Confident With Demons

Demons are our own likes and dislikes that are activated when we are presented with what we do or don’t like. Even the Buddha was presented with this dilemma before enlightenment.

The internet has fascinating attractions to activate our demons. We sit there enraged and fuming about the latest topic, so dropping it isn’t easy while we are full-of-it.

Suddenly, we get it –
our reactions are what they want.

Confidence arises when we realise this, and we stop reacting. It’s the same as dealing with any narcissist; narcissists have no empathy and want to be on top – they literally do not care.

Time is irrelevant to evil minds. They pass on the baton religiously, creating opportunities with the help of our gullibility and lack of reasoning. If our path is to enlightenment, we have to acknowledge that there is evil in the world. Once we understand this and stop complaining, we can have empathy for their misunderstanding of reality.

When they know that they can no longer get to us, they move on to someone more susceptible. Demonic minds are not going to suddenly stop, as long as there are unenlightened sentient beings.

As long as we dwell in the relative world, we want to do something about misunderstanding and injustice. From an absolute viewpoint, we remain in compassionate solitude.
