How Demons are made

 The universe is full of different types of
sentient beings. These have consciousness,
and take on many forms.

To simplify: there are enlightened and
unenlightened beings.The enlightened beings
are selfless, and the unenlightened, selfish –
more or less.

We, as sentient beings, have two potentials:
one is to remain unenlightened and the other is to
become enlightened. In other words, we can be
selfish or selfless.

 However, there is a third option. By becoming
extremely selfish, we enter the lineage of demons.

All it takes for a sentient being to become
a demon is to want powers, to claim to have
powers, and to play God. This happens when
sentient beings obtain a little spiritual knowledge,
but lack wisdom and unconditional compassion.

Although we are conscious, we lack the recognition
of our true nature, and therefore we are governed
by likes and dislikes, hopes and fears, attractions
and repulsions. These emotion control us.

As ordinary beings, we are all subject to these
negative emotional forces, but there are those
who believe that they are special – and it is they
who have the demon potential.

By observing their behaviour, it can be seen that
they create misery for others, and feed off this. They hate
wisdom and happiness in others, because it is something
they cannot achieve.

Negativity brings the body’s immune system down, and
therefore can affect the mind, or rather distract it.

True compassion and humility is our enlightened
potential. A sentient being’s protection against
demonic forces is to realise selfless pure essence
and have compassion for all.

 Demons are we, more or less.
Enlightened are we. more or less.

To say, “I don’t believe in demons,” is ignoring
the power of self importance.
