The ABCs of SRA and DID


Multiple personalities: Fact

or Fraud?

The ABCs of SRA and DID

By NiteOwlDave

WARNING: If you have been involved in Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA), do not read this article. It is very triggery. - Dave




While most of Satanic Ritual Abuse occurs well below the radar and is not known or understood by most people, it is widespread. SRA likely involves millions - those loyal to Satan and its victims. The lurid details and hurts are tightly held secrets that haunt its survivors.





The idea that a person can have alternate personalities, which can be created through horrific trauma and torture such as sexual abuse by Satan worshippers, can understandably be seen as utterly fanatical by anyone with a working brain.

It’s hangover fiction from Hollywood's Three Faces of Eve, Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist. Isn't it?

Satan isn't real. The cartoonists and marketers of Halloween created him. He's Casper. He's friendly and funny, right?

Those who write books about alleged Ouija Board power are quick-buck artists or drama queens with twisted minds. Yes?

Let me state here boldly:
1. Satanic cults/covens/grottoes are very real. They are highly secretive, operate well out of sight, and involve typical people from a bank manager to a postman. These Satan-worshipping adults sexually abuse and traumatize girls and boys from infancy. Newborn babies are sacrificed to Satan in an orderly bloodbath ritual too gross to describe here.

2. Satan is as real as God. He is the father of everything evil who was tossed out of Heaven with one third of the angel force who rebelled against God Almighty. The demons are Satan's foot soldiers. Their short term of evil power ends when God disposes of Satan and his minions into the eternal Lake of Fire along with all Christ-rejecting humans. According to the Bible and what we see happening today, that event is on the near horizon.

3. Yes, a Ouija Board provides an opening for demons to attach themselves to us with the possibility of giving us mental torture, which could lead to things more dangerous. Occult books, palmist play, séances, cursed charms and crystals are also part of satanic linkage. Demons attach themselves to such things because of their occult use.

AVOID all of it!
Satan is one VERY powerful, VERY dangerous evil power. He is no lightweight cartoon dressed in red.

1 Peter 5:8 points out, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."

There is proof aplenty of the reality of his devilish lure and power. They are often not mainstream.

The Bible sums up clearly the reality of the subtle power of Satan.

Ephesians 6:12 states,” For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
11 Cor. 11:14 states, "And marvel not; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

Satan is alluring. Christians do not have to fear him – just be ever alert - because we have authority over him and access to the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Severe sexual abuse causes Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) as it more commonly called today, which is the sad result of severe childhood trauma where personalities will form in a defensive measure that usually takes a skilled counselor years to help sort out. The brain creates these "Alters/Insiders/Others" to protect the core person from melting down and not being able to recover.

Few who are DID will admit it to friend or a stranger. Many outsiders remain puzzled because of personality changes or switches they may have observed in those who deal with it. DIDers know they are different at times and feel embarrassed. They feel ashamed about their horrific past. Can we blame them? No.

DID is not always sourced to Satan. It can be launched by other extreme trauma in a child under the age of six. However, in SRA it generally is reinforced by repeated childhood rape.

SRA is all about Satanism. Children are generally forced into Satanic Ritual Abuse by parents who worship Satan and belong to Covens where they gather to perform rituals.

It is difficult to comprehend how a parent can watch their children regularly be raped by many Coven members, see them forced to vow their soul to Satan which is "sealed" by drinking blood. Many SRA parents also sexually abuse and rape their own children and allow them to be forced to become baby killers when they are still toddlers?

It is further beyond comprehension how a parent can watch their newborn grandchild ripped from their daughter's arms, and with their destroyed daughter watching, chant to Satan as the child's throat is slit and the body drained of blood. The warm blood is then served up and drunk as a cocktail salute to the prince of darkness and the body cannibalized by the group, including the forced numb or drugged mother.

If the baby’s mother weathers this crushing outrage, she may not be destroyed. But witnessing this may force her to become a dedicated Satanist. She learns that she has to be powerful so she won't be controlled, and the way to be powerful is to participate in ceremonies and receive demons for power.

