I have always struggled with the thought of an FI. Here are my thoughts on it. We are dualistic beings and there are parts of us that are invisible to us (Johari window). There is a part of us that is "dark" there is a part of us that is "light". We are socialized to ignore, repress, and deny the dark part of our self at all costs. It is uncomfortable to have dark thoughts. It is uncomfortable to have thoughts that appear to be outside of "normal" (which imo is just a setting on the dryer, but thats for another post). Anyone who tells you that they never have "evil or abnormal" thoughts is lying. Is that a foreign being wanting to suck out our lifeforce? IMO no. If we take this to logic...my mind is a part of me, my thoughts are mine and a result of my experiences therefore bizarre thoughts are mine. [however]The outcome is the same [as those purported by FI]. We are often weakened by those types of thoughtforms, but that isnt because of some foreign creature, but because it separates us from each other, and from our SELF. I have had bizarre thoughts and wondered "where the hell did that come from? " It came from me. I would like to believe that it wasnt me, however it is the wonderful mystery that is us. A mish mash of wonderful darkness and the purest light...be both, but dont need to be both.
