~70 million Americans take psych drugs. For most, these are taken for the rest of their lives. The demons don't mind masking symptoms, getting a free ride. The drug profits feed other demons. Screwtape and Wormwood shout for joy.
As a student of both the occult and occulted politics I appreciate the Christians ability to see the hands of non-human intelligence on world affairs. Only with this insight is it possible to make sense of events.
However I find it somewhat simplistic to see non-corporeal intelligences as only composed of Angelic or Demonic beings. Angels being very large beings, close to God, performing important functions in maintenance of creation. Demons, at their worst, are predatory, human misery is their sustenance. But also some them are more ambiguous, like those fallen angles that taught certain technologies to humans, that have both the power to heal and to destroy.
To understand the non-corporeal world, I like the metaphor of Bacteria. There are trillions of them, of untold different forms, fulfilling untold different functions. Some are indifferent and unrelated to humanity. Some extremely dangerous to humans in the wrong conditions. Some essential, such as the gut microbiome. And yes, also some are engaged in what appears to be an epic battle of Good vs Evil. For the future of Humanity. The Evil ones will eventually lose, because they are anti-life, against natural law and the will of God. Life will always prevail, such is creation.
Naomi Wolff also writes about the return of the demonic into the West. The article is long, but the photographs at the end are very supportive of her thesis.
I agree with Wolfe on the basic premise, but the downward spiral, I'm afraid, began long before 2020. Read the history of the West, and consider the almost-constant stream of reform movements that operated across the West, reshaping the major institutions, again and again.
On one hand, the reforms seemed to improve the institutions and therefore society and culture was improved; on the other hand, the reforms re-made those institutions so that they were less traditional and more innovative, less divinely appointed and more man appointed.
There were some reforms that were particularly harmful. For instance, the innovation to basic Church dogma regarding the nature of God that brought division within the House of God between the Western Church and the Eastern Church (the Great Schism of 1054). Then there is the division within the Western Church between Rome and the Protestants; it was another devastating blow from which we have never fully recovered -- which resulted in endless divisions within Protestantism. Finally, there were the political-military reform movements that began in the mid-1600s, and have continued ever since: the British Civil Wars, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the American Civil War, the 1848 Revolutions, the Russian Revolution, the Maoist Revolution, the Fascist Revolutions, etc.
The West has been on a destructive, iconoclastic, revolutionary trajectory for a long, long time - at least a millenium.
And the solution is still the same: Jesus Christ the Lord.
I think you are partly right. So many Christian Zionists believe in Jesus Christ, yet I am sure Christ would be appalled by their support for Israel’s genocide.
Perhaps the solution is in Jesus’ teaching: “I am the way”. We need not to so much as to “believe” in him as to try to “Be” like him - to live lessons he taught and to try to follow the life he lead.
‘Christian-zionism’ is an oxymoron, as is ‘judeo-christian’. Jesus brought a new covenant and a new law that raised and perfected the old - love one another is the whole of the law under Jesus. The law was made for us, not us for the law as is assumed by talmudists/torahists today (it’s in the same spirit as ‘it’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you, but what comes out’). Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life - zionism and judaism are relics - mere ideologies.
You would think or not, such well written and beautifully clear prose would get vast recognition! She is still compelling and, it seems, unheeded! It’s getting worse!
I don't know , the demonic being may give in everytime , but the The free will is characteristic of the human being created by God. Evil has many forms and the AFN / ambition to be gods controlling others is in human condition. There is a crisis of values, disbelief and relativism
.. Without God man cannot exist, he would not have a soul and would not be more than an autmata
Respetado Alejandro: soy un librepensador post católico romano, religión de mis padres. Es mucho considerarme un Cristiano, es decir, aspiro a serlo, pues el mensaje que extraigo de entre todo lo que se le atribuye a Yēšūa de Nazaret, es el del Amor universal, para mí la más grande fuerza existente. Ningún otro Avatar en la historia conocida es tan claro al respecto. Quizá Zarathustra. Concuerdo en que la existencia del hombre confirma la del Creador -cualquiera sea el nombre que se use para ello- y que hay creaturas con razón y sentimiento, distintas de los humanos, que influyen enormemente en nuestro devenir personal y colectivo. Tengo la acendrada sensación y presentimiento -desde que era un niño- de que estaré presente cuando el Gran Misterio sea resuelto, cuando el Padre decida Su reinicio para nuestra humanidad.
We are “the hands and feet” that exist to serve our Creator. To reflect the Truth, the Light and the Way so that others who are lost may find their way home. It is why we are here. Or have you forgotten? To know and not to do is not to know. Faith without works is dead.
To be precise, in the context of Islam, there's another kind of rational beings, with free will (which angels don't have, while both share individual conscience and the ability of learning and increasing spiritually) and more ancient than men: the jinn.
It's the genies of many Western traditions and they are also well known in the world of shamanism.
There are of course, due to their free will and individual rationality good and bad ones, believing and unbelieving, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, any religion, atheist and terrorist ones, just like us.
Satan is from their breed, not a "fallen angel", but the confusion stems from his having been among angels and with such a high rank of knowledge that he was their instructor, before the creation of Adam.
He failed the test when the Lord ordered the angels to prostrate to Adam, whose loins carried the seeds of all prophets and notably, the Last Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and all of them, so Adam carried their lights, but satan's arrogance made him blind to this fact and his jealousy pushed him to disobey the Lord's command, being then cast out and cursed - all of this by the divine wisdom to establish the basic dualism of earthly life, this "Divine Comedy" we're going thru as long as we breath oxygen, the test of life (and death).
Just to resume: for Muslims (and Islam has a very rational and "scientific" approach to its theology) demons are demons, energetic beings (while angels are created from divine light) who are structured very similar to humans but live much longer and together with us on Earth (and beneath), being different races, and yes: responsible for most of today's mischief.
But don't forget: human devils can be as evil as non-human.

"That Hideous Strength", by C.S. Lewis (1945), describes an England wherein the ruling class has been taken over by Demons. Their goal is to eradicate all organic life. Compare that with the modern day "Liberals & globalists"- their war is against Carbon (the building block of organic life) and Carbon Dioxide (which plants need to live).
I have no doubt that we are seeing demonic possession on a large scale. Which is really sad, because all one has to do is RESIST, and they will flee. But money and power are their gods.
Also! C.S. Lewis is clear that different cultures have their own "spirit" - and that is a fine thing. Russia should be Russia, not be like England or the United States.

Dugin is correct in all this. We ignore the demonic aspect of modernity to our peril.

Her article is important reading. Came out a while back but is becoming increasingly more revelatory.

Politics isn’t just politics, its a battle of good vs evil, spiritual warfare. Unfortunately, relatively few people realize this.
Politics is what we say, religion is what we believe, economics is what we do.
Excellent , thank you.

Fallen angels vs demons. What is the difference between the two?
In Christian Theology, no difference.
Perhaps consider learning to read.
Hi ron!!
Try to refrain from being crude and boring.
1) Nicht alle Dämonen sind böse.
2) Integration ist eine kluge Form der Konfliktbewältigung.
3) Um was geht es eigentlich? der Westen ist doof der Osten ist gut. Wir waren schon mal weiter.
y) Ich wünsche uns ein kluges Miteinander.
Oh please!

There is only entropy, those that seek to accelerate it are demons and those that battle for life, its opposite, are angels.