The remains of a slaughtered baby are often buried in full view of all coven members and its trapped kids. To cover their trail, the Satanists sometimes dig up the remains later and rebury it somewhere else. This undermines any later report by a woman who many lead authorities to where she could claim a taken child is buried. Usually the remains of a sacrificed baby are burned.

Blowing the horn to authorities is rare. Covens instill strict and frightening rules about revealing any details about coven activities and locations to outsiders. Fear is a powerful weapon.

WHY DID?

Here's why DID kicks in.

When a child experiences devastating trauma or horrific abuse, her/his mind may not be capable of coping with the pain and torture.

Subsequently, part of their mind separates from the rest of their mind to hold the pain and hurtful memories. This separation or division of personalities allows a person to go on with life, although with needs for mental coordination. Ultimate cure is called reintegration where separated personalities become one.

Counselor Shirley Brounley suggests that God gives the gift of dissociation to ALL children if they need it.

A long-serving counselor in the field of SRA, demon removal, and who helps DID survivors reintegrate their personalities through the power of the shed blood of Christ, Brounley, who heads the independent Haven of Hope Ministries, says,

“Dissociation saves a small child from committing suicide or winding up in a mental hospital. If children commit suicide or go berserk, it is likely because generational demons and curses, etc., were put on them.”

Sadly, most who do survivor the mind and soul tortures of SRA and dissociation of personalities never do heal to become one again.

Not all who deal with alters act the same, but there is much commonality.

The reaction is alarming, but a relief, when a counselor is able to fill in the many whys and wherefores to someone with DID/MPD who, to that point, had believed what acquaintances had tossed in her face her whole life; that she is crazy in the head. A DIDer is not crazy.

They are different, for sure. But it is NOT their fault.

DID TRAITS

While each DID system is distinct, here, in no particular order, is a list of what I have found is generally true of survivors of Satanic Ritual Abuse.

1. They say "Sorry" often because their satanic rulers demanded it. Reflex memories burn deep.
2. They hate or will not wear a dress because they had to wear them all the time at the coven or at their abusive home for, uhhh, quick access.
3. They hate mirrors and photos of themselves. They don't like whom they see, even years after escaping or being set free from their abuser(s).
4. They don't like makeup, although they have an insider or two who do.
5. They have one insider who likes sex. Others hate it. The one who likes it is the alter who took on that duty at the coven and that urge,
for some reason, remains.
6. When they sit, they often squirm in their seat or swing their left foot.
7. If their hair is long enough, they chew it or play with it.
8. They chew on poke holes in their cuffs.
9. Each SRA system has a protector who will fly out to defend orally or physically anyone who threatens the system.
10. Similar to brainwashing, trigger words are installed by the Satanists. Certain spoken words like Jesus Christ or certain sexual words affect or trigger different insiders. Triggering means personality switching.
11. They have been warned and believe that if they go into a Christian church something bad will happen – like the building will burn down or the roof will cave in.
12. They have been warned NEVER to talk about Coven activities. They are told if they do, someone dear to them will die or they will be punished even more.
13. They are told they are so bad even Jesus Christ – “if He were real and cared” - would never forgive them.
14. They have been told Jesus Christ is a fake or that He is evil.
15. They never feel clean.
16. They can eat a banana only if it is cut up.
17. At least one insider deals with Manic Compulsive Disorder which means they are obsessed with showering, hand washing, or such things as flipping a light off and on a certain number of times when they enter or leave a room.
18. They self-injure (SI). They cut, scratch or burn themselves. They feel they want to let out the “evil” inside them. It helps them to feel alive, in control, and is a way of gaining focus from zoning. It grounds them to keep them in the present. Sometimes, SI is prompted by a high cult’s obsession with blood.
19. They HATE to be hugged except perhaps by someone whom they consider is trusted and safe.
20. They have a problem accepting compliments or gifts because they feel they will owe that person sexual payment.
21.They hate the word "love." It is not a safe word. They feel if someone tells them they love them, they want sex.
22. They hate any kind of touch.
23. When they are scared, they hide under a table or sit in a corner, rock and often hum.
24. No matter what the age, they find comfort in their "blankie" and "stuffy" (stuffy animal).
25. They often sleep in a closet or under a bed. One that I met sometimes sleeps in a bathtub. They try to find "safe" places.
26. They sleep very little and often when they do are still totally exhausted.
27. They are always tired because when they do drift off to sleep, they have vivid nightmares.
28. Their "body" also gets little rest because when asleep, the "littles" - personalities formed when they were abused as a youngster - often come out to color or play.
29. They often have horrible memory recalls when awake. Thus, “I’m having a bad day.”
30. Acquaintances tell them that they talk to themselves. They do talk out loud amongst themselves.
31. They drink booze or use drugs at times because their abusers gave them to them so they wouldn't fight back as much during rape. The booze and drugs now help - for a while - to lift them away from the hurting memories.
32. When they trigger or switch, the personality who was out joins the other insiders in a relatively-safe inside place like a building, a cave, a woods, etc.
33. One or more insider may stutter.
34. They might have one or more Christian insider. A non-Christian insider might refer to these ones as “white lighters”.
35. Hair touching is often off limits.
36. They shower and don't bath. Bathtubs can make them feel trapped.
37. They hate the color red. It reminds them of blood from Coven abuse. They cannot stomach ketchup, tomato soup or reddish meat.
38. They pinch themselves.
39. One or more may know sign language.
40. Evil, hurtful shadows - some, likely Demons - often lurk inside.

