Requiem for Angels and Demons
Reconsidering my own experiences with demons, John G. Lake's experiences in Adventures In God (which I just discovered, and note it is 'In', not 'With'), and T. L. Osborn's and Curry Blake's testimonies concerning demons, I must conclude that my first Christian assessment--that the world really is the way the Bible says it is--was correct. That is, there really are angelic and demonic spirit entities--God's forces are in control of everything. I call them, like us, conscii. And they are, like us, active agents in the field--of the field--of the Ineffable Most High's creatively powerful intelligent Mind.
The field reaches from its ineffable Source to countless trillions of trillions of, well, all of creation. Somehow It knows all things past, present, and future. That is easy enough to explain: It has already imagined them. But managing everything to its predetermined end--countless trillions of things all at once--must require delegation within the field. All conscii are part of that. Think of the Mind of God segmented into elegantly arranged hierarchies of responsibility like government or business administrations, all within the field. Should we be individualized as persons ... the Person .. and not they?
I understand that God is an imperceptible and imperishable field of which and from which everything has come. The testimony of the Bible seems to be, though, that all the powers and forces are individualized as persons. Angels and demons are not just quaint frameworks for our dealing with the dynamics of the field. They are conscii imbued with varying levels of authority, power, and responsibility of action. "Person" is the form of all the Ineffable's power; i.e., the field exists in persons, because He is a person: THE Person. It is my belief that we human conscii are the ignorance of the Ineffable's imagination--persons of that ignorance now manifest as humans: "We shall make the human being in the image our likeness" (Genesis 1:26 Alexander)--ignorance! That is our column, our channel in the hierarchy.
Angels and demons are in their columns of authority: angels above us, demons below. THESE ALSO ARE HIM. The CEO is every position (the industry, too): "The buck stops here." They are not separate, but are conscii of the Ineffable's Field of Mind marshaled with authority appropriate to their function. So the Devil and demons, like angels, do exist to do what they do, but they are UNDER the authority of all other conscii. They are manifestations of our ignorance. The Big Guy wants to get rid of them and is getting rid of them. They hear and must obey. If we can command demons, we can request angels' help. This is all His process of becoming.
The one we desire is Him, and the one we destroy is Him.
The one we serve is Him, and the one we rob is Him.
The one we love is Him, and the one we hate is Him.
All is the Divine: the good person and the bad person.
The involved, and the indifferent.
Address Him in every person as that Person:
"Amen, I am telling you, that whatever you do for one of these my little brethren, for me you have done that" (Matthew 25:40 Alexander).
We look to cooperation and love, not competition and conflict.
