Oh? Well, I'm not "up there" yet. In any case, I suspect there are always further questions, even when one is "up there"...wise bird,they" all who have sat there tell us this.

Oh, I see... ;-) I think I'm getting the drift of it now, Suzy.

I see lots of people around here in regular life who are in hell. That is, they are in a state of mind that is hellish, and it's causing them (and sometimes others) to suffer. I'm somewhat skeptical about the metaphysical "Hell" that some people believe in, but I can't say I know for sure.

I was talking about demons and demonic possession, because I think it's an interesting subject, one that might have some factual basis. I've seen things that suggest it might, so I wouldn't just brush off the possibility.

You asked, "I thought that once you got up there, you would have definitive answers."

Oh? Well, I'm not "up there" yet. In any case, I suspect there are always further questions, even when one is "up there", although it might be possible to reach a point of simply being, in conscious union with all being, in which case questions might cease, at least for a time, and one might just BE. Questions, after all, arise out of a sense of separation or incompletion, don't they? One has no further questions when experiencing the absolute totality of Love.

But that remains to be seen.

Amos, you had me until Risus Lugosius. Mostly, Latin terms capitalize only the first word so it should have been Risus lugosius. I can see how viagra dispensers came to be called risologists but how Bela Lugosi got in there is beyond me.

:D Mwahahahaha is the tradtional spelling. Some modern belletrists have introduced the phonetically interesting "Bwahahaha" as a new interpretation of the pre-phonetic Evil Laugh (also know in the literature as Risus Lugosius) but this has not received general acceptance among reputable risologists.

Oh cut it out GfS, you know all of that is a myth. So far it's just really fucking hot! Too hot, as a matter of fact, to fight with people who see a troll around every corner. Besides, they love it when you smoke down here because it's one of the worst things you can do to yourself. They totally dig on anything like that.

Btw, have you seen Don or Bobie? Me neither. How do you like that? God really is a Democrat! Who knew?

GfS, I'm bored. Let's practice our evil laugh.

Little Hawk, good of you to write. But what's with all this speculation about the nature of demons? I thought that once you got up there, you would have definitive answers. Thanks for the pic btw. Nice wing span :-)

Suzy Sock Puppet: "You know GfS, the one thing I can appreciate about winding up down here is the fact that I don't have to search for my lighter in this goddamned purse!"

Ah!...But that's where you had it all wrong....did you forget where you wanted to take us all??...and you expect breaks??...Well, I've got news for ya'.....until you 'repent' you're lighter won't work, as hard as you may try to light it....NOO....what they have cooked up for you, is you will have to shave your head with a cheese grater, while chewing tin foil....and not only that, you will be seasick and have lock-jaw at the same time....with a massive prolonged case of the hiccups!
...Oh, and your lighter?.....all your cigarettes are eternally soggy..but you can relieve yourself from the hiccups, when you light it!

Well??..That's what you get!!!!!

Too prosaic for a thick demon like me.

I'm off to The Hell and Purgatory District Association of Pigeon Fanciers AGM later. Absynth and dripping butties at 8.00pm.



What's that? Hell is on the western side of the pond? Oh shit. Looks like string cheese from a spray can on baguel then. Pigeon fancying might take some explaining too. ...

I was simply talking about the concept of "demons" in a general sense, not referring in any way to Suzy...or to gnu.

It's "daemon" and in a multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.

init, dhcpd, crond, ftpd, fingerd, and sendmail are examples of daemons.

It might be. What people referred to in ancient times as a "demon" might better be referred to as a very negative thought form which takes a person over at times and causes them to behave in destructive ways. A modern therapist probably wouldn't call it a "demon", but might call it a "complex" or an "obsession" or some other current popular term that fits the modern prejudices and assumptions.

If a fit of anger takes a person over and causes them to do violence, then they have been possessed by something stronger than they know how to deal with at that time.

The only real question is, did it originate solely within that person's own consciousness or is it due to the influence of an outer agent in the form of a negative thought form that affects or enters the person? We have no way of being sure about that at this time. We only have our standard cultural prejudices, our standard prior assumptions, and our standard favorite terms to describe the situation. The terms change as the culture changes...but the problem of the afflicted person remains the same in its outward effects.

No one can say whether the "demon" is self-manufactured or not. We can only have rock-solid opinions based on our prior assumptions of what is "real" and what isn't...or admit that we don't know for sure...which would be a bit wiser, in my opinion.

I am telling you, this purse prepared me for our mutual fate.

Next time, I'm gettin a backpack.
