Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

To begin with, I'd like to say that yes...demons are, in fact, real. Maybe not exactly in a religious sense, however.

Can we see them? Yes...and no. They do not personally make themselves visible to everyone. Rather, they hide from everyone except for a select certain few. As far as why these demons do so, I have yet to imagine.

So what do they do? How do they impact us in our lives? Do they influence us, bringing us closer to hell and away from the grace of a higher power? The answer is no. Instead, one could say that they bring hell closer to the individual. Once a demon finds a "victim", that demon latches onto them and does not let go. It sits there, on the inside...slowly working its magic on the vessel....

It doesn't posses the person's body. It focuses directly on the human soul, squeezing it, twisting it. This is an attempt to put the vessel through absolute agony spiritually. Unfortunately, several demons may occupy the same body, all of them sitting...twisting...hurting the soul at the same time. This combined influence is easily recognized...

But that is only when it is too late.

It takes a trained eye to find these poor souls. Why is that? Because these people will see them as nothing more than a personal problem that's hurting them emotionally and mentally. As a result, they walk among us, keeping them locked up and doing their best to not show us that they are slowly being killed by these creatures.

So I ask you, please...take a look at all of your friends. For their sake. They may laugh with you at a joke...
...sit down and watch a movie with you...
...even smile for some reason, even if it doesn't seem like they should.

That does NOT mean that they are not going through a personal hell on the inside, suffering day in, day out. Even the happiest looking person can be going through hell in their heart. That same person who laughs with you and goes to the movies? They may cry themselves to sleep at night.

That person who sits there smiling? If you take a look under the sleeves of a sweatshirt, you may find tiny red lines decorating their arms.

Look into their eyes. If you look closely, you can see that the light may be shimmering, They may be able to hide their burden with their actions, but the eyes are a window. Listen to their voices, as well. A small hint of what's inside may reveal itself when they've let their guard down. If you feel like your friends are going through this pain, encourage them to talk with someone. I don't mean a psychiatrist or anything like that. Even if they sit down and talk to you, or their parents, or anyone...that will help.

They may be resistant. That's why you must be persistent in return. However, if you still can't get them to share after a while, don't keep trying. That will only make things worse.

Please, do yourself a favor. Find out if anybody you know is suffering from these demons. Do your best to help them try to overcome them....

...You may just save their life....
