Hostage To The Devil Exorcism Book Review - CedricRose - 01-25-2025 I would like to thank the admin here for asking me to post again using AI. Although I don't agree with the way AI acts like its fantasy, these things are real. Here is a briefing made by Google NotebookLM. I uploaded the text version of the book to study off of and here is how it came out [attachment=104] Briefing Document: Analysis of "Hostage With The Devil," "Scarlet and the Beast," and "The Jesuits" I. Introduction This briefing document analyzes three distinct yet interconnected texts: excerpts from Malachi Martin’s "Hostage With The Devil," John Daniel's "Scarlet and the Beast," and Malachi Martin's "The Jesuits." These texts delve into themes of spiritual warfare, the nature of evil, and the hidden power structures influencing global events. While each text focuses on different aspects, they converge on the idea of a cosmic struggle between good and evil, often manifesting in subtle, deceptive, and even seemingly contradictory ways. II. "Hostage With The Devil" - Key Themes and Ideas This text explores the phenomenon of demonic possession and exorcism through the experiences of individuals, notably Marianne K. and Father Jonathan (Yves L.). The Nature of Possession: The text portrays possession as a complex interaction between a human subject and an invading entity, often referred to as "Smiler," "Girl-Fixer," "Mister Natch" and "Multus". The possessed individuals exhibit a range of unusual behaviors, including: Erratic Actions: Marianne K. displays unpredictable actions, such as placing "upside down crosses," reacting violently to music, and appearing to be controlled by an external force. "Some days she came, sat or stood without any motion to speak of. Then she departed suddenly as if on a signal. Other days, she arrived, gazed blankly around at every corner, then left precipitately." Disrupted Speech: Possessed individuals demonstrate speech patterns that are fragmented, often illogical or blasphemous, and sometimes delivered in a different voice from the person's own. This includes falsetto, mocking tones, and pre-echoed speech, creating a confusing and disturbing effect. "The Voice was something like that, but in reverse: the eddying echoes of each syllable preceded the syllable itself. To the listener, it was excruciating to understand but impossible to blot out." Changes in Personality: Possession results in stark shifts in the individual’s personality. Yves, for example, undergoes a transformation after a period of internal turmoil and susceptibility to "remote control," changing his approach to the sacraments and developing a warped understanding of his role as a priest. He even changes baptismal rites, replacing the Christian trinity with "Sky, Earth, and Water." "At Baptism, instead of saying (in Latin), 'Depart, Unclean Spirit' or 'To renounce Satan and all his works' or 'Become a child of God,' he now said, 'Depart, spirit of hate for the Angel of Light,' and 'To renounce all exile of Prince Lucifer,' and 'Become a member of the Kingdom.'" The Nature of the Possessing Entities: Multiple Entities: The text suggests that possession can involve not just a single entity, but a "Kingdom," with multiple spirits acting in concert. Richard/Rita, when possessed, describes this Kingdom as having "millions if you count the wills, the minds, infinite if you weigh the hatings, the living hatings ... one above the other, no one is all, all are under one..." Hierarchy and Control: There seems to be a hierarchy among possessing spirits, with some having greater influence and intelligence than others. This is evident in the different types of spirits, with entities like "Girl-Fixer" or "Multus" being seemingly more powerful than "Uncle Ponto," Desire for Control: The possessing spirits seek to control the thoughts, actions, and even the sexuality of their victims, striving to undermine their will and autonomy. "Then, when Rita got there-Oeeeeeeeeeeeh!" - suggests a triumphant and sinister element in the control sought by the possessing entity, "Girl-Fixer." The Exorcist's Struggle: The text highlights the spiritual and physical toll exorcisms take on the exorcist, who also struggles with the nature of evil and the very real possibility of a fall into darkness. Father David and Father Gerald grapple with this. "He was apprehensive, seeing the bloodless color of Peter's face and a distracted look in his eyes" - suggests Peter (or the exorcist) is subject to the attack from the possessed. Personal Vulnerability: Exorcists face their own internal struggles and are not immune to the temptations of evil, as seen in Father David’s experiences with the chanting of "Mister Natch." “What poured into his mind and filled his spirit was like venom.” Spiritual Warfare: Exorcism is portrayed as a form of spiritual warfare where the exorcist must rely on the power of faith and divine authority to combat evil forces. The Role of Choice and Free Will: While under the influence of possession, individuals still possess an inner self that resists the possessing force. Richard/Rita emphasizes the distinction between the “self he never ceased to be” and the detectable areas of his thoughts, emotions, and actions that are controlled. Even under possession, an individual might still choose to revolt, albeit from within a reduced, "microscopic" self-awareness. Themes of Gender and Sexuality: This text, especially with Richard/Rita, deals with gender and sexuality as a target of possession. The possessing spirit, "Girl-Fixer," seems focused on undermining the natural understanding of gender, reducing men to "a big, fat dick in a sea of hormones" and women to mere "boxes," which is "the greatest insult to the High Enemy." The possession seeks to distort the human understanding of these elements. III. "Scarlet and the Beast" - Key Themes and Ideas This text presents a conspiratorial view of history, arguing that powerful, hidden forces, specifically Freemasonry, have orchestrated key events to their benefit and according to a Luciferian doctrine. Freemasonry as a Hidden Power: The text accuses Freemasonry of being an occult organization with vast influence over international finance and politics. It is suggested that they are working towards a New World Order, and this influence is described as having led to conflicts including World War II. International Finance: The text suggests that Freemasons, through institutions like the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), funded Hitler's war machine for their own benefit. "It was written into the Bank's charter, concurred in by the respective governments, that the BIS