coyotesong,
A good point! Most of the possessions that I have had to work with have been a result of an emotional imbalance of the host as well as a lack of knowlege of the entity as well. Just because the entity no longer has a physical body(ie.is dead) does not garuantee that it has aquired any futher knowledge that it did in life.
On the contrary, many of the the spirits that are summoned by mediums are very confused at their death and don't know what to do next.(Some will not even accept that they are dead) Many will go to their nearest and dearest as they don't know where else to go.When the loved one becomes out of alignment as a result of shock or extreme emotional imbalance, the entity can attach.
You introduce another interesting topic in your reply.All of the entities that I remove from hosts want nothing more than to go to "the other side".They have been in the world of the living for too long after death,and want nothing more than to go to their Maker, to be healed.
There are as many reasons that they do not pass to "the other side", as there are entities. Each has it's own reason, it is called choice.
I have yet to meet an alcoholic,drug addict,sex addict, gambler,child molester,etc. etc. that does not have a possession. Multiple personality disorders, manic depression and many other psycotic disorders are classic cases of entity possession.Unfotunatly many people are comfortable with their alter egos and use the as an excuse for bad emotinal dicipline.
Your Holy cleansing may well have come as a good kick in the ass, but the kick must have come just at the right time. Nobody can heal another. At best,we can allow them to heal themselves.
Vaya con Dios,
Guy
