And so they know what they can and cannot do.
The first time that actually really occurred to me was I had this one case where this demon, because when they take possession, unless it's a perfect possession, but if it's a partial possession, they take possession of a part of the body, and from there they can affect the rest of the person.
And so the demon was possessing this woman's lower back, and I commanded him to tell me, why are you possessing that part?
He says, I don't know.
So I commanded him, why not?
What do you mean you don't know?
And he said, when I entered, Christ restricted me to this part of the body.
And that's when it made me realize he has control over everything, when they can manifest, how long they can manifest, the kind of manifestation they can actually do, how they can attack the person that's possessed, how they can attack us, even in our ordinary temptations and things like that.
And in other ways, he regulates all of it, ultimately.
And then you begin to realize, too, over the course of time, it's ultimately for our spiritual benefit.
So, actually, according to Pseudo-Dionysius and then also Thomas Aquinas and then pretty much the whole theological tradition from that time, from Dionysius on,
basically held that in the very beginning when God created, what he did is he created the entire hierarchy of angels instantaneously all at once.
And these angels were, all the angels were created and they,
Thomas Aquinas talks about what they call the three instances of the angels.
So when they were first created, how they understand things is the opposite of ours.
So when we want to know something, we'll actually study a number of different individual things that are like that so we can get a general sense and then from that we'll abstract kind of a conceptual understanding of what these things actually are, what their nature actually is.
But that's because we use our senses to come to know things, right?
And this is why even as human beings, we know that if someone isn't in contact with their senses, we know there's something wrong with them, right?
Whereas the angels and also the demons are the exact opposite.
All their knowledge was infused.
