Demonic possession
From Bahai9
Possession[edit]
"Regarding your question relative to the condition of those people who are described in the Gospel as being possessed of devils: This should be interpreted figuratively; devil or satan is symbolic of evil and dark forces yielding to temptation."
- (From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, November 20, 1938: Ibid., in Lights of Guidance, no. 1738)
