Dr. Schwartz' findings do not resonate with me. Gabriel also happens to be the 'patron' of writers so I feel an affinity for him. I'm not speaking from direct experience on this one, but as I understand it, Gabriel is an Archangel which is among the highest levels of angelic beings along with Elohim.
I consider you extremely fortunate to have AA Gabriel as a guide. That is truly wonderful!
Gabriel is one of the blessings that keep me going.
Gary S. and others were amazed and gratified that He showed up in Gary's experiment. Is it the unlikeliness of this that does not resonate with you?
I have no problem with Gary's finding that Gabriel is one of your guides. My reservation is that you indicated that Swartz' findings revealed that Gabriel is a discarnate spirit. It's entirely possible that he and I have totally different definitions of what constitutes a discarnate spirit. It's also possible that he's referring to a different Gabriel, but that seems unlikely.
Would it help if I sent a link to the experiment?
I read up on nagas briefly and found much of what you say here. Does the Vedic literature state that beings of such an ambivalent nature are responsible for the boundary keeping demons out? If so, what is their incentive??
It's more a matter of assignment than incentive. It's the role they play in creation the way nature spirits guide the growth of forests, gardens... I do not know what their big picture evolutionary path is... probably very different from humans although I suspect there is the possibility that a naga could incarnate as a human and visa versa.
I delved into esoteric Islam (Rene Guenon) for a time. His was the only reference I have seen in the Western tradition to a boundary keeping demons out. He claimed that the world religions, despite their flaws, kept that boundary quite secure until the secularization following the Enlightenment. With the demise of religion, the demons were free to swarm across the barricade, contributing to the last and worst phase of the Kali Yuga. Oi vey, so many viewpoints! (Guenon also equated jinn with demonic entities globally--he would not use any other word for them!)
In Kali Yuga, all hell literally breaks loose. Think about that phrase for a moment. Jinn, or more commonly Djinn, is an Urdu term. It's quite commonly used in India because many Urdu terms have made their way into Hindi. Djinn's are spirits or demons of a certain class, but a much milder class of being than Rakshasas/Asuras which are considered the most powerful/darkest in the Hindu tradition.
