The Devil was like the Bogeyman: Seriously!

Leave a comment

I have to get this off my chest! My intent is not to persuade you into believing spiritual things, rather to give a brief description on how my knowledge as a child concerning the “Devil” caused me to be frightened and paranoid as an adult. I will also talk about how I’m reversing the effects this had on one of my most valued assets, my brain.

I will explain it in bullets:

The devil and a his demons are out to get me!…

  • I would be afraid to go home some nights and be in my room alone as a small child. Tell me is this the proper way that a child should perceive life let alone any human being.
  • I would look over my shoulder constantly out of paranoia as if something were going to reach out and grab me.
  • I would pray ferociously so that the “devil and his demons” wouldn’t steal me away
  • I practiced Christianity for all the wrong reasons and let fear drive my “belief” in God.

Reversing these Effects through realization

  • Its taken a few years but realizing the Pure and unadulterated power my mind has. Has allowed me to harness my focus on being positive and realizing that as a child my imagination ran rampant with these thoughts of the “devil” because of how and what I was being taught. Even more so at the age I was being taught these things.
  • Basic realization that I have the power to control my own mind and the thoughts that flow in and out of it. Regardless we apparently have 50,000-70,000 thoughts a day so it keeps me busy.
  • Realizing that the light in which satan and his spawn was given to me at a young age was inappropriate and I have the irreversible power of choice.
  • Being thankful, having Joy and love in my life is more powerful than losing sleep over the devil that was portrayed like a bogeyman to me at such a young age.

The trend here comes from the realization that whatever it may be that has kept you and I from progressing as adults can be reversed but only through tough mental work that requires an open mind and a sound heart.
