The greatest miracle worker in the world today is not a Christian. 11.12: Examples of Demonic Miracles 2 Below are a few examples of what we would suggest to be possibly demonically empowered miracle workers, not just magicians. As noted in previous chapters, while fraud and psychological manipulations may have been involved in the following examples, it would seem the particularly supernatural nature of the phenomena suggests demonic involvement. Unfortunately, there is no qualitative difference between what these demonically empowered miracle workers do and what their counterparts in super-supernaturalism are performing. Our primary point here is one that needs to be heard loud and clear in American Christianity: not everything supernatural is holy. A) The Simonians Luke records: Now there was a certain man named Simon, who formerly was practicing magic in the city, and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great; and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, "This man is what is called the Great Power of God." And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts. (Acts 8:10-11 NASB). Simon had obviously performed miracles that were numerous and supernatural enough that he had “astonished” (the same word used several times to describe the effect of Christ’s own miracles on people, i. e. Mt.13:54) a whole province of people such that they believed his powers to be from God. What kind of miracles Simon could do we are not told, but the early Church believed he was demonically empowered. First, as demonstrated elsewhere, even though Simon “believed and was baptized”, (Acts 8:13), his belief was the superficial, short-lived variety that the King warned about (cf. Matt 13:18-23). 1 Accordingly, this same Simon the Sorcerer who appears in Acts, started what would appear to be a cult known as the Simonians who, “were both active and influential for several centuries after the death of their founder.” 2 The early Christian apologist Justin Martyr (c. 150) reflects the demonic nature of Simon Magus’ miracle working when he writes: [A]fter Christ's ascension into heaven the devils put forward certain men who said that they themselves were gods; and they were not only not persecuted by you, but even deemed worthy of honours. There was a Samaritan, Simon, a native 11.12: Examples of Demonic Miracles 3 of the village called Gitto, who in the reign of Claudius Caesar, and in your royal city of Rome, did mighty acts of magic, by virtue of the art of the devils operating in him. He was considered a god, and as a god was honoured by you with a statue, which statue was erected on the river Tiber, between the two bridges, and bore this inscription, in the language of Rome:-"Simoni Deo Sancto," "To Simon the holy God." And almost all the Samaritans, and a few even of other nations, worship him, and acknowledge him as the first god; and a woman, Helena, who went about with him at that time, and had formerly been a prostitute, they say is the first idea generated by him. 3 Likewise, in the fourth century, the premier early Church historian Bishop Eusebius (c. 260-c. 340) wrote of Simon Magus: [T]he enemy of man's salvation, in a wily attempt to capture the imperial city [Rome] in time, brought there Simon . and by lending his [satan’s] own weight to the man's artful impostures took possession of many people in Rome and led them astray. 4 While there may be mere legend mixed in with the historical accounts of this man, it is clear that he was a demonically empowered miracle-worker. Early church Fathers speak substantially about Simon Magus’ followers as well. Justin Martyr wrote: Another Samaritan, called Menander, from the village of Caparattaca, became a disciple of Simon and like him was driven mad by the demons. It is known that he arrived in Antioch and deluded many by magical trickery. He even persuaded his followers that they would not die: and there are still some who on the strength of his assertion maintain this belief. 5 Likewise, Eusebius added: Irenaeus also writes that contemporary with these was Carpocrates, father of another heresy known as that of the Gnostics. These claimed to transmit Simon's magic arts, not secretly like Basilides but quite openly, as if this was something marvelous, preening themselves as it were on the spells which they cast by sorcery, on dream-bringing familiar [demonic] spirits, and on other goings-on of the same sort. 6 It is sobering to notice that many of these same phenomenon occur in super-supernaturalism today, and because they clearly do 11.12: Examples of Demonic Miracles 4 not reflect biblical attributes or purposes, they must become suspected as demonic counterfeits, much like those encountered by our early Christian ancestors. However, while such people are glorified now in the modern Church, they were condemned then by the more sober leaders of the early Church. Along these lines, Dr. David Aune, a respected authority on the early Church observes, “It is clear [that] ancient magic had a profound impact on early Christianity, both as an external enemy and as an internal threat.” 