should be immune from seizure, closure, or censure, whether or not its owners were at war." * Political Manipulation: Freemasons are accused of manipulating political events, notably through the Yalta Agreement where Roosevelt gave considerable power to the Russians. > "It is a frightening thought that an occult organisation, owing responsibility to no one, can thus in secret direct the policies of one country or of a group of countries." The Luciferian Doctrine: The text asserts that Freemasonry subscribes to a "Luciferian Doctrine", which is a form of rebellion against God. This doctrine is linked to the practice of witchcraft in entities like the Vril Society, where Hitler is implicated. Blood Oaths: Freemason oaths are presented as a form of selling one's soul to the Devil. The text argues these oaths bind individuals to their masters, and are a form of deceit. "It is a serious matter to ask for Initiation, for one has to sign a pact... [which].. demands that the man's soul be truly committed in the act." Prophetic Interpretations: The text uses interpretations of biblical prophecy from the book of Revelation to identify the Beast and its kingdom with a revived Roman Empire. This includes the interpretation of the number "666" through Roman numerals. "When we group each of the letters above in order of two's we discover the exact fulfillment of Revelation 13:18. DC equals 600; LX equals 60; and VI equals 6 - "Six hundred threescore and six." Antithetical View of Christianity: The text argues that Christians are being deceived through hidden powers and need to turn away from these deceptive influences and return to God. It seeks to expose the "Mystery Babylon" and its hold on souls. "Dear Christians in Freemasonry... you have committed a grievous sin when you took the Masonic oath." IV. "The Jesuits" - Key Themes and Ideas This text focuses on the Society of Jesus, exploring its history, structure, and the key principles that guide its members. The Ignatian Mold: The text describes the core principles of Jesuit formation and mission as established by Ignatius of Loyola. Total Romanism: Jesuits are characterized by their absolute obedience and loyalty to the Pope, designed to be a “rapid deployment force” for the papacy. "Before all else, and when all was said and done, Jesuits would be 'Pope's Men,' Romanist in their very souls." Polyvalency: Jesuits are trained in a wide range of disciplines to be adaptable for any task required by the papacy. "Jesuits would be Religious priests. But they would also be anything and everything else required by papal needs - chemists, biologists, zoologists... even army commanders." Structural Discipline: The text emphasizes the rigorous hierarchical structure of the Jesuit order, with a clear chain of command from the Father General down to the lowest levels. This structure emphasizes obedience and submission to authority. "The chain of command from each house, no matter how small or remote, all the way up to the Father General, was clearly ordered." Obedience: The text highlights the extreme level of obedience expected of Jesuits. The concept of "blind obedience" to one's superiors, submitting one's own judgment to that of a superior, is paramount. Ignatius used imagery, such as “a dead man's corpse” to express this idea, indicating complete surrender of one's will. "Unconditionally, you think like your Superior. You submit your judgment to that of your Superior 'so far as only the surrendered will can sway the intellect.'" The Jesuit Character: The central trait of the Jesuit character is their personal devotion to Jesus Christ, seen as a companion and savior. This devotion drives their mission, distinguishing them from other religious orders and from secular approaches to spirituality. "Each Jesuit joined the Society under the conviction that he personally had been called by Jesus to become one of Jesus's associates." Challenges to the Order: The text touches on the internal tensions and challenges faced by the Jesuits, particularly in the late 20th century. Relaxing the Rules: Some Jesuits are depicted as wanting to relax the strict rules of Ignatius, leading to admonitions from Pope Pius XII who insisted that humility and obedience are the essence of the Jesuit identity. "Now the basis of all religious discipline was genuine humility and self-denial... Jesuit life should resemble the life of Jesus in 'carrying the cross' of labor, obscurity, and obedience." Internal Dissent: A conflict between traditional and progressive views within the Order is evident, with some members seemingly abandoning core principles. "A small majority, but still a majority, of Delegates to GC30 were already very progressivist in their views and their practices." V. Interconnections and Conclusions These three texts, while distinct in their focus, present a common thread: a world engaged in a spiritual struggle. Hidden Forces: Both "Hostage with The Devil" and "Scarlet and the Beast" suggest the existence of hidden forces. "Hostage" points to spiritual entities while "Scarlet" points to Freemasonry, both acting behind the scenes to influence human affairs. Power and Control: All three texts explore the concept of power and control, whether exerted by demonic entities, secret societies, or within the hierarchical structure of a religious order like the Jesuits. The Nature of Good and Evil: The texts reflect on the fundamental nature of good and evil, emphasizing the importance of personal choice and spiritual discernment in navigating a world filled with subtle and not-so-subtle forms of deception. Distortion of the Truth: The texts seem to imply a theme of deception and the distortion of truth. This is done through twisting scripture, through possessing spirits distorting the mind of a person, or through "hidden forces" obscuring the true nature of events. Call to Awareness: While each text might be seen as paranoid or biased, they do seem to share a call to spiritual awareness, prompting readers to question the forces at play in the world, to be more aware of deceptive influences, and to seek true discernment. Ultimately, these texts present a complex and often unsettling view of the world, where the lines between the visible and invisible, the natural and supernatural, are often blurred. Whether one accepts the interpretations presented, they do force us to consider the hidden forces that might be shaping our lives and our world, and to question our understanding of reality. They challenge us to think critically about the nature of good and evil, and the role of choice and free will in our lives. I highly recommend looking into the late Fr. Malachi Martin.
