The Demon of Divination as Gate-keeper to all other occult and unclean spirits

Often when a person asks to be liberated from the demon of divination, the assault has already advanced to a level of either oppression or possession. This is now an advanced stage, and the psychic abilities are well developed and the control of the spirit of divination over this ability is often total and very well pronounced. It has arrived to such a degree because the person has taken advantage of the power being given by the spirit of divination and has enjoyed or benefited from its use for quite some time.

Once the person becomes aware or have been enlightened that the source of the power is evil and desires to be rid of it and the demon, then retaliation sets in. This is manifested by psychic and physical attacks on the afflicted for any intention or act to pray to God and ask for divine help. The difficulty is also exacerbated because the demon now uses other people, usually also those with open occult third eye, to dissuade the afflicted from seeking the help of the Church and her ministers especially exorcists. They would instead, recommend that the afflicted use amulets or talismans for protection, or do some occult ritual, or to consult a local occult healer (shaman or albularyo). This of course would even more fortify the demonic stronghold on the person by inviting other demons, thereby, making spiritual liberation difficult.

The idolatrous practice often invites other demons. They latch on the person both on the level of the soul (for those in a habitually sinful life) and that of the level of emotions and its passions (connected with pride, vainglory, sloth, avarice, lust, anger, resentment, and unforgiveness, etc.) Therefore, in effect we are no longer dealing here with just the spirit of divination but already many spirits. It is for this reason that a series of exorcism prayers will be necessary.

Hence, from the experience of many exorcists regarding the expulsion of the demon of divination and the closing of the occult third eye, proceeding immediately to the rite of closing of the third eye would cause great reactions on the part of the afflicted. Therefore, the use of minor and major exorcisms prior to the expulsion of the demon of divination is done to remove the stronghold. The objective is to weaken the demon of divination by expelling other unclean spirits protecting it. Once this has been successfully done, the expulsion of the spirit of divination and the closing of the third eye would proceed with very little reaction on the part of the afflicted.
