The Body Snatchers
Because possession has become the norm rather than the exception, the term "possessed" has little or no true meaning, anymore.
The tell-tale traditional signs include aggression, swearing/cursing, compulsive behavior, wanting to put on clothes of the opposite gender, self-mutilation, dis-jointed thoughts, wanting to be the center of attention, Narcissism etc.
An even deeper level of possession involves just behaving "normally" - like a robot in a trance.
Since "possession" has become somewhat institutionalized and culture driven, it's now all around us!
Those who are NOT possessed will be routed out by the Zombie Collective and be literally ripped to shreds in some demonic frenzy - either literally or figuratively. Preferably in some kind of public forum. They are so easy to spot and will stand out as easily as a Chocolate Starfish!

But the cause has to be very clear in order to counter it and get to the root.
Who are people we should look into, to see what they did? Christ and Buddha come to mind. More contemporary examples?

Breemaborg! Yes! We are truly idiots, then, are we not? But then again, we already knew that,
Oskr! Yes, healing could be of use. :)
Sometimes there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity: I don't think I've fully accepted it or understood it yet, hence why I'm so cool about it. However, you have! I think.
Ferz: WE WANT BARABAS! We all nailed Truth to that cross. I have no clue where I was at that time, but I'm sure that if I would have been there, I would probably have gone with the crowd. You see, that crowd was probably a great representation of what any of us would have done. And we continue to pay the price! After all, didn't we all root for Sophia at some point? And eat of the forbidden fruit?
Well, can you make a few matches for other people as well? For instance, who was Lucille Ball in a past life?
See, I thought I knew who I was too until it became clear that I had simply just gone crazy.
I think I know who I was too, but that's only because Brian matched me after my fall into insanity. I can be sure about that match, since it's his trade and he is, obviously, quite trained.