7 Why do so many in the Church assume that the same is not true today? B) Levitations Kenneth Hagin (1917-2003), a foremost leader of super- supernaturalism, related the following story: [One] night when we gave the alter call, I sensed the power of God was upon one of the women. She began exhorting people to be saved. With her eyes closed, she stepped upon the wide altar, and began walking from one end to the other, exhorting sinners to be saved. She would walk right up to the end of the altar, and you would think she was going to step off, but each time she would turn. God is my witness, my wife is my witness, and each person in that building is my witness, she began to dance right off the end of the altar. She stood in mid-air dancing! Her feet were not touching the floor. Everyone saw it. I could have reached out and touched her. 8 We believe that such an event is undeniable and defies any natural explanation. Unless there was intentional fraud involved on the part of Mr. Hagin, such a feat would seem to require supernatural power, either the direct and divine kind, or the delegated and demonic kind. As we will discuss below, we are not at all impressed with the woman “exhorting people to be saved,” as satan-serving false apostles in the first century did the same. Particularly considering the unbiblical doctrines of Mr. Hagin, 9 we do not believe this event was empowered by the Holy Spirit, but a demonic spirit. And such an event in a “Christian” setting illustrates how much of the miraculous occurring in super-supernaturalist environments may be explained in this way. Such a levitation becomes particularly suspect when such occurrences are found among the occult. The Encyclopedia of 11.12: Examples of Demonic Miracles 5 Occultism & Parapsychology (EOP) reports the following regarding the phenomenon of levitation: [Levitation is] the rising of physical objects . or of human beings into the air, contrary to the known laws of gravitation and without any visible agency. As such, the phenomenon was reported from ancient times. The power was claimed by wizards of many primitive tribes, by mystics in the East, and it has been repeatedly claimed . by several modern Spiritualist mediums. The mediums [have] offered themselves as evidence to science that the miracles of rising in the air recorded in the life of . ecstatics, witches, and victims of demoniac possession might rest on a solid basis of fact. Henry Jones, a 12 year old English boy of Shepton-Mallet, England, was believed to be bewitched in 1657 as he was carried by invisible means from one room to another, and sometimes wholly lifted up, so that his body hung in the air, with only the flat of his hands placed against the ceiling. One afternoon in the garden of Richard Isles, he was raised up and transported over the garden wall for about 30 yards. With no other [occultic] medium was levitation so often and so reliably attested as with [Douglas D.] Home. In Britain, Sir William Crookes narrated his own experiences [with Home]. “There are at least a hundred instances of Mr. Home’s rising from the ground, in the presence of as many separate persons . To reject the recorded evidence on this subject is to reject all human testimony whatever; for no fact in sacred or profane history is supported by a stronger array of proofs. On several occasions Home and the chair on which he was sitting at the table rose off the ground. This was generally done very deliberately, and Home sometimes tucked up his feet on the seat of the chair and held up his hands in full view of all of us.

  • Erlendur Haraldsson and James G. Matlock. Hove: White Crow Books, 2016
    Book Reviews I SAW A LIGHT AND I CAME HERE: CHILDREN’S EXPERIENCES OF REINCARNatION by Erlendur Haraldsson and James G. Matlock. Hove: White Crow Books, 2016. This highly informative book by two eminent reincarnation researchers comes in the form of 32 short chapters, presented in two parts written separately by each author. The first part, by Erlendur Haraldsson, concentrates primarily on investigations of children reporting memories of a past life, while in the second part James Matlock, an anthropologist by training, provides a broader context for this phenomenon. The first part includes mainly accounts of Haraldsson’s own investigations of numerous cases in Sri Lanka, Lebanon, India and Iceland. However, this is not simply a review of the existing database of cases; there are historical cases as well as some new and ongoing ones, and both authors refer to the work of other researchers, including Ian Stevenson, Antonia Mills, Jim Tucker and Hernani Andrade. The selection with which we are presented is thus aimed at providing us with a comprehensive insight into the current state of the field and the direction in which the research seems to point. In much of the literature on the subject we hear only about the most impressive cases of past-life memories fitting a previous personality (solved cases), but this is hardly a balanced view, as this volume clearly demonstrates. Striking cases can be found — like the solved case of a Druze boy in Lebanon — so full of remarkable instances of behaviours, recognition of family members, and memories of unusual details (like having his car batteries charged twice by Israeli soldiers when driving from Beirut) that it seemed “too good to be true” (p.

