alright so, it is time. this is going to be a long, winding, rambling thread. i posted yesterday about demons existing and this interesecting with the world of psychedelia. ive posted about this in the past a little and there is always a huge response, people are very into it.

The fascinating thing about this thread is how much it both resonates and clashes with my own experiences of psychedelics.
Met a LOT of demons, including one deeply disturbing encounter with Jimmy Savile, and at least one angel, distinguishable by its total commitment to Good.

I don't think I believed fully in Good or Evil as metaphysical concepts until those experiences pulled me over the edge.
Still, I know of some dealers in the completely amoral version as well. Interesting contrast.

I spent a while thinking I knew what absolute Good was, but after getting bitten in the ass by it enough times I decided there are too many exceptions for the concept to be useful. now I just try to do the most good I can in the current context, which doesn't always look the same

Oh, but I don't mean absolute good.
I mean that there is a prevailing interest in making things good/better, whatever that means at the time.
The most common manifestation is cleaning whatever is dirty in the vicinity, ridiculous as that might sound. Soap and rags and water.

But when you contrast this with things that seem to enjoy nothing so much as inflicting misery and suffering, there's a pretty clear dichotomy developing.

oh yeah for sure. but I've had some TERRIFYING run-ins with angels who thought they knew what was best for me. you can't always trust demons but they tend to be way easier to negotiate with

For me it's just the one angel, but given the intensity of its personality I could easily see how a different one might be rather scary. This one is all sass and smiles.
But again, there is the odd feeling... almost of kinship? It feels very different than some abstract being.
It always has this sense like something far off is trying to tune in to my specific frequency, for lack of better word.
Its coming is heralded by this weird sort of noise like you'd hear on some fancy radio equipment calibrating a signal.