DEMONS

It appears to me that we are most vulnerable to demon oppression and possession when we are weak physically, spiritually or traumatized by severe fear.

It seems the enemy of our soul lurks for any opening to claim ground. Of course, there is much demon play around those who been exposed to Satanic stuff, willingly or forced. If we associate with garbage, we attract flies. Satan is lord of the flies.

A troubling question arises here: Can a "saved" Christian who has placed his total faith in the completed sacrifice of the risen Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation be inhabited by a demon.

The prevailing thought is that the sent Holy Spirit of God will not share quarters with a demon, and that a demon must flee a person the moment a person repents of his sin and invites Jesus Christ into his heart as his new Lord and Savior. The blood of Jesus is preached as a protective divide between the Holy Spirit and the hordes of Hell.

That notion must be questioned in light of what happens when a single personality – the host or an alter - in a Multiple Personality Disorder system gets saved while other personalities refuse to accept Jesus as Lord. That is common.

Shirley Brounley points out that no where in Scripture does it state that demons can or cannot indwell or harass a born-again Christian.


I asked her: “Do you believe that the Holy Spirit and demons can indwell a Christian at the same time?”
Her response: “I only work with Christians who have Demons and/or Alternate personalities.”

“Once, a Demon said to me through a client that demons can affect the body and the soul, but cannot do anything with the spirit because that’s where Jesus is.”

When dealing with suspected demons, it is wise - before you dialogue - to ask God to protect you by the power of the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ

Some Demons linked to a survivor of SRA will speak clearly if ordered to in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. They mock, they curse, they challenge.

Alters report that Demons shout from inside to a host or alter who may be listening to the good news of salvation and deliverance through Jesus of Nazareth with, "That's a lie! Leave!"

On Jan. 4, 2007, I chatted toe-to-toe with a demon that goes by the name Mastema (you may want to Google the name.) He told me he inhabits an SRA girl, age 27, in Australia and hangs around Christian Internet chat rooms on Paltalk to cause problems.

He scoffs and challenges remarks made by Christians and non-Christians in Net chat rooms. He knows the Bible well. He is often bounced from chat rooms for his distracting text.

He boasted to me that he prompted the girl's father to rape her at age six, that she had a half dozen personalities, was institutionalized until a few months previous, and as of that date, had her own place and a boyfriend.

Before I blocked this bothersome bozo, he did offer some interesting insight in a one-on-one chat. I am aware that the Bible points out that demons lie their faces off. Nevertheless, I found these comments of interest - and disgust. I spoke, he typed.

