the method of demons pt. 3

The method of demons is tricky.
They keep you focused on self.
It sounds like a good thing to do;
unfortunately, it has its problems.

You keep your focus self-centered;
they can actually use that
to box you up and seal you
and keep you anxious, depressed,
and possibly suicidal.
Not a nice thing to experience.
Be patient with yourself,
stay hopeful, carry on,
but here's good solution -
something to slowly work on.

What's the solution then?
Unfocus yourself off of self
to get you outside of yourself.
Some people walk outside.
Some people pray inside
to get their focus on God.
(Or maybe just pick up a book.
TV? youtube? Facebook?
What the heck I know
about what gets you out?
Maybe you should laugh.
Look at me, I'm funny.
Don't you find me funny?
I am very funny.
Dammit, laugh at me!
Oh well, suit yourself.)

Get out, get out, get out.
Give yourself a break.
Forget about yourself
and leave it all behind.
Root yourself in God,
your family, your friends.
Your self will be there waiting
when you come back for it.

Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
You really have nothing to fear
but your self.
It's just not the place to stay rooted
when demons get all in your face.

Call me Mr. Johnny. I'm a johnny on the spot. I buy some cookies, daily, and give them to the poor. Some people save their lives while I just give them cookies. I don't see why not. The poor don't seem to mind. I also have a demon. I call him Mr. Bitter. I used to call him Superman. But now, I just ignore him, at least, the best I can. It's bad inside his fantasy, and I'm no demonologist. I'm way too simple for that, and so, I just buy cookies. Am I very friendly? Not exactly, no. I don't stay and chat. I just hand out cookies. I guess I have a purpose. It's true it often changes. Sometimes it's five dollars, but, for now, it's cookies. I even have some cigarettes, if cookies aren't your thing. Some homeless ask for both.

God's mercy

What an attack it was, the attack that happened yesterday. This morning, it soon resumed, before I had my coffee. That's pretty freaking early. I tried an approach which helped. Demons are messengers; angel means 'messenger.' If the angel is good, it only reports the truth, and then it goes away. If the angel is bad, it stays and stays and stays, feeding you half-truths and lies. My approach: tell on the messenger. The demon would speak it's message, and I would relay it to Mary. I have a Marian shrine with magnets on my fridge. So I would 'speak' to the fridge. Any word from the demon was reported straight to Mary no matter how sick it was. Get that venom out! Don't hold that poison inside. No matter how evil the message, I transferred the burden to her. It works. I told on the demon, and Mary heard it all. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Undeterred, they continued while I attended the Mass. It's cheap - you try to stay open to receive the grace of God ...

justice

There can be an awful karma to demon justifications, all their rationalizations for why the do what they do (to you). But karma isn't true - it isn't really justice according to a priest. Justice is a virtue, and virtues build you up, and make you happy, healthy. They don't tear you down. That's what demons do, whenever they're around (which is all too often). Yes, yes, we speak of justice as like a bloody sword. To some extent that's true. But justice is a virtue, and virtues aren't destroyers. I was glad to hear the priest. He taught me something new. Justice is a virtue. It's not what demons do to you.
