edit on 25-10-2011 by bogomil because: clarification
Your experience could never be Holy unless the entity identifies itself as such, without that identification then you are most likely being deceived.
That's part of your circular nonsense-argumentation.
Correction, that would be fact in the Spiritual Realm, since you have never had such contact then you can't be sure now can you?

So, my question is: How could it be validated, for you to know it is what it is?

I have already answered. Look up what a philosophical scepticist is, to save both of us time and energy.

I see what you have said, but it doesn't answer the question. I'm asking, if an entity claimed to be an angel of light, how could they prove it to YOU?

What would you know about that?
I'm a transcendentalist, but on the same guarded terms as with anything else. Do I need your 'approval' here also (that would be nice, profiling megalomania in your attitudes and 'system').

May I, for a moment, return to your original post? I don't see anything in it which indicates you're talking about exclusively Christian mysticism. Do I understand correctly that you are just talking about spirits in general, or are you confining yourself to Christianity?

I don't have any reason to believe that those spirits are out for my good or the good of mankind. I know of one spirit that was sent to us for our good, called the Paraclete or Comforter, but other than that my best advice would be to stay away from them.
The spirit world has some very bad actors. We are guaranteed only that one is good, and that there are deceptive spirits. Please don't take the chance.

Do you know about it from feelings and faith or by seeing and hearing? I ask because your other comment on this thread. If it was sight and hearing, you could just simply ask what I speak is of truth or not.

Thanks, that tells me. Sound like you have been in contact with many of the wicked ones. That holds very true, make sure they confess it and not just a head nod. Many of them are very tricky.

The only real 'advantage' mankind can have in contact with the para-normal is knowledge, self-discipline and experience.

Does your chest-beating refer to such 'spiritual realms' which are arrived at through the inevitable christian circular methodologies, where christian 'results' are the consequences of setting out with a fanatic wish for 'proving' predetermined answers, and .....bingo......eventually you'll be self-delusioned enough to see what you want to see.
(Btw this goes for any kind of blind fanatism, not only christian brain-washing methods. Zombification is universal for mindsets predisposed for it, and doesn't depend on the wrappings. Though ofcourse there are some ideologies, which have made an art of turning their fanatics into mindless idiots).
Quote: ["If your claiming transcendentalist then that would definitely explain your irrational thinking."]
Your ignorance on the subject, and your substandard reading-skills (I have already mentioned my guarded approach to this) only emphasizes your propagandistic idiocy. Every time you take up a subject, you
a/ Have no real knowledge about it
b/ From that ignorance fabulate wildly about what you, in your megalomaniacally elitism, want it to be, so you can use it for your insane christianity-promotion.
So go get some expert help for your religious psychosis, get a basic education (if your intellectual capacity allows it, which I regretfully doubt) and stop talking about things you know nothing about.
