Yes, demons exist. Demons are ancient beings or "shells" left over from previous universes according to some occult scholars. I'm glad someone has finally joined me in saying it. I have been talking about this for YEARS on my Dreamwidth blog. https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/tag/demons That said, reacting hysterically and running with open arms into a greedy religion's astral pyramid will nearly guarantee you remain as spiritually retarded and demon-infested as you were before. I will make a long story short. I am a former atheist and eternal skeptic I always maintain everything I say could be wrong. A wandering entity who I think may have been a god said to me "If you want to cast the demon out of the boy, then you must love the boy more than you hate the demon inside of him". After much meditation, I believe the entity is saying it is OK to hate the demon (especially since it is torturing the boy by obsessing or possessing him) but the foundation of love you feel for the kid has to be much stronger. By building on the good within yourself and within the boy, you become powerful enough to send the demon packing. John Carter does not have dumb readers that I know of so I know the lot of you will find much food for thought here. The reason I am fairly certain the "love the boy more than you hate the demon" statement did not come from my own brain is I am not that bright.

Many Thanks to the Wonderful & Eminent Sir John for hosting my humble DOOM-wares for Inspection by his lovely audience (i.e. Denizens of Barsoom). Deeply grateful especially for all the patience in helping me Temper the DOOM with greater precision!

Per Usual, the DOOM was Smelted Hot & Fresh off of the Furnace & nothing at all was held back in terms of gloom & despair. May You, Dear Readers, All have a Most DOOM-full read!

No demons here, that's for the semitic peoples and their offspring.

Väsen, yes. (Sorry, can't translate it to english, there's no idiomatic equivalent.)

Powrs, yes.

Some hinder, some help, some do both or neither at different times. The basic rule is, don't bother them and they won't bother you. If you do deal with them, always uphold your end of the bargain: to renege is to give them power over you.

And show such respect as each is due - respect with its meaning in germanic/teutonic kultur: appreciation of ability and the honouring of someone for their deeds.

Not, as among the semites and latins and such, deferrence to power. Never that. Never bow to power.

Abraham was ready to murder his child on the command fo his "god".

No celtic, no slavic, no Nordic or sámi or ugric or fenno-scandic or teutonic deity ever demanded that. How could they? Only a slave-mentality culture where some think they are set to rule and others to follow because of a name or a word could behave like that.

If there are what you call demons and djinn, they only have power over those who follow the god who created the master of demons in the first place.

To free men, daemonic forces have no power.

That's what Dostoevsky thought about the radicals of 19th C Russia and the mass murders that happened after the bolshevik revolution proved him right.

It's all fun and games until you need an old priest and a young priest.

Materialism robs meaning from the universe and is absurd on its face. Christ has defeated the Serpent though he goes out kicking and screaming until the end.

"Be careful. The moment you start talking you create a verbal universe, a universe of words, ideas, concepts and abstractions, interwoven and inter-dependent, most wonderfully generating, supporting and explaining each other and yet all without essence or substance, mere creations of the mind. Words create worlds, reality is silent." ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

That first image is a painting by artist Scott Johnson. It’s the cover to the Rifts Ultimate Edition tabletop RPG book.

Two of the best writers on Substack nice job. As fairly secular man I must say a lot of the stuff I bear witness to seems Biblical in a sense. You guys forgot to tell us how to kill these bastards though. Am thinking something in the realm of a Plasma Rifle in the 40 watt range? 😁

For the record, I believe demons exist, and the idea that they're orchestrating the events that have led us to this point in time seems plausible, if not downright probable.

But I'll propose a counter-argument (perhaps I can't completely abandon my Enlightenment sensibilities): what if we're conjuring demons because we just can't believe that our fellow man can be that evil on his own? I ask partly as a thought expwriment, but also because the practicalities of demon-slaying require a somewhat clear picture of the adversary.

I thought so... I mean, I've always suspected the hidden realms at work, especially so since 2020 when the lid came off, and I've sensed it had an alien source of some kind. According to your blistering essay, too hot to touch at times, that alien doesn't necessarily mean off-world - although it may be - but the hidden hand behind man's malevolence. Watching this nightmare unfold over the past four years and then becoming aware of how it's been true for centuries, millennia, has been shocking to the core. So thank you for elucidating the matter with such accuracy and energy.

What makes entities such as demons, if they exist, supernatural?

Even if this is a larp, the end result is warranted. When a pedophile dressed like a Slaaneshi daemonette pleads for their life, saying that it doesn't worship satan, that it isn't possessed by evil spirits. . . that is worse. That a fully sober person would commit abominations upon a child, it is a mercy to call that the work of a demon, for it gives a purpose to the suffering in some small twisted way.

"Of course only those possessed by evil spirits would rape a child, no human does that. To the holy execution chamber, with all due haste."

I knew it was going to be a long night. So I ordered long, tall Sally and a bottle of djinn.

A very timely post from an esoteric Islamic perspective.
