Yes, demons exist. Demons are ancient beings or "shells" left over from previous universes according to some occult scholars. I'm glad someone has finally joined me in saying it. I have been talking about this for YEARS on my Dreamwidth blog. https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/tag/demons That said, reacting hysterically and running with open arms into a greedy religion's astral pyramid will nearly guarantee you remain as spiritually retarded and demon-infested as you were before. I will make a long story short. I am a former atheist and eternal skeptic I always maintain everything I say could be wrong. A wandering entity who I think may have been a god said to me "If you want to cast the demon out of the boy, then you must love the boy more than you hate the demon inside of him". After much meditation, I believe the entity is saying it is OK to hate the demon (especially since it is torturing the boy by obsessing or possessing him) but the foundation of love you feel for the kid has to be much stronger. By building on the good within yourself and within the boy, you become powerful enough to send the demon packing. John Carter does not have dumb readers that I know of so I know the lot of you will find much food for thought here. The reason I am fairly certain the "love the boy more than you hate the demon" statement did not come from my own brain is I am not that bright.

Excellent comment. I'd only add that hate is impossible without love; hate is love's shadow.

Also, I thought you might find this post interesting.

Thanks! The funny thing about hate is I don't see it as love's shadow. Remember when those BLM retards used to twerk at anti-Trump rallies? They claimed to hate him but their actions spoke louder than words. They were doing a fertility dance in hopes of getting Trump's coveted attention. Hate is similar to love because there is passionate involvement in both. The opposite of love and hate seems to be the black void of indifference.

I definitely agree - indifference is the opposite. I characterize hate as the shadow of love because it can't really exist apart from it. One loves one's family, and therefore hates that which threatens it, for example. Love cannot be created by hate, but stands on its own; hate, however, almost invariably emerges from love.

Indifference, meanwhile, does not require love as a precondition, at all.

I discovered your blog through this essay: https://barsoom.substack.com/p/pixel-valhalla Which is deeply insightful by the way, and I always love your taste in art and am curious as to where you find all of that cool stuff. The idea of hell being cold resonates here -- indifference is often described as "glacial" and not just because it moves slowly.

Pixel Valhalla is one of my favorites.

I don't have any one place I go for art, but I make extensive use of Artstation, which has a lot of very good concept art in one place. Other than that, I just keep my eyes peeled; when I see an image that grabs my eye, I save it, but also look up the artist to see if they have anything else I might like. If they do, a new folder gets added to my collection.

Which is getting a bit unwieldy. At some point I need to go through and catalogue it, associate it with descriptive metadata to make it easier to locate images.

Laughing at your last sentence. You seem like you might be capable of pulling it off 😉. Question was this all a vision or was there really a possessed boy?

Back in the day I used to go a bit wild with hallucinogenics. Been well over 20yrs since I have touched one let alone contemplated doing so again. You see some crazy shit for those of you have never partaken in the ceremony. Every time we would trip it felt like we were getting ready to engage in spiritual warfare. When you would come down you would feel so relieved as if you had just awakened from a terrible nightmare. Which is why I no longer have the will to do it. As of late tho, I must admit that it has crossed my mind. Just not sure I can handle it these days.

You're too kind. These odd moments with wise entities tend to happen when I am standing near my piano or my kitchen sink. There was no boy in particular; I was merely thinking about demonic possession and the entity attempted to enlighten me. I think my birthmother may have dropped acid. I think that's one of the many reasons she abandoned me at birth and never wanted to see me again. It could explain why I am so damn weird. Maybe I was part of creepy bargain with an LSD demon LOL. LSD sounds terrifying and that's why I have never done it despite many opportunities. I think it probably opens doors. Not all doors should be opened.

You are not as weird as you might think.

The end game is the elmination of men...for then and only then will he have free reign over this planet.

I have felt intangible evil since December 2019....but I know it has crept in since long before that. It is now in the process of killing the Western world, as its last vestsiges stand in the way of our total annihilation, but I am not so sure it will hold out any longer.

I think praying is a very very good idea. Every day, morning and night.

I think we can safely say that what we call evil played their heftiest card to date in 2020 and are preparing the ground after a hiatus for the next even heftier card. All the signs are there. They have to tell you what their next move is going to be. Some big eye catching event will hold the world's attention while the manipulators move the final pieces into place.

That said... I personally believe that the manipulators are making it all up and no such entities exist or have been shown to exist for now. Books and fairy tales do not evidence make. They are just stories based on ancient drug hallucinations and other mind warping events.

