You Create Your Own Demons
Anything that scares you exists only in your mind.
I don’t adhere to any belief system that is centered around fear. I am open to there being things in the universe that I don’t yet know about, but I have never encountered evil spirits or demons. The universe is made of love.
However, I do believe people when they say they have experiences with demons and malicious entities. Whatever you perceive in the universe is actually an expression of what’s inside you. If you have fears that rule your inner world, they will also manifest in your outer world. So, maybe I have never encountered evil spirits because I cultivate love within and try not to succumb to fear.
I have experienced some weird things. At night, I’ve been attacked by something. It’s been going on for more than twenty years on and off. Often, it’s shadowy figures trying to get into my house to hurt me. I used to think it was “just a dream” but a few years ago I realized that nothing is just a dream. Something in the spirit world was coming at me. It really scared me. I would wake up and turn on the light amid an adrenaline rush, and it was hard to convince myself that wasn’t real for a few minutes after each time it happened.
Then, I really thought about it. Whatever was attacking me wasn’t separate from me. There was some fear in me that was able to manifest at night when I went to sleep. I’ve figured out that I am the master and controller of my own mind, and I can prevent these attacks by telling myself I am safe. I can deeply heal my trauma and face my shadows.
I want to pass on the wisdom I have gained about this because I see so many people living in fear of themselves — but they don’t realize it. It’s so easy to say “I am being attacked” and blame all the problems on some separate entity that is out to get you. This is no different from our daily lives when we blame other people for our problems. You have to take control instead of becoming a victim.
You must realize that you create your own demons with your mind by giving in to fears.
