I have written something and want to post it somewhere. It's not related to anything else written here and it's not directed at anyone here either. It's just some ramblings. ******* BTW, I didn't get to write about the evil spirits question because I forgot and so I just agreed with you. We have talked some about the existence of evil spirits and I've told you about my experiences. Some anyhow. I think that evil spirits try to manipulate the unaware into doing things they may not otherwise. And of course they would be things that would not be good for the person doing them. Sudden impulses could be subliminal suggestions by mischievous spirits. Even something as simple as eating. It could be suggested through some other sense to go eat a lot. That could be called an eating disorder if the person obeys the impulse regularly. I personally believe that much self destructive behavior is prompted by suggestions from spirits. After all 1/3rd of the angels in heaven were cast out of heaven along with satan and they do evil things all the time. That's what they want to do too. Once a spirit becomes "familiar" then they are a part of the persons life. Even without the person being aware of it. A pattern of behavior could become ingrained and the truth is it was actually subtly taught to the person by a spirit. As that spirit works to mess up a persons life. We also have good angels all around us too. Doing just the opposite I hope! And there are twice as many of them! And both sides are locked in a struggle. The evil side to control us and the good side to help us. The deciding factor is our free will. And also what we choose to believe is true. Because the evil side always attempts to deceive, trying to get us to believe lies. Actually using our own power to believe to harm us, when we believe bad things. The power to believe (faith/doubt) is strong and is a force. So we actually decide in the end which side controls our lives. The angels don't try to "control" like the evil side because they respect that we have "free will" given to us. But the evil side WILL try to gain control of our thought processes and out power of believing and use it to harm us. Then teach us to harm ourselves! And we'll keep doing that unless we take control back and unlearn the destructive patterns that have become ingrained.