Thank you for your response, Tsubion. I have a local group that I started along with a friend (a mother of five) called Speakeasy Illinois that was and is devoted to going around the boobs and schmucks, patronizing establishments that didn't force the masks, helping people get religious or legal exceptions from the quaxx, and promoting and in some cases forming alternative schools. I believe it was groups like mine that made it impossible for Illinois to turn into mini-Germany, mini-Israel, or mini-Canada during the demonic Plandemic, where a bunch of salary class hangers-on chose a demon from the Goetia over the health and safety of own children and their god, for if God was protecting them, why did they need to wear masks and take vaccines? https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/81855.html

Just my opinion here, but I don't think the manipulators (or the manipulated) are smart enough to understand the demons they've sold themselves off to for the next group of lifetimes. Not that demons are particularly smart, but they are cunning. Here is a fun blog entry where I speculate what might happen to the souls of those who bought into the 2020-2022 muckfest: https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/76360.html

I used to think my own conversations with the dead, night terrors, and precious few moments of spiritual enlightenment were all in my head too. I was atheist for most of my life despite being raised and confirmed as a Christian. Casual Christianity of the sort I was raised in is basically materialist atheism despite its claims to the contrary. Once I started doing daily discursive meditation, I began to know myself a little better and though I could be wrong, I think there were signs from those sessions that led me towards a different (very oddball) perspective: https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/4166.html

We don't need to believe in demons... they believe in us, and they believe us to be tasty. https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/111818.html

Some say the sense if not awareness that there indeed be dragons is universal, as if hardwired in the human psyche. Anybody who has no “inner demons” and never recognized evil is somebody I’ve never met in the flesh. Even if I did, I’d suspect they were in denial and then wish them luck with frail coping methods.

Speaking of Christian childhoods, your comment “love the boy more than you hate the demon” reminded me: “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear” (1 John 4:18). Not that fear and hate are synonyms, but love is a solid antonym for each. And I’m not sure that hate, per se, is evil. Previous comments sent me to 30 times the Old Testament (NIV) mentions righteous hatred. God Himself apparently hates a thing or two, such as everything evil.

I guess people holding certain beliefs and applying them to their environment works in mysterious ways. I don't believe in demons or angels or unicorns or fairies but I guess overlaying fictional entities onto the world we live in can be useful sometimes. We tell children not to wonder too deep into the woods because dragons, witches, and demons lurk there. Then children spend the rest of their lives overcoming this anxiety and trauma by researching the literature on demons and dragons and witchcraft. Some may even become witches themselves or priests that carry out exorcisms.

I believe that Base Level exists and that everything comes from there. Theoretical physicists say that we come from nothing which is obviously nonsense and they're simply changing the meaning of the word nothing so that they don't have to admit the existence of Base Level and that a permanent state of pure consciousness resides there. That's a leap that I indulge in the same way that religious folk claim the mind of God resides there beyond space and time. But it's impossible for us to actually know what lies beyond. Logic and reason and meditation and physics is the best we can do for now.

I wouldn't put my life in God's hands when it comes to radiation or jumping out of a plane without a parachute. The most praying can do is make you feel a bit better about your lot and certainly has been shown to boost health and well-being, but thinking you can pray your way out of dangerous situation is a fools game. Just ask the Christians that were fed to lions in the Coliseum. Where was their God then?

We have to help ourselves through knowledge and using the intelligence that has emerged from Base Level. Knowing that there are no viruses and contagion is a myth was enough to get me through the last four years without putting a foot wrong. The pain of watching all the people around me fall for the con was still unbearable and even to this day I'm on edge knowing that it can all happen again at the drop of a hat.

What I do acknowledge is the existence of psychopaths and sociopaths which certainly have an effect on human life as we know it and the manipulation of old stories based on darkness and light and the way those stories are mapped onto every aspect of our lives. That's undeniable.

Yes, and perhaps deep meditation and prayer can get you there. There’s only been a handful of times I have been able to speak. I have been rather candid thus far and I see no reason to pull back now. It has only been in a certain state of mind that I have been able to find the next level. It hasn’t been so long ago but it takes the right combination of the right elements. It always hurts the next day.

