Ahhhhhh.
Forget the flat earth, the existence of evil spirits is causing me more cognitive dissonance than anything before it.
So I've been a Christian for quite some time but I was kept from understanding just how intrusive and prevalent evil spirits are.
I had always thought demons (aka evil spirits) were a rare case if at all.
Or that you needed to practice black magic or take hallucinogenic chemicals to encounter fallen spirits.
I've been very sceptical regarding them.
And I never seriously accepted the fact that Jesus and His disciples cast demons out.
I guess I've been brainwashed being educated in the modern world where naturalistic sciences are the rule and the norm.
E.g. Naturalistic Psychology/Psychiatry was the answer to behavioural problems, and drugs were needed to correct chemical imbalances along with cognitive therapy.
Reading the book of Enoch has put some puzzle pieces together in my recent inquiry.
Specifically:
Chapter 15 Enoch
1. And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice: 'Fear not, Enoch, thou righteous man and scribe of righteousness: approach hither and hear my voice. 2. And go, say to ⌈⌈the Watchers of heaven⌉⌉, who have sent thee to intercede ⌈⌈for them: "You should intercede"⌉⌉ for men, and not men for you: 3. Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and begotten giants (as your) sons? 4. And
p. 43
though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those ⌈also⌉ do who die and perish. 5. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth. 6. But you were ⌈formerly⌉ spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. 7. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling. 8. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 9. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, ⌈⌈and⌉⌉ from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; ⌈they shall be evil spirits on earth, and⌉ evil spirits shall they be called. [10. As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] 11. And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, ⌈but nevertheless hunger⌉ and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded ⌈from them⌉.
Now I see a demon under ever rug, and I'm reassessing every thought.
Can someone bring some light to this topic please?
Just how common are evil spirits (e.g. How many are there walking the earth?)
Why when I watch charismatic demon castings do I see something appearing totally fake?
Also,
I've researched Allister Crowley and I thought what he contacted (LAM) was a fallen angel.
Similar to what the Sharman's contact when tripping on mushrooms, peyote and hayabusa.
And finally where are the fallen angels?
I know one is chained in the abyss for tribulation.
Are 1/3 of the Angelic hosts who fell in the second heaven?
