Demons and Narcissists: A Shared Desire to Torment

Instead I’m going to give you compelling food for thought.

Demons torment.

Unless we redefine away or twist the word demon into something that resembles candy floss instead, can anyone argue against my claim that

  • what demons want
  • what demons are all about
  • what demons truly seek
  • what they think, feel, and desire

is to torment you?

Look up or watch movies of possessions, whether Christian, animist, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, shamanic, black and white magic, or some other spiritual system. Listen to the folk tales of cultures steeped in belief in the supernatural. Read fiction novels, watch shows., Even those things that do not promote religion hold onto the same archetypal perspective.

It’s always the same thing.

Demons torment.

If you subscribe to that outdated definition, you will miss 100% of the covert ones, and mislabel many non-narcissists, individuals who have too much of a flair for the dramatic and theatrical, but are nevertheless not narcissists.

Is a narcissist just someone who wants admiration and attention?
