This subject took center stage on the question of soul vs spirit. In today’s world, a daemon is a software program designed to alert the sender of an email that is undeliverable. When my mother got the daemon message, she would call to tell me she had a demon! (tee hee)
There are several other meanings associated with this word. In ancient Greece, theos was the personality of the god and daemon was its activity. Any type of sudden or supernatural power was not attributed to divine intervention. Instead, it was the power that determined a person’s fate. Each person could have their personal daemon. As early as 700 B.C., the philosophy included mortals as lower than gods. Possessing a daemon made them superior to humanity.
A person’s spirit is a limiting energy dedicated to this lifetime. The soul is eternal and bonds with the spirit for each lifetime. It is uncertain how this takes form, but a wounded spirit can detach from the bond. Without the healthy bond to the eternal energy of the soul, the spirit is tethered to the physical body. They are floating on this earth out of survival instinct.
The good daemon, or good spirit, can express influenced by the wounds of the past Giving away all its goodness to others can form energy leaks. The bad daemon, or bad spirit, begins to gain power. With such an influence, the person dominated by the bad spirit hears a voice from within. That voice says you’re a failure and shouldn’t be here anymore. The bad spirit inhibits performance and true alignment. The good spirit spreads goodness at the cost of being unable to hold the positive energy. One’s own story of life is being written by the daemon because the good energy is not sustainable. This is similar to modern software programming around email messaging. It’s time for some messaging around my musings on the subject of daemons:
Humans are a combined creation of a complex system operating as synergy. Without a high level of cooperation, systems can experience dysfunction, failure, or a decrease in performance. The spirit bond to the soul is a feature of the subtle body architecture. A significant shift could go undetected, as the system operates below the level of awareness. Human systems can continue to operate with energy from a distance. A direct bond between the spirit and the soul is not necessary for continued function. Yet the healthy bond gives strength and continuity.
If the spirit is wounded by trauma, it is the responsibility of the individual to reconcile the issue. You can observe through the expression of the daemons. Are you able to see a balance of positive and negative influences in the world? Does the story of your life and destiny reflect the true nature of your being? Are you giving away all your goodness at the cost of feeling fatigued?
The human experience is not a question of staying in the positive or avoiding the negative. It is the ability to hold the most natural flow of energy by finding the balance between the two. Observe your experiences as neither inherently good nor intrinsically bad. Allow yourself the simplicity of understanding life as the product of how you show up in the world.
Enlightenment is being at peace with the daemons within. Love is the product of a system in balance. Awakening is the natural evolution to the life you were born to live. Healing old wounds is acceptance of life as it is. Tune in to your essence for the answers to all your questions.
Bring joy, ease suffering and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!
Blessings, Russell
