Hostage to the Devil by Malachi Martin is one of the most fascinating, yet disturbing books I have read (just about to finish it). I found it extremely beneficial to have read, listened to and watched a lot of information on the subject of Spirit Attachment here on the forum. Reading The Soul Rescue Manual by Patrick Rodriguez also helped. Personally, I would not recommend this book to anyone, unless they had a sincere interest in the subject. I felt it gave me a valuable insight into the true nature of evil (or rather my perception of it) - the silent, pervasive, subtlety deceptive manner in how it can manifest; and the hierarchal structure alluded to, that I found quite shocking.
A paragraph which I feel illustrates this, taken from the first case (I suspect that ‘Father Peter’ may have been based on the author himself, given references to places mentioned. Coincidentally, Malachi Martin comes from the same small Irish town as my father, where I once lived too briefly).
“The Presence was all over him, inside him, outside him. A total trap of cloying ropes he couldn’t see. He heard no word, saw no vision, smelled no odor. But his skin was no longer the protective shell of his mortality. His skin didn’t work! It was now a porous interface that let the invisible filth of the Presence ooze in. Worst of all was the silence of it. It was soundless. Suddenly he had been attacked and caught; and he knew his adversary was superior and ruthless, that it had invaded deep into the self he always hid from others and hoped only God did know and would never show him until he was strong enough to bear the sight.
He could not discern where the struggle lay. His confusion of mind was like molasses oozing over spiders, paralyzing every effort at control and every natural movement. Sometimes it seemed his will was made of rubber twisted this way and that and cruelly snapping back at his mind like a wet towel smacking the face. Sometimes his mind was a sieve through which stinging particles tumbled, each one tabbed with a jeering name: Despair! Dirt! Smell! Puny! Mush! Misery! Mockery! Hate! Beast! Shame!. . . There was no end to them. At other times, he realised, his mind and will were only exits, sewage pipes; and his imagination was the recipient of what they vomited. Out through them were pouring the shapes of the real struggle that lay in another dimension of himself. Deep down? High up? Conscious? Unconscious? Subconscious? He did not know. But certainly somewhere in the depths of the self he was. All the hidden valleys of that self were red with agony. Every high peak was a sharp slope of tumbling confusion. Each plain and corner was crammed with pressure and weight and sorrow. His imagination was now a cesspool swelling with gobs of repulsive images and twisted fears.
“I’m alone,” he thought, covering his face with his hands for an instant.
“Yes! Alone! Alone! Alone! Alone” came the answer in silent mockery.”
(page 72)
The quote from Michael Topper that Laura posted earlier perhaps describes this ‘Presence’ - as the
“Desolate One, a being who most directly embodies and promotes the ultimate negative”
and STS hierarchy and the necessity for deception at lower levels for more efficient feeding.
“This is the Ultimate Objective of the Being at the apex of the pyramidal food chain. And this is why its agenda is masked in the lower levels of the hierarchy. Until such lower level negative beings have consumed sufficient energy - a sort of critical mass - to trigger the implosion of such extraordinary self concentration, they are only interested in destroying that which resists their domination and preserving a vital minimum of captured resources so as to possess an ongoing supply of nutriment. They wish to control, or freeze the rate of planetary destruction and disintegration so as to technically conserve the intelligent life-form in a tractable state so as to render it a good "servant"."
This quote reminded me particularly of the recent Cs session concerning the higher level ‘advisers’ and ‘interpreters’ which again seems to allude to a hierarchal control structure;
Session Date: March 22nd 2014
Q: (Perceval) So, we have that explanation in the transcripts, what's going on with the passengers... Do any of the PTB on the planet know?
A: Of course! Why do you think there was such a comedown vis-a-vis Crimea and Russia?
Q: (L) You mean they had plans to be more aggressive and “in-their-faces”, and they... (Perceval) Why would the disappearance of the plane make them scared or make them back down? Was it "comedown", was that what was said? Like a retreat. So, basically the PTB backed down on Crimea and Russia and that whole situation because the plane disappeared and they were worried about...? (Pierre) So, if you lie too much, if you create too much chaos, like unjustified war, you might increase such a bleedthrough?
A: They have "advisors" and "interpretors" of such things.
Q: (Pierre) So the advisors said if they go on with the attack, and with lying and manipulating... (L) I don't think they would say that. (Perceval) They wouldn't spell it out. (L) I don't think that they would talk to them in those terms. (Pierre) What would they say? (L) Probably say something like, I dunno... Maybe they have some advisors and interpreters who say, "We did that, and if you don't back down, we're gonna do more!" Ya know, like threatening rather than explaining to them how to be good boys.
A: More or less.
and the following session of the importance of keeping a 'clean machine' to help mitigate from potential attack, attachment or possession.
Session Date: June 12th 2008
Q: (L) In other words, possession is a quality [process] of eating emotions. There have to be emotions. (Andromeda) What drives them, then?
A: Pure "nature". That's why there is so strong a bodily resonance. In a strange way they are more closely connected to the "divine stuff" of creation than you are. The sex center is directly connected with that heavy sleeping matter that just "loves to be loved" and creative.
Q: (Andromeda) What exactly is bodily resonance? (L) Is it something like limbic resonance?
A: Close but not exactly. It is similar to a forced vibration. When a creature with those properties is in proximity to wounded or weakened prey they can force the weakened body to their own frequency. Imagine a violin that has no music emanating. Then imagine some primitive string stretched taut. When it is plucked strongly, it doesn't matter how the violin is tuned. It will respond, and produce distortions of its true sound. Call it a "crime of opportunity" with other forces plucking his string. A one note samba, no doubt.
Like the saying goes “an empty mind is the Devil’s playground.” :)