There were times I had some problems. It would later be defined by sleep paralysis but I’m not so sure. It’s funny I’m a big strong guy. Have been in many dangerous situations over my 40+ lifespan. But that stuff scared me bad. Perhaps that’s because there was nothing I could physically fight. Some of those movies (damn that James Wan lol) hit me hard. It’s sort of comical, me being a second amendment guy, yet I totally puss out when it comes to entities from the netherworld ☺️

I had sleep paralysis almost every night between the ages of 16-22. I think it is why no horror film on Earth can scare me. I may get angry and turn it off or storm out of the room -- my particular brand of autism comes with noise sensitivity -- but I won't be scared. A couple of years ago during peak Plandemic, I saw a full body apparition in the forest preserve. He was the ghost (etheric body) of a guy who had committed suicide. There was no fear at all. I was surprised it went down that way. I always thought my "I see dead people" moment would be scarier. Instead it was no big deal. I think I may end up as an exorcist in a future life.

I've dabbled in occult in a time long ago and absolutely believe that demons are real. My last nightmare regarding this was a suffocation dream where I was told deep in the bowels of Hell that I had to face all of the demons or I would die. I could not breath or move in real life, which happens in the worst ones. My husband shook me violently awake as I have told him to do if he sees me in distress while sleeping. That was about two weeks ago.

God has told me to watch my dreams lately. I think something is coming and much sooner than we think...

Ay yi yi! That sounds like a terrible experience on the astral plane. I recommend putting bowls of vinegar by your bedside and asking God to bless them in prayer. Vinegar scrambles the etheric bodies of the entities who attempt to suffocate you and steal your breath. Also consider printing out some bedside geometrics and placing them near or underneath the bed: https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/26916.html These patterns enchant, confuse, and distract demons and trap them in an endless repeating maze. By the time you're done resting/sleeping, they have exhausted all the energy they were going to spend messing with you.

The general state of the collective astral is GARBAGE right now, and not a day goes by where there isn't an astral crap-storm on the horizon. You're not the only one sensing it.

I agree and disagree: some angels were re-named as saints, goddesses became the Virgin Mary, but demons were still recognized.

Gotta push back here. Certainly there are Christians who insist that the gods of the pantheon are demons. CS Lewis and Tolkien would certainly have disagreed with this - so do I. The gods are more properly thought of as angels. To insist otherwise is to imply that our ancestors were demon-worshippers for many thousands of years; the historical record contradicts this, for to the contrary, they were not evil men.

They were not evil men. They were merely ignorant of the divine being's true intentions. And that's assuming they were ignorant, for Greeks told quite many tales about their gods doing all kinds of ungodly things. It has been two decades since I last read Greek mythology so my memory is a little hazy, but I remember it was actually Titans who created much of 'Earth' and Olympians gained control over it through insurrection.

The principal distinction between demons and angels - and as a Christian I can talk for a long time about this - is that 'angels' are spirits who are willingly aligned with God's will. 'Demons' are spirits that want do to their own thing without regard for God's will. However, they sometimes do God's will because they are unable to do anything else - they are bound.

For their own purposes, demons would want to be worshipped. However, God might bind them to do good, and teach people true wisdom. They do not do this because they want to but because their own limbs move on their own accord, driven by axioms of the Universe - which are in turn set by God.

Some of the ancient gods are undoubtedly angels - spirits willingly doing what God commands. Yet angels desire above all else that which God desires - that God and Men unite forever. Driven by this desire, angels would normally always attempt to redirect all worship from themselves and onto God. Many pagan religions attest to this claim of mine, when for example Greeks belived it was from Love that all things flow. Or modern Hindus have their Brahmin, which I don't understand completely but which seems to be a concept on the same wavelength as Allah, or God. Tao is absolutely suspicios of being a mask behind which God hides.

So, I'm certain that some of old gods were proper angels. However angles, Christians say, would never willingly allow themselves to be worshipped. Not so demons. Demons can absolutely be expected to try and insert themselves as objects of worship, since they either don't care about God's desire to unite with Men, or are actively oposed to the very notion.

This all leads me to conclude the majority of old (and modern) gods were/are demons with some angels who got caught up by circumstances. A percentage of gods had to have been just pure idols - pure vapid folly. And a final percentage must be ghosts - dead humans. Ultimately, it's plausible that most pantheons have one (or more) entities that correspond to God.

