Geraldo Rivera back in the day did a major TV special about "Satanism in America" that showed the evil pull that devil worship has on the young of the world.
When there is no foundation in the church the young are easily tempted with the power of the occult.
Police report worldwide finding cats and dogs slaughtered in grave yards in ceremonies to the devil along with candles and incense burning.
Divorce With the increase in divorce and dysfunctional families the young are left to their own devices.
Many turn to alcohol, drug abuse, sexual abuse that weakens the mind in ways that let in other controlling entities.
Ariel Castro is a perfect example of this; spending a decade raping and torturing three young girls in the basement of his house.
After he was caught and convicted to a life sentence he committed suicide by hanging himself in his Prison cell.
His sexual perversion turned him into a deviate that was out of control.
So who had control? Obsessed Many children with no direction in life turn to dabbling with the occult to eventually having a full blown obsession with it expecting to receive power and control of others from it.
They practice occult rituals, play fantasy role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, call on spirits with the Ouija board, inevitably taking on the characteristics of influence from the occult.
The wearing of black clothing, white makeup, Satanic jewelry, the buying of occult books, watching occult movies ( Harry Potter-The Omen-The Exorcist-Rosemary's Baby) all come into play when the obsession begins.
They openly drift into the occult seeking to take charge in a world they feel alienated from.
Outward Signs of Influence There are many heavy metal groups that promote Satanic lyrics promoting the evil side of life.
Groups like AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Slayer, Anthrax, Danzig, Metallica, Celtic, Satan, Sodom, Suicidal Tendencies, and Possessed cater to this lost crowd of youth by writing Satanic lyrics to increase their popularity and sucker the young into buying into this decadent music and wanderlust lifestyle.
What is the Occult? The term occult comes from the Latin word occultus, which refers to hidden or secret knowledge.
It refers specifically to the incursion of the 4th dimension, a spirit realm, into our three-dimensional world.
In prior times the occult referred to knowledge that only was available thorough secret initiation ceremonies and was only there for a select few.
Involvement into these secret societies gives members the feeling of being elite and elusive, far above the mundane humdrum world of repeated routine.
They feel they are on the cutting edge of a new step in human evolution far above mere humans.
This secretive inclusion into something forbidden brings them new and different dangers.
The Spawn Thus we get the "Son of Sam" types, the Charlie Manson groups that are only the tip of a much larger occultic iceberg.
The smart ones are still out there, spawning their evil, and for them it is still open season.
Conclusion It is a sad fact but very true that the pursuit of power leads to megalomania the obsession for more power.
Sooner or later the occultist must integrate to his dark side and come to terms with what he has created.
A criminal or sociopathic behavior is the frequent result of this deadly alliance, where fantasy meets reality.
Crossing over then becomes deadly to society and a threat to mankind's existence.
Hitler and his minions were involved in the occult that led to the biggest population extermination in human history.
Do we need to go down that road again?
