Bullshit (little essay) More Details on Morgan's viewFrom: Michael Winn

MessageN,
I gave a thumbnail sketch that left out details relevant to your essay - which is excellent, but possibly mis-directed against Michel Morgan's new line. He is, however, very Christian and gnostically oriented on some levels, and so some of your criticism may apply.
But the twist in Morgan's latest thesis is that the local God / Prime Creator of this physical earth and cosmos (not sure how far out that extends, its not made clear) created mortal humans as part of the process of recovering from a gall too fast too far into density that they couldn't re-expand. This God supports this physical world, and supports sexual coupling and reincarnation as part of the process of re-evolving back up to a more expanded state. This god maintains and supports this physical creation.
The Djinns are described as the major part of Primordial Heaven, who allowed "God" - also a Djinn, but young one and a strange one, with ideas about free will and love - a corner of creation to experiment in as "God" wished. The vast majority of the Djinns were essentially indifferent to God-Djinn creating whatever S/he wanted, as long as it didn't impinge on their reality/hierarchy/structure.
This is where the anthropomorphizing in Morgan's book wears a bit thin, and begins to sound like a Star Wars script. Morgan claims ONE of those older Djinns wanted to cause our local God-Djinn to fail, to further his own position with the Ruling council of older Djinns. And thus interfered with God's creation of physical earth and human evolution, already begun by Lucifer and God.
God goes to war against the older Djinns, and destroys the one djinn who was out to cause him to fail.
A peace in heaven ensues, in which God has to allow the other Djinns equal influence in God's "free will " cosmos, otherwise it would not be truly free will.
So its not clear if the daimons N is speaking of are the same Djinns, who don't want a successful functional earth. But in any case, I agree with the basic premise of N, that a counterforce is what gives movement, and even Morgan posits that the humans who evolve here are HIGHER than the beings who never "fell" into physicality. These aspect of the local God are now resentful and jealous that the "fallen" humans are re-immortalising themselves to a higher level of awareness than those who never "fell".
I am not defending any story, just clarifying the way it is presented. I don't know of any way to verify any of this.