Mastema_01 said:

"We (many Demons) came in the fall. We were in the beginning."
2. "I AM not an alter, I am the One in control."
3. "I am protected, You will not cause Me to react, I AM strong and Many."
4. "I went to a church last w'end, was soo easy to slip in, they were a hopeless bunch of losers. Would you believe, it took Me 15mins to gain the trust of the pastor and the sunday school teacher LOL.. hillarious. They always trust a woman. Hey, ****** (the girl he inhabits) comes in handy sumtimes, even if I dont need her mind just her body to do the work. You only need to put a little doubt in children to deter them from the xian belief.. or change things just slightly, ie, jezuz had an older brother Lucifer who was the most powerful, who was the word in the beginning, who ruled all of heaven in praise and music, whom God loved."
5. "You know, We've taken over many things in her life now, people can't tell the difference now."
6. "Using multiples (personalities) allows US to remain without detection."
7. "Now go away, you can do no help to this worthless child.
Ave."

I suppose like his powerful but dim-bulb leader, Satan, Mastema is filled with pride. I goaded much information from him about what Heaven is like, the crucifixion and much more. He’s likely furious his text is being shared now to hopefully enlighten. Looks good on ya, Hell boy!

I’m advised it is not wise to chat with a demon. Jesus quoted Scripture to Satan only when He was tempted in the wilderness prior to launching His public ministry.

We can presume a demon will start out telling us truth. Mastema confirmed a number of things not listed above but supported in the Bible. Once we are hooked to a source like him, we can presume he will introduce error.

SATANISTS

Satanic Covens are naturally located off the beaten path. A remote farm is perfect. Rabbits and cats used for sacrificial blood are easily raised and disposed of there.
There are six Satanic levels or cult types:
1. Criminal Deviants
2. Orthodox
3. Narcosatanistros
4. Dabblers
5. NonCriminal
6. Luciferians. This group is said to be the worst. It is reported this level of evilists is empowered to install death triggers in its victims.

VOWS, CURSES AND PROGRAMMING

These are subjects I'm not too familiar with. I am told that SRA Satan worshippers do place curses on children that can be removed only through the help of a diligent counselor and prayerful power citing the delivering and saving blood power of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

C. All Friday the 13th's are high satanic days.

D. All full-moon nights provide reason for major occult activity (easiest to move around without difficulty and without being detected).

E. Holy week (Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday). Some groups are thought to sacrifice, cook and eat a human baby on Easter Sunday.




THE CORE

The name on the birth certificate of someone with Disssociate Identity Disorder is known as the core or main person in a DID system. However, some systems present themselves as a multi-alter core built around the one host body. This ain't always easy to figure out.

ALTERS

Alters remind me of an ice cube tray: One but many. One tray. Same water. Many divides. There is limited commonality in the personalities, but each one has distinct deep roots connected to a distinct memory.

An alter/insider/other is created from a single, horrifying traumatic hurt. If triggered by a spoken word, a scene on TV or a scary exchange between arguing people, the survivor relives that painful incident from which it was created.

We must be careful not to use a trigger word and prompt a survivor to revisit a memory, or mem as they are sometimes called.

It’s confusing to me why the word alter is part of the lexicon of those who try to help those who deal with DID. The word alter can be a trigger word because it reminds survivors what happened on the ceremonial altars at Satanic Covens. Let’s not speak that word.

Insiders/alters/others are often male and female. Perhaps both sexes are created because children are sexually mauled over by men, women and older kids of both sexes. When an alter speaks, the voice can be distinctively male or female.

Warning: Treating alters as demons will cause spiritual abuse, and drive the alters deeper into bondage and farther away from opening up to where they can receive true healing from the Holy Spirit of God.

TRIGGER WORDS

It is a given that all Jesus-type words and every sexual word out there can be a trigger.

Other common trigger words are hit, beat, slap, chains, handcuffs, blood. Shouting can trigger. Crowds of people can trigger. Smells like beer and aftershave can trigger. Certain colors – chiefly red because it reminds a survivor of blood - can trigger. Movie scenes can trigger.

I spoke with one abuse survivor who triggered to the sound of jangling keys. Her father who abused her would rattle his keys when he arrived home from work. As a youngster, the girl would freak when he arrived home. Is it any wonder wounded SRA survivors are often loners?

The high cult Satanists - the Lucifereans - program and install triggers. This, says counselor Brounley, is completely different from other triggers. Their programmed triggers are for bringing up a certain alter who does a certain job on command - like an assassination, she says.

