"In some cases, Demons may have been mental illness, if this plane of existence is void of parallel dimension interaction."

Ah yes. In those times I imagine all sorts of personality disorders were just blamed on demons. I'm also interested in seeing if some of these demons were created or inspired because of any disorders.

Demon..hmm...Is this a subliminal plea for Thrill Kill to come back?

I was always fascinated with the names and likenesses of demons. What their specific attributes were and how they went about their tasks. Mostly the illustration of demons is what intrigues me the most, they're portrayed in various forms but all seem to invoke a deep, uneasy sense of fear inside me. One that made me very curious about them, even though at one point I was heavily religious and even considered becoming a man of god.

This has what to do with demons?

In some cases, Demons may have been mental illness, if this plane of existence is void of parallel dimension interaction.

In other cases, Demons may have been very powerful people who ruled the working class. Cannibals.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith

The Hebrew term Lilith or "Lilit" (translated as "night creatures", "night monster", "night hag", or "screech owl") first occurs in Isaiah 34:14, either singular or plural according to variations in the earliest manuscripts, though in a list of animals. In the Dead Sea Scrolls Songs of the Sage the term first occurs in a list of monsters. In Jewish magical inscriptions on bowls and amulets from the 6th century CE onwards, Lilith is identified as a female demon and the first visual depictions appear.

 

Vampires are mentioned in this specific translation of the Bible.

Later translations include:

night-owl (Young, 1898)
night-spectre (Rotherham, Emphasized Bible, 1902)
night monster (ASV, 1901; JPS 1917, Good News Translation, 1992; NASB, 1995)
vampires (Moffatt Translation, 1922)
night hag (RSV, 1947)
Lilith (Jerusalem Bible, 1966)
lilith (New American Bible, 1970)
Lilith (NRSV, 1989)
Lilith (The Message (Bible), Peterson, 1993)
night creature (NIV, 1978; NKJV, 1982; NLT, 1996, TNIV)
nightjar (New World Translation, 1984)
night bird (English Standard Version, 2001)

 

There is a "God" which is a faith as God never reveals themselves to the common man.

There is a Lord, which is what traditionally we call a ruler of people.

 

Perhaps sometimes Lords summoned the power of satan or primal energies?

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali

It's a modern artists rendition.

Kālī (/ˈkɑːli/; Sanskrit: काली, IPA: [kɑːliː]), also known as Kālikā (Sanskrit: कालिका), is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment, shakti. She is the fierce aspect of the goddess Durga (Parvati).[1] The name Kali comes from kāla, which means black, time, death, lord of death: Shiva. Since Shiva is called Kāla— the eternal time — the name of Kālī, his consort, also means "Time" or "Death" (as in "time has come").

Speaking of religion, i'm attending a stupid wedding on Saturday... family expects me to act and dress accordingly. 

I'm an atheist, but I align myself with Jewish culture...

Demons are considered apart of religious study, so within my mind I found a relation between my event related to religion and the discussion of religion. Just contributing.

"In some cases, Demons may have been mental illness, if this plane of existence is void of parallel dimension interaction."

Ah yes. In those times I imagine all sorts of personality disorders were just blamed on demons. I'm also interested in seeing if some of these demons were created or inspired because of any disorders.

Naw, I know from experience where the large misconceptions are.

The succubus and incubus are clearly manifestations of the mind.

In our world, no matter what, those are seen as mental illnesses. The shadow people, you name it.

However, you can't rule out the possibility of some type of extra dimensional interaction.

 

What I'm thinking, is there are two giant fluid sacks in the brain. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

 

Was reading that the contents are largely filled with non-essential amino acids. All the amino acids our body produces and refines from other proteins and stuff, as opposed to the essential amino acids which our body does not produce.

 

Anyways, there it is. Two giant fluid filled sacks in the brain. (BTW, when those are enlarged it is a signal of schitzoprenia)

 

 

 

What if we cannot figure out how the brain works, because the water sacks in our brain are somehow receptors into another dimension?

We evolved from water, so, what if intelligence somehow exists in water?

 

 

Clearly those who are mentally ill experience these interactions with other dimensions. Sure, it could be a malfunction of the brain which is the obvious answer, however, seeing as we cannot fully understand how the brain works in full, let alone the human consciousness, perhaps, seeing as they are totally reminiscent of something you might call a "receptor", as even our modern means to catch and transmit electromagnetic signals largely resemble devices which look as such.

That perhaps there is a connection to the spirut world, and the connection to the spirit world is what causes mental illness.

 

See. You can twist it around a little and accept both paradigms.

 

Oh wait a second, that is exactly what you said. Yeah, I totally see that. I don't know if I read your stance and forgot, or if I jumped the gun.

 

Whatever, yeah, I am agnostic.
