"Beings" Series Part 5... Demons.

Demons... Steeped in history and synonymous with mythology, folklore and occultism. In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered an unclean spirit, a fallen angel, or a spirit of unknown type which may cause demonic possession, calling for an exorcism. In Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of Greco-Roman magic, Jewish Aggadah and Christian demonology, a demon is believed to be a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled.

The belief in demons is as old as civilization itself, and most people will tell you that they believe that there are dark forces at play in the world. Infact I would say that there are more people in the world that believe in demons and the devil, than there are that believe in god, or jesus. Every ancient civilization, religion or ancient text, talks about demons in which ever guise they took at the time, and there has been countless occult societies, and devil worshipers trying to conjure up demons, that have sprung up through the ages. Some believe that they can be of an elemental type, and there are earth, wind, fire and water demons.

Demonic Possession... As this post is about demons, I'm afraid we have to talk about possession. Do I believe in demonic possession? we will go into this further on in the post. The earliest report of a demonic possession, comes from the Bible, old testament. But its not very clear if this is an actual possession report, or a warning of what might happen. We are told that "an evil spirit from the Lord troubled" Saul (1 Samuel 16:14). The Hebrew rûah need not imply a personal influence, though, if we may judge from Josephus (Ant. Jud., VI, viii, 2; ii, 2), the Jews were inclined to give the word that meaning in this very case. In New Testament times, however, the phenomenon had become very common. However, the Old Testament does contain numerous references to evil spirits, often interacting in malevolent ways with people. Descriptions of demonic possessions often include erased memories or personalities, convulsions (i.e. epileptic seizures or “fits”) and fainting as if one were dying. Other descriptions include access to hidden knowledge (gnosis) and foreign languages (xenoglossy), drastic changes in vocal intonation and facial structure, the sudden appearance of injuries (scratches, bite marks) or lesions, and superhuman strength. Unlike in channeling, the subject has no control over the possessing entity and so it will persist until forced to leave the victim, usually through a form of exorcism.

What do we believe? Well I for one believe that there is a type of being that has existed alongside humanity, and if you've read any of our other posts, you'll know that we believe that there are many different "beings". but what I do believe about demons, is that they have never been human, and some want to be. This is why there is so many reports of Possession. Why do they want to claim human bodies for themselves? who knows. perhaps there reality is a place that no one would want to be, and they do have the power to claim one's body. but I also believe that you need to be susceptible, or willing to "invite them in" and maybe some are cunning enough to fool you into giving up this right. But I also think that if you are strong, and are not easily fooled, or play with things that shouldn't be played with, Black magic, Ouija Boards (if lacking in experience) Etc, then you should be fine. But don't ever let down your guard, as you never know what might be waiting in the shadows...

Take Care out There, and Look After Each Other.

"Beings" Series Part 1...Black Masses.

Shadow people... Often perceived as a humanoid figure, in the shadows, and mostly seen in the peripheral vision, or corner of the eye. Most paranormal investigators know of these entities, and can share a few stories about them. There are a few famous shadowy figures that are reported all over the world, including the "Hat Man" and "The Hooded Figure". They have been reported for centuries, and have been a part of native american beliefs as well as in Islamic mythology and theology, known as the "Jinn".

The native american Tribe called the "Choctaws"

have lived in the Mississippi Region for 4,000 to 8,000 years, The Choctaws have stories about "Shadow Beings". Nalusa Chito, also known as a Impa Shilup, was the soul-eater, great black being. If people allow evil thoughts or depression to enter their minds, it would creep inside them and eat their soul. Nalusa Falaya (long black being) resembled a man, but with very small eyes and long, pointed ears. He sometimes frightened hunters or transferred his power of doing harm. Some believed that Nalusa Falaya preferred to approach men by sliding on his stomach like a snake. Hashok Okwa Hui'ga (Grass Water Drop) was believed to have a connection to what is termed will-o-the-wisp. Only its heart is visible, and that only at night. Hashok Okwa Hui'ga leads astray anyone who looks at it. It was also believed that every man had a shilombish (the outside shadow) which always followed him, and shilup (the inside shadow, or ghost) which after death goes to the land of ghosts. The shilombish was supposed to remain upon the earth, and wander restlessly about its former home, often moaning, to frighten its surviving friends, as to make them forsake the spot, and seek another place to live. It was also supposed to assume the form of a fox, or owl; and by barking like the one, and screeching like the other at night, cause great consternation, for the cry was considered ominous of bad things. The "Choctaws" could tell between the shilombish and animals it imitates. When a fox barks, or an owl screeches, another fox or owl replies. But when the shilombish imitates the sound of either animal, no response is given.

