“Let me be crystal clear, however, that being willing is very different than being open. I meet many people who are closed up for whatever reason. They may have been abandoned as children, they may have deep-seated trust issues, have been abused or be painfully shy by nature. They might simply be skeptical about me, believing that no one (especially a tattooed “exorcist” wearing a skull T-shirt) can truly help them. As long as they are willing to open up to the idea that I might help, then I’m eager to try. When I meet with closed-off clients, I know their exorcism is going to be exhausting and tough. Either they’re so full of malevolent entities that I won’t be able to see the source of the darkness inside them, or they’re so guarded that they’re going to repeatedly resist opening up to me. In the first case, I know I’ll always succeed and perform a top-notch exorcism—it’s just going to take me a little longer. But in the second case, I’ll need my client to work with me.”
