Do demons exist?(srs)

[Popadopalus]

lol no demons are not real.

i've been to every haunted location around here, and i've never seen anything paranormal.

There was an abandoned hospital close to my old school, a lot of my friends would go there to explore an blaze, they said they saw a lady who jumped off the roof but disappeared as soon as she was about to hit the ground. Seems legit

[Popadopalus]

Yyyyeah brah. The power of 3 will set you free. I watch charmed all the time.

U watch vampire diaries too?

that just means they don't exist to you, that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Epilepsy is a mental disorder
Throughout history, epilepsy was commonly attributed to demons by the religious
You believe demons are the cause of mental disorders
I provided an example of a treatment (corpus callosotomy) which prevents the spread of epileptic fits throughout the brain, but which would be no barrier to a demon
Either: A demon that is capable of inhabiting a person's brain is incapable of crossing hemispheres without a physical connection (the now disconnected corpus callosum)
Or: Demons are not the cause of epileptic fits, but rather electrical signals caused by physiological defects are the cause

but the fact that you don't understand suggests to me that you don't even have a basic knowledge of neuroscience, which means you're hardly in a position to criticise psychologists

i notice Dr_Decay declined to explain why demons are incapable of crossing hemispheres of the brain without the aid of connective tissue, obviously the demons got to him before he could respond

for those of you babbling and drooling about how certain frequencies (tones) are associated with visual phenomena: SYNESTHESIA http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Synesthesia
hyper-connectivity between different senses experienced by a sizeable portion of the population, for which a wealth of research has been done; one type of sensory stimulus (e.g aural) can trigger the perception of a different stimulus (e.g. visual) with consistent counterparts. Someone may consistently see the colour blue when hearing the note G#, for instance, and see yellow when hearing a B. This may also present itself as the experience of 'auras'; different colours are associated with different moods, personalities etc.

all i know is everytime I have sleep paralysis it has something to do with a demon trying to hurt me in some kind of way, and it happened multiple times before I even knew what sleep paralysis was

Some miscers just make me scratch my head. I can't tell if you idiots are trolling or being cereal.

I believe one spoke to me once (srs). It said, "hush... just listen... hush..."

auditory hallucinations are incredibly common, what makes you think it was a demon, rather than say... your mind?

lol oh that was no demon. . .
*ifyouknowwhatImean*

[RusnConcussion]

100% yes op.






























There is one in my pants.

[SAffa101]

Yes 'demons' exist
No they're not bad
If the girl you're talking about really got possessed, it was NOT a demon

Probably an angel. Angels 'possess' people, so that you go to your local church, have them use their fake faith and power to 'chase' the spirit, and keep people fearing demons, while adoring jesus
(srs)

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[SAffa101]

Yeah South Africa has quite the history of demons and spirits.
My family has had a couple of encounters. Mum and dad preachers, grandmother could "see" them, etc.
And just as writing this right now I heard a bang in the kitchen and i'm alone in the house....srs.


Protect me zyzz bird.

Brah I live in South Africa. Never seen a Demon or anything you trolling hard.

[coppb]

yes they do watch this schit op

Holy chit, I just chit. literally!

In this episode of Ask Teal, the topic addressed is: Demons.
Teal explains that Demons began as a metaphor. In other words, they began as a symbol of negative frequencies in our own human psyches. But those symbols have been fed by individuals and cultures and religions with enough focus that they have become thought forms. Demons have become thought forms which can project ideas, retain characteristics, and be perceived as well as influence those people in the third dimension who hold a vibration which is a close enough match to theirs. Teal then goes on to explain that demons have no power of assertion. Demons are invited by offering a "like vibration". The way to offer a "like vibration" to things like demons is to think thoughts which vibrate at the same emotional level as things like victimhood and powerlessness and depression. There is not a source of evil. There is ONE source of energy in this universe and it can either be allowed or resisted by us. Demons are symbols of resistance. But if you do not feed them with the energy of your focus and you raise your vibration by choosing higher vibrational thoughts and actions, demons can not be a part of your reality.

You're a fuking dumbass.

Sleep paralysis is pretty much known all about and can actually be managed with treatment (would give you some helpful info if you weren't a little ******* with twitchy finger for negging), you living in 1700 if you think it has anything to do with demons and not a break in REM sleep patterns.

Think we can work out your intelligence based on the fact that you said it "happened before you knew what sleep paralysis was", well no shyt Sherlock it's a medical condition. That's like saying Oh God I had cancer before I knew what cancer was, so it must be a monster growing inside of me.

Get the fuk out.

[Prose]

all i know for certain is, 'ghosts' , 'demons' , all other paranormal activity , are unwilling or afraid to be photographed or filmed.

auditory hallucinations are incredibly common, what makes you think it was a demon, rather than say... your mind?

when you start seeing 'signs' and feel guided by synchronicity, which leads you to discover incredible thins, almost as if your in tune and everything seems obvious to you, you need not to think, just follow, and when you feel incredibly alive while doing it, than maybe you can start babbling all your science ****. If you haven't, i'd suggest you shut the fck up because you have no idea how to even begin to remotely explain these phenomenons, how, what, or why.

