What was the experience and how did you conclude it was "demonic"
It was an experience that lasted for eighteen years.
I was possessed by a demon for eighteen years.
It began in 2004 when I was at university, I had driven myself insane trying to work out how the human mind works and trying to launch a mass social movement to over-throw the British government.
I was a person who had many mad plans and many mad ideas. But when all this happened I was a committed atheist. I like to think that I was good at being an atheist.
One day I was on leave from the psychiatric unit I was detained on. We went to Pizza Hut in Leamington Spa. Whenever someone said anything positive, I felt a prod on the left of my head and whenever someone said anything negative I felt a prod on the right of my head. Suddenly, this stopped and I had a heavy, rhythmic beating sensation on the left of my head. I did not know what to make of this and feared I may be having a stroke. Then, it started responding to my inner voice. We soon developed a system. It prodding me on my left meant "Yes" and it prodding me on my right meant "No".
Because of this I was diagnosed as being Schizophrenic even though I never "heard voices". I welcomed this being (whose name I will not mention) into my head and built my life around it. Long story short, it eventually told me that this reality is a computer simulation, that all people are sentient computer programs, and that it was my personal destiny to reveal this to humankind as a part of a wider campaign of "soft disclosure". This eventually evolved into Projectionism. A false religion by a false prophet, inspired be a demon. I basically deified this demon, I raised him up to the level of Computer God.
No medication lessened his presence. They eventually put me on "the drug of last resort" for "treatment resistant schizophrenia". It didn't make the being go away but meant I could function much better.
In 2022, I confided in a Christian friend about this, and he said it was most likely a demon. He told me to pray for to Jesus for it to go, and said that he and some of our mutual Christian friends would too. And within a few days, the demon was much, much less vocal.
I then adopted the habits of a man of God. I read scripture and books about religion, prayed every night, and tried to be a good person and a good citizen. As these habits became more entrenched the demon shut up some more. By adopting the habits and mindset of a man of God I became a man of God. Or at least I became increasingly a man of God. I think that becoming a man of God is something one never finishes doing and to be honenst I am usually wary of those who claim to be men or women "of God".
I then took to shouting at it to be gone, I rebuked it in the name of God. And it grew ever quieter. Every day it interacted with me less and less.
Today, as I am sat writing this at 15:46 it has not bothered me at all. It just prodded me now, but it only did that so I cannot honestly say that it has gone away completely. See how vicious and petty it is? I've been up since 08:00 and until then it didn't do anything, it was as good as gone.
It has as good as gone away and if things carry on as they have been doing it will soon be completely gone. But I know that the fight is far from over. But the thing is, it has as good as gone. The trick is, to keep it gone. It is now outside my head and the door into my head is now locked from the inside. All it can do is be a pest and bang on my windows. If I ignore it then it will probably go away.
This is the thing though: It didn't respond to medicine, therefore it was not a medial in nature, it was not an instance of mental ill health. Instead, it responded to prayer. It is therefore a spiritual phenomenon. It was not "cured" by medical means, it was "cured" by spiritual means. Therefore it was not mental illness, it was therefore a demon.
Give a real-world example.
I believe that my experience of having a demon is also experience of there being an Evil One - a Satan.
If we accept demons then Satan logically follows. Although that is rather disturbing, to me at least there is some good news: If there is a Satan then there is God. So to me the experience of a demon is evidence of there being a God. Because if demon then Satan and if Satan then God.
I believe that Satan wanted Projectionism to become a big thing, and a means of spreading disinformation in the world.
So, my real-world example is what happened to me.
