ANGELOLOGY M. M. NINAN _____________________________________________________________________________ As such there was not a single culture which questioned the reality of these beings. There had been attempts to explain them. book of Enoch. One such explanation within Judaism is found in the 1 Enoch 15 "But now the giants who are born from the (union of) the spirits and the flesh shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, because their dwelling shall be upon the earth and inside the earth. Evil spirits have come out of their bodies. Because from the day that they were created from the holy ones they became the Watchers; their first origin is the spiritual foundation. They will become evil upon the earth and shall be called evil spirits. The dwelling of the spiritual beings of heaven is heaven; but the dwelling of the spirits of the earth, which are born upon the earth, is in the earth. The spirits of the giants oppress each other, they will corrupt, fall, be excited, and fall upon the earth, and cause sorrow. They eat no food, nor become thirsty, nor find obstacles. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of the people and against the women, because they have proceeded forth (from them). – 1 Enoch 19:1 "Here shall stand in many different appearances the spirits of the angels which have united themselves with women. They have defiled the people and will lead them into error so that they will offer sacrifices to the demons as unto gods, until the great day of judgment in which they shall be judged till they are finished." – Traditionally all cultures had many different types of spirits with varying properties. Every culture assigns the spirit of the dead who have been for some reason not given the rest as forced to roam the earth till such release. This idea is referred to by Josephus. Since we have several types of the invisible beings we should expect that they also originated differently. They are all different forms of life existing in our midst with different levels and dimensions. So we should expect an infinite number of spirit beings coexisting with us all around. We come to know their characteristics only as we interact with them. Most cultures have names like these in common parlance - Poltergeists, earth spirits, land spirits, River Spirits, animal energies, elementals, fairies, divas and goblins 221
ANGELOLOGY M. M. NINAN _____________________________________________________________________________ Here are some of the names found in India as presented by the Spiritual Research Foundation :The Common Ghost (Bhoot), Demons (Raakshas and Asur), Black serpent (Kaalaa Naag), Female goblin (Hadal), Jaakhin, Witch (Chetkin), Spirit (Pishaach). (http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/) The Christian idea is that these spirits interact in two ways: 1. obsession by influence from outside 2. possession by taking over the parts of body. Demonic possession have sometimes ascribed to those associated with mental illnesses such as psychosis, hysteria, mania, Tourette's syndrome, epilepsy, schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder. Descriptions of demonic possessions in the bible include: forgeting the past or change of the personality and convulsions, fits and fainting (epilepsy symptoms) 222