Get your ass taunted by demons and then come say something. You have no more leverage in saying who's right in regards to this topic because of its 'publications' of explanations in the 'scientific' community. You're just another team player.

[SexiestMiscer]

U watch vampire diaries too?

Nope. I doubt it will come close though.

use to practice soccer late at night in this open ground....as soon as it struck 3 am i could here someone making that noise you make when you want to call you pet,,,, cant spell the damn word

Actually you're wrong, we can explain quite a lot of things in rather a lot of detail, the myth that the human brain is some complex machine that we know nothing about really should be dispelled considering scientific advancements of the last 30 years.

You're claiming that someone needs to have "seen" a demon of they should stfu is totally stupid logic, especially considering the topic at hand pretty much totally revolves around the fact that people are mistaking what they see or are being lied to by their brains.

We're talking about something that can perceive oxygen deprivation as "bright lights guiding people to heaven" while the eyes and body shuts down, we're talking about something which can be made to experience things which aren't real via simple narcotics or even self induced via hyper-ventilation, we're talking about something which can be effected via frequencies (look up Theta brainwaves and how music effects them, yes this is one of the reasons people like music and feel uplifted by things like Trance which has a lot of beats) and various other factors.

But of course rather than just believe that you're in the wrong for whatever reason it's much easier to just go into defensive mode and shut down to protect your reality, if you want to say that demons exist in a metaphorical sense that people are tormented by things they have no control over in their minds then I'd be happy to agree with that notion, however to think there's little demon minions coming from hell (or wherever they spawn from in earlier lore) and taking over peoples bodies or even funnier, winged deer type creatures ripping up peoples cars, well no it doesn't exist.

Too many people are conditioned to be "open minded" and have the view that hey it could all be real, imagine if like in the movies you're that one guy who knows the truth and everyone thinks is crazy. Well the reality of that is if you open your mind too much without checking the rubbish going into it then you get a collection of garbage, being open minded is great because it lets you take in a lot of information it's just a shame so many people use it as a way to take the weaker side and then totally ignore all reason.

tl;dr - There's no demons, if you think there is and truly believe you're seeing them then you should seek professional medical help (srs, not insulting).

I have to stop reading these kinds of threads before I go to sleep. Whenever I stay up and misc, I always end up reading stuff like this. :/

putting things in quotation marks makes them wrong. You still haven't suggested why demons act in non-supernatural ways, according to the laws of science, when treated. Are they just trying to trick us into thinking they don't exist?
You justify your position by attacking my motivation rather than honestly answering my questions.

For the last time:
Why is it that supernatural epilepsy-inducing demons are incapable of crossing from one cerebral hemisphere to the other without the aid of connecting axons and glial tissue, instead behaving exactly like abnormal electrical signals would?

If you are capable of answering this, you will destroy the scientific position on epileptic seizures, and i will do my utmost to publicise that science was wrong, you have my word.

And maybe you would also be capable of explaining why damaging BA.22 causes a Language-Comprehension Demon to inhabit the subject of the lesion. Does the demon require a hole in exactly that area (Wernicke's Area) in order to squeeze in and start messing up a person's lexical access?
Seriously, your knowledge would be really benefical in this area, since apparently we have it all wrong, and demons are the cause of all mental illness, not physiological issues like a hole in your brain, mixed action potentials from demylination, or hippocampal encephalitis caused by the Herpes Simplex virus (poor Clive Wearing and his memory demon)

i get that you'll probably ignore most of this, but concentrate on the bold part for now

[shanks1992]

After reading this thread last night I had a horrific nightmare, like seriously scary chit where someone was screaming my name constantly. When i woke up it was 3.01

I chit you not.

I want to be leaf

[SPARTAAAAA]

i believe in them. i think they are very real. people will dismiss things or try make them rational. but speaking freely i believe in my beliefs and i believe in them just as much as they believe in me.
may not have hard proof or stuff like that but growing up i have had heaps of stuff happen to me.
used to see vivid things when i closed my eyes, like demons, death, dismemberment with like a saw. almost like flashes. to the point i washed my face half at a time just to get by.
id have nightmares/lucid dreams constantly. of shadow people, demons, spirits, old hags, beasts.
once i didnt sleep for a couple days and i was taken to a priest thing.
was only till i started getting closer to god and learning how to pray and how to pray for my protection that most of this stopped.
also once or twice heard whispering while in bed. lets say sounded like latin but soft enough for me make clear but to have to try listen to it. refusing that i prayed and it stopped.
ive seen shadows move where they shouldnt. ive had objects ****ed with and noises in the night.
ive woken up to the feeling of being choked out where i couldnt lift my head off the pillow till i prayed and wasnt a dream in a dream
woken up with scratches and **** like i attacked myself.

in short i believe in them
also since i became more religious i haven't had a lucid dream/nightmare and most ****s stopped.
i think lucid dreams are a ways for things to reach out to you which otherwise cant to that extreme. almost like your between realms.
i think in this world one cannot not believe they are a influence.