  • Near-Death Experiences: Evidence for Survival? 1
    Near-Death Experiences: Evidence for Survival? 1 V. Krishnan Tamilnad, India ABSTRACT This paper argues that the out-of-body experience (OBE) and other elements of a near-death experience (NDE), as well as the positive affects that accompany them, do not yield conclusive evidence for survival after death. The OBE has features that suggest a physical basis for it, the other elements show the influ ence of cultural background, and positive affects may simply occur to conserve one's energy and prolong life. Other explanations for near-death elements, such as sensory deprivation, extrasensory perception, and eyeless sight, are addressed. INTRODUCTION Various interpretations have been offered for near-death experi ences (NDEs) (see Drab [1981] for a brief account). I am concerned here with the view that they hint at survival after death. As I have said elsewhere in a rather piecemeal fashion, I doubt whether.such a claim can be made on the basis of the experiences currently cited in support of it (Krishnan, 1978, 1981, 1982). In fact, some of them seem to me to be biological mechanisms that help the experiencer survive. However, I do not hold the view that it is fruitless to look for survival evidence in NDEs or other phenomena. Indeed, there are good reasons for not closing the issue. Before examining the survivalists' use of the NDE as evidence, let me recall here briefly the NDE's most common elements: an over whelming feeling of peace and well-being (which serves as an affective background for other experiences, if there are any); an out-of-body experience (OBE); a sensation of floating through darkness or a passage described as a tunnel, etc.; meeting spirits, dead relatives, and religious figures; an encounter with a presence or a brilliant light; a feeling of being in a realm of ethereal beauty; a life review; and a sense of reaching a limit beyond which the experiencer feels that he or she should not go.

    Book Reviews 191 Glimpses of Eternity: Sharing a Loved One’s Passage from This Life to the Next by Raymond Moody with Paul Perry. New York: Guideposts, 2010. 183 pp. $19.95 (hardcover). ISBN 978824948139. Glimpses of Eternity is a highly interesting book on a fascinating topic. It contains dozens of accounts of what the authors call shared-death experiences. These accounts were related to Moody over the years, often at conferences and book signings, or told by colleagues, friends, or hospital staff. The book is not describing the results of a systematic scientifi c research project, but it brings to light many interesting rare cases of the kind that little attention has been paid to, in part perhaps because of how exceptional they are. One wonders whether many of these cases are a residue of deathbed-vision cases and near-death experiences that the authors were until now hesitant to publish because they appeared so incredible. Or, could the features of some of these experiences have been somewhat exaggeratedly reported to the authors? Or, were these accounts jotted down after lectures and book-signings without getting back to the persons who reported them to check their correctness? These are methodological limitations and questions to which some readers will want answers. There is much room for further studies of deathbed-visions and end-of-life experiences, among them to corroborate some of the more exceptional experiences found in this book. In shared-death experiences, as the authors defi ne them, the observer of a dying person suddenly fi nds himself seeing the deceased persons that are generally visible only to the dying, namely, he shares the deathbed visions of the dying person.