I can also speculate, I belive groundedly, on the demons' true motivation. :) It all comes down to the ability to act. See, in the general case, information is destroyed through acts. I just added two numbers together, and the result is 4. What two numbers did I add up? :) Now, some people like quantum physicists like to postulate the "zeroeth" [EDIT: ugh mistake on my part, it's "minus first"] law of thermodynamics, which says "information can neigher be created nor destroyed, it can only change from one form to another", but this is a wild claim given without any backing. Consider the hypothetical: you are a spirit - thus not implemented by subatomic particles, not existing in spacetime and before you is a black box. Well, it can't be in front of you because you don't have a body, but you have access to it. And the black box will add two integers and give you the result when you ask it to. You ask it and it gives you a '4'. Is this hypothetical plausible? Well, we imagined it so clearly it COULD happen. Therefore, in general, information can be destroyed. If anybody, like your friends the quantum physicists, wishes to claim that, in our Universe, information isn't destroyed - CAN'T be destroyed - they need to come up with really, really convincing evidence for it.

So, going forward with the presumption information is being destroyed in our Universe, that means the range of possible futures narrows the more time passes. Until, one day, all the free information is used up and the Universe enters an infinte loop where, first, everything repeats forever and, second and very important, the information of how 'we' ended up in the loop is itself lost. Now, clearly, no demon would want to find himself in such a situation. It's literally a prison. So, they need to somehow secure a source of fresh information. Well, the only place this can come from is God who already provided the Universe with it's starting amount of information. But they already decided they don't want anything to do with God. But hey, look, there's a lucky opening! God loves humans and will feed THEM fresh information forever! Therefore, the demon's master plan was and is to *capture* humans, forcing God to feed them information through channels the demons control and then obviously syphoning it for themselves. So I belive they consider us, at best, nothing more than cattle.

And just to complete the story, the God's master counter is to extripate humans out of the demon's grasp, make a brand new Universe into which he would shift those humans which want and angles, and then cut off the new Universe from the old and be done with the rebellious rabble. The rabble will never be destroyed, they'll just eventually use up all the information they have in their pocket Universe and enter the aforementioned infinite loop. AKA, they'll enter Hell for good.

No demons here, that's for the semitic peoples and their offspring.

Väsen, yes. (Sorry, can't translate it to english, there's no idiomatic equivalent.)

Powrs, yes.

Some hinder, some help, some do both or neither at different times. The basic rule is, don't bother them and they won't bother you. If you do deal with them, always uphold your end of the bargain: to renege is to give them power over you.

And show such respect as each is due - respect with its meaning in germanic/teutonic kultur: appreciation of ability and the honouring of someone for their deeds.

Not, as among the semites and latins and such, deferrence to power. Never that. Never bow to power.

Abraham was ready to murder his child on the command fo his "god".

No celtic, no slavic, no Nordic or sámi or ugric or fenno-scandic or teutonic deity ever demanded that. How could they? Only a slave-mentality culture where some think they are set to rule and others to follow because of a name or a word could behave like that.

If there are what you call demons and djinn, they only have power over those who follow the god who created the master of demons in the first place.

The Greek understanding of daemon was quite different from its usage in modern English; a spirit entity, yes, but in a neutral sense. The Abrahamic division of the unseen into either good or evil, with no in between, is mistaken in my opinion; nevertheless it at least acknowledges the unseen, which is more than modernity does, and therefore erects some form of defense.

I'm glad you mentioned the Greeks. But I don't think even classical Greeks believed gods or daimons were neutral.

My authority is The Art of Baccyhlides by Anne Pippin Burnett who sums it up nicely on page 126:

“Most people are passionate and uncomprehending, but only a few destroy (or save) something of power and magnificence with their blind decisions. These few are the executors of schemes invented by gods (or by daimons [in this case Eros]) and recognized by poets, after the fact, because of the sublime authority of their patterning. A system of omens and portents is characteristic of such divine schemes . . .”

I also recommend to anyone who’s interested The Orphic Hymns by Apostolos N. Athanassakis and Benjamin M. Wolkow concerning the relationship of worshippers to the gods and daimons and their supplications and initiations into the mysteries.

Season 1, Episode 8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuhBDkIn_RM In reality, they were probably bound and the series makes one too many artistic liberty. They likewise did the same a few episodes earlier (Episode 6) where they depict a noble's burial and show the slave as simply standing still while her throat is slit. In reality, the slave was completely shitfaced and held by several men while outside a bunch of other men beat their shields so they wouldn't hear the woman scream as she was stabbed to death.

Your facts are wrong, Rikard.

