From my point of view:
There is objective morality that is not the same a subjective morality. The golden rule and karma is ideas that point to this logical objectivity that see all the connections on how an action propagate thru all souls in creation on all levels. Moral relativism is an illusion we tell our self to whitewash our own insane behavior.
Some souls can handle bad influence from the spiritual realms since they are steadfast and hard to corrupt due to their fearless nature. Knowledge and awareness makes you fearless of the dark Ones since they cannot influence those who do not allow themselves to be manipulated. If you know yourself and have increased awareness you can even logically look at emotional manipulation that is running rampant on this level of creation from both the other planes and this plane.
When you can logically understand emotional manipulation then you will understand why some trees (ideas) can never give of good fruits regardless, if the idea is from a spirit incarnated in a human body or a spirit somewhere else.
The problem for me is that some religions are subjective morality saying they are objective morality since they do not have the awareness to see the fruits of their ideas.
It does not matter if a person including me like or dislike homosexuality between consenting adults. It is still objectively moral when it is based on symbiosis(mutualism) of 2 spirits.
It does not matter if a person including me like or dislike hetrosexuality between consenting adults. It is still objectively moral when it is based on symbiosis(Mutualism) of 2 spirits.
It does not matter if you like or dislike power pyramids structures (feudalism/capitalism/fascism/theocracy/political socialism and communism). It is still objectively an abomination since it creates slaves and masters and is parasitical in nature.
And just to throw this out there. I've had encounters with negative and positive entities. I don't think people can avoid them. But certain things can rid you of "negative" entities. That's why I love living near the ocean. Salt water can bring on a release if a negative entity tries attaching itself to you.

It's fun to speculate
If these entities do exist, I'm not sure it's fair to give humanity any responsibility for anything we do. Wouldn't their existence make us glove puppets? If I go out and punch someone on the street, it's the demon's fault. If I say something nasty that ruins someone's day? Djinn/demons. When I go out and pay a compliment it's angels and likewise when I'm kind to people.
So at which point do we turn around and ask why those angels aren't working harder? Or ask why the demons have the ability to be dicks and make us act like dicks too? At which point do we take responsibility for our actions?
If you're curious by nature, have a look at things like attachment disorder and soft monkeys. This isn't an explanation for why humans act the way they do, it's a small aspect of the human condition that goes some way to explaining why some of us act the way we do some of the time. It's a less complicated way of interpreting deeds without populating our environment with hierarchies of good/evil entities.
...and I haven't dismissed your ideas.

I'm just adding what I know, 1 Enoch, an Apocryphal but relevant Jewish text has demons as the souls of the Nephilim who were killed in the deluge.
Angels are NOT the opposite of demons and vise versa. They are messengers who are used by God to either deliver a message or complete a specific task.
Elohim are the 72 chief spirits. At the top El Elyon and his consort Asherah. The Sons of God are 70 in number and each are responsible for a nation. Yahweh was originally one of the 70 but that's ancient history as Yahweh is none other than Baal.
The Igrigori are the watchers, some of whom were imprisoned for the whole Nephilim fiasco. They are supposed to just watch people, not mate with them.
Djinn are spirits with free will, unlike angels. I don't know much about them other than what's been said.
Hope that helps, Salaam!!

The desire to live by the sea could relate to the fact that there is a coastal based djinn in your host body or by your side.
Tell me, when you have a deep desire to walk a certain spot along a coast, does the word 'Completion' sum up the feeling of joy and tranquility that you feel ?
Shaytan class djinn that are coastal based are often seen as black cormorants. Inland they are viewed as crows and ravens.
Another word for them is Rapha (single) or The Rephaim (plural). Some of them in mortal form function as gate keepers for other djinn that pass from their homeland 'The Realm' to this world and vice versa.
Near the bottom of the page www.abovetopsecret.com... is shown what can happen when a mortal possessed with a jinn steps on a portal symbol.

