Daemons to Conquer

1        The Judge, Jury and Executioner - used to punish.
2        The Rule Keeper - holder of most the should(s).
3        The Good Mother - hover and tries to protect everyone.
4        The Good Father - must always provide no matter what.
5        The Monk - prefers to live in caves but come out to act spiritual.

8        The Philanthropist - gives whether or not it is prudent.

Quote:          "You are more than conquerors through Him who Loves you."                   Christian Bible
Within each one of us lives many personas, many influences, any one of which can create grace or havoc in our lives. When grace blooms in our lives, we hardly ever pay much attention. When havoc reigns we begin our search for answers. The obvious is rarely ever the answer. When the first blush of an answer to life’s questions is accepted as the solution, havoc (which could be capitalized) may slink away in order to return with grace on its arm.  But if the first, or even the second blush, is not the answer, then behind the havoc is a daemon. It has only gone underneath to change its face.  It will resurface, and resurface until the daemon causing the havoc has been conquered.   

These daemons live deep within our consciousness in the home of cause, exerting their influence on how our lives turn out. They are extremely obedient to the law of Cause and Effect. They have great parties with much enjoyment every time we encounter one of the effects they caused behind our backs. Secretly, though, their greatest desire is to be conquered so that they can enjoy the role they were designed to perform. They were designed to be servants of the Higher Self, but usurped that authority a long, long time ago and now act as though they are the masters of our destinies.

I have identified some of the daemons I’ve met and somewhat tamed. It is not an exhaustive list, but it will provide food for thought and hopefully start you on the road to finding and conquering your own daemons.  Because progress is always personal, each human being must at some point in the career of being human get to the stage where the limits encountered in life must be conquered and then begin to live in an unlimited fashion.  Because it has not been done by anyone we know does not make it impossible; all that makes it is a goal.  Being unlimited means having a strong healthy body in which to do anything one wants to do, while staying on the path of harmlessness. That is to say, doing no harm to any creature while satisfying the desires of one’s heart.

We are our own knights in shining armor.

F.A.I.T.H

Today at church, Unity Atlanta North , we incorporated several songs and prayers from the world religions. Although we are a community seated in the traditions of Jesus Christ, we embrace tenets from other religions in our services. It warmed my heart to be with a group of believers who are interested in taking the best of the Faith Traditions and learning how to grow our consciousness with them in mind. So I got to thinking about faith. Faith is described in the Christian Bible as the “evidence of things not seen.” Evidence is the foundation of our scientific community. Proof must always be something tangible, quantifiable and solid. But faith is none of those. Knowing in the heart is not something one can measure. It is not found on a balance sheet; nor can it be used to bolster one’s stock portfolio. So why mention it at all? I am within a larger group of humans who believe faith is all we need to have. We hold it as a self evident truth that we are spirit first, the...

A Little More Peace

Image
I seek within the realms of Peace for he who is called the Prince of Peace. He answers my search with the voice of loving assurance saying; ‘I am with you always, even in the midst of anger and fright.’ He wraps me with the gentle carefulness within the bright garments of his heart light and speak words of Peace to my anxious soul. He said: “this moment I give you the Peace you knew in the beginning, when your only consciousness was that of Oneness and Light.” Sheltered within the love of my brother and friend, I experience anew the boundless love of my Creator God. The cresting anger, which loomed so large as to almost overwhelm my world, begins its transformation before my opened mind. It reveals for my knowing the seat of the frustration which started its onslaught. The idea of Oneness became distorted into a need for conformity. The warmth from Peace teaches me that to be joined it is not necessary to be alike. Being joined is to honor the bonds of love and give respect to ...

I am

When Moses encountered the “burning bush” in the wilderness, he asked it who it was. He asked the question after the speaking burning bush told him to go free the slaves in Egypt. First of all you or I would have high tailed it away from the fire, or at least when from words started coming from the fire. We would have known better than to stay and have a conversation. But let us say that Moses was brave and he held a conversation with something not have human form. Okay! I am granting that he spoke to something. I am also granting that that something told who it was. What I am not granting is the reporting as told in the Bible. The exact quote from the bush in that book is “I am That I am. Here is the exact quote from the King James Version, “ And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am : and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. ” Even my online grammar checker does not agree with that. But I have more qualms than that. The q...
