You know there is this long history of monks and hermits and copying things. We wouldn't have the wisdom of the ancients; Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, etc., if it were not for monks back in those dark ages when very few people could even read. And the workmanship they put into their work is instantly noticeable. They would illustrate their pages with elaborate artwork., something you might want to check out.
Here is an old 'woodcut' of a monk copying - one hand traces and the other hand copies. (Most couldn't read what they were copying~!)

I clicked on this thread by accident,except I suspect it probably was anything but.
There is an immense amount of information to read and process. I now need to go away and mull it over.
I was baptised a Catholic, and though have never had a conscious near death experience,both myself and eldest son were very close to death,when he was born,by emergency section.An event which was precipitated by another non coincidence.So I do feel we were both saved.
Yet I also know beyond any shadow of doubt,that I have been in the presence of evil.This event preceeded the "saved" experience.
I had to drive as if my wheels were on fire,until I reached a church,which I knew inctively would be the only place I would be safe.(odd as I had not set foot in a church in years)
As soon as I hurled myself into the grounds,literally,I relaxed and the terror left me.
I certainly never,ever want to have that terror again,and it was, complete undiluted terror.I was sober and to this day,I can hardly bear to recall it.
I discussed the incident with a priest, who shed some light on the matter.I was concerned that it was something within me,but the explanation he gave was more plausible.
I have to really think now,how I am going to process all this information, and how it fits into my life.

Welcome! And feel free to comment on anything. I too have been in the presense of Evil. Spiritually, I call the 'small' ones 'unfriendly's' and I utterly ignore them because they have no power over me and they know it. There is so much more going on around us than we perceive with our senses. I can perceive the spiritual realm, which is both a blessing and a curse. If I sense an 'unfriendly' I do a 'Glinda' on them.. "you have no power here! Begone! before someone drops a house on you too!" And they split - pronto. But it sounds like you are talking about a REALLY unfriendly.
