For centuries Eastern traditions have taken the subject of entity possession quite seriously. Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, recognizes bhutas or entities and their influence on mental and physical well-being, as well as the ways they can be evicted from the individual. Now, in a work that is unique in Western literature, Dr. Samuel Sagan examines the problem of these incorporeal beings that attach themselves to human beings as parasites, causing various emotional, mental and physical problems. A landmark study that presents sound analysis and treatment of this phenomenon, Entity Possession demystifies a topic that has long been overdramatized by the folklore surrounding possession and exorcism.
Using actual case studies of the "hungry ghost" phenomenon, Dr. Sagan analyzes their mechanisms and motivations, presenting the facts of entity possession, and including many tips on how to dislodge these parasites from the individuals whose lives are thrown out of balance by their presence.

"This book helps you understand what entity possession is, the various forms it takes . . . [and] how you can release these entities."

“This is a fascinating exploration of a little known but important aspect of the afterlife and our relationship to it. Far from being spooky or supernatural, Entity Possession examines the natural and common events that trigger entities and their parasitic attachment. . . . It is a fundamental book for those interested in the paranormal. It is clear, interesting, rich in cultural perspective, and written by someone involved but objective.”

A DIFFERENT TWIST ON ENTITY POSSESSION,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Entity Possession: Freeing the Energy Body of Negative Influences (Paperback)
Those who accept spirit possession usually think in terms of an "earthbound" spirit taking control of a human or at least influencing that person. However, the entity possession that the author of this book addresses is not quite the same thing. "Entities are not full human spirits who have lost their way and become attached to a living human being," Dr. Sagan explains. "If four weeks after the death of your aunt you happen to catch an entity that feels like her, it is just a fragment of her astral body, not her immortal soul trapped inside you." A graduate of the Paris 5 Faculty of Medicine, who also studied Sanskrit, Sagan now direct the Clairvision School in Sydney, Australia. There he helps clients dislodge themselves of these astral "parasites" through an expanded state of perception. The book contains many case studies in which clients are brought to focus on an entity and then to clear themselves of it. While apparently unique in Western parapsychology, such entity possession is, according to Sagan, well documented in Eastern esoteric sources. To help us understand it, Sagan first explains the four-fold nature of the human being. The lower complex is the physical body and the etheric body. The etheric is the life of the physical and apparently seen as the aura. The upper complex is the astral body and the Ego or Higher Self. Our thoughts and emotions are contained within the astral body, which is entangled like a spider web around the Ego and encased within the etheric body. At physical death, the upper complex separates from the lower, leaving the physical body to decay and the etheric body to dissolve in the ethers. However, as the etheric body dissolves, the shattering of the astral body begins. Sagan says that it is not uncommon for the astral fragments to retain their etheric parts with which they used to be connected. These fragments are imprinted with characteristics of the person, including cravings, addictions, emotions, and traits. If the person was an alcoholic, his astral fragments go wandering around in astral space looking for something to satisfy them. As like attracts like in the astral world, an alcoholic fragment will be attracted to living people who crave alcohol. The etheric body of living humans has its own defense mechanism. Therefore, it is usually in "high risk" situations, such as surgery, an accident, or intoxication, when the defense mechanism is down, that the astral parasites can attach themselves. While mainstream medicine no doubt looks askance at Sagan, he writes with authority and conviction. Most of it makes metaphysical sense, or at least as much sense as the alternative theories. It is an intriguing read.

This review is from: Entity Possession: Freeing the Energy Body of Negative Influences (Paperback)
Dr.Sagan's Entity Possession is written with a matter-of-fact tone that this subject matter deserves. A straight-forward scientific presentation of subtle energy influences without the mystical journey overtones. A must read for serious Energy Healers and anyoneone else that perceives subtle energies.

Practical information,
This review is from: Entity Possession: Freeing the Energy Body of Negative Influences (Paperback)
Dr Sagan manages to normalise a phenomenom that is really quite mis-understood or not even seen in the world today.Through concise documentatin of case studies he clearly outlines how to find them and what types of effects that result in ones energy and mind due to their intrusion. He also discusses the mechanisms by which they got there in the first place. In his book, it appears that these little parasties of our body of energy are not easy to get, but once in there and observed, can be easily removed by a qualified entity clearer. A fascinating read into the entity phenomenum....
