Nice and useful, just what I like about Buddhism. 

 interesting how an 11th century practiced was re-invented as NLP.

How about an NLP reframe - interesting how an 11th century practice is modern and current in terms of it's application.

Thanks.

 

Some of these powerful demons seem to be thought forms projected from a seemingly powerless state at a young age.

 

Then we integrate them back.

Associating this with the devil, is well, the devil!

chopsticks were invented during the shang dynasty

because Confucious associated knives with aggression-

there for the chopsticks were used at the table.

 

do you believe this?

A lovely wise sentiment which is relevant in this context.

I believe there are not demons. The are people like the Buddha with life experiences that are different than normal. Life is supposed to be like the life of a bird and perfect. Any deviation from this leads to a pondering of why life is different than that. It is not bad to ponder but people can find it difficult and always seem to want to keep occupied.

Why would i want to feed my demons they have taken enough from me and ruined my life. Im talking actualy entities i have seen.

I have been under demonic oppresion...the best way to sum it up. But i think these entities have been abducting me since i was a toddler or a baby even...after all my research into alien abduction shows that abduction is a life long thing and if your seeing them then most likely your an abductee... i have other reasons to belive so also.

It was only in 2013 when thanks to mindfulness meditation i started to over come my porn addiction, that summer i managed to go three weeks no fap and i woke up in sleep paralysis with a grey alien standing at the foot of my bed.

Another experience i had was a year and a half later when as i was waking up i felt energy being drained from my left arm, i tunred my head over and before i opened my eyes i saw a reptilian entity, in what im guessing is the astral plane, arm outstretched holding my hand with a big creepy grin on its face.

Ive done silly simon before and the first big visual to hit me was what looked like an alien language, although i cant remember it properly now. But its was compicated and vivid nothing my imagination could come up with, this was many years ago before the entity experiences i mentioned. The language was golden, shining in a double helix spinning in a giant void with other strands in the distance and it seemed to go well with the music i was listening to.

The thing it reminded me of though was serpent like in essence a bit like the dollar bill sign $ or just S is serpent like, but more complicated, like if a reptilian alien language existed it would look like that. I think psychadellics can open you up but not necessarily and perhaps they just show you what is already there.

My bloodline is probably cursed.

 I might have found a solution though, although its even harder to believe. After hearing so many near death experiences about Jesus i ended up going to church...long story short i had chritians pray for me and i confessed sins ect ect.

A week later i ended up wrestling with that entity in a dream or out of body and we fell on my bed except my hand was on it, it  seemed pretty short actually and it was wriggling and gyrating...thrusting its hip peversely, i some how called on Jesus and the entity evaporated.

Yep what the actual ****

[BluePhoenix133]

These entities are not some manifestation of my mind because if you look into abduction experiences you will see groups of people being abducted by them...or in one case one guy out of half a dozen and they saw him get abducted. They reported it to the police, took lie detector tests and passed but  the police did not believe them and then he turned up half a week later.~

Many cases like this, be careful i dont think its a good idea to invite a bunch of interdimensional assholes into you life.

Gosh BluePhoenix sorry to read you've had such a hard time. Concerns about what is being dealt with within this process have been raised on old threads and rather then repeat what was written earlier here's the link:

I've found it's best to befriend your demons. If you try to destroy them they multiply and return in greater magnitude because the energy you put out to keep them away only gives them strength.

 

Everyone has them. I think the key is integration

Indeed thats one of the most effective means to subjugate unseen, negative forces, but it not without hazards and risks. 

 

Some, due to confusion, ignorance and sheer ego, have veered into a chasm when they tried to follow this approach. As a very ordinary practitioner, I for one will not dare say i can do this with unwavering confidence.

sounds like several dangerous ideas....

 

Btw, for those in denial of certain beings yet who also proclaim Buddhism - remember the historic Buddha had no problem in seeing various so called invisible yet existing beings of different realms as recorded per well known and respected doctrine.  I'd also be interested to hear from any traditional Buddhist where certain of these dubious practices with demonic forces are suggested per their teachings??

Read the text and follow the links people - it's about one's own inner demons and gods not external beings. Eternal beings aren't denied either, but it's all about one's own internal patterns. A peruse at http://taramandala.org will see if it resonates or not.

If Jung's quote below makes one uncomfortable then this sort of work may not be for you:
"There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

I guess the devil's in the details . 

 

I have little expertise in these matters but can't help but think in most cases hypochondriacs shouldn't read medical dictionaries, those obsessed with aliens and abductions should stay away from reading books and becoming 'experts' in the matter.  It's possible that whatever the cause of the phenomena, giving it more attention keeps it going.
