A Review on Entity Attachment, Obsession, Possession, and Exorcism . by Alice B. Clagett

Leave a reply

It seems to me that the paintings below reflect Mikhail Vrubel’s thoughts on entity attachment or demonic possession. That is because of the haunting, vacant look in the eyes of his art subjects. The last painting at the bottom of the post confirms this notion …

Dear Ones,

I ran across a video today that was difficult to see through to the end. That video was by a dauntlessly talented young man with the courage to express some of the issues discussed in my blog category: Exorcism – obsession – possession – entity attachment ..

It seems to me, from my reading, that issues of hard drug or alcohol addiction may make it possible for Satanic possession or Satanic obsession to occur. I feel this may be because addiction stills the higher mind – the intellect – and allows the gut brain to take over our decision-making process.

Here are my relevant blog categories  …  Addiction – habits  …  01 – 02 – 03 – SUBCONSCIOUS MIND – Lower Mental Body – Gut brain  …  05 – 06 – 07 – CONSCIOUS MIND – Higher Mental Body

The gut brain is under the influence of the Elder Race, the Martian Bacterial Colonists of the human colon, and they are easily misled by Reptilian overlighting spirits and by what Christians term Satanic entities.

Here are the relevant blog categories  …  Mars – Martians – the Elder Race  …  Reptilian Star Beings  …  Satan – Satanism

The young man’s ending speech addressed the dilemma of existing in the realm of Duality … Duality – Polarity – Lila … and the healing brought forth by an understanding of the principle of balance of Light and Dark in the realm of Duality. For more on Balance, see …

Demon-Ridden, Rough Young Man . by Alice B. Clagett

Leave a reply

Happened at 2:30 pm on 5 February 2020; imaged and published on 12 March 2020; revised
Previously titled: Demon of Lust
Location: Santa Monica, California

Dear Ones,

I have a new drawing for you … ‘Rough Young Man Possessed by a Demon’ … This was a person I saw in Santa Monica, California, at 2:20 pm on 5 February 2020. I was on my way to a dental appointment. I was paused at a stop light on Santa Monica Blvd or thereabouts. A man approached me from the north side of the street. He was a Caucasian man, a little taller than 6 feet, very handsome in a ‘biker’ way, about 35 years of age, roughly dressed. I noticed him because he looked very like an acquaintance of mine, but as if he were the second man’s son and near likeness.

In my mind I thought of the ‘mimicry’ or ‘actor impersonator’ instances I had run into from time to time in recent years. I sensed the Soul signature of the man on the street was the one that had been causing me a lot of concern in the dream world lately.

Could it be a glom that was occurring astrally, in dreamtime, because of his physical resemblance to that of my acquaintance? Could it be that the astral form of a person while dreaming by any chance homes in on people who look like other people, and creates these astral gloms of which I have spoken in past? If so, that would explain why these dreams prove false; they might have a nightmare quality because the napping astral traveler mistakes one person for a person whose physical form is similar … I wonder if that might be so.

At any rate, as to the Santa Monica man, I was instantly put on alert as I sensed he was full of vital force (as is often the case with antisocial personalities). As well, I psychically sensed a demon riding him, similar to the demon I had seen on the back of an Oriental grounds worker in Northeast Los Angeles in 2016 …

Link: “Amazing Astral Stories: The Darkest Hours . The Last Demon in LA,” by Alice B. Clagett, happened on 1 July 2016; narrated and filmed on 20 July 2016; published on 22 July 2016; revised … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-5T8 ..

I was also reminded of a man whose car had sped past me on Pacific Coast Highway in the early 2000s. That was a 20s or 30s Caucasian man, handsome like a movie star, sitting on the front of the trunk of an expensive convertible (on top of the back seat). He was wearing a long scarf that blew in the breeze. He seemed oblivious to the danger in which he had placed himself. Like the man in Santa Monica, he was staring at me. Psychically, I saw a demon riding on his back.

Then there was the sudden obsession of the short, white-haired man with the trembling pinkie in North Hollywood, which I witnessed, psychically, some years ago. That was a man who had been stalking me for about a year (but nothing bad came of it, thank goodness). I wrote about it in the year 2019, but the event happened in about the year 2013, as I recall …

Link: “Alice’s Perilous Tales: ‘Chameleon’: The Man with the Trembling Pinkie,” by Alice B. Clagett, written and published on 23 May 2019; updated … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-cRe ..

