Is it possible that such problems could be
the cause of a increased sensitivity to
the paranormal activity of the spirit
world?
Could these feelings of depression,
suicide and hearing voices be the effects
of demons trying to control our feelings
and our lives?
I think it is very possible, I sometimes
(not often) but sometimes hear voices,
when I pray and I have analised these
voices and have come to realise that many
deep spiritual realities have been
revealed to me through those experiences
also I have noticed a darker presence
often when thinking of the spirit world
without being in prayer, often feeling as
if there is a evil presence and that I am
being attacked - I know martin luther
suffered much from increased sensitivity
to the spirit world, he once through a
glass off a wall because he felt the
presance of satan and through it at him.
If it could be a hightened spiritual
sensitivity, it can very much be seen as a
gift from god, if your suffering from
depression and feelings of suicide perhaps
a conversion to christ and the healing
power of reconcilliation through the
catholic church could help prevent the
darker spirits from effecting our lives so
much, it could also lead you in a
direction of great spirituality

I think it's possible, yes. But these
things can't really be proven as being
linked to god and the devil and such.
Most people believe schizophrenia to be a
mental illnes: a brain disease. In
theory, people hear voices, develope
delusions (religious, paranoid, grandois,
etc.) see things, because of a possible
chemical imbalance in the brain.
I believe that the voices I hear are
mostly the voices of beings from other
demensions who are communicating with me
through a sort of esp. And the so called
delusions, are real, and I know of them
because these beings from the other
demensions/worlds, have sent me these
warnings about the government and the
world and such. Yet, everyone else thinks
of me as "crazy" for my beliefs.
If someone is "schizophrenic" or hears
voices and is religious, they will often
believe something along the lines of "god
is punishing them, god is speaking to
them, or they are possessed by the devil.
They may rsort to prayer and such to help
them get better or to communicate more
with god. Does this really work? Who
knows. Because I don't think that there
is any actual proof that god or the devil
or whatever it be, actually exists. There
is only belief and faith and what not.
I am not religious and I don't believe
that I am possessed by demons, even though
I don't completly dismiss that
possibility. I often feel like I am
possessed, but who is to say it is surely
the devil? It could be any number of
things.

Although we dont know for sure the devil
exists, we do know for sure that jesus of
nazareth existed and that he done many
magical things, curing the sick, giving
sight to the blind and even raising people
from the dead we know that he was
crucified and after 3 days the tomb was
found empty this is wrote in both the
jewish and roman history not just the
bible.
All it comes down to when you read about
jesus of nazareth in the gospels, when you
know for sure he existed, you have to come
to one of the following conculsions.
1. He was a mad man and someone stole his
body under the noses of roman guards (who
were unlikly to be asleep on duty -
consiqunece is death)
or
2. That he was and is the son of god who
he claimed to be and rose from the dead.
Well, I believe there is sufficiant
evidence to suggest that he was the son of
god not leastly the signs that he done and
are documented in all three texts
regarding him, jewish history, roman
history and the 4 gospels. But also, the
many healings that still occur today at
shrines around the globe, fatima, lourds
being 2 of the most well known.
If we can trust history, we can know where
to look for more indepth info on jesus and
when we do, we know that jesus healed
people who were possesed by demons.
"then jesus rebuked the demon, and it came
out of him, and from that moment the boy
was healed."
"he healed many who were sick with various
diseases, and drove out many demons."
"those tormented by unclean spirits were
made well"
"with authority and power he commands the
unclean spirits, and they come out!"
it is also reported in the records of the
jewish temple
"the pharisees however, said, "he drives
out demons by the ruler of the demons!"
so I think schizophrenia and many other
mental disorders could easily be the
attacks of unclean spirits although
certain mind numbing drugs may help with
the paranoia and the decrease the
awareness of the voices, they dont
actually cure they only alievate the
problem.
I believe by turning to jesus christ and
recieving the sacraments instituted by
christ, through the catholic church that
he created 2000 years ago is the one way
of begin healed.
Perhaps a trip to loureds or fatima may
also cure a believer in the one ture
faith.
