This lesson continues our series in Sefer Minhat Eliyahu on the topic of distinguishing between angelic and demonic encounters.

Spiritual encounters happen every day to regular people. While we do not see apparitions appearing before us, we do sense strong emotional urges. Many times these urges are from outside forces seeking our harm.

Today we see a common practice called channeling, wherein which someone goes into a trance and claims to be speaking to some long lost soul, some angel, or some other type of spiritual being. The bookstores are full of such lessons that these entities provide.

Who are these entities and how legitimate are their teachings? How can we tell the difference between truth and falsehood, the good and the bad?
Even in religious circles today we have the common phenomena of Facilitated Communication with autistic individuals. How legitimate is this?

How can we tell if what is being channeled is holy or a subtle demonic deception?

We cannot say that demons are easy to spot. They often cover their tracks and make themselves appear to be holy when in truth they are not.
This lesson teaches us more about how to tell the difference between true expressions and false ones. We discuss how to sense a presence and to judge how good or bad it truly is.

Many examples are given and stories told. This material is vital for everyone to learn. The more spiritual you tend to be, the more you need this lesson.
