A demon is anything that obstructs the achievement of freedom. Demons then are ego beliefs - not scary, hairy beasts, but inner barriers that keep us from realizing the nature of reality. The difference between a god and a demon has to do with our reaction to them. Those who cause us pain, also teach us patience, whereas those who bring gifts can distract us from our spiritual paths. No one and no single situation has the power to derail us, that is unless we let it. The power rests within us. The spiritual path was to become intimate with her inner demons: those thoughts or beliefs that keep us from experiencing joy, bliss, and pure love. 

The darkness within us isn’t actually dark. It often feels threatening because some aspect of our intuition knows that when we face it, we will reclaim a part of our soul. We will heal. We will become more whole, and that ironically can be terrifying. 

We get so used to functioning with only one wing. We wonder, how can I fly now with two? Ill go too far, too high. Who will I become now that I am free? And who will I lose in the elevation of my soul?

Feed our demons not with fear, but with the knowledge the bringing it to life and into the light will set us free. 

Is there an ego belief that I am ready to see and release within me?

I see the light in my own darkness. I face my ego beliefs to feel free.
