Great article. Objective truths in the Materium usually have counterparts in the subjective/ metaphysical realm. Internal, or physic parasites if you will. I have been reading Robert Falconerās āThe Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possessionā. Stripped of normal religious and cultural veneer, Falconerās book has been an interesting read so far. Although, I still donāt like the idea of parasites of anykindā¦
Thanks for the tip on the book and author.
Will be looking more into it.
Iām also reading, āRise of the Zombie Bugs: The Surprising Science of
Parasitic Mind-Controlā by Mindy Weisberger, 2025
Talk about not liking any parasite!
These are in a league of their own!
Thanks. I will check it out. I like to spend what little extra $$$$ on food, music and books for my library. Then, I enjoy some food while listening to music sitting in my humble library area!
