Jinns: Those who reside in the world of the unknown

Posted on 08/30/08, 12:03 am

Hi! I am new here - but in the bipolar group they were talking about "shadow people" that people see in regards to hallucinations and all I could think about were jinns. Here is some info on it - please keep an open mind and I know many are not Muslim - (BTW Allah means simply God in Arabic, Arab Christians and Jews call God, Allah)

Here is the link:

  This is very interesting, I hadn't seen this before, thanks for sharing.
  
  It's interesting because the jinn are so similar to us, good and bad..they have to eat..so they really are close.
  
  Another layer is that CJ Jung talks alot about the shadow, it's a big topic and I'm no Jungian scholar but I feel there is a parallel here. The shadow is unknown and generally dangerous. But you can't be human without a shadow. It may be that Jung looked at this, he did generally study other religions to find the common truth.

The aim of this group is to collect, analyse and study information about experiences of being or being meant to be a chosen one, a messenger, a prophet etc, whether from a personal point of view or from what others have shared with us etc.
