Angels, Demons & Exorcisms.

This is my opinion, feel free to disregard.

I think that Angel and Demon are two faces of the same being.

When one is a friend, the said being assumes Angel face - protects, helps, etc...
When one is enemy, the said being assumes Demonic face that tempts, does harm, etc...

What about exorcisms?

I think that when one is exorcised, the haunting demons and helpful angels are replaced by angels/demons that hold sway over the exorcist.

In a way, exorcism can be viewed not as purging evil haunting someone, but as 'stealing control' over someone - after unpleasant, nervous struggle between angels and demons within exorcised someone's psyche.

This inner struggle might last for short, long or sometimes for the very long time.

/ word 'Psyche' means: 'Mind-Soul' /.

Oh, so Wonderful World …

This article is about abuses of supernatural powers. The title is a short form of a phrase:

'Oh, so Wonderful World ... Miracles happen, but beings suffer'.
/ pl: 'Jest przecudnie ... Cuda się zdarzają, a istoty cierpią'. /


It's not only about targetting someone with harmful power, but also about of how it is done.

I've experienced this in my mind. Thoughts appeared that someone prayed to his/her god, so unbelievers make miracle for his/her wealth. At their own costs, time, money, effort, risk, etc.

I did have a short talk with the praying one in my mind ... he/she didn't consider coming to agreement nor rewarding me, argumenting that he/she is entitled for using unbelievers because he/she keeps going to the church often.

Is it fair?

... I think not.

This was only example, it happens in any of religions, or so I think at least.

Every religion has better and worse people.

... Is Buddhism religion?

While by Buddha Karmapa 17th (Trinley Thaye Dorje) words: 'Buddhism is not religion, it's like science', we still have religious lessons, or so I think.

Did I have to obey? Faith and prayers have great power, and I was weak still. I felt forced to do my practices, to do wishes and magick, to make this 'miracle' happen.

... How Rude. :(

By my experience, the prayers for magick happen most often before Christmas, but also before Easter. Before Easter, people seem gentler and nicer, however. Maybe being unnice before and during Easter has more of unwanted consequences.

About witch-hunting and about the 'Burning Times'.

I've watched a film in the internet, where this topic (of burning times, of witch-hunts) was explored.

Perhaps many would disagree, but not all of killed people were witches, yet they were called such during the trials.

Conclusion of this film was that term 'Witch' was used to accuse individuals unwelcomed by land-rulers.


'So... this guy is problematic and needs to be killed. We have no law reason to do so? Let's just call him/her a Witch'.


While there were people who truly hated witchcraft, many were tolerant... as the wise women were good at herbalism and at healing common peasants. Landowners tended to ignore them, as they were useful - not only because peasant morale-raising practices.

During the 'Burning Times', real Witches were a minority among people accused of Witchcraft and killed because of that reason.


Also, i think that term: 'Witch' was used in Sectarian Wars, between Catholics, Protestants and Lutherans, probably Calvinists as well.

(by definition, Sect is movement of religious protest).
