Exorcism and Healing

Dear Ms. Eve,

I am a lapsed Catholic but I believe that the Catholic expertise in Exorcism could be useful for dealing with my husband. Every other night he comes home pissed off about work and has some cocktails, or actually a couple of big drinks and then settles himself in front of the TV and watches the news channels. And then he starts yelling alot and cursing and acting like a real slob. This has only happened recently but it's getting to be a problem because I like who he is the rest of the week but I can't stand the SOB he becomes when he watches the news and drinks. Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's the news but he is like two different people. How can I get rid of the bad one? Then he snores all night and hardly remembers anything the next day and is sweet again. His job is really stressful so that's part of the problem. Anyway, should I go back to church and get some help there? I feel he is bringing a stranger into the house and I want to kick the stranger out.

Dear Married/Chained,

My sympathies to you dear.
Well, I was thinking about the exorcism question, and I have to admit, the Catholics do have a certain flair for the drama of this type of healing. But before I suggest you go back to church for a full scale "extraction", lets take a look at what is going on.
As I look at what you are describing it seems to me you have a few problems to tackle--not just the unpleasant spirit that your husband channels when he is drinking. Yes, you are right he is channeling an entity, and that is not uncommon. After all, how many people describe their relative or friend just absolutely changing personalities after a few drinks?
But first of all there is your husbands job which is causing him so much stress. He is in a very bad "karmic" situation there in that the people who surround him at work are not in agreement to his success. And there is no sense being supported or of there being leadership or team management etc etc, whatever those business terms are. The vibration is more like a battlefield in a disorganized useless war. Everyone there is in a rut. I believe the best thing for your husband is to decide to believe he can do better and go out and create another job situation. Don't tell me it's impossible, because from where I sit, it looks possible, and your husband has some leadership qualities that need to be explored and used. When your husband is at work he believes he should be a team player and he unconsciously matches the energy/vibe/patterns--everything--of his co-workers. His values and dreams are out of place there. The question is (for him) --Why does he stay?

So he has got to make the commitment for both of you to get out of there and take the risk to do what he really wants. I suggest seeing a job counselor, a career coach, anything to help with this transition.
Now the entity he channels has been handed down through his father and grandfather etc etc--it has been with the family for 500 years. This is an opportunity for your husband to break free of this family pattern that has restricted the wellness in his male family line for so long. It usually comes in to the decendent's life in the 30s and through alcohol most easily, but also through the pain of thwarted ambitions and a sense of failure. It is up to your husband to decide if this will be his destiny. I suggest you gently open up some discussions about his father and grandfather and see if you can help him see the connections. If he can decide to bust through the limits of his forefathers, he will be fine and will begin to reclaim his authority over his own body and consciousness. Of course, cutting out the drinking until he can have this freedom of limits, and authority, is mandatory. I see that you two are a strong pair and can tackle this together. Show him the full length of my response letter (rather than this abbreviated version) on a good day, of course, and see what happens.
I'd hate to see you look in vain in the Catholic Church for the type of healing that you need, although, the church certainly has helped some. Of course, I kinda wonder when they first refined their skills--like, was it during the Inquisition? Just a quick look at the collective memories in our human consciousness of 800 years of Inquisition gives you plenty to think about.
Now, if we are talking a staight, normal-like psychic healing, no being tied to the bed for days and sweating blood and so on, for your husband, I definitely encourage you to explore the many types of energy healing out there. But the most important thing is that your husband wants this change, is engaged in it, and makes the commitment for himself. Meanwhile take good care of yourself dear, and don't worry, it is going to be OK.

Love, Ms.Eve
