What Are Demons?

Someone asked me the following question, "I have a question that I have been trying to find an answer to: to you, what are demons? I mean do they really exist or are they some spirit beings who have agreed to give you that experience??? I have come across this weird theory of the devil not really being bad but an angel who is authorized by god to provide you with this sort of experience...I have difficulties relating to that..."

Here is my answer:

Okay, there is only One Power, One Presence, and that is God. That's why it is said that God Is. And there is nothing else. There is no such thing as a power opposite to God because then God would be a contradiction. God is love, and that's all there is. Everything else is an illusion. If we are created in the image and likeness of God, then there is nothing that can be against us. However, we can pretend that we are not one with God and experience all sorts of what could be labeled unexplainable experiences.

Spirit uses whatever vehicle we need to get us to God. But we are not at the mercy of any evil Spirits or Devils. And the theory of a devil being an angel who is authorized by god, can you imagine your loving Creator authorizing something to scare you? That's not a God that is a barbarian!

All I can say is, I don't have any answers but one thing I know for sure is that God loves me unconditionally and God would never send me any kind of evil or suffering. That's how I feel about the devil business and everything else in between. Hope this might have helped. My book, What Happens When You Let God go into full detail about our experience here, which is based on the teachings of A Course in Miracles, which is only one Path out of many.
