The Demons We Fight With

 

We are constantly fighting with our unconscious.

They appear as demons and evil sprits in our lives

How are these demons created?

These are created through Thoughts that we repress.

These are created through Thoughts that we don't like

These are created through Thoughts that we secretly harbor in our minds

These are created through Thoughts by which we stop the flow of life

These are created through our judgment of things, people and events -- without a holistic understanding.

This happens through labeling something as good and something as bad

This happens through idealistic thinking

This happens when we we feel that whatever we think is the only right way and others are always wrong.

This happens when we deny ourselves our basic urges and instincts.

This happens when we become too greedy and want something more than anything else.

This happens when we start hating people, things, events and phenomena.

This happens when we are deluded in believing something, hoping for something, waiting for something to happen, fearing something too much.

We are then thrown into the wilderness of shrinking consciousness and keep roaming there continuously fighting the demons in reality.

 

We continually try to fight such demons and often lose our battles.

Winning this battle needs a different type of skill.

It is not fighting continuously with a sword and a shield

It is not going to the battlefield and then fighting the battle

It is not about being continuously afraid of evil forces to guard ourselves and not let anyone come near or attack.

It is not fighting someone or something outside. These demons are not outside us.

They reside deep inside us.

The most skillful amongst us fight these battles in the mind first and then go to the battlefield to win the wars. 

One after the other! Continuously!

By doing so we not only help ourselves but also help others.

We create the flow inside to see the flow outside.

It is a flow of awareness.

It is a flow of attention.

It is a flow of compassion.

It is a flow created by empathy, wisdom and total understanding.

It is the gentle flow that matters

That soothes, heals and covers the wounds -- gently and slowly.

It is so easy but we miss it every time.

All it needs is a prepared mind and body that welcome and allow balance to take place.

It is self organising.

Diseases are emergence of causes lost in time and space.

Can be healed physically, mentally and spiritually, of which spirituality is the best.

How do we do that?

Try it!

Heal thyself by knowing thyself!
