Does the dark work with the light? Are ghosts just masquerading demons?

This first one is a question I posed on the last podcast. The concept of the yin/yang suggests a wee bit perhaps. Note the dot of light in the dark and vice versa...


But the better articulated question is, are things that are called dark really just misunderstood/demonized sometimes? I think so...

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, all gentile gods (pagan gods) are Demons, and for once they are correct. But the pagan Gods were all known to guide and assist their people in magical workings; never were they considered "evil" until Christianity took place.

A somewhat related line of research indicates the God's of the Greek pantheon are indeed mentioned in the bible. Some condemned by the creator as demons, others still being in service...


A dogmatic Christian criticism of the podcast posited that we were only dealing with demons in our paranormal investigating. Sorry, I don't do Dogma unless it's the movie. Goat herders 2,000 years ago did not have it all figured out and I believe our relationship with God is a personal one. I do do gnostic, esoteric, Buddhist Christianity though. Please Jesus relieve me of my sins as your fellow monks help others burn off karma sometimes! I'm a big fan of the ultimate death debunker...

But of course the Bible acknowledges the existence of human ghosts/spirits, it simply warns us of trickster spirits and the Devil masquerading as an angel of light...

When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. Matthew 14:26 (NASB) The disciples are in a boat on the Sea of Galilee at night and Jesus is walking on the water. The disciples think they are seeing a ghost. The Greek word that the NASB translates as “ghost” is phantasma. It has the meaning of “an apparition, ghost, an appearance.” Now this does not prove that ghosts are real. But does prove the disciples believed in ghosts or spirits.

But this begs the question, if the Devil can dress up as the opposite cannot the reverse be true? Does a good Angel ever play a devil to wake somebody up to bigger spiritual realities?

Furthermore, does an angel of light ever manipulate the opposite into doing its good works?

Or does an seemingly evil entity ever work with its purported antithesis in some specific cases, in so far as the end result sought is the same? In such a case, the means would still be wholly different and just temporarily  tolerated by the good beings. Presumably, such extreme measures would only apply to such cases where all might be lost otherwise for the hapless soul in question. A spiritual version of a "scared straight" type of scenario if you will, where the demons are allowed to have a little unabiding and even aided, devious fun, if it gets the job done?

Some contend, that something larger in scope, but still akin to this has always been in motion. To put it succulently, evil knows its ultimate defeated fate it can not escape, but it tries nonetheless and at minimum enjoys putting godly goodness to the ultimate test...

Heather Vanatta from Tennessee puts it thusly..

"Positive and negative have always work together. Lucifer was God's number one angel and wanted to be God. Being the opposite of God he was given his own place in the world so people could see Good and Evil, positive and negative."

Also, benign intelligent hauntings offer evidence of human spirit survival capable of interacting on Earth in droves and many times engage in, very undemonic heroic behavior...

Deathbed visions/shared death experiences also offer solid spirit realm interaction in the material world and most importantly, what can only be characterized as Heaven sent solace to those individuals close to the newly and dearly departed.

Perhaps most impressive and relevant, however, are disembodied voices captured on audio, known as EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) which have been scientifically voice matched to deceased humans and often convey messages of only (many times deeply personal and otherwise strictly confidential) comforting information to their still living loved ones, providing much needed closure. Again, it strains credulity to perceive any demonic cruelty somehow spinning an wicked web of deceit within such proof. If so, such manipulative and dark motives have not revealed themselves in any noteworthy way.

It is worthy of note though, that The Freemasons pervert the idea of the dark and the light having a relationship in order to justify evil doings...
