Podcast appearances and mentions of James R Lewis

Falun Gong is familiar to many as a spiritual exercise movement, and a sect that has been persecuted by the People's Republic of China. In Sydney you'll often see practitioners demonstrating by Town Hall with flyers sharing stories of organ harvesting of wrongfully imprisoned members. But former devotees have come forward with stories of coercion and abuse, alleging that in one thing the CCP is correct: Falun Gong is a socially harmful cult.Full research sources listed here.Links:“I am the only one propagating true Dharma”: Li Hongzhi's Self-Presentation as Buddha and Greater — by James R.

Are we living in a giant terrarium for aliens? This tantalizing question forms the backbone of our thrilling episode, as we navigate the murky waters of alien abductions, and the possible involvement of the bizarre Men in Black. Hear firsthand accounts from individuals who've encountered these enigmatic figures, and hang onto your seats as we delve into the spine-chilling tale of Harold Dull's UFO encounter from 1947 - the first-ever sighting of a Man in Black. With the help from the stories of folklore expert James R. Lewis, we sift through tales of the Men in Black, debating their reality and exploring their potential links with alien abductions. Could they be government agents, shape-shifters, or even skin-walkers? We've got a packed booth of guests to shed light on these questions, including detailed dissections of the descriptions of Men in Black from John Keel and Albert K. Bender. Finally, we'll be examining the captivating world of alien abductions. From landmark cases of the mid-1950s and 1960s to a pre-1900 abduction report from the Stockton California Daily Mail, the journey is nothing short of fascinating. We'll also consider the possibility that we might be living in a giant terrarium for extraterrestrial creatures. Join us for a riveting conversation, and prepare to have your reality turned on its head.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

On an autumn day back in 1994, authorities from a tiny ski village in Canada's Laurentian Mountains responded to reports of a house fire. What they discovered inside was chilling: two bodies, at first believed to be suicides.  But the investigation didn't end there. Three more victims would be discovered, stabbed to death. The very next day, two small towns in Switzerland were rocked by eerily similar tragedies.

Victoria Nelson saw it first: Popular culture teems with occult ideas, vestiges of bygone belief, fragments of ancient magic disguised as common entertainment. Her 2001 work The Secret Life of Puppets is in many ways the ur-text of weird studies, so prescient and probing it is even more relevant now than it was when it first appeared. In episode 128 (https://www.weirdstudies.com/128), Phil and JF discussed Nelson's wonderful first novel Neighbor George (2021). In this episode, Nelson joins the hosts of Weird Studies to talk about the vision that drove her to write Secret Life along with its equally insightful follow-up, Gothicka.

Welcome to one of the most highly documented periods in Tarot history: the codification of western occultism, the rise and prominence of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and the creation of the Smith-Waite Tarot deck. It's a time marked by problematic syncretism, in which initiatory fraternities invented stories and misappropriated spiritual knowledge in an attempt to make their version of the Tarot more "legitimate." Although many of these practices have been cloaked in secrecy for centuries, we're bringing them to light in today's chapter of Tarot history! Tell us what you think!

