Demons, Evil Spirits, and Awakening - a podcast by Marshall Davis

According to the earliest account of Jesus’ ministry, he engaged in two major activities. One was the preaching of the Kingdom of God. The other activity that dominates Jesus’ ministry in the Gospel of Mark is casting out evil spirits. 

That also is a communication of nondual awareness, although a much more dramatic communication of it than simple teaching. It is analogous to the physical and sometimes violent techniques used by Zen masters to shock a person into waking up to Reality. 

In this episode I explore what demons and evil spirits really represent in the gospel narratives. They are not little spiritual entities wandering the spiritual realm seeking for someone to possess. I show that many of the biblical stories of exorcism are actually examples of people waking up to the Kingdom of God, what I call unitive awareness, the Presence of God, or Christian nonduality.
