Schedule Meetings With Your Demons

JP Morgan'How To', Featured Articles

Last week, I had a meeting with my demons. We did it at the cafe around the corner from my home at 3pm on Wednesday (I’d scheduled it with them on Sunday).

The aim of the meeting was to discuss what they are trying to stop me from doing next in my life. I didn’t actually challenge them in that meeting. Instead I just sat down and talked peacefully with them. I have to admit, it was a bit deceptive on my part. When I was there, I knew all the while that as soon as I got the information I was going to hatch a plan to do the things I discovered they were stopping me from doing.

I knew I couldn’t plan on doing the things right away or even in the same day though. They would have smelled it on me. They would have gotten their claws right into my belly at the meeting. So I just kept it in the back of my mind and focused on finding out what they knew. I just went and I met with them. I ordered a coffee, and just sat and spoke to them.

I asked them things like:

“What is it you are afraid of?”

“What really, really scares you?”

They didn’t have much to say at first, but the longer I sat there, holding them to my questions, the more they started to speak. And when they spoke, I took notes. It was exciting and enlightening, but I was careful not to show too much excitement. I didn’t want them catching on.

Once I’d gotten all the information out of them that I could, and I’d filled a page in my notebook I thanked them, got up, and walked out of the cafe. The moment I was out the door, a devious smile spread across my face.

I’d tricked them. The bastards.

Immediately I began hatching a plan to undermine them. One of the things I found out was that there was someone I needed to phone. Someone whom being assertive with made me uncomfortable.

Once I’d gotten the information out of them, it was as good as done. The next day, when I picked up the phone to make the call, they got their claws into me, but since I knew it was them – since I had expected them to try to stop me – I was able to overcome them.

The demons couldn’t hold up against my awareness. I moved forward and they fell. And when they fell I felt greatness expand within me.

Schedule a meeting with your demons.

They’ll be happy to speak with you. And they’ll never see it coming when, a day or two later, you use what they told you to overcome them.

  6. 🙂 nice. those are tricky bastards. they want you to worship the god of pleasure, whose real purpose is to never let you awake, never let you surrender, never let you transcende. it is a tricky tricky business..

  8. Brilliant idea. From a Hypnosis / NLP perspective those parts of you have gifts with good intentions albeit they conflict with our values and make problems sometimes. Do you integrate these parts of you after meeting with them? At your “meeting table” you would just imagine it transforming into a pool of white light, have them all jump into it, become one with it and then draw all that light into your heart region becoming one with you. What would happen is you would receive all their strengths, insights, and gifts but without any conflict or self-sabitaging behavior because the process would dissolve any internal conflict in your value systems. Just be aware you may feel emotionally weird the next day as your system sloughs off old baggage those “inner demons” were holding onto. (And don’t do it if you’re taking any meds that significantly affect moods.) Let me know how it goes for you!

  10. Tight! 🙂 Yeah anytime you do Parts Integration you resolve Shadows and projections. The most powerful being when you do forgiveness work with your parents, first love’s, and any bullies you may have had, and then integrate them with a technique like that. You’ll wake up the next day a dramatically healthier and more powerful person. Belinda Farrel has a wonderful CD that guides people through this process. Its gold. I use it consistently to integrate any Shadows when they emerge and its caused my intuition and inner congruency to dramatically increase. You’d probably like it too. Best to you John, lots of love!
