The Mystery of Spirit Possessions – What Happens?

My dear bloggers, I greet you all with love and kindness. Today I will share some things to you about spiritual possession. No, I will not tell you about the time sister Merle got into spirit, rolled on the floor and her butt pad fell out (I laughed behind my hands, but who wouldn’t). Nor will I go into the time when the pastors wife pretended to be possessed and beat both his mistresses Sister Vinnie and Sister Margaret and Pastor had to bite her (the wife) to get her hands off their throats.

Ah, church. Sigh, I miss church days sometimes, but onto the topic!

Spiritual possession is often thought of, by some, as “demonic”, or a powerful experience when a person is able to be possessed by otherworldly entities.

Back then when I attended the churches I remember people speaking in tongues (some called it the Holy Ghost, others rebuked it), and I had often wondered about it, because according to Biblical text, if a person speaks in tongues, let another person interpret (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). The pastors would explain this to mean that if no one can interpret, then the speech was not of God.

But as I grew, I realized that man often acted of himself (his ego), even Pastors, and not of God. These things had turned me off the church.

When my spiritual initiation began, it was before I became apart of Zion/Revival church. I was a Presbyterian Christian. During my years of spiritual initiation (done by high Cosmic forces/masters), I had learned much, but there came a time when I was to know that I was to become a Medium among other things.

This word “Medium” has a negative reputation among occultists because for centuries, people would sit in circles with crystal balls, touching fingers, or using ouija boards to “invoke” spirits to possess the Mediums body. But the negative reputation came because often times the Medium (usually women) was deceived by non-physical entities, and quickly entertained any message that came to her, so her work was a kind of “spiritual promiscuity”.

When these groups gathered, or when a less competent spiritualist opened a pack of tarot cards for her friends, it was like putting up a big neon sign to the Invisible World that said, “Human here! Messages needed! All spirits enter!” and the good, the bad, and the ugly showed up to the party simply because the door was opened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

But for me, I did not want this road. I wanted to be “normal” like everyone else and not in and out of spirit possessions. I was appointed by Spirit (Cosmic forces) and I was terrified. But the Medium that Spirit trained me to be is one that resonates and interprets vibrations both in and out of matter. All of my faculties were tried and tested – so that I was trained to discern beyond the material world. I do not have word to tell you the torture I went through to become me, my eyes mist in memory. To discern beyond this physical world, you had to be stripped of everything.

And how would I become stripped of everything? I had to come face to face with dark forces.

There I would be happily or jokingly speaking to someone and all of a sudden, I would change and I was someone else. My body would stiffen, my facial expression would change, my voice was different, and suddenly in Obara’s body was some other entity. My children and church members became afraid of me. Who could blame them? Sometimes I was afraid of myself! But what would come out of my mouth in those moments would be a prophecy of known or unknown persons and what would happen to them. Days would pass and we would hear the report on the news.

For example, there was a night my daughter, her friend and I were sitting on my veranda having a good conversation. All of a sudden I switch out of myself and say, “Rosehill Cemetery is passing through. All lights will go out now.”

And in just seconds all the lights of every neighborhood in the surrounding environment went out, and the town went into a blackout. Everyone was silent.

After some moments passed, I said again, “The lights will come back now. They have passed.”

And all the lights switched on immediately.

But I was not me. That was not me.

To me, during those times when I didn’t know when these things would happen, I was nervous because I had no idea what was happening to me. I had no control over myself, and oftentimes I would be embarrassed when I came out of it, wondering if people thought my enemy was mad.

Yet everything that Spirit would say when it took over would be the absolute truth, so that disproved lunacy. So what was this?

I had began to realize, then, that I was going through a spiritual initiation, though I did not want to admit it. However, when I eventually was sent to be apart of the Zion church, I witnessed possession in a different way by the attendants there and also the Pastors. (–Remember the opening of the post, the exposed butt pad and the pastors wife? Yeah, these were those times). They would shout, scream, fall to the floor, scream out messages, speak in unknown tongues, women would lift three times their body weights, and many different types of erratic behaviors.

But I had never acted this way. There were certain times when a particular spirit would come onto me that I would feel suddenly. When it came, I would rip my nose ring out of my nose, (yes, I was a hot gal Christian, now a hot gal spiritualist) blood and all, throw away my head wrap, throw off my shoes, and just move as how I was bid to move. None of it was under my control. But where was I? The “me” that owned this body? What force was this?

