Yes, that too.Traditionally, I'd say yes. Goetia explicitly speaks of lying spirits, and the fae aren't always honest.
A liar in this life could be a liar in the next, etc.
Any advice thanks.
Sorry to post in an old thread however i am very interested in this. To recap i posted last week that my loved one had passed away in Jan 2014. Since that time i had feelings of presence in my home, problems with electricity and favorite old songs playing on my mobile even when it was flat. I reported that when i underwent the self guided afterlife connection procedure all the electrical problems in my home ceased and things were generally calmer. My loved one also told me during these 'visits" that he would contact me on a certain date by phone/music, and the phone certainly did play music at these times.
Since my last posting i have had more of the mobile phone/music playing and also information verified from the procedures. This includes name and details of a deceased relative of my loved one that i had no prior knowledge of. I have been communicating using the afterlife procedure and meditation for a month now and it certainly seems as it is my loved one.I have also had no evidence of any lies. It concerns me that it could be another entity posing as this person however i have had no feelings of anything untoward. I did however get message from my loved one to throw out any witchcraft or occult books from my home and there were lots left behind by a previous tenant. Any advice thanks.
Lots of great posts here with lots of valuable tidbits. Rumspringa, I especially like your post.
Here's one point which I think is perhaps relevant. It seems to me that ALL the entities are very careful to never cross the "line" of "plausible deniability." For example:
-If Spirits were souls passed on and were still loving their human relatives, then wouldn't some of them want their relatives to enjoy Earthly comfort? So, why aren't all lottery wins inspired by dreams with the winning numbers?
-If Spirits can be good/bad/indifferent then why don't we get some spirits who don't care about remaining mysterious? Why don't we have a Spirit on Oprah (via a Medium) rattling off a vast litany of specific facts of all sorts proving that it really is a Spirit.
-Similarly, why don't good Spirits help us with crimes? We have the example of Chris Robinson (http://www.dream-detective.com/) who is very, very interesting but he is given tentative information. He is not given the name, address, motive of the criminal along with the specific location of the murder weapon and the name/address of witnesses a, b, and c who can get the conviction.
If all entities were good, then we could hypothesize that they were cooperating with God and that God didn't want these things told.
However, if some entities are bad and are allowed (by God I guess) to get up to mischief then what stops them from going all the way? Why isn't there at least one who crosses the line of plausible deniability? It is true that our culture denies these things and so evidence is ignored but it is also true that that only goes so far. Overwhelming evidence would get the attention of the world. Who prevents the line of plausible deniability being crossed?
So, what I am saying is that there seems to be a regulator. The regulator has power over all these discarnate thingees and stops them crossing the line. The regulator also knows the future (see Chris Robinson) and knows EXACTLY where the line of plausible deniability is. This regulator also makes no mistakes. Who do we know who is omnipotent, omniscient and never makes mistakes? God would seem the only answer.
Not sure what I think of that. I guess it is demons licensed by God.
The strange thing, however, is that regardless of his insights, Yogananda still deeply loved this 'thing' behind reality, I have no idea how he could bring himself to do so! I guess in the same way that many battered wives develop a co-dependent relationship with their tormentors and think 'but he loves me really....' !
I'm seeing eery parallels in NDEs. In NDEs the being of light tailors itself to whatever religious figure the dying might find comfort in. A Muslim might see Muhammad, a Christian Jesus. Is this any different from how the fairies and elves shapeshift to become grey aliens, reptilians, and Nordics? In many joyful NDEs, we're told that we're actually pieces of God, we're Gods ourselves and that God wants to experience every possible existence through us vicariously. Gold loves us. But Gold also wants experience every nook and cranny of human suffering and cruelty, too. In Nancy Danilson's NDE, the Source was characterized as all-powerful but also playful and curious.
Raymond Moody is seen as being coy after having written umpteen books on NDEs. But I think that's exactly what he has in mind. When asked, what do you really think life is, he still says, he hasn't got a clue. But his wildest guess is that it's a form of entertainment by the creator; the creator is entertaining himself while we (or pieces of him) go through our travails with this veil of ignorance. Hmm, a form of entertainment. Doesn't this sound a lot like simulation? "
