Ever had a theory or an organised resolutive pathway
proposed in the mind but seldom ever managed to find the ability to place it
into a simple equation or a sentence that would be passable in society or
translatable to the crowds en-mass, thus have it tangled up inside your head
for days, weeks, months if not years? Well, welcome to my world.
However, having been now officially diagnosed with
Aspergers + ADHD Adult Type ICD10 (thank you Professor Michael Fitzgerald); and
removed myself from certain stresses in my life I have a found a way; I don’t
necessarily think in pictures at all times but I think in constant concepts and
thus I have mastered a way to theorise while my head speaks a conceptual
language seldom able to be fathomed by the common normality of NT human beings.
I call it “Mind-Mapping” the slow and sometimes tenuous
process of theorising conceptuality then translating it to the actuality of
words and pictures; this new blog post is going to be one of the first times I
have openly attempted to do this.
For many, many years I was fascinated by the paranormal,
at first I was a big believer in ghosts, demons and the such like; until one
day I deemed myself a sceptic, why? Science and I think a dash of common sense.
One thing that has been repeated time
and time again in the imagination of human kind is the fascination of, Demonic
Possession.
I remember watching The Exorcist, that reverse crab walk
that almost made me drop my pint because, and speaking in non-literal terms, I
shit myself; then onto The Exorcism of Emily Rose, plus plenty of others I
could name, however, it was that last one I saw, the Emily Rose story, the
re-hash of the true Anneliese Michel story, a German student who in the 1970s
was proposed to have been possessed by demons, poor girl rest her soul, thanks
to the homicidal negligence of the “treatment” she was delivered.
However, it was that story in the court room scenes of
“...Emily Rose” that really brought about the argument of Demonic Possession vs
Mental Health. We heard conditions such
as, Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, MPD, DID, etc, etc, which I think are actually
symptoms of a much larger cause. But it
got me thinking, now trust me, when an Aspie thinks, the world should hold its
breath.
Now first off, consider the pictorial graph I drew that
is below ; this is a working model of how I see a condition called, MPD
(Multiple Personality Disorder) or the modern equivalent DID (Dissociative
Identity Disorder). Study it for a few
moments before carrying on.
So the model demonstrates the mechanics of typical MPD
utilising the perspective of how transitioning from one personality to another
possibly through stress or when the subject is faced with emotional dilemmas. It is this condition which I was mostly
wanting to concentrate on to bring about what I truly theorise Demonic
Possession to actually be.
From research I have done, there does occur a more
dominant alternative personality that emerges, one that seems to come about
more often than the others; so here I hypothesise that, as opposed to Multiple it is in fact, a singular personality disorder, or as I
would like to call it...
Personality Duality Conflict Disorder
Let me explain, as opposed to a patient who exhibits
several personalities, in this instance there is in fact only two, the original
personality and a whole new one; but like a freak wave swallowing up the kinetic
energy of the smaller waves around it, this one rears up as a dominant force;
see the new model below...
Think of it like this; on your computer you have a
desktop, operated by a hard drive, imagine the desktop is the mind and the hard
drive is the brain, the computer is the person.
When you save folders onto the desktop, think of those as personalities;
the key thing is, they all have somewhere to go and the hard drive processes
them.
However, in the event of Personality Duality Conflict
Disorder, I believe a whole new desktop tries to enforce itself anew of the
hard drive, completely replacing the original one. So thus the person is ultimately at war with themselves;
the brain is utterly overloaded and the host body goes into hay wire or a more
chronologically expanded meltdown.
Many a demonic possession also has been documented as
initially hearing voices, seeing things, sound familiar? Schizophrenia, I
believe is an initial symptom while the new personality attempts to take hold.
Now, at this stage it is important to stress that there is a condition called
“Demonopathy” a form of Monomania where the subject is in the belief they are being
taken over by a demonic spirit; I believe Monomania is possibly the case in
some circumstances; however, how could a new personality share the suspicions
of the former host unto itself? If they did, that would mean personalities
working collaboratively which doesn’t happen, when one emerges it is a takeover
often leaving the original host in a state of complete irreversible amnesia of
the previous personality’s actions when retuning. That’s why for me it doesn’t
go far enough.
As well as voices, illusions, there is also documented
accounts of fitting, convulsions, etc, sounds like epilepsy, now, put these
conditions together; it would be fair to say these are in fact symptoms, not
overall diagnoses.
So, how could the brain propagate a whole new version of
itself? Well, the brain as we know is more or less redundant at any one time
apart from 10-20%, depending on task, that we use, like the desktop, there is a
lot of available space, masses of unused neurons or pathways. If, a new version of one’s self was to need a
neurological pathway, it couldn’t use already occupied space so thus, utilises
what is left and wars for supremacy. Not
in the sense of actual combatant warfare, but more so in the sense that the
brain is now warring against itself in the belief of warring against an
invader.
As it has been long theorised, when these parts of the
brain are now in use, telepathy, telekinesis, subconscious memories or
information is increased in probable viability. All you need to do is deep
regressive hypnosis to retrieve deep rooted or long forgotten information; so
when you have accounts of the subject able to speak languages they previously
didn’t know or have the ability to fathom intelligence when apparently reading
someone’s mind, now it all makes sense.
The brain would be firing off in all sorts of directions;
the human body when sprinting can produce 1630 watts of energy so it’s of
little surprise that telekinesis via a form of electrical magnetic resonance,
interfering with the field around the subject could cause objects to move. Magnetic impulses and static electricity have
many a time been blamed for people seeing ghosts so what’s to say that other’s
around the “possessed” person isn’t also being interfered with by the sudden
increased static charge created by a brain that is completely overwhelmed via
pretty much all its neurons firing at once.
Think what electricity is, think what it can do to muscles of the body, is it then little wonder that Holy Water then appears to burn and the subject is able to display frightening physical feats, high jumping, leaping, body contortions, etc.
The enormous list of symptoms that would encompass a
brain working at such a pace and at such a high number of neurons firing at
once, would be incredible, eye dilation (often mistaken for blackened demonic
eyes, a sign of evil), deep rooted education now accessible (languages,
knowledge), over stimulated auto immune defence (welts, sores, boils), epilepsy
(convulsions fits, foaming at the mouth), schizophrenia (illusions, voices),
the list goes on, all of which are present in accounts of “demonic possession”.
All of this, as I said, I believe is a collective list of
symptoms, not caused by demons or dark spirits, but by a brain being wholly
taken over by a brand new version of itself, causing the brain and the body to
repel the “invader” causing all forms of complications, boiling it down to...
Personality Duality Conflict Disorder
Think about it, if the body can grow bone atop an
existing skeleton (Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)), what’s not to
suggest the brain cannot create a whole new personality in place of its
existing self?
So to end, I will quote a part of the script from the
movie, The Exorcist...
Father Damien Karras: I think it might be helpful if I gave
you some background on the different personalities Regan has manifested. So
far, I'd say there seem to be three. She's convinced...
(Father Merrin Interrupts)
Father Merrin: There is only one.
Thank you for reading.
