‘evil spirits’ and ‘the devil’

Some people are afraid of  ‘evil spirits’ and/or a very powerful ‘devil’.  In this article, I’ll share my current understandings about these topics.  My views are shaped by ancient as well as contemporary information.

I put single quotation marks around those terms because of often inaccurate meanings attached to them.  I don’t capitalize the terms because they are relatively weak and confused – in the case of ‘evil spirits’ – or don’t exist, as with ‘the devil’.

Instead of ‘evil spirit’, I prefer the term ‘imbalanced entity.  There are immature, mentally ill, and imbalanced humans on earth, right?  The same appears to be true of beings in some other planes of existence.  I use the word ‘entity’ since these imbalanced beings may come from other planets and dimensions.

Instead of ‘the devil’, I prefer the term . . . nothing.  That is, I don’t have a more accurate term for ‘devil’ because, based on everything I know, there is no such thing.  I will provide my evidence about this later in the article.  That concept was used to scare people into being good but how well has that worked?  A more powerful way to help people remember who they are, why there are here, Who walks beside them always, and how they can live accordingly.

I discuss these topics since people often ask about them.  Some religious teachings are designed to scare people for control and income reasons.  Fear-based teachings – that the original founders of religions would never recognize – have traumatized many people.  My advice?  Don’t dwell upon ‘evil spirits’, ‘the devil’, or any other fearful topics.  Instead, focus on good, God, love, light.  Every moment, choose higher energies /  emotions / ways of being: peace, joy, hope, gratitude, compassion, enthusiasm, and enlightenment.

Death of the human form doesn’t automatically transform unevolved and imbalanced beings into evolved and balanced ones.  That process would negate free will and learning from past choices.  The personality and level of consciousness carry over as postmaterial (so-called ‘deceased’) persons continue to learn, grow, and evolve.  This explains much about imbalanced entities who once lived on earth.

Imbalanced Entities
Regarding imbalanced entities, there are some reports based on first person experience that ‘evil spirits’ can negatively influence people on earth.  Some people believe they have been physically and/or emotionally harmed by imbalanced entities.  I’m not discounting their reports or minimizing the stresses they felt.

However, many of the cases I’ve heard of involve people who were intoxicated, addicted, very interested in the topic, very fearful of evil, and/or involved in satanic rituals.  As such, there may be a factor of opening oneself to lower energies and consciously or unconsciously inviting them in.

Original Aramaic meanings for the word ‘evil’ were the same as ‘devil’: wild, chaotic and imbalanced energy.  Millennia ago, it was recognized by wise teachers that love, peace, gratitude, joy and enthusiasm are the highest energy emotions.  Those who focus on their eternal nature and oneness with Source have nothing to fear from imbalanced persons – whether living on earth or elsewhere – who are fearful, less evolved, and relatively weak.

‘the devil’
Notions about this supposedly red-skinned, long-tailed, and horned fellow are hopelessly mired in ancient misunderstandings.  As a youth, I remembered hearing Old Testament accounts about ‘the devil’ wrestling with ‘God’.  Other stories described them wagering whether Job could be tempted.  Those seemed strange to me them and even more so now.  I hope you realize they were metaphors – teaching tools for people in different times and cultures – not actual renditions like a news report.

Why did I use single quotations with the word ‘God’?

  1. Ancient concepts depicted a huge, white haired and bearded fellow who sits upon a throne way up in the sky. These images from around 600 B.C. came directly from Greek and Roman mythology.  Yet some people in the 21st century accept them without question.  This ‘God’ is judgmental, potentially vengeful, and – despite being all loving – will condemn or allow much of His creation to suffer in a fiery eternal hell.  These descriptions of the Creator and Sustainer of all life are hopelessly ignorant and fear-based.
  2. L.G.O.D. is one of my current favorite terms for the Light / Universal Intelligence / One Mind. (to learn my other terms, see article #89 at SoulProof.com)  Look at the sky on a clear night and realize this is just a fraction of all that exists.  The acronym E.L.G.O.D. stands for the Energizing, Loving, Guiding, Organizing, and Designing presence and power.  That presence is behind all life, IS all life, and we each are integral, infinite, eternal, and beloved parts of It.