Satanists are able to grab control of a person’s mind because they teach that Jesus Christ is to be feared and hated, and is not to be trusted. “Hearing the words ‘the blood of Christ’ triggers the person's demons,” Brounley says. “It is the demons who react. We must be careful how we talk about triggers.”

SWITCHING

Switching means DID personality changing. It occurs when a DIDer chooses to switch with another alter or is triggered by something scary. Switching sometimes causes headaches. Some do switch often and without headaches, however.

INSIDE SAFETY

When a personality is triggered or chooses on his/her own to get away from stress, they go to an inside place of safety where they sit and rock. (They sometimes stay out and sit and rock, too.)

These inside mental places can be wildly imaginative; a ravine area, a building, a cave, a woods, a garden, an attic.

While inside, another personality takes over outside duty as the new face. This sometimes causes complications as not all personalities have the same outside abilities.

MPD systems are amazing adept however, so if there were a switch while driving, another personality with driving skills would appear.

LITTLES

Since Multiple Personality Disorder is launched before age six, there are always young personalities involved. The group usually calls them the littles. The protector is especially watchful over them around strangers.

Littles are often a handful of fun, and problems. A mature alter may be busy dealing with people at work when a youngster may pop out and cause embarrassment.

One woman told me with a chuckle she had to hurriedly leave a church service - which was an extremely-tough function to attend because of SRA fear teachings about church attendance - after a little spilled out and sang loudly in the voice of a seven-year-old, "JESUS LOVES ME…"

The young alter had lost all fear of the true Jesus when a kindly grandmother spent quality time with several of the "kids" and sang Jesus choruses to them while stroking their head.

Like normal youngsters, the little personalities in an MPD system like to be read to, play with toys, stomp in mud puddles, and paint on walls. Picture a 40-year-old woman doing that and you see what DIDers have to deal with.

Sometimes when a DID friend comes online, I'll get a typed message, "Wantta a chippie, Mr. Dave?" That's a warm fuzzy.

DO THEIR KIDS KNOW?

I haven't met a woman yet who has told her/their kids that they deal with other personalities.

What is commonly explained is, "I want to raise my children to think of me as being normal. When they sometimes see me running a toy car across the kitchen floor, painting like a child, excitedly watching a cartoon, they brush it off with a, 'That's our mom!"

SHADOWS

DIDers speak of shadows they see in their “safe” insider area.
Many well-meaning Christians insist all shadows are demons. The shadows very well may be harassing sources of evil but we must also consider the shadows are vivid harassing memories.

NIGHTMARES

While DIDers generally learn to deal with major flashbacks when they are awake, trying to grab a quiet night’s sleep is a horror show.

DID survivors hate to sleep because at least one personality will
be invaded by nightmares of past, real-life torture. With many, it’s always the same horrific dream. This often prompts a survivor to scratch herself deeply or hurt their hands by pounding on a nearby table in an effort to defend them or to get away.

Switching while asleep where a little takes control of the body and plays with toys, colors or even goes on the Internet can also interrupt survivor sleep.

SELF-INJURY


Self-injury or SI is very common among abuse survivors.

SI means one cuts themselves with a sharp object or finger nail, burns themselves with a cigarette, places an arm on a hot stove, reopens a wound by picking at it, or punches a wall, etc. “It gives me relief, it makes me feel,” one DIDer explained.

Internet Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia explains SI this way:
“A common form of self-injury involves making cuts in the skin of the arms, legs, abdomen, inner thighs, etc. However, the number of self-injury methods are only limited by an individual's creativity and include, but are not limited to, compulsive skin picking (dermatillomania), hair pulling (trichotillomania), burning, stabbing, poisoning, alcohol abuse and forms of self harm related to anorexia and bulimia. The locations of self-injury are often areas of the body that are easily hidden and concealed from the detection of others.”

Christians uneducated in the subject might charge that such activity is surely evidence of Demon possession. SI could be prompted by indwelt Demons, yes. But let me suggest the majority of self-abuse is to claim focus or to let out the dirty inside feelings.

IS THERE FREEDOM?

One of the chief goals of a Satan-worshipping coven is to make a survivor feel so worthless and bad that a real, caring Jesus of the Bible would never forgive them.

The Satanists do this to maintain control. They also do it because deep down they fear the Lord Jesus Christ, although they will never admit it.

Here are some tips when sharing with an SRA survivor the truth of salvation and deliverance through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ:

1. Speak softly and don't preach.
2. Ask them if they have problems hearing certain words that will trigger them, making them switch which means the angry protector will emerge. There are always trigger words.
3. Use initials like “JC” for Jesus Christ, “B” for blood, “L and S” for Lord and Savior, “M” for Master, etc. Many sexual or hitting words, or words like “babe” or “cutie”, will usually prompt a person to switch personalities.
4. Explain there are two JCs. One is the lying, hurting "JC" the Satanists refer to. The other “JC” is the Jesus of the Bible who is "nice" and does not hurt. The “love” and ‘trust” words don't compute with someone who has been battered and abused. Don’t use them. It will take years – if at all – before a survivor is able to lower his/her defense fence and embrace a helper as a trusted friend.
5. Find a Christian counselor who realizes SRA issues are spiritual issues which cannot be resolved solely with medication and chat. A patient, knowledge friend may also be able to help alternate personalities reintegrate.

Counselor Brounley responds here to two significant questions.

1. Why do you think people get involved in SRA and worship Satan?“There are three types of people who get involved in SRA and worship Satan.
“In these times, many are exposed to Satanism through movies, TV shows and websites. They become ‘dabblers’ who try out things they read or see. If they become intrigued by the occult spiritual world, demons are ready to take them to the next level.
“Some are recruited by friends or acquaintances who recognize their vulnerability. They are drawn in to ‘low cult Satanism’ because they are looking for acceptance and approval or power and control.
“The Satanists have finely tuned their recruiting techniques. People are exposed to the teachings and practices a little at a time. By the time they are participating in ritual slayings, it is too late to back out. Even if they want to quit, they can't because they know too much about the cult and may tell someone.
“Some are born to Satanist parents who worship Satan but are not high cult Satanists. They are raised knowing only Satanism as the normal way of life. They will be taken to ceremonies and forced to participate, but not necessarily by their parents.
“In this group you will NOT find personalities that have the kind of programming that is intentionally placed on the high cult Satanists. These are the people who are used by the high cult. Many of these groups are also covers that hide the high cult. The public may know something about these people, but never dream the high cult exists.

HIGH CULT SATANISTS

"High cult Satanists" are extremely secretive and are born into the high cult. They are born with demons, which carry curses, ungodly vows and programming inherited from their ancestors.
“Their parents have programmed personalities and torture their children so they will have personalities to be programmed. They believe, and teach their children, that love is bad and hate is good. They alternately show caring and torture to their children so they will never be able to trust anyone.
“Their job is to prepare the child for the "handler" who is going to take over and give the complex programming the cult desires. All are abused sexually, emotionally and physically. They never learn what love is. Any talk of "love" is accompanied by torture. Hating makes them feel strong. Their internal personality systems are complex and hidden.
“They appear as ‘normal’ people who are active in churches and have important jobs in government and professions. Most have Christian covers. Their jobs all go together to prepare the way for the antichrist.
“Picture small children who cannot protect themselves. Their parents don't protect them and neither do their siblings. Each one is on his own, without any rescuer.
“It is no wonder that they vow to become powerful - which they do by using demons. Demons give them power when they give what the demons want - sacrifices of blood and sexual innocence. The Satanist's vow is to ‘Do it to others so it won't be done to you.’
“One of the first things a small child is forced to do in a ceremony is to kill a baby. The priest holds the child's hand so it will be accomplished. Then the child has guilt that is used for blackmail to get the child to do other things. After a while, demons make the child feel as though he or she enjoys killing. Actually, some do, but I am convinced it is because they are so demonized.

2. With so many alters and a host body, when do we know a DIDer is truly saved?
“I don't know when a multiple is truly saved.
“I believe that God is true to His word and saves anyone who trusts the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior. I believe that includes personalities.
“It is my observation that when personalities start to be saved, it is likely that others will also be saved, including the core person. However, I have no proof. That is just my experience.”
