A presence

1. Any invisible energy field that is psychically sensed and felt to be a life-form as opposed to an inert energy field (such as an aura, a thought-form, or colored energies); e.g., a dead bird in one hand and a live bird in the other hand give two distinct feelings;

2. used as an umbrella word if one is unable to discern whether the soul-mind from the etheric world is a ghost, a poltergeist, a UFO intelligence, a personal guide, or a deceased friend; etheric world soul-mind can be perceived by clairvoyance, a cold chill in the atmosphere, a fragrance not relative to anything in the vicinity, a touch on the shoulder, a surge of warmth flooding the body, etc.

Aaronic Order

An organization founded in 1942 by Maurice Glendenning in Murry, Utah, after he was excommunicated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for receiving and publishing revelations, well known as the Levitical Writings.
The Aaronic Order mission statement is "to participate in and hasten the preparation of the Body of Jesus Christ for His second coming." Their vision statement is "to restore the Biblical, Levitical ministry to its prophesied fulness in Jesus Christ and to reconcile individuals, families, and fellowships to their places in the Body of Christ."

 

A Kabbalistic charm and a magical word, used in certain Gnostic writings, possibly derived from the initials of the Hebraic words Ab, Ben and ruach a Cadesch ('Father, Son and Holy Ghost'). It could also be related to the Greek word abraxas. It often appeared on amulets, and it was first mentioned by the 3rd-century physician Quintus Severus Sammondicus. The word is often used by magicians and conjurors during the performance and culmination of tricks, and by conjuretors to invoke and banish certain spirits. If written, it was usually seen in a diminishing triangle configuration, like so:
