If you could only see clairvoyantly you would realize that almost all people including those of a religious inclination have Out of body beings around them. Sometimes even more so.

So you not realize when you look outside of yourself (higher self, christ within)for your answers you are opening yourself up to what some would call possession. I would hesitate to call it that as most are just subtly influenced by the entities around them and are not completely taken over at times. But influenced all the same. sk
