The fascinating and troubling history behind the Ouija board; Is it just a simple and harmless game, or a diabolical window into the spirit world?

Not contrary. Basic logic. if they are participating in exorcism they HAVE to believe. If they didn’t believe they wouldn’t be participating. It IS mental illness, schizophrenia, delusional behavior, and a little munchausen by proxy reinforcement coming from the exorcist.

"The boards do NOTHING."

Multiple exchanges with you on this thread say just as much; and that the main issue is a person seeking out communication with the spiritual realm.

If you so desire, I will put in the request. My prayers are with you and may you be guided through the experience you are requesting.

And yet the fear the board. Thus showing they don’t believe that, and that they are fools.

Well, I cant speak for others fear or not of the board.

True story: my wife and I rented a beautiful farm home in rural Virginia a few months ago...used to be a poorhouse for the county in the 1800's with many acres for farming. Found a closet full of board games in a closet. We declined to play the Ouija in the stack and also had no weird events during our stay (except for a family of groundhogs eating the barn cat's food).

“seeking out communication with the spiritual realm.”

Perception of reality is a function of the frequency of consciousness from which it is viewed. (Prayer raises a person’s operational frequency of consciousness)

The problem is that most people live in a “Flat Consciousness Society” and like the “Flat Earth Society” do not have the intelligence or consciousness development to perceive beyond their very limited five physical body senses.

When a person learns to change frequencies of consciousness, just as changing tuning frequency on a TV tuner changes channels, so does a person’s perception of reality and abilities. This is how the mystics of all religions do what they do.

Scientific inquiry from a materialistic perspective can be applied to spirituality as consciousness itself when perceived from a higher frequency of consciousness is physical to the observer.

“Anything that takes one’s focus of off God potentially invites evil. “

Your entire comment is 100% accurate.

"If it is necessary for a good spirit to contact you directly (and it happens), then it will be under the direction of God doing something for you a mortal can’t do. Best to work on your relationship with God and the Holy Spirit than try to contact good spirits directly."

Exactly right. When engaging in occult practices, it is impossible to tell a spirit is good if he wants to conceal it from you. Angels (including fallen angels, i.e., demons) have a superior intellect to ours and will deceive us as it suits their purpose. That is why the Bible forbids recourse to mediums and seers-- when we place ourselves in that situation, we are just asking for trouble, no matter how smart and spiritually strong we think we are.

I would never make a threat relating to this or any other topic. Thoughts manifest and we must be very careful asking for anything.

I have no power or ability. I am merely an empty vessel. Any work that is done is through me and not by me.

All work is done through prayer. So I merely forward the request. I make no judgement. I’ve been stung by nasties many times over the years. When it happens, it is a lesson for me to step aside and allow.

The entire political battle right now is a battle of the weeds vs the “good seeds.” We are in very interesting times.

Blessings

It’s an invitation to the spirit world, and that open door can permit evil spirits in. I know that many antique dealers won’t touch them at any price. Scoffers are simply “unenlightened” and luckily so.

Yep. Know a young lady who played with one for a short while until her 4 year old daughter started screaming one night during the “playing” and screamed “MOMMY, WHO IS THAT MAN?!!?” while pointing into an empty space in the room.

You said you’d send the next nasty spirit you encountered at me. That is a threat. Well it would be if there were such a thing.

Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

These abilities, often termed “gifts”, are the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, increased faith, the gifts of healing, the gift of miracles, prophecy, the discernment of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues.

1 Corinthians 12

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

“to another distinguishing between spirits”

It is interesting...but I no longer have interest in it. Christians are told multiple times in the Bible to not engage in such things.

Realizing this kind of thing can be dangerous, perhaps you should not copy me on that.;-)

Please note, the exact words I used were “if you so desire.” I am not attached to your experiences.

That is not a threat, it is merely an offer to put in the request if you want the experience. I would never make a deal with darkness as that alone would open me to getting stung.

I’ve been doing this too many years and have made many painful mistakes/learning experiences over the years. If I did it, I would be responsible for your experience. That is not something I desire to participate in.

My O board told me to drink vodka and run down the street naked.

I’ll never do that again.

Stupid board.

Mt research interest is the neuroscience of the Bible.

Most live their lives in the lower Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta frequencies and never develop to the Gamma frequencies.

Everything that Jesus teaches are the practices and values necessary for this developmental journey. The teaching leads to an awakening or awareness and full experience that Jesus is already here helping us.

If you believe the evil spirits to exist then it is a threat. The addition of weasel words doesn’t change that. “I’d shoot you in the head if you want” is still a threat, even with the additional words.

So what we know for sure about you is that you are a weasel. Good bye.

"Everything that Jesus teaches are the practices and values necessary for this developmental journey."

The work of Christ is about the redemption of those who are His; through his loving sacrifice on the cross.
