There is much in self-improvement or human potential movement that comes from Yoga. Yoga is properly translated as 'union' despite what Catholic Encyclopedia says about it being 'yoke'. The astral or spiritual world of Yoga is not prone to religious or ecclesiastical process and enables a person to 'Follow their Bliss'. This is essence of all science of soul work which Jesus and Yogananda are great teachers of when not interpreted by control freaks and power-mongerers who seek to put words in their mouths.

The idea that someone can be possessed is not an impossibility I suppose, however, I find that more often than not, it is merely “raging hormone syndrome”. This is a phrase I have coined recently to explain pre-pubescent hormonal feelings that emerge from young children that are soon to be young adults.

Demons are beings from underworld, beings that might have super powers or are able to make humans submit to its’ whims. Demons are beings that have been made up by placing them in movies and on television. In my religion, there is heaven, hell and purgatory. I have learned of hell and what it constitutes, that is, raging fires that burn in hell and all who must remain there because they have sinned. I don’t know if there is a hell but I do believe that there is a heaven. I believe that there is an all-knowing God.

I think that there are plenty of explanations that are manmade or natural that will explain demons that present themselves in our world these days. I believe it is more of a psychological or psychosomatic entity than an entity that can overpower a young person’s mind and make them do whatever they want.

Our world has so many pressures in it that we are no longer easygoing people we once were. We live in a world of hate, war, famine and to deal with our family life diminishing before our eyes makes it harder and harder to be surrounded by positive energy. We need to go to extremes to make negative energy remove itself from our presence and continue to allow positive energy, which makes us happy and comfortable, continue to thrive in our lives. Hopefully we are able to continue this ritual and be able to grow in our spiritual and physical lives.
