Faith, Spirit, Bacteria, and Demons

HH
I would say just as blessed memory revealed that a person is surrounded play tens of thousands of demons, animals can see them, the humans cannot because if they would be able to see them they would go mad. The words of ever holy sages are absolute truth and need no outside corroboration for vindication. Even still we can make their words more real to us by seeing how natural they are. That's we can point out that everyone knows today how there are millions of bacteria everywhere, and it is very readily understood that every living organism has a spiritual force behind it, and thus it is all that much clearer to us the words of our holy Sages that they are all these spiritual entities surrounding us.
This post was inspired by an article I just saw of how even when we are sleeping the bacteria abound on our flesh and faces and proliferate, fancy that. This drove home extreme warning of our holy Sages of the importance of Krias Shima Al Hameetu - the recital of the Shema and prayers before going to sleep which destroy all the damaging and avenging spiritual entities, fancy what that does to all those bacteria.
Rabbi Nussun once had to explain to a skeptic the words of our holy Sages that the worms that eat a corpse are as painful as a needle puncturing live skin, explain the concept of kista dichayee - the residue you of life which remains in the bones and thus even the skeptic can understand how a corpse can feel pain. One of Rabbi Nussun's disciples overheard the conversation and antiques cleaned in wonderment how unbelievable the explanation was and until now it is so well understood. Rabbi Nusson was furious with him, he told him all this I explained to the skeptic who doubted the words of our holy Sages and needed this, but anyone who has believed accepts the words of the sages as iron-clad absolute truth that need no confirmation and on the contrary confirmations just detract from their power and veracity.
