6.3. Cultural Posession

We often observe spirit-calling ceremonies among indigenous peoples, where the 'possessed' engage in dances for cultural celebrations, rituals, or other purposes. While this openness to spirits might implant negative images, feelings, or concepts within their minds—potentially causing resistance to the concept of Christ when confronted—it is highly questionable whether these individuals are truly possessed. In some cultures, dances are combined with displays of supposed supernatural powers to further convince the audience of possession.

Their behavior, however, often resembles a person actively engaging their brain in a simulated state, running under the concept of possession. This is similar to performers dancing on stage while following choreography; in these rituals, the choreography is based on their internal projection of the spirit's concept they are embodying.

As for the spiritual 'powers' they display, such as being pierced without bleeding or running on seemingly sharp glass, these acts often align with techniques seen in the entertainment sector. Achieving such feats likely requires a combination of self-reinforcement beliefs, NLP-like preparation, or hypnosis, allowing them to suppress pain or fear temporarily.
