Yes.
I think its possible AND the living ARE affected.
Yes.
Yes, if you truly need it.
Im exempt from that question
Because its not up to the Angels to do somthing that I capable of.
I truly beleive.
Yes.
"Come and See"
So I looked, and behold a dark angel.  And the name of him was Life, and Hell fell before him.
And power was given to him over the whole of the earth, to clense with mind, with sword, with light and by the love of the earth.

Do you think Angels, Demons, Spirits, Ghosts, or Negs exist?

Yes.. I know that angels, demons, spirits, ghosts and negs exist; why? because angels have protected me; I'm sure if there there are angels there has to be demons; my friends have had tons of experiences with ghosts, I see spirits.. ALL THE TIME, my friend has had numerous experiences with ghosts.. and 4 negs are trying to bring me down a dark path... *see my shadow people thread*

Do you think it's possible but the living are not affected?

What do you mean? Everything is connected; of course everything is affected by each other.

Does your religion tell you the above exist? Do you believe them?

I believe in a religion that I made up which is basically a mix of religion plus my own beliefs. And yes. I do believe them and my "religion" says that they exist

Do you believe calling upon a higher power can help you?

Depends.

If you believe in Angels & not Devils/Negs, how can there be one without the other?

Simple. There CAN'T be one without the other. There has to be balance. Light cannot exist without dark; dark cannot exist without light.

If you believe in Negs, then why not call upon Angels to help you?

Duh I believe in Negs; these Shadows are driving me insane... and I have called upon Angels to help; but its not much of a help I guess... more of a temporary thing... but I think that someday they will pull through...

Are you truly in belief or are you just open to the possibility?

I think you can figure that out with what I have just said.

Have you ever experienced psychic phenomena in physical life like poltergeists?

Shadows and a shadow master; spirits, ghost *my cat came to visit me... lord I miss her so much..*,  etc... head on experiences.

well hope datz enough for ya  :roll:

Silent Shadow
May the force be with you. Always

Wow, lotsa questions Runlola! Good ones too.

These answers are purely from my own experiences, and common experiences I have shared with many close friends in my circle of psychic friends and acquaintances. Please feel free to take or leave then as you wish.

"Do you think Angels, Demons, Spirits, Ghosts, or Negs exist?"
In the case of angels, spirits & ghosts, I don't just think they exist, I know they exist. I've encountered them too many times to say otherwise.
Demons and negs, well, I've never encountered a demon so I couldn't say, and most negs I've encountered have been the manifestations of people's negative emotions, and not actually an individual entitiy.

"Do you think it's possible but the living are not affected?"
I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but if you're asking are we physical beings affected by spirits, I would say yes, in very gentle, subtle ways that most often go unnoticed.

"Does your religion tell you the above exist? Do you believe them?"I don't have any religious affiliation. I'm what you might call an "independent" spiritualist.
Most religions speak of angels, and there are some common threads of truth amongst most old religious texts, but the ideas of these beings have been largely coloured by human concepts, or more to the point, misconceptions.

"Do you believe calling upon a higher power can help you?"
For guidance, info and protection, yes. To do something for me or make some problem go away, no. We don't learn by getting others to do things for us.

"If you believe in Angels & not Devils/Negs, how can there be one without the other?"
Not sure. I've experienced angels plenty of times, and I've experienced negative energies in others. I can't honestly say I've encountered a being that could be called a demon. Do both have to exist? As to "The" devil, for me that's just a human construct to support fear based religions.

"If you believe in Negs, then why not call upon Angels to help you?"Indeed why not?
The whole idea of angels going into battle against the enemies of mankind is just a bit too much religious dogma for me to cope with, but what I do know of the presence of angels is that their energies can be so intense, any "neg" wouldn't want to be hanging around. Even though that idea is just supposition, I do have "protectors" around me - beings that I know have helped me out.

This can be from something as subtle as a voice saying "are you sure your front door is locked?" to having an out of control car flying towards me at an intersection seem to get suddenly "bumped" out of harms way.

"Are you truly in belief or are you just open to the possibility?"
Again, the encounters I've had with angelic and other spirit beings (you can tell the difference by their energies), takes me beyond the point of believing, and firmly plants me in the area of knowing.