University Press of Virginia, 1980 (second edition). 396 pp. $25.93, ISBN 9780813908724. Introduction Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation (first published in 1966) is a classic of 20th-century parapsychology that can still be read with profit.' Along with Children Who Remember Previous Lives (2001),^ it is an ideal introduction to Stevenson. The latter work, intended for the educated general reader, provides an overview of 40 years of research and includes capsule summaries of several cases, but Twenty Cases contains detailed reports that illustrate reincamation- type cases much more fully. The cases reported in Twenty Cases come from India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Lebanon, Brazil, and the United States (the Tlingit Indians of Alaska). They were selected from about 200 personally investigated by Stevenson in order to show the variety of features this type of case presents. The subjects of all were young children at the time they claimed to have lived before. Collectively these twenty cases help define "cases ofthe reincamation type," as Stevenson came to call them, though they vary substantially in detail. The book includes both evidentially strong and weak cases, cases among strangers and in the same family, cases with strong behavioral features, cases with birthmarks and congenital deformities related to the previous person,' a case with a change of sex between the previous person and the subject, and a case in which the previous person died after the birth of the subject.

Such experiences have been reported throughout history in diverse cultures, and are reported today by 10% to 20% of people who have come close to death. Although cultural expectations and parameters of the brush with death influence the content of some NDEs, near-death phenomenology is invariant across cultures. That invariance may reflect universal psychological defenses, neurophysiological processes, or actual experience of a transcendent or mystical domain. Research into these alternative explanations has been hampered by the unpredictable occurrence of NDEs. Regardless of the causes or interpretations of NDEs, however, they are consistently associated with profound and long-lasting aftereffects on experiencers, and may have important implications for non-experiencers as well. Keywords: near-death experience; psychological explanation; neurophysiological explanation; mystical experience; science; out-of-body experience; death; attitude change 1. Introduction Near-death experiences (NDEs) are vivid, realistic, subjective experiences that often occur in life-threatening conditions, such as in cardiac or respiratory arrest, head injury, or states of shock.

  • Sense and Nonsense in Parapsychology
    Sense and Nonsense in Parapsychology Parapsychology spans a spectrum from sophisticated skepticism to pro-psi gullibility Piet Hein Hoebens Parapsychology is indistinguishable from pseudo-science, and its ideas are essentially those of magic. Parapsychology is a farce and a delusion, along with other claims of wonders and powers that assail us every day of our lives. These somewhat unflattering remarks are taken from the concluding paragraphs of two recent books in which the pretensions of parapsy­ chology are examined from a skeptical point of view. The first is from James Alcock's Parapsychology: Science or Magic?1 and the second from James Randi's Flim-Flam!2 It was to be expected that such sentences would provoke the indig­ nation of the parapsychologists—who in fact were quick to point out what they perceived as gross unfairness on the part of both authors. The com­ plaint most frequently heard was something to the effect that both Alcock and Randi have overstated their case by generalizing their (often justified) criticisms of a subset of paranormal claims to the entire field of para­ psychology—thereby tarring all proponents with the same brush. It is argued that, in their eagerness to exorcise the demons of the New Non­ sense, the skeptics have failed to take into account the differences between "serious parapsychology" and the less than serious variety. In his witty (and by no means unsympathetic) review of Flim-Flam! in Theta,* Douglas M. Stokes writes: "In fact, almost all of the phenom­ ena and claims Randi critiques in the book would be equally quickly dismissed by any competent parapsychologist as well.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.31275/2018/1318 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC-ND Part 1 of the book comprises the first 166 pages, having been contributed by Erlendur Haraldsson (professor of psychology emeritus at the University of Iceland) (Haraldsson 2017a). The remaining 106 pages, Part 2, are from anthropologist James G. Matlock (Parapsychology Foundation, USA). Erlendur Haraldsson may be seen as the doyen of European survival and especially reincarnation research. Among many of his books, he has now, at last, come out with one bringing together, as part of his outstand- ing lifetime accomplishments, his many relevant articles between two book covers (see references on p. 275) (Haraldsson 2017b). He belongs to the pi- oneers who around the world investigated cases of children spontaneously claiming to remember a previous life. Part 1 is written in the manner of an empirical field researcher. He lets his cases speak for themselves. Especially the first three examples, but also others farther down, will pose a problem to skeptics to come up with an explanation devoid of reincarnation. The first case is about the Sri Lankan girl Purnima Ekanayake (p. 3). She made 20 statements about her previous life, 14 of which were correct, 3 could not be tested, and 3 were false.
