You have no chance fighting
with the daemons ... but you can smile to them
When i started the book “My relationship with the Devil redefined my life” ... which actually is a very abstract title ...
i had no idea that what i saw in the outside world as daemon forces ... are actually a projection of my thoughts and my inner soul.
But i remembered that i once read a nice story about a monk that was living in the middle of the desert ... to get rid of all the temptations of life.
You see ... the meaning of a life lived as a monk is to identify the illusions of this world and to avoid all those connections ... as in the end the monk to realize that the reason why we were placed in an outside world that looks like we cannot control ... is to take us to the inner world ... everything being just a projection ... for guidance.
The monk remained in silent for years into the desert ... but still after so many, many years he was afraid of ... women. Even seeing the clothes of a lady ... he was already seeing the Devil itself.

He read all the religious materials from the bible to the writings of the saints ... but still had the fear that he will fail as a monk because of this temptation for women.
In the outside world he loved ... the ladies, but all those persons ruined his life ... and the only chance he had left after a life spent as that was to become ... a monk. But the temptation remained inside of him.
It was like the alcohol for the ones addicted to it ... or the drugs for the ones that loves them.
But even in the middle of the desert ... the Devil was laughing of him ... cause caravans were coming from nowhere ... going to nowhere ... and they went close to his little tent ... and he was seeing women again and again.
The monk was praying to God day and night to get rid of this temptation ... and in the end ... when the pray was over ... he was paralyzed for 4 years.
He could not use his legs, his arms .... and nothing related to
his body.
Was still alive ... his soul was in his body ... but the body
itself was useless.
But ... guess what?!
When he was closing his eyes he was visualizing all the women from his life ... and all the pleasures lived with them. He had no body to use for such pleasures ... but the desire remained inside of him.
And the monk ... in a short moment of awaking ... realized that on the path of spiritual evolution ... even with the help of the supreme intelligence that paralyzed him ... could not get rid of the Devil ... or maybe i should say ... the illusion. The temptation was not in the outside world ... but inside of

him.
Reality could not be changed ... no matter how much it looked as changed ... unless he was changing for real his innerl world.
The monk had to accept that the temptation itself is not related with the outside world.
It was funny to accept that the so called Devil was not in the
life from outside ... but hidden inside of him ... and became
part of his being.
The Devil ... was him.
It was nothing to do ... but to smile to this inner daemon ... accept it as part of life ... but probably just decide to cut this domination over his life ... and let his beautiful side guide him to the amazing path of spiritual evolution.
For the rest of us, even if we are human beings ... same as the monk was ... maybe the best thing that we can do is to ... keep the right balance between the good and the evil part from us.
... nothing more!
Yes ... we can be daemons ... but also angels ... and all is just a decision.

“And one day ... i just realized that her smile became a beautiful ... therapy for my soul”
Sometimes ... the best thing we could do ... is ... go to a therapist and try to treat our negative side of life.
And it’s quite easy to find a good ... or even a great therapist.
With the power of the internet .. you could choose anyone ...
from any corner of the world ... but we still have the dogmatic concept that someone that goes to the therapist has actually kind of an ... illness.
We don’t understand ... that a therapist could actually be kind of a coach that guide us for a better evolution in life ...
and also let us be dominated of the beautiful side, not only of our dark side.
A close friend of mine told me that when she started the
Faculty of Philosophy ... the dean started his speech
saying ... “To all the new ones in our faculty ... i know you all
have a different kind of mental illness ... and you came to us
just to become your own therapists ... but before meeting
the Angels from the philosophical studies ... you’ll have first

to talk to all the daemons from inside of you”.
But what are the chances for the rest of us ... to heal ourselves ... if we don’t go to a therapist ... or think about studying philosophy at university?!
Well ... let me tell you a greater trick for that ... you could just connect to the vibes of the beautiful nature .... while
walking into the park ... or look at the innocence of children that are less than 7 years old and had not been corrupted yet by the influence of society ... or even easier ... admire the power of the people that have the ability to smile ... and enjoy life ... in a world painted in such a large spectrum of grey colors.
You will laugh of me telling you this ... but that smile could become the best therapy for the soul. Just think about it!