DEFINICIÓNTanto en la religión como en el folclor, la posesión se caracteriza por un cambio en el comportamiento y en la perosnalidad de una persona. Los cambios, se presentan como evidencia de que un poder sobre natural está tomando el control de dicha persona.¿Cómo reocnocer si alguien sufre una posesión? Movimiento violentos inusuales Alaridos, gritos, gemidos Habla completamente desconectada o sin sentido, o incluso un lenguaje completamente desconocido Si eres miembro de una religión te vuelves incapaz de rezar, dices blasfemias Demuestras miedo o terror de figuras u objetos sagrados No necesariamente, estos comportamientos son considerados producto de la religión. Sin embargo, en la Cristianidad (u otras religiones) consideran que este tipo de manifestasiones provinenen de una fuente maligna.si lo pensamos bien, el demonio no puede alojarse en cuerpos fuertes y bien nutridos por la fe, sino en aquellos que son susceptibles a lo desconocido y a lo terrible.Por el lado científico, se han realizado estudios y la manera en que abordan los temas de posesión por el lado de la psicología o psiquiatría. Consideran que puede manejarse esto por medio de medicamentos o psicología social. Algunas de las ocndiciones históricas han llegado a ser consideradas posesiones demoniacas - que platicaremos y haremos distinción más delante -.Aquellos practicantes de la ciencia, consideran cierto tipo de enfermedades que pudieran ser causantes de los cambios de comportamiento: Epilepsia Histeria Sonambulismo Esquizofrenia Fuera de religión y ciencia, por lo general, el poseído cae enfermo y termina expulsado por la comunidad considerado como alguien que ha realizado una transgresión espiritual.¿Cómo puedes recuperarte de una posesión? En el cristianismo, situaciones extremas requieren un exorcismo, que es lo que generalmente vemos en las películas, por lo general son entidades muy poderosas. Posesiones "menores", requiere que se arrepientan de sus pecados, que realicen un sacrificio. En otras ocasiones, el poseído funge como un medio de comunicación: les cambia la voz, dan el mensaje y el espíritu se va por sí solo. HISTORIAEn la biblia existen seis encuentros de posesción demoniaca, donde Jesús expele a dichos espíritus malignos.En la religión cristiana, consideran que una posesión puede darse por espíritus benévolos y malignos. Estas posesiones, por lo general, no duran mucho tiempo y no son alarmantes ni raras. Todo esto formaba parte de una vida con perspectiva espiritualista.¿Qué verdades nos trae una posesión?La vida después de la muerte. Es un ancla, una espranza a que existe un plano más allá de la vida terrenal.Las verdades, la posibilidad de venganza, la idea de que al final se sabrá la verdad a toda costa. Esto sirve también como un método moralista. ¿Por qué? Porque en vida debemos actuar acorde a lo benévolo, de otra forma, seremos objetivo de venganza paranormal.EXORCISMOS REALESLa palabra exorcismo proviene del griego "exousia". Como explica James R. Lewis, esto signigica "poner bajo juramento" y llamar a una entidad más poderosa para expeler el espíritu.CASOSAix-en-Provence, Francia (1611)La hermana Madeleine de Demandolx del convento Ursuline dijo que fue poseída por varios demonios: Baalberith (el señor del aquelarre), Beelzebub, Ashtharoth (maestro de las ciencias, revelación de eventos del pasado, presente y futuro) y Asmodeus (demonio de la lujuria). Lo que dijo la hermana fue que "tuvo visiones, bailó y cantó canciones de amor, se retorció en posturas indecentes y dijo cuentos de sodomía que hervían la sangre. Éstos comprendían el comerse a niños en fiestas de brujas que atendió"Los exorcismos realizados en la época medieval fueron raros.Lo platicamos en episodio anterior, las reglas oficiales de como realizar un exorcismo fueron punlicadas en 1614, producto de el auge que se dio sobre las posesiones y claro... las personas empiezaron a vender los servicios de exorsión, personas que no necesariamente provenían de la iglesia, causando muchos problemas para sacerdotes.Ahora, una persona que se vuelve violenta, que dice maldiciones, que pierde sus cabales, pudiera considerarse poseída. Estamos hablando que durante la época medieval, pues la mujer estaba recatada a los hogares y muchos hombres eran alcoholicos, por la facilidad de adquitir cerveza o vino aunado a que no había regulaciones. Encima de esto, tenemos la parte moral nuevamente por ejemplo, una posesión demoniaca pudiera considerarse una masturbación excesiva.Loudun (1634)El caso más famosos de posesión de histeria en la historia sucedió en el pequeño pueblo de Loudun. Se especuló que el Padre Urbain Grandier poseyó a varias monjas del convento de Ursuline. Las acusasiones comenzaron con la Madre superior Jeanne des Agnes, quien dijo que tuvo sueños demoniacos e ilícitos en donde aparecía el Padre Grandier. "Desafortunadamente, la torturada monja, por más que intentó realizar penitencia no pudo evitar mantene alejados dichos sueños. Después, otras monjas presentarían situaciones similares". Así, las otras monjas cayeron en una histeria colectiva y comenzaron a tener los mismos sueños.Se considera que los demonios principales de las posesiones de Loudun fueron Asmodeus (lujuria) y Zabulon. Conforme pasó el tiempo, más demonios comenzaron a agregarse a la lista de culpables: Iscaaron, Astatoth, Gresil, Amand, Leviatom... entre otrosAl final, el Padre Grandier fue acusado, torturado y convicto. Sentenciado a muerte y quemado vivo. supuestamente, las monjas fueron exorcisadas por otro Padre, Surin, un exorcista famoso de la época. Sin embargo, cayó bajo el poder de aquellos demonios que expelió y se volvió loco.En 1637, las posesiones terminaron, cuando el fraude fue descubierto =OEn la actualidadAnnelise Michel (1975)En 1969, con 17 años de edad, Anneliese comenzó a padecer extraños ataques y se creía que podía tener epilepsia.Fue internada en un hospital psiquiátrico pero su salud no mejoro, su depresión empeoro y los medicamentos tampoco la ayudaban.Empiezan a recetarle los primeros anticonvulcionantes, impone un efecto secundario, el cerebro, pierde sodio y promueve la abstinencia alimenticia.3 años asi y no había mejora alguna.En sus rezos, Anneliese declara tener visiones diabólicas y sus ataques epilépticos son mas fuertes y continuos. Empieza a escuchar voces las cuales les ordenaba que ella hiciera actos horribles.Y es ella misma que pide un exorcismo, pero le es negado. Las voces le decían que se iba a quemar en el infierno.Orinarse en el suelo, rasgarse la ropa, aventar y destruir imágenes religiosas, golpearse en las paredes ya era algo habitual.En 1973 los padres de Annelise empiezan la búsqueda de sacerdotes para poder realizar el exorcismo. Pero solo recibían el consejo para que sigan con los cuidados de los medicos, solo son infomados de los requisitos De la Iglesia para que un obispo pueda autorizar un exorcismo.Hasta el año de 1975 el obispo de Wursburg asigno a 2 sacerdotes para llevar a cabo el exorcismo.El rito duro 10 meses.El primero de julio de 1976 Annelise murió, malnutrición y deshidratación por casi un año, mientras el rito del exorcismo fue realizado.Créditos:Radio Horror es producido por Caro Arriaga y Rael Aguilar.Edición por Matías Beltrando desde Destek Soporte.Música Closing Theme Hounds of Love por Dan Luscombe (Intro)Insiders por Joe Crotty (Intro)Patchwork por Patchworker f.k.a.
