Esoterics

Darkwater Media Group maintains this library of dossiers, the results of fieldwork and inquiries into a number of esoteric topics. These are reproductions of physical files maintained at the Darkwater Division of Metaphysics Research and Applications (DMRA). They are arranged immediately below by subject and then by descending chronological order. The newest dossiers will appear topmost under their respective subject headings.

Insofar as these dossiers relate personal experiences, the events reported are presented as true; however, no guarantee is made as to their veracity. To the extent the facts appear to take on a supernatural nature, the reader is advised that supreme authority to discern facts of this kind rests with the Catholic Church.

Caution: Investigation into occult topics is dangerous. Inherent to this work are risks to one's physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. The materials presented here are not intended to glamorize, sensationalize, or encourage participation in, or investigation into, occult practices. Their aim is to edify the reader that such threats exist, to demonstrate how they can be harmful, and to caution the reader against the forces of darkness. With that said, deliverance from occult forces should not be undertaken by laypeople working solely on their own accord. Such work is better left to professionals—specifically, priests ordained in the Catholic Church.

• Abstract: A young man suffers an automobile accident which leads to a near-death out-of-body experience. He is violently transported to a place where he is accosted by frightening shadows. A stranger leads him to a mountain peak where a review of his life is conducted. The stranger then departs. Thereafter, the man experiences a vista of what he understands to be hell. This dossier investigates the near-death out-of-body experiences; likens them to genuine spiritual ecstasy experienced by Catholic saints and mystics; and contrasts them from drug-induced hallucinations and altered states of consciousness derived by natural means.

• Abstract: Anyone who knows Dr. Seuss's classic story knows that the Grinch gave back everything he took, and so the net Christmases stolen amount to zero. Or do they? With sleight of hand befitting of a sidewalk Monte dealer, the film really does steal Christmas—not from Whoville, but from the unwitting audience. By conflating Christmas with "Whoville Christmas," the film promotes a nondenominational gathering of friends and family utterly devoid of Christ, without whom Christmas is meaningless.
