The Bible says in many places that angels are always watching us.
We don't know exactly what that means. They could be watching us via something like TV.
How do we know that the situation isn't exactly like the Truman Show? Why wouldn't the angels gain satisfaction out of watching us just like the people who watched Truman?
Furthermore, why wouldn't demons be watching us just like angels?
I'm starting to understand how perfect the Truman Show metaphor is:
1. Truman (true man) = a true souled being.
2. The actors in the Truman Show = organic portals.
3. The viewers in the Truman Show = angels watching us.
Can anyone add to this?

Then who are we, the watchers watching the watchers and the whole play?
Are we merely observers?

Did you ever feel like you were the main character in a truman show type show?? Like everyone else seemed to know something you didn't??
Maybe you are the fallen angel and the heavens are watching your redemtion??

Suggested reading - CS Lewis - The Srewtape Letters and PIERCING THE DARKNESS, Frank Peretti - both books are all about your thoughts.

Biblical? NO.
Luke 15:10 Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
It's Biblical that the angels are watching us and gaining enjoyment from watching us. What part of the original post do you disagree with?
