“The act of exorcism implies a “driving out” of the demon, but it’s really more like placing a demon under oath. In some cases, it may be more than one demon inhabiting a person. The word “exorcism” comes from the Greek ek and the verb horkizo, which means “I cause [someone] to swear” and refers to “putting the spirit or demon to oath.” It’s more easily explained as invoking a higher authority to bind the entity so it can be caused to act contrary to its own will.”

“Then I took another sack and started going through all of the papers on my desk, and in the drawers of the desk. I was fairly ruthless and threw out things I'd been keeping for no good reason, stuff that if I died my unfortunate executor would have no hesitation in throwing out either, because what was he going to do with it... what was he going to do with old love letters, pay slips, gas and electric bills, yellowed typescripts of abandoned articles, instruction manuals for consumer durables I no longer possessed, holiday brochures the holidays of which I hadn't gone on... Jesus, it occurred to me -- as I stuffed all of this garbage into a bag -- the shit we leave behind us for other people to sort out.”
― Alan Glynn, The Dark Fields

“Two thoughts swam relentlessly through my head. Firstly, after cen turies of unsuccessful endeavor by minds far more enlightened than my own, how could I have been so arrogant to suppose that, with the guides’ help, I was actually unraveling the mysteries of life and death? And secondly, if the guides were not guides after all, who were they?”
