I stick to the idea of Descartes: The spiritual world is inside our brain, but unfortunately sometimes I reduce my spiritual world by watching TV.

God is a state of mind, and of matter. That is the message.

I'll bet Joe Biden used to watch Descarte on TV...did he come on right after the FDR show?;-)

Just a first hand testimony, ... that only works when one is not placed in a fist'ocuffs with the spirit on his terms. I once was grabbed and nearly had my head smashed on concrete by one, and I thought a buddy was messing with me, only to carry on and then fall back in faith in Christ, when it immediately departed. I don;t have all the answers, but by remaining in faith in Christ, I also know I have my hands full in this domain and only spiritually through faith in Him.

The calss of fallen angels aren't simply ideas in our heads, but they can place ideas in our heads, doctrinally called demonic influence. The next stage of actually controlling the thinking and control of a human body, regardless our volition, is demonic possession.

I can’t resist this story: Rene Descartes walks into a bar and orders a double scotch and downs it. The bartender says “would you care for another?” Descartes says “I think not”. And disappears.