Why am I discussing my understandings of G.O.D. in article about ‘the devil’?  Because, by definition, there is no formidable evil and negative power that can oppose the Ground of All Being.  This realization helps us evolve beyond ‘God and the devil’ wrestling mentality and accompanying fears and misunderstandings.

‘Devil’ and related words – ‘satan, lucifer, beelzebub, prince of darkness’, etc. – are still used by very conservative and fundamentalist religious denominations and cults to describe a supposed embodiment of evil that is nearly as powerful as Creator.  Original Aramaic meanings for the concept of ‘devil’ included ‘wild, chaotic and imbalanced energy.’  During the Dark Ages, images of ‘the devil’ morphed into an actual powerful being opposed to the Light.  A huge, red and powerful man with a tail, horns, and pitchfork is still considered to be real by some people.

The idea of a literal ‘devil’ was, however, never seriously considered by mainstream theologians, the majority of religious denominations, and most religions.  While it may be convenient to blame your or the world’s problems on a huge diabolical being, contemporary evidence does not support its existence.  Is it just a coincidence that ‘devil’ is ‘lived’ spelled backwards?

I do believe in angels and there is extensive firsthand evidence for them.  So it’s at least theoretically possible there is such a thing as a fallen angel.  However, even such a relatively powerful being – when compared to humans – has little influence on those who are firmly aligned with E.L.G.O.D.  This is especially so when you realize that you are part of this phenomenon right now, and live accordingly.

Soul-utions: Holistic Recommendations
To prevent encountering stuck PMPs and imbalanced entities . . .

  1. Optimally care for yourself holistically. See my book Radiant Wellness to learn how.
  2. Do not invite them into your life, even as a parlor game. Note: this is different from facilitating visits from ‘departed’ loved ones via an evidential medium, the SoulPhone technology, and other ways discussed in article #9 at SoulProof.com.
  3. Remember who you are, live accordingly, and don’t spend any time thinking or worrying about ‘evil spirits’.
  4. Shield yourself daily with prayers and affirmations. Visualize a cocoon of white light that protects you and only lets in good and loving energies.
  5. Focus on steps (a) – (f) below as part of your self-care program.

For those who may have already attracted imbalanced entities, I suggest:

  1. Pray for guidance and assistance. Establish relationships with the Light, your angels, guides, and master teachers – or whatever term you prefer for these higher energy beings. As many people can attest, ‘Seek and it shall be given to you, ask and you shall find.’  So seek and ask.
  2. Avoid alcohol and drug intoxication. During his near-death experience, George Ritchie MD saw intoxicated humans surrounded by ‘spirits’ who were addicted while on earth.
  3. Don’t let yourself perseverate on lower energy emotions such as hatred, anger, bitterness, sadness, and hopelessness. When you find yourself focusing on these, mentally say ‘STOP’ and consciously choose to pay more attention to positive and happy thoughts. To learn more in a humorous way, search for the video on ‘Stop! and Bob Newhart’.  (Laughing is a great way to release old accompanying fears and anger about being taught such rubbish.)  Also, see the A.R.T. technique article at com.
  4. In the name of love, exert your will and forcefully say: “You must leave now. You are from the Light, I am from Light.  All life comes from Love and Light.”
  5. Pray, meditate, spend time in nature, attend an open-hearted church or spiritual center, and serve others.
  6. Avoid any addiction involving excess gambling, pornography, sexual promiscuity, materialism, over-emphasis on appearing youthful, etc. That is important for you personally and removes the possibility of attracting lower energy beings who may try to ‘get their fix’ by attaching to you.
  7. Fine-tune yourself holistically using information in my book Radiant Wellness.
  8. Smudge your house by burning sage or sweet grass and praying. If necessary, engage the services of a minister, shaman, or energy practitioner who clears stuck energies.

I hope this article addresses your concerns and fears about lower energy beings.  As always, the best advice is to learn who you are, why you are here, and Who walks beside / within you always.  Then live a life filled with love, peace, joy, service, gratitude, enthusiasm, clarity, and power.
