Fear is always a gift to the darkness.
Back story: I continue to be attacked by demons in my sleep from time to time. Its not uncommon.
A couple nights ago it was a giant floating snake that came slithering into my room. And it hit me: the whole goal of this exercise is to create fear then feed on it, and instantly I felt no fear. I projected light from my forehead and then heart and at peace.
In the end faith and relaxation are the antidotes. These are learned and learnable skills, which more or less comprise the spiritual path, at least at some stage in it. I don’t know where I am between A and B. I don’t know what or where A is or B. But that is the part I am traversing now, as well as I can.
There is a secondary context I will share later.
