Overview
The Real Exorcist unveils the truth behind spiritual disturbance, which according to Okawa, is a common occurrence that can be quelled with proper guidance. The initial chapter presents the general characteristics of malignant spirits and the mindset to fall under their sphere of influence. The chapter further explores the rite of exorcism, framed by the ritual used by Happy Science. In the following chapter, Okawa dissects the mechanism of spiritual disturbance and how to recognize subtle hints of control. These examples are juxtaposed with references to dramatized depictions of exorcism and possession in popular media. Okawa concludes the chapter by illustrating the ideal lifestyle to hinder opportunistic spirits. Chapter three introduces a taxonomy of diverse spiritual beings – from animal spirits to demons - that prey on weakened states of mind, with curated advice on how subdue them. Chapter four is a compilation of questions from readers with verbatim responses by Okawa pertaining to spiritual manifestations. Okawa outlines the diverse levels of faith and teaches how to gauge our awareness and strive for continuous spiritual progress.
Okawa underscores that anyone can overcome undesirable states of fate attributed to negative spiritual influences. By acquiring the correct understanding of the spiritual Truth, and putting it into practice, we can channel heavenly guidance and confidently persevere the milestone moments of our life.