That is just four instances of ‘demon sightings’ in about 20 years. Not a lot. I think maybe what I saw psychically may have had to do with the people in question suffering from drug addiction. That is just a guess.

At any rate, this last man, the one in Santa Monica, made for my passenger-side car door. I sensed imminent physical danger, and eased off the brake just as the light changed. Fortunately, that was an end to it.

The drawing below is not really accurate; it is too innocent in character. The person in question seemed almost like ‘consummate evil’ and at the same time capable of being infinitely alluring. That is how it seemed to me. That is, I feel, the ‘glamour’ or ‘black magic’ that demonic obsession or possession lends the physical form of the person so unfortunate as to be obsessed of possessed by a demonic entity …

NOTE: One thought I had about these encounters was that they might have had to do with the ‘allure’ a person exudes when under the influence of ‘hard’ drugs. Or else, it might have been a dreamtime realm dimensional crossover or ‘merge’ with the real world (a merge of 4D with 3D) that was so seemingly real and physical it qualified as a ‘vivid waking dream’ according to Ascension lore. They might also have been complicated instances of the clair ability known as psychokinesis.

What Could We Expect in Federal, State and Local Revenue Increases if Recreational Drugs Were Legalized? . by Alice B. Clagett *

  • MORE INFORMATION

Dear Ones,

$27.8B FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL ANNUAL EXPENSE

According to Forbes, the war on drugs costs the United States over $78 billion a year …

Link: “Doc Series ‘The Trade’: The War On Drugs Costs The U.S. Over $78B A Year,” by Dana Feldman, contributor, in Forbes, 9 February 2018 …  https://www.forbes.com/sites/danafeldman/2018/02/09/doc-series-the-trade-the-war-on-drugs-costs-the-u-s-over-78b-a-year/#3076314a2c1b .. 

However, this includes addiction treatment, healthcare, and lost job productivity in addition to federal drug control expense. As it is the federal drug control expense that would be curtailed by legalization, I looked that up. The federal drug control expense for 2018 is estimated to be $27.8 billion dollars … That would mean the other costs … addiction treatment, healthcare, and lost job productivity … tally about $50.2 billion dollars a year.

Link: “Total federal drug control spending in the United States from FY 2013 to FY 2020 (in million U.S. dollars),” by Matej Mikulic, 23 January 2020, in Statista: The Statistics Portal … https://www.statista.com/statistics/618857/total-federal-drug-control-spending-in-us/ ..

$132B ESTIMATED ANNUAL INCREASE IN TAX REVENUES FROM NATIONWIDE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA

According to the Washington Post, nationwide legalization of marijuana might result in $132 billion tax revenues annually …

Link: “Post Nation: Study: Legal marijuana could generate more than $132 billion in federal tax revenue and 1 million jobs,” by Katie Zezima, 10 January 2018 …  https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2018/01/10/study-legal-marijuana-could-generate-more-than-132-billion-in-federal-tax-revenue-and-1-million-jobs/?utm_term=.dee696c70135 ..

It seems to me that generation of jobs is a moot point in the above article, since the jobs are already there, in our economy, but just not included in the job statistics. Further, income tax revenue from legalization of these jobs is included as part of the $132 billion revenue figure in the above article.

So, the important figure there is the $132 billion annual revenue for nationwide legalization of marijuana, I note this figure takes into account payroll tax deductions, a retail sales tax of 15 percent, and business tax revenues, which seems appropriate to me. I note also they are calculating federal revenue rather than state or local revenue (i.e., ‘sin taxes’).

$708.6B ESTIMATED INCREASE IN TAX REVENUES FROM NATIONWIDE LEGALIZATION OF ALL RECREATIONAL DRUGS

I was unable to find comparable estimates for generation of revenue from legalization of sales of all categories of recreational drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and other recreational drugs. However, this may be estimated as follows:

According to a 2010 Cato Institute report, the ratio of tax revenues for legalization of all drugs, to tax revenues for legalization of marijuana, was 46.7B : 8.7B. For these data, see …

Link: “Commentary: Making an Economic Case for Legalizing Drugs,” by Jeffrey Miron and Katherine Waldock. This article appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer on 3 October 2010 … https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/making-economic-case-legalizing-drugs ..

