in opposition to Kautantowit. He was sometimes also referred
to as "Chipi," which means "ghost" in Wampanoag. After the introduction of Christianity,
Wampanoag and Narragansett people began to identify Hobbomock with the Devil .

Don Juan said Mescalito was the best teacher.  He more than a power plant.  He gave visions. Chepi is a spirit of the dead.  His teachings were in dreams.   And given to the medicine men.   
Were there any similarities?

in the end it is all one Spirit... but many spirit personalities and classes/groups/types



and many varying beliefs about their natures, essences, qualities, and functions

"Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead.



I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from God in writing, but through the living word.



The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men.



In everything that is life is the law written.



You find it in the grass, in the tree, in the river, in the mountain, in the birds of heaven, in the fishes of the sea; but seek it chiefly in yourselves.



For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture which is without life.



God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man.



God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit.



They are in your breath, your blood, your bone; in your flesh, your bowels, your eyes, your ears,
and in every little part of your body.



They are present in the air, in the water, in the earth, in the plants, in the sunbeams,
in the depths and in the heights.



They all speak to you that you may understand the tongue and the will of the living God.



But you shut your eyes that you may not see, and you shut your ears that you may not hear.



I tell you truly, that the scripture is the work of man, but life and all its hosts are the work of our God.



Wherefore do you not listen to the words of God which are written in His works?



And wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which are the work of the hands of men?"





...



If you will that the living God's word and his power may enter you, defile not your body and your spirit;



for the body is the temple of the spirit, and the spirit is the temple of God.



Purify, therefore, the temple, that the Lord of the temple may dwell therein and occupy a place that is worthy of him.





"And from all temptations of your body and your spirit, coming from Satan,
withdraw beneath the shadow of God's heaven."

"For I tell you truly, evils and dangers innumerable lie in wait for the Sons of Men. Beelzebub, the prince of all devils, the source of every evil, lies in wait in the body of all the Sons of Men. He is death, the lord of every plague, and taking upon him a pleasing raiment, he tempts and entices the Sons of Men. Riches does he promise, and power, and splendid palaces, and garments of gold and silver, and a multitude of servants, all these; he promises renown and glory, fornication and lustfulness, gluttony and wine-bibbing, riotous living, and slothfulness and idle days. And he entices every one by that to which their heart is most inclined. And in the day that the Sons of Men have already become the slaves of all these vanities and abominations, then in payment thereof he snatches from the Sons of Men all those things which the Earthly Mother gave them so abundantly. He takes from them their breath, their blood, their bone, their flesh, their bowels, their eyes and their ears. And the breath of the Son of Man becomes short and stifled, full of pain and evil-smelling, like the breath of unclean beasts. And his blood becomes thick and evil-smelling, like the water of the swamps; it clots and blackens, like the night of death. And his bone becomes hard and knotted; it melts away within and breaks asunder, as a stone falling down upon a rock. And his flesh waxes fat and watery; it rots and putrefies, with scabs and boils that are an abomination.



And his bowels become full with abominable filthiness, with oozing streams of decay; and multitudes of abominable worms have their habitation there. And his eyes grow dim, till dark night enshrouds them, and his ears become stopped, like the silence of the grave. And last of all shall the erring Son of Man lose life. For he kept not the laws of his Mother, and added sin to sin. Therefore, are taken from him all the gifts of the Earthly Mother: breath, blood, bone, flesh, bowels, eyes and ears, and after all else, life, with which the Earthly Mother crowned his body."