Doctor Robbins was a great therapist from Los Angeles.
He had a life experience as a doctor, after treating thousands of patients that came to him from all over the world.
Was a little bit amazed of meeting Bobby, which was a guy that ... after reading thousands of books of philosophy started to talk about daemons and angels ... which was a little bit weird.
Doctor: Bobby ... listen ... i want to tell me few things about your wife.
Bobby: Can you be more precise?!
Doctor: Yes ... of course ... what does she do that is driving you crazy so much and so often?! I need to better understand the dynamic of your relationship.

Doctor: Bobby ... i need to focus a little bit and give me details ... what does she do?! Please for god sake ... give me some details.
Bobby: Well ... that’s the weird part ... she does not do anything at all. Her simple presence is driving me crazy. Doctor: Bobby .... i might tell you something strange .... but
speaking of angels and daemons ... a fancy theory came into my mind ... have you ever thought that you might be the Devil and you just don’t feel comfortable around her because ... in fact ... she’s an angel?!
Bobby: Doctor ... no disrespect ... but do you expect me to pay $1200 an hour and tell me that i am the ... Devil?! Doctor: Well Bobby ... i know is weird ... but we need to explore both sides of the story. Over the weekend i had been to the church and i heard this funny theory at the priest ... but now i realize it was a message that i had to tell yourself.
I am basically a messenger.
Bobby gets annoyed and leave the therapist ... but doctor Robbins just smiles ... shakes his hand and say ... good bye. The doctor knew by such a long time ... that all of us see the evil everywhere around ... but when someone is pointing to us ... explaining that actually the Devil is ... us ... or maybe to be more precise ... that dark side of us ... we totally dislike us.

Imagine a beautiful family ... 3 kids ... very well arranged and a beautiful lady is coming in the life of the husband ...
that decides to not miss the chance of changing and redefining all the aspects of his his life ... with the amazing lady that he just met ... and is fall in love with. Is it moral what is going on?!
Is it really right as the husband to abandon his wife and his 3 kids ... because of the huge temptation for a new life ... that will probably be much better than what he has now?!
And the real question is ... has that lady the right to fuck the energetic field ... with all the connections between its members ... for the illusion of a better tomorrow?!
Well ... i won’t answer ... and just let you meditate over the subject ... but let me ask you about a similar scenario with the little difference that the connection between wife and husband is already fucked?!

Has she the right to ... steal that man?!

the wife that ... unless she redefines the ugly relationship she has with the husband ... she ... or any other lady ... will reappear one day ... and steal that man ... even if he is a married person.
But my real question is ... this 3rd person ... is she a positive of a negative character in the life of that family with 3 kids?! That amazing woman ... just enters into that energetic field of that family and might be in the end a person that is redefining their life forever.
The couple might divorce ... or might decide to restart their lives and try to be happy together.
Both options will have a huge impact on them ... on all of them ... the husband, the wife ... the kids ... but also that lady.
She might not be happy feeling that her new partner is still in connection with his ex wife and the 3 kids ... but she also might realize that her role was a karmic one ... the one of restarting or fucking the connections of a family.
I remember that when i was a kid ... i was hearing my
grandma speaking with her friends ... the other old ladies
that lived on the same street with us ... speaking about a
scenario similar with the one i told you about ... and
saying .... “The Devil entered into their family. Everything will
be fucked up .... unfortunately”.
So ... is the lady ... an angel or a daemon?!
There are many real case scenarios like this ... all around the world ... but we should also keep in mind after defining this situation ... that sometimes ... karma is just playing around with us in many, many situations.
... but the lessons of life must be understood.