Thank you for your reply.
I guess these are questions that have faced people for as long as we've had ideas in our head. The answers we've told ourselves have lit the way to where we are now and the ideas are, possibly, built in to our genome. Maybe a feature of sentience is a suspicion that demons/angels exist? Maybe we're supposed to surpass that stage and frame our answers like Dawkins and we're just biological robots? I don't know?!
Believe it or not, I get what you're saying and have moments when I wonder if there's any truth to the demon/angel thing? Some events in this world make me think WTF? The Rwandan conflict, that stuff Islamic State are doing, concentration camps etc. It's too much, right?

I'm not following the difference between the entities called Angels and the entities called Djinn. I've always assumed them to be a different name for the same beings. What was the argument there? Are Djinn fallen angels?

When they want me to pay attention they tap along my spine. Once the tapping traveled up my back and stopped on my right shoulder. At the time I had headphones on listening to something on Youtube. A friend I know had me watch it... he ended up at a mental hospital. As soon as I heard it and the tapping started I knew someone put subliminal messages embedded in the video. So which one was that. I think that one was an angel keeping me from harm.

Have you tried to get rid of yours? It could be residing in an object in your possession. A number of magikal folk try to bind djinn to objects. Essentially enslaving them. Someone could unknowingly have an item that is a possessed vessel and not even know it.
And I thought the Marid type were the ones associated with water.

Have you been to any energy epicenters?
I'm sure you have quite a few near you.
Do you have long or short hair? I'm just curious.
"As shown by it's importance in witch-charms and in the mutual exchange of talismans between lovers, hair was usually viewed as a repository of at least a part of the soul. "
Then a list of instances where hair was used -
*maidens dedicating locks to Hippolytus
*Egyptians burying locks of hair with deceased husbands
* Tantric sages declared that the binding and unbinding of women's hair activated cosmic forces of creation and destruction.
* same idea prevailed among prophetic priestesses or witches, who operated with unbound hair on the theory that their tresses could control the spirit world.
"St. Paul greatly feared the "angels" (spirits) that women could command by letting their hair flow loose. He insisted that women's heads must be covered "because of the angels" (1Corinnthians 11:10) Thus it became a Christian rule that women's heads must be covered in church, lest they draw demons into the building. Modern women wearing hats or head shawls to church unconsciously defer to this ancient superstition about their hair. " "The ancients insisted that women needed their hair to work magic spells; thus women deprived of their hair were harmless. For this reason Christian nuns and Jewish wives were compelled to shave their heads."
"Medieval Europe had innumerable superstitions based on the pagan significance of hair. Children's hair was left uncut for many years on the theory that their strength would be impaired if their hair was cut too soon. Gypsy witches advised the lovelorn to snip a lock of the beloved's hair secretly and wear it as a ring or locket. Whoever possessed another's hair had power over his soul. "

Rachel Edjeren is a Nigerian celebrity producer and actress who recently shared via her blog an experience with tonsured hair that has become subject for debate. Rachel claimed that the spirit of the owner of the human hair she put on her head chased her in the dream. She wrote: “My husband likes human hair. So even though I like my full dreadlocks kind of hairstyles, I give him what he likes most times. I have done Brazilian and Peruvian, so I thought to try something different and more natural… Indian. Last weekend, I ordered for it and made it. I prayed on it and believed it was fine. Yesterday night, I had the strangest of dreams. I saw that I made a hair that allowed me to pack it, thus project my face and make it look slimmer. All of a sudden, I got into a scam with 3 people who began to chase me all over the place to kill me. I got off from them narrowly then got into a market. There, a madman began to chase me.” To cut the long story short, Rachel said she narrated the dream to her husband, who asked her to remove it, even though she was reluctant because it cost so much. She cut it off, anointed her head and prayed. She also burnt it. According to her, “Carrying another’s hair is like carrying the person’s spirit.

Then by side observations I've noticed some people that were frequently visited by spirits had longer than average hair.
I was thinking the djinn don't adhere to the same spiritual attraction to hair as the other entities seem to be drawn to it.
I did have an encounter with a negative entity end when I literally chopped my hair right off. And it is the worst smell burning hair. uggh

Maybe long haired people are more spiritually minded, more relaxed.
The djinn are quite often bald with tattoos covering their scalp. Sacred geometry is everywhere including entities skin.
Did the burning hair smell like sulphur ?
