Do Demons Really Exist?
October 25, 2012/
Some say yes, some say no – who should you believe?
That’s a question I’ve struggled with in my life as a Catholic grounded in spiritual, metaphysical beliefs.
After reading Gary Spivey’s book “Your Keys to Heaven: Secrets From God” I now recognize that there are dark forces trying to prevent me from my highest good.
I have felt this darkness for a long time, but did not want to recognize that it was real.
Now, I am excited to really understand that this darkness is not to be denied or feared, but to be acknowledged and cleared.
Do you believe in Demons or dark energy? How do you clear yourself and stay grounded in love and light? We’d love to hear from you in our comments section below.

Thanks Julie, I haven’t felt or been thinking about dark energy for many years, somehow I prefer to concentrate on the light forces and energy and their help. When I just started my journey of conscious living and choices, I had the feeling that something negative tries to stop me and pull back into my previous life of struggles and victim-hood.
Now when I’m step up and am determined to achieve something more, always something happens that prevents me to accomplish my plans in the beginning but I treat it as a test to check that I really want to continue to grow.
Like Pat – I’m not fully comfortable with the thought of a “demon” lurking over me – but I definitely believe there is always a negative force of some kind pushing against the positive I’m trying to accomplish. It may be pure semantics 🙂
I’ve never been one to stress about it too much. But I also believe that is partly denial and my personality of “not thinking about it means it doesn’t exist” which is probably not very helpful.
Thank you for this post Julie and making me think a little bit outside my comfort zone 😉
I’m still not into the DEMON thing, maybe because I grew up with SATAN (same concept) as the big bad wolf trying to get you. At the same time, I recognize in duality light cannot exist without darkness. I do feel a dark energy at times and clear myself with light and love affirmations.
Recently I was leaving a city where I had been very tired and everything was a strain. I was still able to enjoy, but not to the degree I would have wished. As I left the city proper, I realized I suddenly felt very light and energized. Later I read an article in the newspaper about the drug lords and gangs which were quite prevalent. Interesting. Sounds like demons or whatever!
