Why People Wrestle Their Demons and How to Stop

A person who repeatedly struggles with their personal weaknesses is said to be wrestling their demons. But what’s really happening, and how can we stop these cycles of suffering to receive the happy healthy life that we always deserve? This Sunday September 10, 2023 we’ll answer these questions and more with honesty and empowerment to everyone – except for the demons of course! We’ll see how the love of the real living loving Universe supports our own joyful eternal reality creation, and where in the process negativity starts. You’ve probably heard that there is no devil, but as creators in training who have freewill we can invent a devil that seems to manifest in bad experiences. Projecting an inner conflict fuels outer conflicts in a world where people torment each other until they realize with more self-love they can just stop.

We must discover that the Source gives us only friends, and it is we the people who keep recreating enemies. We don’t have to take blame ourselves for all the battle fields in life, but we do have to take responsibility for stepping into or around them. When we emotionally focus on problems and keep expecting them, something like that will happen by law of attraction. The question is, why would we manifest conflicts? Are we bad or wrong people? No of course not, we’re good with good intentions for life to get better. But we are negatively adapted to cultural errors of thinking that the universe is threatening.

Most of us were trained to expect life to be dangerous, often by traumatic examples, especially when we were younger. We adapted to survive in brilliantly creative ways such as victimhood and paranoid aggression. Our adaptations are meant to be temporary until we can get help to heal and see the Universe as friendly again. Most people obsess over what may go wrong in the future and internalize unhealthy reactions until they either explode defensively onto the world or implode to isolate themselves. With the planetary ecosystem collapsing, now would be a good time to become new better people who respond positively rather than react negatively. Therapy, journaling, mindfulness, meditating, and more can help us realize that life doesn’t have to be as bad as the worst histories that happened to us, from childhood abuse to adult betrayals. To let the good Universe back into our lives, we usually just have to end some toxic codependent relationships, including addictions to our own negative thinking patterns.

Misunderstandings and confrontations escalate quickly in a world where people are expecting something bad to happen. We must remind ourselves that people are deep down good, and that goodness can be seen with kindness and compassion. In our heads we may imagine purely negative characters, but in reality no living being is ever created to be negative. That’s impossible because a purely negative consciousness would destroy itself and not exist in the first place. What’s happening is that in the slower lower dimensions people can hold onto negativity for a while, long enough to feel like there’s a source of evil and temptation. Until we own our addictions to negative imagination, people suffer without feeling the Universe’s love for them. So a dark night of the soul is a period of feeling cut off from the Source and attacked by enemies. Demon wrestling starts when we fight back, and the suffering will continue until we realize we’re fighting our own old false beliefs and habits (shadows). This is an astral plane problem where time is part of space and the direction of change is emotional. Thus, years or lifetimes can go by, but nothing really changes until a person welcomes higher assistance to transform their old stuck emotions into happier hopeful energies.

For this meetup, think about what are your most negative thinking habits, and how they get you into fights and problems, both internal and external. After check-ins, we’ll talk about the four levels of energy blockage and the four negative personalities that result, each with their own lifestyle of false belief benefits (temptations). In these phases people will wait for something to work that never will, until they get sick and tired of the struggle of surviving without thriving. As soul-based divine creator beings, we are bigger than we know and we are the ones that we’ve been waiting for. We’ll consider the four stages of partnering with your soul so you can deduce where you need to change. Then we’ll learn the seven steps of value separation to help move the old habits of individuation by conflict (I am my struggle against enemies) to individuation by harmony (I am my smooth loving success with my soul). We’ll conclude with a helpful guided meditation to remember what it’s like to be free.
