The Mind and Soul: An Intricate Relationship

According to science the human mind controls the body and all processes are simply the result of chemical interactions and electrical signals. Here is a link to the Wikipedia: Brain article for reference. While this is true of the physical aspect of the human body, the reason science cannot unravel the true mystery of the human mind is simple; they disregard the human soul.
Think of our bodies as a robotic structure. Here I'll examine and explain the process.

The brain is like the central computer system, housing RAM, CPU and Hard Drive. All the memories we store are there, as well as the ability to process information and cause the desired reaction in the body. When we receive stimulus, the brain reacts, processes the information and responds accordingly.

The rest of the nervous system is like wiring that links together all of our "peripherals", eyes, tongue, hands etc. It also receives pain input and sensation of cold, pleasure, heat and pressure.

The eyes are like cameras, transmitting visual input to the brain. The tongue is the taste sensor, etc. Most people should be familiar with the five senses as taught in most education systems.

All of this together is a great and marvelous creation. Everything works together in great complexity, just like the computer sitting in front of you. Also like the computer, the human body needs more than just hardware to function. It has to have software. Without software on a computer, it's just a pile of electrical circuits that do nothing. Just like the computer, remove the soul from the body (the software) and all you have is a pile of matter.

The soul is essential for the body to function. Like earlier stated it's much like software on a computer. If you copy the software from a computer to a disc or flash drive, the software still exists outside of it's origin. It can then be transferred to another computer. Unlike software on a computer however, the human soul is unique. Our software will only ever be moved into a second body one time, in the resurrection, and it may be operated outside the body.

Revelation 20:4-5

4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

The wicked also will be resurrected, then sent to hell.

Revelation 20:13

13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Think of this like the unique operating system of each human body being copied and pasted into a new body. This time the body is indestructible. I cannot fathom how it will work, so I'll stick to the body we currently have, one of flesh and blood.

With a basic understanding of how the human body requires the soul to operate, it should also be understood that the mind can be influenced by outside sources. This is usually referred to as possession or oppression. Just as a virus infects a computer and alters its desired operation, a demon or fallen angel can easily alter the function of the human body. Also like the computer, it could completely cause the system to crash, disabling the body until the virus is removed.

Demons are disembodied spirits from before the great flood. They were likely the Nephilim. These beings are neither in hell or heaven, but instead bound to some sort of limbo here on Earth where they roam around seeking a body to inhabit, or simply playing mischief on unsuspecting men or women. Often times these are the beings which possess a person and cannot be seen or heard outside the body.

The second type of "virus" would be a fallen angel. These are the most powerful created beings in existence, aside from angels themselves, and can completely change a persons perception. These beings upon sight cause an involuntary feeling of fear and dread upon a person, usually causing the person to quiver and be unable to move. I believe these are also the real cause for so called "alien abductions".

In a simple possession, a demon has taken control of the body, controlling it's actions for itself. The usual desire for the demon is to cause deception and chaos around it. A Christian can cast these out in the name of Jesus.

In a complex case of possession, a fallen angel will take control of the human mind, and these are usually only cast out by prayer and fasting.

Matthew 17:14-21

14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

15Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

17Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

18And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

19Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

21Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

If we encounter a being of this magnitude the person will very likely experience illusions that are so real they believe them to be real. They will see things that aren't there, feel things, sometimes even be wounded by invisible forces.

There are a lot of people believing they are "remote viewing" or having the gift of "clairvoyance". I am sorry to say these people are sorely deceived into believing they have powers that humans do not possess. It is almost positively certain that a fallen angel is inputting imagery into the mind of the person, causing them to see what the fallen angel wishes them to see. These visions are usually so detailed the person seeing them cannot be convinced it isn't real. Along with these things, they can manipulate smell, touch, taste, anything you can imagine, thus alien abductions. All of these things are false "memories" implanted into the human mind so perfectly, the person believes it to be real.

In a nutshell, this is what's going on when people see visions, have experiences, and become deceived by new age lies. Unfortunately even with this in depth evaluation most people will refuse to be swayed to come to repentance and accept Jesus Christ as savior and Lord. If you do have experiences with any of this and are deceived, please come to repentance and accept Christ before it's too late. After our software leaves this body, there will be no second chance. Remember, being saved isn't about living a certain way, it's simply believing in your heart that Jesus Christ is the son of God, came to Earth and died for our sins, Rose again and went to Heaven and is our pardon for all the sins we commit on this world. You have to believe he is coming back one day for his saints, who are sinners but simply accepted him as the only way. If you pray to Jesus to forgive you and believe he is coming for you one day, even if you die, then you are saved.
