Autowrench, some of what you say i agree entirely with, other not so much. Your input is appreciated
Could i ask your thoughts on the increase? The reasons? Implications perhaps? For my own part, i wish they never existed, but they will not be wished away either. How to discourage their presence? There has to be a "neutral" way, as in christians claim the cross is protection, pagans claim the pentagram, and i doubt either would use the other?
Ideas?

Upgrades, I would say downgrades, considering the state of the world. So one could ask, what was forgotten that “they” (the perpetuators of wickedness) do not want you to remember.
Demons are evil entities created by evil minds, that is dust that has been energized, which as far as I am concerned, they can return to. If the world was as you claimed more people would demonstrate the qualities of Jesus and more.
It is not the belief in them that is haunting it is the poisonous venom that has confused the mind (that causes a disconnect from self). So, again, there is a physical aspect to it, but, one would have to be peering into the underworld for it to be effective. Where people get caught is, if gifted, they can see, and therein is the trap. People have to get to a point of knowing without seeing and the little bastards would burn up in flight. They pull you down, you pull yourself up, but, that would be too easy, so they get you when you are a babe and raise to believe that they (the bastards) are closer to God than a rightful heir.
It is harder to unlearn than to learn.
All I have said, and you for that matter is in the Bible. Except for you thinking/joking about being God's voice.
Good. I hope thats true. Still, if it is, its your place & your purpose. On the other side of that chasm will still be you, if you make it. It will not be the same for you as it is for anyone else (& truthfully, you wont be quite the same either). Hey, perhaps that chasm wasn't on your path, but you got there following somebody else's? Perhaps it is, but then maybe your path is to turn 1 way & head down into the valley, or turn the other, up into the mountains... perhaps there's a pass there that'll take you somewhere completely different than the other side of the chasm?
I've come to my own place regarding where I'm at spiritually and I also know what my purpose here is
Ok. So you know then that you cant tell anybody anything, right? If they ask you, they may genuinely want your opinion, rather than the usual seeking to encapsulate your answer into a preformed idea, in which case, you can give them your honest opinion, but the words you use are not the concepts within your mind which you intend to communicate, they are simply the names of concepts which we have agreed enough common ground within that they make some sense. The more tenuous the concepts become, the less reliable the words to describe them are.
Know this, I am here to serve. Not to preach, or to convert, but to Learn, and to Teach. To SERVE.
Sounds like it, yeah. I think some of us are, for what ever reason, living a bit more in, for want of a phrase that I can wholeheartedly believe in, "other planes of existance". Since we generally dont even know it, have little way of controlling it &, even if we do become aware of it, are still groping about in the dark, then it wouldn't surprise me if we inadvertantly piss the ordinary denizens of such "planes" off.
Is that what you were talking about?
