Did you ever find that demons like to hang out with other demons?
I consider TG a demon.
I consider relentless depression a demon.
I consider worthlessness a demon.
I consider extreme perfectionism a demon.
I consider paranoia a demon.
I consider faith an angel.
I consider a friend an angel.
I consider a spouse an angel.
I consider a child an angel.
I consider good health an angel.
I consider intelligence an angel.
I consider hope an angel.
I consider love an angel.
Yesterday my neighbor's brother died at 52 of Lou Gehrig's disease. The last months of his life he communicated by blinking. He would tell his children he loved them by blinking at them. The final days he could still think but could not breathe on his own or blink his eyes.
I have more angels and demons in me than I listed. But the angel list is always longer than the demons.
It is great to look the demons in the eyes and see how small they really are!
I thank the people here at Susan's for helping me see how small the demons are.
angels, demons.. two sides of a coin, friend. Intelligence becomes snobbish elitism. Depression becomes empathy and compassion. It is all flow.. sometimes, one can reach a place where you can see it all dance around you.. all movement.. all not you.. you are the stillness that watches.
Peace, Tara
good and evil must coincide
without evil, how would you know what good is
without sadness, how could you appreciate happiness
and without ugliness, what would beuty be

We tend to project our own expectations and fears...
Something I posted elsewhere over a year ago, just before finally surrendering:
I think I'm finally accepting that I DO have a demon - or angel - that needs to be addressed. I just can't avoid it anymore. I can't wait for it to go away. I can't wait for a miracle. She (I like to personify things) sorta just evoked herself, plunked her butt down on my keyboard, and is demanding, "so what are you gonna do about me? huh? what?"
But I can't decide whether to strangle her, or make love, lol.Kate
interesting wording...if accurate

What is hell without the hope, the dream, of heaven?
paraphrased from one of the early issues of Neil Gaiman's, `The Sandman`.

Dear Kate,
I really like Wendy (she makes me feel good) and I really hate Wendy (she is causing a lot of trouble)!

I prefer not to look at the world through a lens of good vs. evil. I prefer justice and injustice.
Demons and angels alike are capable of dealing out justice, in one form or another. The terms good and evil are losing their edge, as they were born in an infantile world. Today, all that matters is what is just and what is not.
And believe me, justice has nothing to do with law.
I believe that the reason I have been dealt the hand I have in this life is based on my deeds in times long past. It only makes sense that I am a result of recylced human megnetism, aligned again with a mind and body. Subconcious imprints remain on that particular strip of mangetism (visions, intuition, dreams and realizations of purpose) which lead me to a series of various up and down moments throughout life, which ultimately lead not to good or evil, but harmony, which sees justice with clarity.
Whether you achieve harmony in this life or the next is irrelevant, and it's also inevitable. Whether you want to call it heaven or species-wide nirvana doesn't matter, the point is that the human race is on a spiritual spin-cycle, and it a very short time, we've approached our dawning as a true force.
So understand that everything you feel has a purpose, and that the ultimate goal is justice and harmony. Think about it!

my whole life seems to be about experiencing both sides
