The conversation takes a harrowing turn when Robert recounts his own possession experience. After attempting to exorcise a demon from a five-year-old boy, Robert invited the entity to take him instead. It struck him physically, leaving a hard lump in his lip, and gradually seized control of his body through episodes of involuntary movement. The possession culminated in a terrifying moment on a rooftop car park when the entity marched him to the edge while holding his infant son, intending to throw the child off. Robert describes watching helplessly from outside his own body before regaining control at the last moment.
Robert explains how he eventually freed himself by retreating into the Australian wilderness, sleeping over a running water stream whose positive energy expelled the entity. The lump in his lip burst at the moment of release. He connects this physical mark to the historical "stigmata diabolis" used during witch trials to identify possession, and discusses how modern science remains blind to phenomena that ancient traditions understood.
Key Moments
Bruce tells the entity 'take me and leave the child': Bruce describes a desperate moment with a five-year-old whose eyes glowed red during a session: he told the attaching entity 'take me and leave the child.' The instant he spoke, something struck him in the lower right lip, paralyzed him, raised a walnut-sized welt and crushed his hips for fifteen minutes.
His own hand starts throwing things on its own: Days after the failed exorcism, Bruce sat reading and his right hand reached out, seized an object, and threw it against the wall without his bidding. Over subsequent days his leg would kick on its own and his hand would smash glasses on the floor in fluid, non-jerky motions he could not feel.
A deity in the Australian wilderness draws an arrow to water: Lost and dehydrated in 125-degree Australian wilderness, Bruce describes seeing a building-sized deity form in the sky above him; he asked for help and a bow appeared in its hands. It loosed a cloud-arrow that hung perfectly still, pointing into the valley. He followed the line to a tiny hidden spring two miles below.
The rope technique for inducing an out-of-body experience: Bruce explains his signature technique: while lying in trance, exteriorize body awareness by feeling - not visualizing - disembodied hands climbing a rope above you. Shifting your center of awareness this way, he says, can trigger projection or finish off the exit when symptoms have already begun.
Joe in Seattle: the rolling vibration in the head: A Seattle caller recalls being 16, drifting toward sleep, and feeling a rolling vibration buzzing inside his head as he 'started to come away' from himself - terrified, he forced himself awake. Bruce identifies it as a natural OBE ability that frightened the caller into a period of mental disturbance, and suggests the way out is to learn to ride the experience instead of resisting it.