Plugging this ratio into the more recent estimate of $132B annual marijuana revenue, we get:

46.7B / 8.7B = X / 132B  … and

X = $708.6B … X being the current estimated annual revenues for legalization of all drugs nationwide.

$686.2B ESTIMATED ANNUAL NET IMPROVEMENT IN THE FEDERAL BOTTOM LINE

This estimate of $708.6B may be on the high side. However, going with this figure, and using the prior bolded figures, let’s consider what federal revenue changes might take place if all recreational drugs were legalized nationwide.

  • The current $50.2 billion dollar cost for addiction treatment, healthcare, and lost job productivity would stay roughly the same.
  • The current $27.8 billion dollar annual federal drug control expense would be greatly curtailed.
  • The current estimated annual revenues for legalization of all drugs nationwide would be $708.6B.

On the plus side for the federal government are the last two bullets: $27.8B plus $708.6B = a total of $736.4B total ‘fattening of the federal coffers’.

This increase in the federal bottom line might resolve the issue of the first-bullet minus: A portion of the federal increase might be set aside to completely cover the $50.2 billion dollar annual cost for addiction treatment, healthcare, and lost job productivity would stay roughly the same.

This would leave a net improvement in the federal bottom line of $736.4B less $50.2B = net $686.2B. 

$17B ESTIMATED ANNUAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE STATE AND LOCAL BOTTOM LINE DUE TO ‘SIN TAX’ INCREASES

An added plus would be sin taxes on that might optionally be levied by state and local governments. In 2014, state sin taxes for were $32.5B for currently legal activities and products such as alcohol, tobacco, casino, racino, and gaming. The largest category was tobacco at $16.9B.

The retail value of 2017 annual tobacco sales in the United States was about $121B …

Link: “Market value of tobacco in the United States from 2013 to 2018 (in million U.S. dollars),” in Statista: The Statistics Portal,” https://www.statista.com/statistics/491709/tobacco-united-states-market-value/ ..

From 2000 to 2010, Americans spend about $100B annually on illegal drugs, including cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine, according to the RAND Drug Policy Research Center for the Office of National Drug Control Policy. This is the most recent figure I have on the market value of illegal drugs in the United States, so I’ll go with this.

Link: “Americans Spent About A Trillion Dollars On Illegal Drugs In The Last Decade,” by Matt Ferner, 13 March 2014, in Huffington Post … https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/13/americans-trillion-dollars-drugs_n_4943601.html ..

Looking at these two figures: 2017 annual tobacco sales at $121B, and 2010 estimated annual illegal drug sales at $100 billion, we might consider these to be roughly equal.

Thus the sin tax on legalized recreational drugs sales might be anticipated to be about what states and local governments receive in annual sin tax for tobacco: that is, about $17B annually.

FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT MIGHT GET AROUND THE MORAL ISSUE STATES HAVE WITH LEGALIZATION OF DRUGS

This crunching of the figures makes it clear that the most logical thing to do would be to legalize all recreational drugs, and generate federal and state revenues from their sales. However, many people in the United States have strong moral stands on recreational drugs.

In fact, the fury over legalization, or criminalization, of recreational drug use in America today is very similar to the fury over alcohol use that resulted in Prohibition … a ban on alcohol sales and use from 1920 to 1933. As I understand it, criminal activity around ‘bootlegging’ skyrocketed during those years. Then when Prohibition was repealed in 1933, the crime wave abated, and federal and local governments began to benefit from liquor revenues.

I feel we might have the same benefits with regard to recreational drugs in this way …

  • The federal government might legalize all recreational drug use and sales.
  • States might have the power to prohibit recreational drug use and sales, either altogether or in part.
  • Those states that legalize recreational drug use and sales, either altogether or in part, might get the benefit of remuneration by the federal government, based on increased federal revenues from recreational drug sales in their state.
  • Federal remuneration to states that decide to legalize recreational drugs might be earmarked for drug-use-related health care, addiction treatment, and health education for schools, and for drug users and their families.

In love, light and joy