I had always wondered about these things after they had happened because I did not like any of it. I am an Aries, I like to be in control of my own self at all times, one of the reasons I do not smoke or drink. But when these things happened, the realization that Spirit, that non-physical entity, that unseen force, is stronger than us, and is real.

But then came Africa.

And while I would like to answer the questions posed, I will tell you briefly about my initiation (the ritual in Africa) and this was how I had begun to understand all the possessions I had gone through and why they happened.

While I was doing my initiation to Orisha Oshun, Goddess of Sweet Waters, there came the last day when the Mothers expected me to become possessed by the deity (in most traditional initiations around the world, possession is a requirement for one to truly be “initiated”, with the exception of Ifa). All the women (Olorishas) were speaking Yoruba around me, wondering why I was not yet possessed by the deity.

The “leading” Mother gave me some concoction to drink, and after 3 sips, my head was thrown back, hit the wall, and I was out of my body. The Goddess had arrived.

When this possession occurred, I backed my way out of the room, the women followed and guarded my body outside to all the Villagers who hastily gathered with their children for Oshun’s blessing.

But there was a great difference with this possession from all the others I had experienced before.

With this one, I could think, but these thoughts were not operating inside of my body. My consciousness was shifted aside, as though across the street, while my body was operating mechanically of its own. It was a frightening experience. All I could do was shout within my own consciousness, “Let me back inside my body! I don’t want to stay here! Let me back in!“

So let me tell you this–

We all have layers of ourselves. There is the human, the one that is emotional and ignorant. But beyond that feeble human, is an entity far more mighty. You might have imagined that Oshun, an invisible Spirit, walked into my body and controlled it. But that is not the case.

Oshun, the Deity, that is aligned with me, the force that I have come to the world through, was dormant within me. By ‘dormant’ I mean has been vibrating higher than me, however because I had not been awakened to “her” mysterious powers being apart of my person, and now that I have come to align with “her” through this initiation, “she” had been awoken and had risen up within me.

Now let me remove the figurative/mythological language and tell you this way: a higher consciousness of myself, had begun its operations through my body. It was not “another entity” that entered– but a higher vibrational layer of me that had been unearthed from the depths of my consciousness. (And if you see these explanations on TikTok next week, know they got it from Embracing Spirituality).

The body is just a vessel, a spaceship.

There is a difference between the particular possession that I experienced while going through my personal initiation, as opposed to what I experienced when I entered Zion Church and also when I went to Africa. The first, which is the one when I was going through my initiation, that one was specific to higher vibrational Beings outside of our world, during my initiation, having plugged me in to almost like a Cosmological Broadcasting System. This had been happening since I was a child unbeknownst to me.

This Broadcasting System is almost like having a tower that emits everything that is happening throughout our world, whatever those messages were, I was able to discern. But the power does not lie with me. It lies with my ability to receive and interpret what is being told to me to deliver from the Broadcasting System that is not of our physical world.

It’s like when you are watching the television and the the news suddenly appears to say, “We interrupt this program to bring you a message…“

As for the church, so many bodies in one place, stamping feet, clapping hands, shouting different calls, so many spiritual doors are thrown open. And everyone is communicating with many different Non-Physical beings within that one space.

Even though the church is shouting Jesus and proclaiming Holiness, the real churches are the human beings, themselves. If a man is not clean in his mind and heart, and he attends a church setting fervent with activity, his vibration, his truth (though hidden to others) is read like a book by the Invisible World. So what “possesses” his body is not the “Holy Ghost” because often times, he is not clean enough to host it!

Let the church say Amen?

It was my Africa initiation where I realized that through spirituality and through ritualistic procedures and acts, one is able to come to an understanding about their consciousness and how Beings within yourself can wake you up to the true and real you, for there is so much of you that is hidden from you.

Spiritual possession can be a great thing, if it is true. But unfortunately, so many in the pursuit of power and applause, are not truthful.

May the Force be with all of you in its true and living sense,

I love you all,

Obara (Cosmological, Universal Broadcaster) Meji

“You ask, how can you know the Infinite (spirit)? I answer, not by reason (intellect). […] You can only know the Infinite by a power superior to reason, by entering into a state in which you are no longer your finite self, a state in which the Divine Essence can communicate to you.”