In Islamic mythology and theology, the "Jinn" is an Arabic Collective noun deriving from the Semitic root JNN (Arabic: جَنّ / جُنّ‎, jann), whose primary meaning is "to hide". Some authors interpret the word to mean, literally, "beings that are concealed from the senses". Cognates include the Arabic majnūn ("possessed", or generally "insane"), jannah ("garden"), andjanīn ("embryo"). Jinn is properly treated as a plural, with the singular being jinni. also romanized as djinn or anglicized as genies, are supernatural creatures in early Arabian and later Islamic Mythology and Theology. They are mentioned frequently in the Quran (the 72nd sura is titled Sūrat al-Jinn) and other Islamic texts and inhabit an unseen world, another universe beyond the known universe. The Quran says that the jinn are made of a smokeless and "scorching fire", but are also physical in nature, being able to interact in a tactile manner with people and objects and likewise be acted upon. The jinn, humans, and angels make up the three known sapient creations of God. Like human beings, the jinn can be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent and hence have free will like humans. The shaytan jinn are akin to Demons in Christian tradition.

 The jinn are not angels and the Quran draws a clear distinction between the two creations. The Quran states in Sūrat al-Kahf (The Cave), Ayah, that Iblis (Azazel) is one of the jinn.

So the Reported sightings and beliefs in shadow people have been around for quite a while, since the ancient civilizations, and most probably before, they may of always been here, and be older than humanity itself. We think that they are the inhabitants of one of the other realities that exist alongside our own, and are not, and haven't been Human. (Those who have read all of our Blogs know that we believe that there is at least another 25 other realities existing within this universe.) and possibly exist close to our own vibration (Frequency), enabling us to observe the odd glimpse, or flicker in our peripheral Vision. 

We believe that we captured a photograph of "The Hooded Figure" on one of our investigations.

Here's a closer look...

the 96%...

Its quite widely known, and is talked about a lot these days, that there is a presence in the universe that all science has no idea about. the universe is huge (Obviously!) and there is a lot of stuff that we can see. its quite unimaginable really how vast, and how much matter there is out in the universe.

Its huge!, and if you take all of the moons, planets, stars, galaxies, asteroids, comets etc. and added them all up, you'd only have 4% of the entire universe! So where is the other 96% of the universe? and what is it doing?

logarithmic visualization of the observable universe by 

Pablo Carlos Budassi

The spectacular illustration features our Solar System at the very center, followed by "inner and outer planets, Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, Alpha Centauri, Perseus Arm, Milky Way galaxy, Andromeda galaxy, nearby galaxies, Cosmic Web, Cosmic microwave radiation and Big Bang's invisible plasma on the edge."

So there's a lot of talk in the media of "Dark matter" and "Dark Energy",  basically these are scientific terms for 

​"we haven't got a clue!"

We believe that the other 96% are other "wavelengths" or other "Radio stations" for reality. if you take the electromagnetic field for instance, there is only a small fraction of "visible light", what if the universe was like this, and there were many different realities existing on other frequencies within the whole universe...

One of our biggest theories is that the 4% part of the universe we exist in, is one of many different realities that exist within the "whole" that is the universe. a bit like different radio stations existing within the radio waves that you can tune into on a radio. If our Frequency only takes up just 4%, then that means there is another 25 of these "reality Stations" existing together in one universe. Now I could go on about how shadow people could belong to another "Reality station", or any entity/conciousness for that matter. but i will leave that for another day.

Lets Start Small...Very Small.

Well, I'm afraid there is only one way to describe and explain our theories, and that's to get down to the nitty gritty, very small nitty gritty... quantum mechanics to be precise. there is only one way to understand our reality and the universe around us, and that is to study it. in 1801, Thomas Young performed the very first "double slit experiment" (for more detailed explanations, click here Double-Slit experiment) which at the time he was trying to understand weather light was matter, or waves. but what he found confused him, because, they were both, particle duality was born. and the study of this gave birth to quantum theory and the study of it today. what most people don't get is what this means. it means that the "matter" around us is only "matter" when it is being observed. take that in for a moment. this means that if something like a car isn't being observed by any "concious" being, it only exists as waves. waves of information. information that gives it its shape, colour, mass, materials its made of etc. So then this must mean that the entire world... the observable universe is made up of not matter, but of information, information that is waiting for us to observe it, or other "conciousness" to observe it. it is in a state of waiting, until we look at it, or observe in another means, measuring with electronic equipment designed to detect. But what is the most important thing about the observable universe existing in a state of duality is the conciousness, it needs conciousness to exist. so to sum up! lol we are literally making the universe around us by simply observing it, and collapsing its wave function. so we created it, not it created us...

​we believe that Conciousness plays a huge part in the universe, its not just a random algorithm that's a by-product of human evolution... not by a long shot!.