"Have you ever experienced psychic phenomena in physical life like poltergeists?"
I've had things moved around on me by spirits. Though some very close and trusted friends of mine have experienced poltergeists (more than one witnessing the same thing at the same time), I have not.
Where I have been told about the activities of poltergeists, the accounts have all followed a similar pattern – person or people die – their earthbound spirits have not yet crossed over into the "afterlife", they're confused, frustrated or annoyed, so they let people know of their frustration.

Usually all it takes is someone who can see or at least speak with them to help them understand that they have actually died (some genuinely don't know this – they think they're stuck in some strange dream), that they no longer need to be earth bound, and they can move on.

There you go. Hope that helps.

Blessings,
James.

Hi, me again,

I have no actual experience here, but I have some thoughts picked up from others who have had experience.

"Do you think people can become possessed?"
I doubt unwilling possessions can occur. I believe in this world that we are too strong to allow any spirit to have control over us if we don't want them to. After all, this is our turf!

I did read some comments by Ted Andrews in one of his books that he's been called out to many places where someone's reported to have been possessed, but he sad he's yet to find someone that actually has.

When trance channeling, you do mentally step aside and let a spirit come in and make use of your physical body, but anyone who does this without being absolutely sure of what kind of spirit is trying to come through is in for a mess of trouble. Even under those circumstances, you can still boot the spirit back out. The ties your soul has with your own body are too strong to be severed.

"If so, do you think it's obvious like in the movies?"
As far as the movies go, well, never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Might make for a good reality TV show though! Get a bunch of willing (stupid) people together, find a bunch of nasty spirits, stick them all together in a big house for some time and the one that actually comes out alive is the winner.  :)

"Do you think Exorcisms are real? "
I think the people who have tried performing them think they're real. Usually though, such people have been religious zealots, so it's kind of hard to comment on their reasoning abilities.
A few hundred years ago it was thought that you could release a demon from someone by drilling a hole in their head. They probably figured it worked because no-one who'd had this treatment complained afterwards about still being possessed.

:twisted:

This might get confusing, but I'll answer anyway...


Do you think Angels, Demons, Spirits, Ghosts, or Negs exist?
Yes

Do you think it's possible but the living are not affected?
Yes and No... possible, and the living would be affected but mostly through thought patterns

Does your religion tell you the above exist? Do you believe them?
Does not apply, I don't have a specific religion.

Do you believe calling upon a higher power can help you?
Yep. That doesn't mean that a higher power has to exist though.

If you believe in Angels & not Devils/Negs, how can there be one without the other?
I believe in both, but the existance of one would not automatically make the other exist just because it seems reasonable.

If you believe in Negs, then why not call upon Angels to help you?
I like to solve my own problems without interference, I learn better that way (takes longer but once I learn it I learn it better). The question also assumes that I don't do that - which I actually may be doing.

Are you truly in belief or are you just open to the possibility?
Both

Have you ever experienced psychic phenomena in physical life like poltergeists?
Nothing that I can prove, might have been other stuff going on.

Do you think people can become possessed?
Probably

If so, do you think it's obvious like in the movies?
I've actually not really seen any movie with possession involved so far

Do you think Exorcisms are real?
Probably

MiddleWay

1.) Do you think Angels, Demons, Spirits, Ghosts, or Negs exist?

Yes, Yes, Yes, Not exactly, and Yes. I believe that the personality of a person's previous earthly existence could persevere after the Being has departed, but I do not believe that actual Beings stick around in an ethereal shell.

2.) Do you think it's possible but the living are not affected?

Possible? Yes. Probable? Unlikely. In reality as I understand it? No

3.) Does your religion tell you the above exist? Do you believe them?

I have no orthodox set of beliefs.

4.) Do you believe calling upon a higher power can help you?

If the higher power helps you, yes:)

5.) If you believe in Angels & not Devils/Negs, how can there be one without the other?

I believe in the existence of both. An angel is an angel, just like a demon is a demon. If all demons ceased to exist there would still be those beings I refer to as angels and visa verse. Furthermore, a deva is to an Angel is to an Archangel is to a Watcher; as a human is to a Master is to a Divinity is to a Demon. As I understand reality, angels and demons are not of the same "species".

6.) If you believe in Negs, then why not call upon Angels to help you?

Never needed help.

7.) Are you truly in belief or are you just open to the possibility?

Belief is nothing more than being open to the possibility. That is why you believe and not know.

8.) Have you ever experienced psychic phenomena in physical life like poltergeists?

No poltergeists, but I have been attacked by negs in the astral.
