Aha! Dost thou not detect a hint of nefarious intent by the Eagle's psalmists when including Anton Levay on its cover in a position of authority i.e. looking down upon the participants?

What say you to these observations?

Re: what type of spirits have you seen?

I had one weird dream when I was a teenager... there was this big thermostat in the sky and this big huge hand (God) reached up and turned it off... and I felt chills when it happened. There wasn't a whole lot more to it, but that is the only dream I remember having like that.

Are you sure that big hand wasn't Al Gore?

Re: what type of spirits have you seen?

It would appear that this communication of the "spirit" world was the normative experience in the book of Acts. Consider the apostle Peter thought his deliverance from prison was another vision until the gates closed behind him...thus indicating a comfortability with the 4th dimensional world of which many argue against and some fear but few go.

This would have been in the mid-80's... I'm not sure I had ever heard of him back then.

I don't feel at liberty to tell anyone, nor do I feel it would profit you if I did feel at liberty. I might feel this way because I've had a close friend who got all into this stuff and lost his way.


i do have to apoligize for this thread i have read what tyk has said about what can this profit, maybe i should change the thread to has anyone had great dreams or visions, i have felt convicted about this, i do apoligize, i think maybe we should not focus on the bad spirits but the good, please if you post lets stay on the good dreams and the good visions, sorry for the thread, please continue

Not True. It wasn't on the cover, it was in the album jacket, and it wasn't Anton LeVey, it was a "shadowy" woman.

Well, "I" heard it was Anton Levay. Steve Timmons said so.

But... This is a song just waiting to be made into a movie! Or at least an episode of The Outer Limits (which actually DOES have an eerily similar show which the song could almost be based on.)
