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. I do, however, believe in inner demons.
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 inner demons with your mind by giving in to fears.
Your Energy Field Is Your Mind
Your mind is pure energy. Everything that you perceive in it — and scarily, even things you don’t perceive, too — is part of you and creates what you perceive “outside” yourself. But there is nothing really outside yourself. And you have control over what reality is to some extent.
If there’s some part of you that hasn’t integrated into your conscious mind, it will affect your daily life. If it’s something good, like an innate belief in abundance, then you may be rich with resources without even trying. If it’s something undesirable that you don’t want to face, like childhood trauma, then you are carrying energy with you that can creep into your daily life that you may not want.
Your Fears Construct “Entities”
You can create entities with your mind just like you create your perceptions. You can give birth to ideas and those ideas can turn into nonphysical creatures that you perceive as separate from you. If they’re attacking you, then you would never want to admit that they are part of you, right? But they are.
Your fears can create entities that can come after you. If you have been refusing to face your deepest innermost fears and heal your traumatic past, then those things in your energy field will take on a life of their own — forcing you to look at them.
Escape the Prison of Your Own Mind
Now that you know that you create your own inner demons, is it easier? Probably not. It’s actually more terrifying, at least to me, to realize that those shadowy spirits attacking me in the night are actually parts of me. I am attacking myself. Super. What do I do now?
All I know is that all of us have to try to get better every day, and part of that is realizing that your mind creates your reality. Your mind can be a prison of your own creation if you let it be. But I am choosing to turn it into my liberation. Will you join me?
