Could you give some links about Thurbian. To me it sounds like its made up out of a fairy tail or something.
I would just call it a conscience.
Well it may very well be some kind of subconscious projection on my part. I don't doubt that possibility. I don't assert that Thurbian is necessarily real. Only that this is something I just saw in an instant -- that my logical mind tells me wasn't real but my instincts tell me was. But links? C'mon! This wasn't exactly something I found on the internet. I mean it's like asking me for links for something that I dreamed.
I only posted as a public service -- that there is essentially something like a cosmic speed trap out there that people might want to be aware of. If they are facing a difficult challenge that requires willpower to see it through, they might want to remember this story. It can be valuable even if they don't believe in demons --except the self-generated ones-- at all.
So Thurbian is something you made up well at least you're honest.

Don't you think someone who is trying to quit smoking is not taking responsibility for their actions?
Apparently not. It would seem that Thurbian tricked them into it wouldn't it?

I think it is an interesting idea, and I actually think this could be helpful to some people. By giving this negative mindset a face, people might be able to more easily focus on defeating the mindset.

On a Saturday a few weeks ago, I was having some pretty good insights about myself and my life, but I was not having the coveted “mystical experience.” I was not having any revelations about religion, or god or any of that stuff.
Until about 3 hours into it. At that point I walked out on my porch. I can’t remember exactly what I was thinking about. Suddenly, and it seemed to have been caused by a weird way I looked at the sky, I became aware of another world. Just for a few seconds. This was the world of spirits and other conscious entities. A normally unseen world. And I only saw about 1/100th of 1 percent. But it seemed, and still seems, very, very real. Even more “real” in the truest sense of the word that what we call reality.
