Facing Your Inner Battles: Steps to Find Freedom
Every day, countless people wage silent wars against unseen demons. These battles aren’t just physical or mental—they’re spiritual struggles that test the very essence of who we are. Battling demons is a fight many of us face, yet so few openly talk about. These demons come in many forms: addiction, lust, jealousy, lying, gossiping, ego-driven thoughts, and malice. They hide behind masks, projecting outward as anger, fear, or hate, but their true battlefield is within us.
The Hidden Struggle
I’ve realized one of the hardest truths. These demons can deeply affect people. This includes even those who seem to have it all. I’ve lost friends—many friends—who, powerless to escape their demons, succumbed to them through suicide. To look at these friends, you wouldn’t think anything was wrong. They laughed, smiled, and went about their lives as though everything was fine. But beneath the surface, they were in agony, fighting battles that no one can see.
Even public figures like the boxer Tyson Fury, a man with immense wealth and fame, openly share their struggles. Fury calls it “mental health,” but anyone who’s been there knows it goes much deeper. The demons he faces are no different than those haunting anyone else—they just wear different masks.
The Depth of the Battle
When you’re battling demons, the pain feels insurmountable. Addiction, self-doubt, and fear whisper lies into your mind. They say, “You’ll never be free.” They insist, “You’re not strong enough.” They claim, “You’re alone in this.” These thoughts can spiral into hopelessness, leaving even the strongest among us feeling powerless.
But here’s the deeper truth: these demons thrive on the energy we give them. They latch onto our fears, the foods we eat, the media we consume, and the unresolved pain within us. When you understand that your thoughts and habits feed these demons, you start to see the way out.
What Feeds the Demons?
The world around us is a playground for these dark forces. Fear, hate, and addiction permeate the foods we eat. They infiltrate the TV shows we watch and the music we consume. Imagine the terror an animal experiences before slaughter. That fear, encoded in its blood, transfers to the meat we eat. The parasites within the meat, literal and symbolic, carry that energy.
This isn’t just about food—it’s about everything we consume. Toxic media, violent imagery, and fear-driven news create patterns of negative thinking. These patterns aren’t random; they’re designed to keep us enslaved. The addiction to sugar, heroin, alcohol, cigarettes, or even porn isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual. The parasite doesn’t want to die, and it will fight tooth and nail to keep its grip on you.
The Way Ahead
The path to freedom is not easy. You’ll face ridicule, resistance, and even isolation. Friends and loved ones will not understand your journey. Some try to pull you back. It’s not out of hate. Your light forces them to confront their own darkness.
But you can win. Here’s how:
- Start with Awareness: Recognize the patterns feeding your demons. Whether it’s toxic habits or destructive thoughts, awareness is the first step to breaking free.
- Detoxify Your Body: Apple cider vinegar, fermented foods, and clean eating starve the parasites. Cut out sugar, processed foods, and toxic substances.
- Guard Your Mind: Limit fear-based media and violent content. Replace it with uplifting, empowering material that feeds your spirit.
- Reconnect with Nature: Walk barefoot, breathe fresh air, and reconnect with the Earth. Nature heals and grounds you, reminding you of your divine essence.
- Seek Forgiveness and Repentance: It’s never too late to turn back. Ask for guidance, acknowledge your flaws, and commit to change.
The Deeper Mission
This battle isn’t just about you—it’s about your purpose. When you overcome your demons, you become a beacon for others still trapped in the darkness. You show them that there is hope, that freedom is possible.
But understand this: the journey is not for the faint-hearted. Facing your shadow self is terrifying. It requires courage, vulnerability, and relentless determination. Yet, on the other side of that struggle is rebirth. You will feel like a brand-new being, aligned with your higher self, and ready to live in truth and love.
A Message to the Warriors
To those fighting their demons: I see you. I’ve walked this path, and I’ve felt the pain. I’ve stumbled and fallen. I have lost friends to the struggle. I’ve seen the toll it takes on even the strongest among us. But I’m here to tell you—it’s worth it.
When you choose the narrow path, you’ll face trials. You’ll be mocked, laughed at, and isolated. But remember, every great soul who walked this Earth endured the same. Your struggle is a sign of your greatness.
So take up your sword—not of hate, but of love. Love yourself enough to fight. Love others enough to shine as an example. When you fall, know that the Most High is there to lift you up. One day, you will lift others too.
This journey isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving. It’s about becoming your greatest version, the version you were always meant to be. Will you take the first step?
