Demons aren't real buddy. You are!

@KovalainenFanBoy how long did you spend compiling that never ending Union Jack post?

Demons want you to believe they arent real.  As long as you believe them, they will tell you that THEIR thoughts are YOUR thoughts.  This is how they push you to extreme acts like suicide.  Suicide is their ultimate victory.  You have nothing to gain from self harm, just like you have nothing to gain from psychiatry. 

this sounds like a copout to me. passing the buck to some higher power whispering in your ear and then saying "it wasn't me.. it was the demon"..  i mean.. this can be rephrased.. like drug addicts who say they 'have a monkey on their back telling them to do heroin' and they need to get that monkey off their back.  

the point is no one knows and anyone who says they do know is selling something. if imagining demons it's a thing that helps you get through some shit and helps frame the battle you're having with yourself so that you can identify the problems and exorcise them then go for it.. but creating fictions and imaginary scenarios has potential to become a delusion that further pushes a person away from reality and into their own world as a means of coping with reality or ignoring reality. reality is too hard so make up some powerful demonic nemesis to frame the reality you exist in and pit yourself against it.. this might be comforting for a while but it's entirely possible to disappear into this make believe world of battling a demon or whatever and further estranging oneself from reality. 

i mean.. i guess that's ok. reality is hard sometimes. creating a way to exist in it is something a lot of people do subconsciously because to fathom all of reality and the barrage of information at our fingertips complete w/endless atrocities etc is confusing as in wtf am i supposed to do w/all this information and how do i exist and do the things i want to do all the while knowing that somewhere a soldier is walking around w/a baby impaled on a bayonet and there is a garbage patch in the ocean as big as a country? 

anyway.... david foster wallace often referred to his depression as a black sail taking him over. i suspect other people have similar ways to describe it. but overall it's described as the "tyrannical oppression of brain chemistry". 

“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”

if one is going to make up a story about depression and demon whispers etc i suggest writing it all down and seeing how it looks on paper.. which is maybe what this thread is about but i think it's important to realize that it's probably unique to the author and others might say something similar but conceptualize those whispers as something else. 

i don't know what i'm talking about though and i'm just some fucking guy on the internet.

edit: i recommend watching this if you can. it's pretty interesting and sad and crazy w/regards to childhood trauma and blocking it out 

Most people don't know this well documented fact, but the online media comment sections are mostly filled with real life demons spreading the bad word.

I would NEVER harm such a precious thread... you think me a MONSTER? Perchance you think I too am possessed by Satan's minions?

do you really not remember the abyss-staring-back-at-you that is the 'What If I Told You' thread?

Maybe it really was a Mandela Effect and it never existed. Wouldn't that be something

Why would there be so much ancient art depicting demons if they arent real?  The beings we see in our peripheral vision may not be hallucinations at all, but real creatures that are hiding from view.

"Ancient Alien Demon Theorists say a resounding YES!"

but really.. humans have been imagining all kinds of things and writing/drawing/painting them forever. it doesn't mean those things are real. i mean.. ya know.. there's a thing called fiction.

Real? What is, 'Real'???

Qi is put in different forms if this helps 杀气(kill qi?) 死气 (Death qi) 阴气 (Yin qi) 阳气 (Yang qi)(天气 地气 玄气 黄气) these four Qis are used as gradings more: 天地玄黄 Taoists uses 灵气 and might use 星辰之力 wu zhe uses 真气 or 刚气 Buddhists use 佛力 monsters uses 妖气 ghosts use 阴气 and 杀气 Demons/ devils use 魔气 and there's another type of demons that use you to become more powerful: the more u think they are powerful the more they get powerful. If you believe in something they can't win

Ive never done LSD

I remember doing a hefty dose of mushrooms with some acquaintances on an island in Thailand and this one dude started going south into bad trip territory saying he was turning into a demon. Saying he could feel two horns growing out from his skull, he was rubbing his hands there saying he could feel them (the horns) getting larger. He was running his hands over his head convinced he was turning into a minion of Satan. Panic started to set in. The darkness of the Devil was almost upon him. At first I thought it was funny because I didn’t know if he was just messing about, when I realised he was being serious I started to cool him down. Steadily talking reason to him, reassuring him, calming him. No doubt my words pulled him back from the edge, from the precipice of 6 hours of a ghost train loop through a real life zoetrope Hell. I’ve been there twice. To Hell and back. But I survived such demon trickery. The beasts wanted to eat my soul and flesh, but I defeated them. Nobody like me around to help them. Just me. Alone. And going insane in my own private Hell. The drug will wear off, the drug will wear off, the drug will wear off. That was the mantra, the faintest whisper of sanity that I told myself through the maelstrom. The only glimmer of light in an all encompassing satanic whiteout.