And your interpretation of "sacrifice" of Isaac is also wrong, which we can see when we compare it to the old Greek myth of sacrifice of Iphigenia to Artemis. In the Greek myth, Artemis demands Iphigenia be sacrificed to her. Iphigenia is put through the ritual but at the last moment, Artemis replaces her with a deer and Iphigenia is lifted into the heavens to serve Artemis. The myth therefore justifies human sacrifice, stating that, while you are physically killing a human, in actual fact you're killing just a sacrificial offering while the real human has already been lifted to the gods. Meanwhile, in the Christian "myth" of Isaac, God himself stops the sacrifice at the last moment, states not to do it and demands an alternative (which he promptly provides). Therefore, the Christian myth UNDERMINES the very idea of human sacrifice and depicts it as unpleasing to God. This was very important and completely revolutionary at the time, as the Mesopotamians had been performing human sacrifices. In this way, the god Abram prayed to set himself completely apart from other Mesopotamian deities. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-world-history-of-violence/ritual-killing-and-human-sacrifice-in-the-ancient-near-east/15D2059982C482750124293D29EF55BA For the sake of my own time, I'll skip over the ancient Mesopotamian religion, but suffice to say God branched Abram out of in a very, very organic and mild way. Abram had no idea what he was getting himself into.

Humans sacrifice is going on now, globally. people offer up their children for the god of science like Maddie De Garay. Then they are surprised when the god takes them. They offer their children to the god of Education, who warps their minds , then are surprised they do not understand their child anymore. they offer their child to the soul eating screen deamons, then wonder why the child cannot listen to or have a conversation with them. If adult criminals are sacrificed by their own families, that is ok, not children.

My interpretation isn't an interpretation: it is what happens in the story. Abraham is commanded to murder his son and bows down to power (a god) ready to do murder.

Period, end of - because that is what happens.

That his god later intervenes doesn't change the initial demand or Abraham's choice.

Child sacrifice was the term I used.

Using a TV-series as source disqualifies your entire arguement as the events depicted in the series comes from a moslem arab narrator who has been proven time and again to have made up a story not consistent with archeological and historical fact.

If human sacrifice was carried out at all, which is far from certain, what little points to it indicates it was criminals and prisoners taken in war and not paid ransom for that were sacrificed.

The whole slew of stories about human sacrifices in celtic, germanic et cetera cultures is virtually certain to be christian propaganda, which has been well-known for over a century now.

That christians persist in spreading lies is sadly unsurprising, but understandable given that they completely lack actual fatih, only paying lip-service for profit in service of their deity of rape, murder and slavery.

Read your bible. Abraham's god endorse all three atrocities.

I quoted one other thing before mentioning a TV series. I knew about late pagan human sacrifices before the series came out because I remember when it was announced archeologists discovered human remains under some old temple, with "human sacrifice" being the most logical explanation (reviewing the evidence while writing this comment, it's possible I misremember and the bodies weren't found under a temple but under or in association with a noble's house, nevertheless bodies were certainly found). I was looking for that before writing the response but since my recollection of details is a bit vague, I was able to find only a book chapter on the overall subject and not the actual images I saw a decade ago. Fear not! Here, let's have National Museum of Denmark explain to us: "However, archaeological finds from recent years show that human sacrifice was a reality in Viking Age Denmark." https://en.natmus.dk/historical-knowledge/denmark/prehistoric-period-until-1050-ad/the-viking-age/religion-magic-death-and-rituals/human-sacrifices/ But I suppose children fell down the well. I wonder why they didn't have somebody come down the wells and save them. Perhaps because they died on the fall? Well, it still doesn't make sense to leave the corpses because their dead bodies would have poisoned the well. On the other hand, if the deposition of corpses was deliberate, then they could have been left in the well for 5 or more years before using the well. In that time the body would have rotten and the well made usable. So overall I don't think the kids' skeletons were at the bottoms of wells because they fell in.

> If human sacrifice was carried out at all, which is far from certain,

I hope I have successfully shown it's either certain or near-certain human sacrifice was practiced.

> Abraham is commanded to murder his son and bows down to power (a god) ready to do murder.

As one should, when confronted with Master of Life and Death. After all, why do people die? We could be like gods, just living on and on. Why die? Well, because God creator of heaven and earth decided we would die. He also decided on the time and manner of our death. Is it not his, then, to decide some people would die innocent, from human hand? We know he decides some innocent are to die from wolves or bears. What's so different in a bear fulfilling God-ordained flow of his life and killing a human to a human fulfilling his own God-ordained flow of his life and killing a human?

Obviously at this point, you've blown a gasket. Hey, that I can tolerate such things and you can't just proves I have a greater freedom of movement than you. My religion makes me free. It's freedom you covet, isn't it?

