The Great Encounter

- 8 - facts, if it arises anywhere today. 1 The only difference being that the prophets of the past were stoned to death for their assertions, whilst nowadays the prophet is derided and ridiculed , unless he ends up in an asylum for the insane. But the students of theology behave very unchristian, if one dares to doubt their own assertions.  Blessings and the Holy Cross are not in a position to ban demons.  The devil, with his cynical smile, makes a ceremonial entrance into every Church, but he cannot make this entrance into every heart .  Character and faith, combined with the good will of the righteous man is the only bulwark against Satan. Nothing else in this world can arrest his progress! Next to GOD, the greatest power The Old Testament and the New Testament also are historical traditions of spiritual, therefore para- psychological events. All of these reports deal with the supernatural and the devil plays no minor role in these reports. He’s to be found here and everywhere, especially when divine things and arguments are afoot. We should therefore not be astonished or alarmed by the fact that Satan also turns up in parapsychology and that he plays a very special role therein, because parapsychology in particular, the research into the hereafter, is one of his favourites. This is where he senses his powerful enemy, because parapsy- chology in particular represents an absolutely dependable way to gain true faith and the highest knowledge. Satan has always tried to have a negative influence on spiritism and this through deceit and mockery. This is the reason why profane spiritism actually represents a great danger to certain people, because the first encounter with otherworldly powers is always an encounter with hell. This is the reason why this factual report of the Great Encounter has not been spared the devil’s atten- tion. The Great Encounter also had to deal with him and it was a mental wrestling match of life and death proportions, full of magical eeriness and gruesome, actual reality. It has to be pointed out here that all the great prophets and founders of religion had to endure this struggle, this “wrestling match with the devil” even if it took place hundreds or thousands of years ago and countries and oceans apart:  Buddha had to argue with “Mara”, with evil.  Zarathrustra (Zoroaster) called him “Ahra Manyu”.  The Koran preaches: “And I’m convinced that there is a paradise, a hell and a Sirat-Bridge, a bridge of scales and eternal happiness, granted to all those that do not doubt. Dal ilah allah Mohammed rescul Lah“! Irrefutable is the fact that Satan represents the greatest power next to GOD and also the most signifi- cant intelligence next to the Trinitarian GOD. One of his most dangerous character traits is his ability to influence people by creating an opinion through suggestion and by controlling almost all emotions. This is the way he creates the opinion amongst qualified people that he doesn’t actually exist and only represents a fairytale figure of man’s fantasy. To make a point here, this is truly a dangerous opinion, because it’s like removing the label from a bottle filled with poison to make it seem harmless, but this with lethal results. 1 GOD will not be silenced!
