An extraction is the removal of an external, invasive or "dark"
energy. Extractions have also been referred to as: releasing spirit attachments, exorcism,
possession/depossession or releasing entity attachments. There is a great deal of misinformation about
this process. Many images and/or belief systems concerning this energetic invasion come from a dualistic
perspective. It is a commonly held belief that "dark" and "light" energies are
opposite and entirely separate from each other. Energy that is labeled as "dark" has been the
subject of much fear and judgment. It is generally thought that this "darker" energy originates
from something outside of ourselves. It is easy to see how this belief would arise. This is a dualistic
world.

Everything on this planet is a result of creation. Human beings are individuations of Source or God that
were given the ability to create. The human experience, both individually and collectively, requires that
people create a system of meaning. By doing so they define themselves and how they want to live.
|

Every human being has a shadow side. So does human consciousness. The
shadow side holds parts of ourselves that can be difficult to look at and are frequently ignored. When
people choose not to recognize their wounding and take
responsibility for the shadow they don't allow themselves to be truly who they are. The energy
required to maintain this state of denial feeds the shadow side. When this is done often enough or
repeated over lifetimes, the shadow strengthens until it dominates. If a person dies in this state he/she
may choose to remain disincarnated as a pure manifestation of the wounding. Over a long period of time
these disembodied beings can evolve into entities or demons.
|
As individuals develop belief systems so do groups such as; organizations, religions, countries or
regions. These belief systems can include racial prejudice, fear of terrorists, fear of the devil and
mistrust of people who make different choices, to name a few. The amount of energy channeled into these
belief systems can be enormous. These beliefs are frequently anchored in judgment, blame or fear and
handed down. Through the course of generations these beliefs or thought forms acquire enough substance to
exist as independent entities.

Entity: A being that is non-physical and created by human consciousness. They are a manifestation of the shadow side of human
consciousness and are issue specific. Entities have a definite, individual existence and a limited
consciousness. Usually entities attach to a person or person's energy
field. Entities feed off of the issue that created them and act on impulse.
|
Demon: Another type of entity, that is again a manifestation of the
shadow side of human experience. Demons are older, more experienced and predatory. They may have very
specific abilities and are capable of rational thought. Demons are not issue specific. They can exist on
the physical plane independently of a human host. However, in order to secure their presence on this
plane, an individual or a group must support them. Demons have the ability to merge with human beings if
the human being is agreeable.
|
Disembodied Spirit: Disembodied spirits are people who have died
and not found a way to move on. Some of these spirits are simply confused or unaware that they are dead.
Others linger out of concern for loved ones, the desire to pass on a message or complete unfinished
business. In both cases, these souls are looking for assistance and gravitate to those who can sense them.
There are souls who are fixed or stuck who get caught in the duality
experienced by their personalities. Feelings of anger, resentment, greed, the desire for revenge and
attachment to power or possessions can also prevent a soul from moving on. Dying in an unexpected or
traumatic way can also inhibit a soul's ability to move on.

Most entities are issue specific; so they're attracted to a particular type of wounding. Addiction entities are probably the most common example. Thought
form entities are another specific type of entity. A thought form entity is a non-physical being. Like
other entities, they are a manifestation of the shadow side of human
consciousness. Unlike other types of entities, thought form entities are thought rather than issue
specific. Individual human beings tend to develop thought patterns around their wounding. Because human
beings share the same core issues, people throughout history have
repeatedly created the same thought patterns. Examples of this are: "I'm not good enough",
"I'm unworthy", and "I'm unlovable".
|
Thought is a creative force. Over millions of years, the creative energy of these repetitive thoughts
gained strength and form. Like other types of entities, thought form entities have a definite, individual
existence and a limited consciousness. They are attracted to the same repetitive thoughts that created
them. Ongoing Earth shifts contribute to the rise and emergence of these entities.

Entities, demons and disembodied spirits can become attracted to a person for a number of different
reasons. Entities and demons are attracted to wounding that will
meet their needs. For example, addiction entities are attracted to the wounding and process of addiction.
When a person engages in an addiction it is a means of escape that involves surrendering personal power
and fear of engagement with what is. The surrender of personal power, living in fear and denial creates
energetic openings in a person.
|
|
The process can be similar with demons. However, there are some differences. Demons are more intelligent
than entities. They are capable of enticing a person into allowing them in. This is rarely done directly.
By shape shifting or working through others they can disguise themselves and their true intentions. Demons
have the ability to perceive a person's ego driven desires and offer a means to fulfill them. The
fulfillment involves making an agreement that allows the demon access to the person. An agreement may also
have been made in a parallel life that allows a demon access to a
person in their current life time. Agreements do not necessarily terminate upon death. Demons may also
make agreements that give them access to entire family lineages; so the demon and the agreement get passed
down from generation to generation.
|
|
Entities and demons see energetic openings as an invitation to attach. Openings are created by fear
that is not addressed, consistently giving power away and not working on personal wounding. These openings are created over a period of time by long
standing patterns of denial.
|
Some disembodied spirits are tied to a person with whom they have unfinished business. Others are anchored
to a place which holds unresolved issues or traumatic experiences. As previously mentioned, they can
simply be lost and gravitate to people who can sense them. In any case, the intention of these beings
differs from that of entities and demons.
|
|
|
Entities and demons are attracted to people with wounding that
will meet their needs. This means that person already has a tendency toward behavior or is already
engaging in behavior that the entity or demon finds attractive. For the most part, entities and demons
only exploit behaviors, fears, and wounding that a person already has. Entities and demons can magnify
fears, amplify obsessive thought patterns, aggravate unresolved wounding, and exploit unacknowledged parts
of a person's shadow side. They cannot force a person to do something he/she was not already open to
doing, on a conscious or unconscious level.
|
|
If a person is pushed to the point of desperation, he/she can chose to give up or surrender his/her will
to the demon or entity. When this occurs, the demon or entity is in control of the person and can prod
him/her into behaving in ways that may look like he/she is being controlled. A person contending
with this may experience these periods of time as blackouts, where he/she does things he/she doesn't remember later.
However, this is not the
result of a demon or entity forcing their will onto a person. It is the result of the person choosing to
surrender control to the demon or entity.
|
It generally takes a demon or entity years to push a person into surrendering to them. However, if a
person is extremely disconnected from his/her shadow side, is "mentally ill", or adamantly
refuses to work on his/her wounding, it's easier for a demon
or entity to push that person to the point of desperation.

This is a tricky question. There is no single foolproof way to identify a person who has been
energetically invaded. The issue has been further confused by the way that possession is depicted in
Hollywood movies. Unlike movie presentations, there are rarely any blatantly obvious signs of energetic
invasion that can not also be attributed to other sources. Additionally, entities and demons can be
attached to someone without being present all the time. In most cases a person who has been invaded is
aware, on some level, of a consistent or periodic unwanted presence. The awareness can be experienced
physically, mentally, emotionally or energetically.
|
|
There are possible symptoms that can indicate energetic invasion. However, a person's history,
self-perception, circumstances and physical condition must be taken into account. Again, these symptoms
can also be attributed to other causes. Possible symptoms include:
