredity is not burdened with serious hereditary sins, and even more so, if he is protected from the intrusion of demons by the grace of Baptism, fallen spirits use the 1st method to destroy the grace-filled protection and subsequently enter the human body. It is in this case that they absolutely need the help of the person himself. It is justified by the false idea of the independent development of supernatural abilities in oneself with the help of occult training (this method is used in relation to adults). It is this task that all occult practices serve, such as, for example, transcendental meditation (TM), kundalini awakening methods, mantra yoga, occult breathing gymnastics – pranayama and other various yogic and energy practices, as well as methods for developing hypnotic abilities and, of course, initiation by the "initiate". Thus:

Various methods of "developing" psychic and hypnotic abilities are, in essence, techniques for destroying one's own spiritual and energy protection (including the rejection of the grace-filled Divine energies) and opening oneself up to enter the body of demons.

Having "developed" paranormal abilities in himself by the above methods, the psychic is completely sure that he has "earned" them thanks to his own efforts. Having destroyed his spiritual defense, that is, having deprived himself of the grace of God, the psychic or hypnotist, influencing the patient who has come to him for healing, does the same with him, that is, he destroys the patient's grace-filled protection, revealing his spiritual structure for the entry of demons. Archpriest L. Lebedev also wrote about this, analyzing, in particular, the consequences of hypnosis: "Hypnotic influence breaks off the protective seal that protected a person's consciousness from outside suggestions, preserved his proper inner freedom."35

However, magical abilities, including the ability to clairvoyance and healing, can be obtained without wasting any effort or time on occult training, immediately and without delay, without making any effort and without developing anything. This is what initiation serves, which does not require any effort at all on the part of the "initiate", whose body, thanks to initiation (initiation), becomes the home of one or more demons specializing in extrasensory perception. But still, in this case, a person helps demons, since he voluntarily turns to a servant of Satan for initiation, although in this version he does not guess whom the "Master" serves.

One of my spiritual children, a woman who went through the hell of being fascinated by the occult, told me how a similar, though not explicit, initiation into a "master of biolocation" took place. Its teacher, with the help of frames or a vine (a forked branch of a tree), found, as he believed, numerous underground passages on the territory of ancient buildings. But not only. With the help of an L-shaped metal frame, as well as a pendulum, he determined the "compatibility of drugs" with his biofield, and also received answers to almost all the questions that he asked the unknown "teacher": "yes" - if the frame in his hand went to the left, and "no" - if it deviated to the right.

The student turned out to be "stupid" - the antennae in her hands did not want to react in any way to the "aura of the tree". Then the "guru" used a well-tested technique, as he explained, "unification of biofields". He and the student held hands, tightly clasped their fingers, and took the frame: he in his right hand, she in her left hand. It's a go! The frames began to rotate intensively. After that, the woman instantly mastered the "science", which, according to the descriptions in the relevant literature, takes years of study to master: she was able to "brilliantly cope" with biolocation work of any complexity. And although formally there was no initiation here, there is no doubt that under the guise of reasoning about "biofields" there was a practical implantation of the demon-tenant in the body of an enthusiastic student. After all, she voluntarily agreed to learn a method, the essence of which she had no idea about, as well as to "feed on someone else's aura." So I "fed"!
