I’m still wondering how to get in contact with a demon. You already are in contact, but contact in what way? What goal would you have?

I guess my goal is to make an impact through my writing or art… as well as get physically healthier. Perhaps the easiest contact is this, look for the haunt in your home. All homes are actually haunted. Your demon is not confined to your body. Your body is not its body. Your brain is not it’s mind. If you get quiet and relaxed, remain aware of the environment around you while you are at home, you will notice two patterns. How much of what you do would you say is accident?

Nowadays, I really try to limit accidents. They still happen don’t they? Yes. Because there is no such thing as accidents. Nothing is out of order. The seemingly coincidental, especially the coincidental patterns in your own home, are the footprint of your personal demon. It tracks and responds to patterns that surround your home, chains of information and energy it contacted during the day, and changes things in seemingly accidental ways to balance out and ground those energies. You can even communicate with it in a simple physical way. Make a single symbolic change to that accidental pattern, one that sort of gestures what you want to say to your demon like a symbolic suggestion. We even commonly say now, “accidentally on purpose.” Do your accidents really look disjointed? Like they have no connection to what was going on or might happen later?

Like how I kept getting ‘accidental’ dings and scrapes on my car for a few years and then it just stopped.

I don’t pay attention to them enough in that way.

My accidents tend to reflect my feelings about other people. I try to limit how much I think about my social interactions. Thinking about them can cause me a serious amount of anxiety sometimes but my accidents will show up around those issues. I will forget something I meant to give to someone else, or drop something they gave me and break it, or instead of breaking it hurt myself, never very badly usually, just enough to get my attention sort of like a wake up call. It’s sort of like Carl Jung’s concept of synchronicity, but instead of postulating some vast universal author of the events, there are countless individual authors and one ghost writer that is interested in you. So you do seem interested in inspiration. Demons very often serve as muses, but I have to ask, how comfortable are you in asking people for things?

Oh, not very. I try to be self reliant. That would be a problem. This blocks your brain from receiving input. If you began feeling the suggestion from your demon, you would wall it out. Demons are not black and white thinkers, but they are very elemental. So you are or you’re not. It’s hot or it’s cold. They think in colour, but it is the colour it is. This is why you would have to really desire contact. If you think maybe you don’t want to bother, your demon will just accept that you don’t want to bother. It doesn’t make any decisions for you. They often see humans as frustratingly wishy-washy. This is why they so often display a sort of sarcasm, especially with things like Ouija boards and the like.

So you’ll need to work hard to convince them you mean it. Otherwise, they are indeed busy. Your personal demon has one concrete obligation, make space for you, allow you to exist. Whether you are happy or sad, suffer or prosper, mostly that’s up to you. It’s about you, unless you make it about them also. A big reason in my experience that I have had the strange experiences I have had, and most people don’t, despite my own unique differences in psychology and constitution, is simply paying attention. People don’t pay much attention to things.

How do I make it about them, and should I do that? You should make it about them. A simple way to do it is this. Have you seen that old movie Ghost?

Yes. Pay attention to your personal demon even if it isn’t responding to you. Attention is attention getting for them. This is why so many spirits and poltergeists engage in attention getting behaviour. It’s a real event for them, energizing. You don’t have to see them. They will see you when your attention is on them – intention is on them.

Acknowledge the patterns in your life. Indeed. Notice it’s activities. Eventually you will start being tested. Simple little things, questions really, like the start of a first conversation, awkward but willing. If that’s followed up on, reacted to, they will present you with more information. You will likely never hear a voice or see a visual presence. It isn’t necessary and would be troubling if it did occur. The brain doesn’t translate things like that well. The picture would miss pieces and be distorted. It would just be bad metaphor.

I have sometimes heard my name shouted in my ear. It might have been your daemon. See how it’s done?

It will use its own judgment on what exactly it does, with the default rule being that disturbing or disrupting you is out of the picture unless absolutely necessary, like your house is on fire or something. Otherwise relating to your personal demon would be just like having a life long conversation with someone who knows you very well, and if you get to the point when you are ready for more open channels, you can begin experiencing more demonic phenomenon. You will start seeing it out and about, other peoples demons, or demons maintaining other systems like in parks or wildlife preserves.

That would be interesting. It is. It’s amusing to watch the earth play blind mans bluff with a self absorbed tourist. They get very confused. It’s all the more funny as they get rather embarrassed at not being able to solve their problem with their clever intellect. Land demons even like playing with GPS systems. They rather like tech. Some of them are tech.

Your thoughts are welcome. Be well friends.
