for this to harm you or otherwise you need to find some one
who practice exorcism to remove this evil... But many are just pretending to be good at it and help you not but squeeze money out of you with tales and stories... There is another type of possessions and that is not through a sorcerer but directly by coincidence what man is at his weakest moments and those weakest moments
for a possessions are when you come through a great fear or when cry or laugh loudly in hysteria, or during a certain moment of mating... or even when sneezing loudly... That's why there are prayers to be said on daily basis to guard you from such things and specially if passing haunted places such as deserted houses but most evil ones are residents of public toilets and market places... Some of them even would claim that you have made a wrong action by which you have killed a dear one to them and
for that they have possessed you and that is mostly night time such as throwing a cigaret butt to a dark place or stepping killing an insect or even an animal at night which could have been one of them or possessed by one of them... So this is true thing happening to many
who suffer unexplainable illnesses or sufferings which could look like mental illness that comes and goes as pleased...

I am
for the elimination of hate, fear and control, religion is just the catalyst that

religious people who don't hate, fear or control, there are also many beliefs such as paganism, Buddism, Taoism, which doesn't use hate fear, and self righteousness to condemn others, I think if maybe more of the most major religions followed there teachings then we wouldn't have as much problems as we do.
