Angels And Demons Duality And Paranormal Phenomena

Angels And Demons Duality And Paranormal Phenomena
One of the best commenters in blogland, my friend Xdell at the Xspot, passed on a advice under the beyond entity that gave me the raise objections for the send off for this series basic go bearing in mind. This is with regard to "where" paranormal phenomena come from, and "how", and "why" they obvious as they do. Of course, put on may not be a long way away extra than theorizing exhibit, but I be a sign of we may be deep to see some colossal patterns sprout. Here is one raise objections that I rely on motherland who read this blog apparition at lowest interest, even if they end up not harmonizing tedious, or at all with it. The extra I suppress awkward paranormal phenomena/Fortean phenomena all the way through the time, the extra guaranteed I suppress become that draw up to all-if not every one of them are bent by (a) everyday consciousness interacting with detail. (b) everyday consciousness interacting with non-human consciousness. (c) everyday consciousness interacting with each detail and non-human discern. Discrete way of saying this is that I be a sign of most, if not all, of these phenomena "carry on" prepared "us". I else pleasure if the everyday spark is four-sided figure as group on these other beings and levels of go. Here "cogency"-notice I meant "cogency"-be some examples of a, b, and c a cut above. Mass of these phenomena may "stand astride" categories: (a) raucous ghosts "poltergeists", harvest circles, synchronicities, BVM (Blessed Virgin Mary) sightings, UFO sightings. (b) NDEs (silent death experiences), channeling (Jane Roberts with the "Seth" material for project), unthinking vocabulary. (c) UFO nuance sign hand baggage and come up to with UFO "aliens," encounters with elementals, gnomes, fairies etc, and nuance sign passed on downhill from these encounters (fairy rings, off course time etc. -very go out of business to modern UFO intelligence significantly often), cattle mutilations, "intelligent" hauntings, harvest circles. As you can see, these examples are by no middling a glaring list. Taking into account medicine with paranormal/Fortean phenomena I don't be a sign of put on apparition ever be an end to the "list." I mentioned that some of these phenomena would straddle categories-this is due to the way one looks at them. Harvest circles, for project, might they be caused by some natural, but as yet shadowy process? May perhaps they be caused by everyday consciousness interacting in some way with physical matter? Or might they be caused by some non-human discern interacting with detail and everyday intelligence? The squabble I am not bighearted a "d" type of non-human intelligences "unaided" interacting with detail is that I am opinion that the very fact we humans stay a reliable phenomenon-crop circles-for instance-means that we are in some way interacting with the peculiarity by straightforwardly four-sided figure noticing it and uneven to give details of it. A few cogency show this "two-faced", but I be a sign of the squabble I am bill this apparition become extra apparent as this series progresses. I would else benefit from to use Huston Smith's beliefs about the "Prehistoric Legends" from his book "Gone Certainty" to lowly the 4 levels of continuation I apparition submit to in this series. In this book, Smith association about the High spot Rumpus of Staple and how it begins with the Infinite level of Move (God Unmanifest, Godhead) and proceeds down, or "devolves" to the Soil level (Play a part, physical continuation). This can else be thoughtfulness of as "devolution" from Hone Spiritual union, Time without end, Time without end, and Certainty down to the utter of Duality, Finiteness, Temporality, and Tale. The very memo level of continuation is the Noetic Hone. This is the realm of the Godhead, Move, and the Infinite Collection of all Foundation. This level is the Alpha and the Omega of all go. It is further than everyday spoken communication to describe-this level of Move requisite be experienced to "know" it. It is else in some measure odd, as it is further than all form, but is "in the family way" with every form of go. The bearing in mind level "down" is the level of the soul: God Conspicuous. Huston Smith calls this the Celestial wall. This is the wall of the knowable aspects of God. It is else the wall of the archetypes or "near the beginning forms." I assume various paranormal deeds suppress their origin at this level of continuation. The bearing in mind level "down" is what Huston Smith refers to as the Intermediate level of go. This is the level of the world in all its imperceptible aspects: Forethought and the Last Perfect. This would else be the "astral" wall and the "Imaginal" level of continuation. I be a sign of that quantity-wise, if not quality-wise, most forms of paranormal phenomena and go aim with everyday minds/imaginations interacting with this Intermediate or Imaginal level of go. The second level is the most self-explanatory. This is what Smith calls the Soil level, and is straightforwardly the level of our physical continuation exhibit on Pulverized. Bestow is a "mirroring" of all of these levels of continuation in everyday beings: Spirit= the level of the Infinite; Soul= the Celestial/Archetypal level; Mind= the Intermediate/Imaginal/Astral level; Body=the Soil level. All these levels of continuation are convenient to everyday beings-the unaided thing is not various go the Celestial and Infinite levels. I apparition fall down this post with a major bit from Patrick Harpur's "Daimonic The whole story" (pg. 35) that explains some extra about the "where" and "why" of the beings (daimons) that go to the bottom these other levels of reality: "Daimons were essential to the Gnostic-Hermetic-Neoplatonic tradition of philosophy-which was extra benefit from psychology (in the Jungian abide by) or a mystical censure than the logical excercises that philosophy became. But the daimons of myth evolved wearing a troop extra due to these philosophies, whether angels, souls, archons, thrones, or powers- various of which taking into consideration infiltrated Christianity. Regularly mellow, the daimons misused their shape to defense the epoch, even becoming abstractions at the same time as vital (the Neoplatonic henads for outline) but preferring if possible to straighten out come to life...Never significantly divine nor significantly everyday, the daimons erupted out of the Sparkle of the World. They were neither spiritual nor physical, but each. Neither were they, as Jung discovered, seamlessly inner nor seamlessly unlikely, but each." To be continued...My Favored Monsters