As for rape, I can't remember a time God endorsed it. I did a search on the Internet but I can't really find something clear. Perhaps 2 Samuel 12:11 ? That's directed against king David who had many concubines. Clearly concubinage doesn't count as marriage so the option of God taking concubines from the king and giving them over to others (as wives, presumably) is not evil.

As for slavery I again can't remember a time God endorsed it although I can remember plenty of times God tolerated it. He even had advice regarding handling of slaves, as in Ben Sirach. It makes sense he'd issue rules on handling of slaves. If the evil can't be rooted out right away, it'll suffice to constrain it so it doesn't spread. Ignoring for a second the question of natural slaves, people who's natural right order is to be slaves. Hey, this is a right-wing substack! We can ask those questions!

As for murder I already explained the basic premise. God is the ultimate master of life and death. All know this none dispute it. He issued a number of laws that protect people from before conception to their natural nonviolent death. That he also singled out some people for premature and violent death in no way changes the basic calculus: he decides when we die. And death isn't eternal anyway, not the bodily one.

Again remembering the entire business with Isaac was to undermine human sacrifice, set God apart and show Abram as a man trusting in God.

For the record, I believe demons exist, and the idea that they're orchestrating the events that have led us to this point in time seems plausible, if not downright probable.

But I'll propose a counter-argument (perhaps I can't completely abandon my Enlightenment sensibilities): what if we're conjuring demons because we just can't believe that our fellow man can be that evil on his own? I ask partly as a thought expwriment, but also because the practicalities of demon-slaying require a somewhat clear picture of the adversary.

It's less we are conjuring them & more we are 'intuiting' their presence.

We have within us intuitions about ethics, math & common sense. The Demon 'conjuring' I would argue... is simply another normal, healthy human intuition (for which I would be willing even to write a separate essay to examine the Cognitive Science literature on).

So yes, to answer your question... Our fellow Man CAN be very evil; but not to the point where you need such millennia old foundations & planning. & there is nothing wrong with appealing to one's Innate Intuitions to highlight this matter.

This is a good point you made that many will not wish to notice. I've come across it already a number of times. In the early days of the plandemic when I tried to show a friend some official data which opposed the official narrative, she said, "I don't want to see it." She was jabbed, of course. It was also interesting to hear a few people say to me that I had what you call 'ostrich head syndrome' for not complying to the narrative. Such is the power of the hypnotic spell.

But as we are dealing with the supernatural, the hidden, should not your call to arms be also in the hidden realms? Evil thrives in darkness, in the shadows, where deception is possible. Aren't the weapons we need light, truth, love? Evil cannot withstand such frequencies. It requires the lower vibrations of hate and vengeance. When our words and actions are imbued with love and the light of truth, darkness is dispelled, or dis-spelled. The spell is broken.

Just look at the efforts to physically block out the sun, the light, the life-giver. We are dealing with vampires, the undead, who want to turn us into mechanical husks, as you say, and suck our lifeblood - as they already have been doing. The light of truth is their greatest fear.

Exactly the point of my question. I'm not prepared to say what energies or entities might not exist. Perhaps demons or djinn (same thing, I presume) are real. Perhaps also gods, ghosts and goblins. Say they all exist. Just what then makes them supernatural? If they're in the world, and can affect it, and can (at least sometimes) be perceived, then on what basis do we classify these beings as entirely distinct from other things we find in the world, like amoebae, quasars or pine cones? Why do we dichotomize reality into natural and supernatural spheres? As far as I can tell, it's just a cultural habit.

Expand full comment

The way I conceive of the definition is as "supercedes" or "precedes" nature. But, as John notes, this depends highly on our definition of nature. My own definition waffles, but I've come to think of it as "that for which the rules are highly testable and predictable to the naked eye/mind".

Then quanta, if I understand them, can be classified as "supernatural." So too were once atoms and black holes and other now widely accepted phenomena.

The Islamic notion of the Djinn is that they can 'see us, but we cannot see them.'

So our world of size & shape (i.e., the material, 'natural' world) is accessible to them directly; but the converse (a la us accessing their realm) is not as easy.

That at least, is the Muslim's understanding of the Unseen/'Supernatural' realm.

This is a most excellent question! If we suppose all nature is grounded in logic (if you let a ball go, it falls) and if we further suppose spirits are also grounded in logic (if not, why haven't they already devoured each other until only one is left standing?), then clearly they have to be of the same kind: logical.
