Evil Spirits

[Divinomagus]

To a large extent, you make your own reality and see what you want to see, or what you believe or expect to see. If you go hunting for demons, there’s a good chance you’ll find them. If you look for angels and light, you’ll find that too. If you only look for “physical” explanations, that’s what you’ll find. It’s funny how that works.

So what you're claiming to believe is that the whole universe and everyone else in it is just a figment of your imagination. I must not actually be typing this and when you read it, you somehow created the post by looking for it and I don't even exist. I think we must be creating our own reality within certain limitations, while everyone else does the same. Demon spirits, being separate entities with their own consciousness (but lacking the same degree of free will) are outside of your created reality. They have a stand-alone consciousness and lack the free will to leave their station. But just because you don't go looking for them doesn't mean they don't exist. We can attract them by looking for them and anyone else for that matter. But we can only create other conscious beings by reproduction, not dominate the free will or very existence of others by thought.

I made no such claim. You’re talking about Solopsism, which I do not subscribe to.
