Reminds me of a boogey man I met at work.

A woman came in and explained that as a child she had been taken to a place in Baja California where people were having a demonic conclave that evidently involved sacrifice of an infant. Her parnts had drugged her, probably with something similar to LSD (there are many concoctions that work similarly) and while she was being horrified, they told her that she'd have to "gve herself to Satan" or they'd sacrifice another infant. So, after a brief moral struggle, she agreed and they dedicated her to Satan.

A few years later, as a young adult,  she presented with nightmares and terror that she was doomed and on the fast track to hell. It seemed that she had an "inner voice" that was definitely not her own, and she didn't like what it was telling her.  So I told her to relax, and asked the entity to come out and talk. "What's your name?" In a growly voice it replied, "Demon." I said, "OK. How come you're here?" It said, "She gave herself to me." I pointed out, "But that was to save the life of a child, wasn't it?" In a moment it replied, "Yes." Continuing I asked, 'So actually, she's a saint isn't she?" This caused a very long pause. Finally a grumble, "Yes." My next question, "So because she's a saint you have no power over do you?" A very long pause, and a rather disconsolate, "No."

Having cleared the air I asked,"How long have you been doing this?" The entity responded, "Long time." "How did you get into this kind of thing?" It responded that a spirit had told it that if were to be a demon and torture people then it would never die, so long as it was able to keep on being a demonic entity. "Look inside of yourself and you'll see a point of light. ... Let that light expand, snce that's what you're made of. " Soon the entity had more or less become "illuminated"  and seemed astounded. "I'm made of light."

Once in a while a "demon" who has returned to the natural state of light is fearful to go into the light because of fear that God is there with the Cosmic Fly Swatter, ready to exterminate them.  I usually ask for a friend from the light to reach down and give them a hand, explain how wonderful it is, that there is total love, forgiveness, and all the nurturance and healing needed, plus total safety. And that's generally all it takes.

In a way I see the same thing with people here - every so often someone comes along who is certain that they personally are irredeemably damned, and that they are destined to hell, possession, or whatever. Or, alternatively, that there's no hope, and after this life wears out, they just get trashed, like so much cosmic dirt, swept into the cosmic trash bin. Then, after a while, an inner light tentatively emerges - and they have the option to expand it, to discover that this is what they have been made of, and that there is a fantastic future awaiting thm ion which there is only love and support, so great that all their petty deeds of comission and omission get swept away. I'm not sure whether Bruce would call this forum a vestige of the light, but there's a remarkably similar transformative process going on here.

Anyway, LightR-On, this is why we do this stuff, and you're most welcome to stick around and play. I have found more love and caring in one spot on this site than anywhere else I've been looking, and I have every confidence that you'll find whatever your specific interests might be - at least in this general area. - - - And if you're like me, it'll give you a chance to occasionally sound off and pretend that you know somethng.

Dave:

My take on what you shared is that some earthbound spirits, for whatever reason, decide to take on the role of demon. But as you say, all spirits have light in them. What else is there?

I'd like to add that the amount of love in the universe is infinite, while negative emotions are created anew because somebody becomes upset about something. There is no way that the amount of negative emotional energy created can compete with an infinite expanse of love.

Hi I have been getting negative entitys,because when i do my readings i have not been saying my prayer of protection and i have been leaving my aura open ,so that anything can get in,also i have been wearing my cruxifix all night for proection and also ask God now to leave his blessing on me and fill my bedroom with his loving light.I have not received any negative entitys since.

Love and God bless you all juditha

I keep my cross and chain on night and day for protection from evil spirits and demons i say the protection prayer every night followed by the lords prayer .

Thanks recoverer bless you for your advice you have made me feel better about that horrible experience lots of love deanna

You're welcome Juditha and Deanna:

And thank you again for sharing your circle experiences because it's nice to see the different ways in which God and his friends communicate with us. They want us to know that they are there for us.  Much more than whoever. "Talk to the hand whoever, cause I'm not listening."  

I agree with Mairlyn..I find Dave's posts fascinating and think his service goes way beyond the norm...
