Episode 12 - Dr. Mike Heiser

[wesowsley]

Dr Heiser was kind enough to talk to us about a variety of subjects and we really appreciate it. We found his thoughts on UFO's particularly interesting.

I would love to hear from Dr. Heiser again for more discussion of the Divine Council. Specifically, I'd like to hear theological perspectives on the consequences for our understanding of reality, if we're looking at the world with an awareness of many spiritual entities acting in it.
As far as I'm aware, recognition of "the Higher Hierarchies" has become a lot less emphasized than it was in ancient and medieval and even Renaissance-era Western mindset- though I see a bit more of it in Christian confessions outside my narrow Protestant bandwidth. Such a view definitely harmonizes with religious views across cultures, and allows for some discussion between monotheism and polytheism... historically, if I'm recalling it rightly, that's how the the Roman imperial religion-- and then the Roman Church-- brought in pagan faiths, by recognizing the resonances between different deities and melding them into a combined cult. Like, "yeah, you call her this, we call her that, same goddess." and then, "well, let's just call her the Virgin. And quit dancing naked in the elm grove."

Definitely seems important to look at when we're trying to figure out the nature of all these non-human intelligences that appear to be interacting with us via "the paranormal"...
