to call up on (invoke) spirits and enter the realm of spirits -- both their dimension(s) and their influence, as well as the high of the drugs and/or the spirit(s) influence. I've seen spirits a number of times, but actually, as cliched as this may sound, I was rescued several times by Jesus, when some things went wrong and things got scary. Anyway, He's more powerful than all the other spirits, but lots of "church" people know little about this, but actually they should. The gospel is actually called "the power of God" but lots of Christians dismiss this as being something for long ago. It's nonsense but that's what they think...but back to seeing spirits, etc., yes you can see them with the aid of other spirits. One warning note: if you ever get in trouble with demons who actually get tired of acting good, and then decide to finally show their true colors, once they say that "they've got you", well, call on Jesus. Several times I saw spirits growl, and disband, etc. just at the mention of his name, BEFORE I was a Christian.
However, most people erroneously believe that it is some "special ability" or "superstar" quality about them, that lets them see into the spirit world, but it's really usually that they're given the gift of discerning of Spirits, by Jesus, often from birth. They often, but not always, confuse it as their own mental giftedness etc., and sometimes fail to attribute this to just plain grace.
Still, truth is that spirits do exist, but they vibrate, etc. at different frequencies of light than human eyes naturally see, but some recreational or "nature" religion hallucinagens (sorcery) are "honored" by spirits as a means to enter their realm. Many women feel them more easily than men in a general sense, perhaps because God gave women a more sensitive internal nerve wiring/intuition. Anyway, I've seen spirits a few times, yes a few times on mushrooms and on LSD maybe twice, and on peyote, several things happened (once the entire countryside lit up with a spiritual visitation)I entered the spirit realm via sorcery (drugs) before I was Christian. However, I've seen them several times with my eyes, without drugs, when casting them out of people, when the Holy Spirit (of Jesus) allowed me to literally see into the spirit world with my physical eyes with His help, and gave the gift of "discerning of spirits" as is mentioned in I Corinthians 12, 13 and 14 of the New Testament, along with other true gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Unfortunately, there are some really weird "manifestations" that happen even in Christian meetings, while the Holy Spirit is also moving. Bad spirits often get restless in the presence of Jesus, but disguise themselves as religious spirits so as to remain in their "host." The rule about suspicious spiritual gifts in general is that any special one-time "prompting" instructions should not be repeated and exalted to the status of being a regular occurence or "spiritual gift" unless it/they are mentioned as gifts in the New Testament, and with the guidelines mentioned in the passages above.
There are sadly, lying spirits, like lying people, and these fallen angels who rebelled against God, still have many of their original abilities, though their personalities are ruined by their sin, and they disguise themselves as angels of light, in order to fight against people and the kingdom of God. Frankly, they often seek to make Christians look weird in order to make unbelievers not want to come back to their "spacey" church meetings.. Usually it's Christians that want to glory in themselves as being "super spiritual" and they make a show of weird "giftedness"s before others to make themselves look cool (like shaking and jerking and other weird stuff, which seems ultra-spiritual) but that's never mentioned in scripture as a gift. So, please don't blame Jesus if some of his children are new at moving in the spirit world and aren't too good at it.
The general rule is: the Holy Spirit brings more self control, not less, and more mental clarity and freedom, while demons want you to be passive and to release your mind, etc (to them!). and to be unguarded in "proving all things" and holding fast to what is good, and especially morally good. Demons can give people their strength, but the Holy angels are stronger, and Jesus is in a whole different league than anything/anyone. "One little word" shall fell the devil, as Martin Luther correctly wrote.
Anyway, also in the New Testament I John talks in several places about not believing every spirit, but testing them to see if they recommend or practice anything contrary to the word of God. Before I was a Christian, I levitated off the ground two times and had some experiences with dogs and divination and spirits that would read other peoples minds and/or plant thoughts into the group by transfering back and forth and or, enveloping us all. The Lord can give us his mind though, and give us words of knowledge, etc. Again, these are mentioned in FIrst Corinthians, chapters 12, 13 and 13, in the New Testament of the Bible.
Sorry this was long, but I hope that this helps us to "see" them correctly in a truer light.
