We don’t always need to precisely battle our inner demons to overcome them. In fact, sometimes, we also have to lose ourselves in looking into our inner demons with a burning flare of imagination.
What you think is your enemy could be your greatest company.
It is without a doubt that our inner demons are troubling and cause a lot of distress. Verily, they’re supposed to be negative fractions of thoughts and beliefs that are often recurring or obsessive. We usually feel tormented by them which fuels the pessimism within us. These demons tend to whisper lies and deceive us into believing that the fears and negative thoughts we hold are real.
Ultimately, inner demons can suck the life out of us, and we become heavily burdened by our own very depths. They fill our minds with waters of negative thought patterns and feelings and, as a result, drown us.
Now that we have grasped how harrowing and wicked these inner demons are, let’s further pique our imagination.
Inner Demons and Their Complexity
Our brains are complex, and it makes our inner demons as intricate as our minds.
Although we pretty much own our brains, as they are clearly implanted in our heads, for some strange reason, we don’t have full control over our own minds. The way our thoughts just instantly wander and float wherever it goes, is just bewildering at times.
Within the very core of our minds, inner demons are revealed and located. They are immensely difficult to control the moment we become driven by them. Often, it even becomes seemingly impossible for us to handle. It appears like a war going on in our heads. This war happens to barricade us into fighting against these inner demons. In actuality, we don’t have to fight them but rather look into them.
Looking into Our Inner Demons: They Are a Part of Us

While others deny and are unable to accept this assertion, inner demons are a part of us – a huge chunk of who we are as individuals. They are intertwined with our very cores that ultimately fabricate our individuality and uniqueness.
That said, looking into our inner demons proffers recognizing that they are a part of us. This recognition must accompany acceptance. This is because sometimes people end up just plainly recognizing such a situation without actually looking deeper into it.
The moment we wilfully engage in looking into our inner demons, we also mold a stronger version of ourselves – a demon-like strength is powered in us, not to fight against the inner demons but rather to work with them.
Losing Ourselves Also Means Finding Ourselves
Working with our inner demons may sound like we are defeated by negativity. However, what we fail to grasp is casting our inner demons could mean throwing away something worth a gem.
‘Be careful when you cast out your demons that you don’t throw away the best of yourself.’ — Friedrich Nietzsche
If we fight against our inner demons and cast them away from our very depths, we also lose the opportunity to be transformed into a more improved and resilient individual.
The thing is, it’s okay to have inner demons. It’s fine to have a weakness.
Because eventually, it will all make sense. We will finally capture the essence of losing ourselves in the midst of intricacy in order to find ourselves in the process.
Rekindling the Imagination: Seeing in a Different Perspective
Igniting, fueling, and evoking imagination does not always imply creative thinking. Having a sense of imagination also implicates an open mind.
Opening our minds and accepting a new, different perspective we are unfamiliar with serves as the match that lights our true imagination.
We don’t need to fight our inner demons and aim to win against them. This is not a competition of the mind, so why not work with these demons instead to better ourselves? Looking into our inner demons and working with them like they are our best pals could be our way of outshining what we think is best for us.
Finally, we highly recommend reading Castle Forks by Chris Cochrane. It is a story about Immortal Demon Shadows that will surely tug at your interest and, of course, thrill and grip you till the end.
