But come on guys... are all of you saying that there is no darkness in this world except for the darkness we create?
Thanks

Without darkness, there would be no light. Without bad, there would be no good. It is essential to recognize this duality and rise above it by practicing detachment, realization of emptiness and compassion for all.
Now for the mudane level: This has been my experience (Reader's Digest Version):
At the time when I met Jesus and later received tongues from the Holy Ghost (20 years ago), whenever I said "I ask for love and protection from God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit" I would get tingles going through my body. At that time, I also learned "I bind you in the name of Jesus Christ" and "I pray the blood of Jesus over you". I still use these sayings today because they work.
This is the reason why I quit going to church (Victory Christian Centre):
One night, since Jesus loves to be sung to from the heart, I decided to sing in tongues to Jesus for 2 hours. It was a great session. After that, I went to bed. As I lay in bed a small boy floated up next to the bed. I said "who are you?". The boy said "what does it matter?". I said "I bind you in the name of Jesus Christ". At that point, the little boy popped/vanished and I could see a large demon head, with big green eyes, a long snout and large white teeth. The beast took a snap with it's jaws at me and then was whisked away!!!
After that experience, I talked to several people in the church about it and they all confirmed that there are demons or entities that hang around your bed at night and try to whisper things into your head. Well, I got so disgusted and kind of afraid as I kept asking myself "What if it is all true? Heaven, Hell, demons, etc"??? Yuk!! I couldn't believe this and so I decided to quit the church, retreat, gather my senses and reassess things.
However, I still hang on to my three sayings, because I still see demons/entities every now and then, or spirits or people when I meditate or focus on someone in my mind's eye. If I have the slightest suspicion that they are not from the highest, purest realms, or that they are trying to deceive me in any way, I bind them in the name of Jesus Christ. Sometimes, they 'poof' and then reveal their true appearance and are whisked away. If this doesn't happen, then they are real, or at least appear to be what they appear to be.
Perhaps, as discussed before in this thread, demons are thought forms that people have created by believing in them. Perhaps even all astral beings and higher entities are also thought forms. I don't know. But if something tries to deceive you by appearance, it can't be from a very high realm. Also, I don't feel bad about binding in the name of Jesus because Jesus knows how to deal with entities.

Nowadays, even though I still use my protection sayings, I'm taking the buddhist point of view that everything is empty and that there is only awareness. In my meditations, I'm starting to see my own thoughts as they come to get me, so it is entirely possible that thought forms float around the vast void of awareness that encompasses all. But again, because I'm not enlightened, I get scared by a thought form just as easily as the real thing and I can't tell them apart.

For the last two days I have had an enormous pressure right between my eyebrows, and this pressure has gone up to the crown a few times. It feels like a very strong magnetic pull of sorts. My inner sight is getting much clearer and my intuition is phenomenal. Yesterday when I used my third eye to see what was going to be in my mailbox, I saw a key with a blue plastic part attached. Sure enough, when I opened the mailbox, I had a key for the delivery compartment 2A. A book that I had ordered called "Clear Light of Bliss" was waiting for me! (wonderful book so far).
From what I've read after researching a couple days on the net is that pressure on the third eye means that the third eye (ajna) is opening and developing. It is supposed to take three days of high pressure on the third eye before it breaks and cracks wide open. I'm on day two now. Also, the "Clear Light of Bliss" says that the ajna (brow chakra) is actually connected to the crown first. So, I can see that there is a possibility that one sets the other off.
I'm thinking that everything is as it should be and developing fine. I'm not worried. I don't care that I fry hard drives at work. Who cares if my stereo no longer works properly. I like the heat! The tingles are fun, they make me feel alive. I hardly notice the rash or the constant ringing in my ears.
Smile! The bliss from smiling will speed your progress. You must mix bliss with emptiness.

I'm happy to be blessed with my developments and I'm thankful that God has allowed me to learn some of the mysteries of life.
