What happens to a person who believes they are possessed?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"When you believe you are possessed, it is merely the absence of your inner light; awaken your awareness, and the darkness will dissolve."
According to Osho, “possession” happens when your inner light is absent: the devil is only darkness—your unconsciousness. Believing you’re possessed deepens sleep and lets repressed madness surface, so you feel taken over. Don’t fight the devil; switch on awareness—bring God in. With alertness, presence, and meditation, the so‑called possession evaporates by itself.
It’s like being scared of the dark—turn on the light of awareness and the “monster” vanishes because it was only your own shadow.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from fear to awareness: meditate, breathe, and watch thoughts; light ends darkness.
- Stop battling imagined demons; cultivate presence and clarity instead.
- Use mindful observation or journaling to reveal and dissolve unconscious patterns.
