My ex wife had black hair with a white streak.
Should have been a warning.....

I think you missed his point...
Demon invokes a certain idea which also excludes many other concepts that apply to the word.
If you take it's etymology, meaning soul, no value added. Just a soul, or spirit to stay with your chosen denomination.
when does a spirit become malevolent? what moral codes do you use to determine malevolence?
You see how a word invokes a certain set of parameters that can limit its meaning?

I find speaking of off-planet and dimensional beings in the absolute -- boggles the mind.
Are they your next-door neighbors and you have morning coffee together on the lanai?
Instead of discussing the weather - you discuss different species of the universe, their habits, and intent?

It would surely be funny to at least some of them, how we fumble like apes with the concept.
If the universe is infinite, (if it even is a "universe"), then our understanding has to be pitifully miniscule.
We use basic, general terminology to describe to describe things with specific traits.
Hell, there could be a quadrillion species of ET with totally different traits, and we'd lump em all into the same or similar categories. Some say there are multiple species of "grey" from different worlds.
I wonder if that'd be to them like us saying "Arab" to refer to both a Palestinian and a Morrocan?
Or "Black" for a Jamaican Rasta and a British astrophysicist.
Or would it be even more weird to them, like comparing a terrier to a wolf, or a human to a Spider-monkey?
What if the greys onboard the same craft have extreme racial and cultural differences and we just think they all look the same and we're the racists?

When I have OBEs, I come across all kinds of entities on the astral plane. Some of them seem like spirits, some are other projectors and some I would describe as astral wildlife. One time I came across a giant praying mantis. He spoke to me telepathically and told me that he was from a planet very far away from me and that he liked to travel with his mind. I interpreted that to mean that he was able to OBE like me.
Goldie said she was napping when she had her experience. Maybe she had a lucid dream or and OBE and her unconscious wish to see aliens let her to them.

Yes I want to know if one can honestly make such absolute statements about demons and aliens.
I am fascinated by visitedbythem’s post. She must know all the secrets of the universe.
They must have been revealed to her when she was visited by them.
