Inner Angels vs Manifested Demons
Birth of Clarity #23
Welcome to the Birth of Clarity newsletter.
Do I believe that “heaven” gained a new angel when my mum died? Do I believe in heaven and angels? See my last post. Either way, I’ve been interested in the topic of angels, and more specifically demons, for a while and they tie in with what I’ve been writing about recently.
Whether I believe in angels is one thing, but I do believe in demons. I’ve encountered them in some form or another since losing my mother. So if demons exist then I guess it stands to reason angels do… However, “heaven” has been harder for me to get my head around and although it doesn't form the basis of this article, I’ll address it here.
Heaven
“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
This Eskimo proverb has stayed with me ever since my mum died. Although the word heaven angered me, the rest of the quote helped me during that painful period. I nearly even got it tattooed on me, minus that word. But I thought better of it. So why did it anger me?
Losing a parent is extremely hard especially if you were close to them. My mother and I had a good relationship. We enjoyed a laugh together. I loved her very much. Was she a good addition to “heaven”? Absolutely. But why did she have to go there - wherever there is - and why did she have to leave me?

These have always been my questions when I think about my mother’s death. I didn’t want her to go. I had to face many demons when I lost my angel, and I wasn’t ready. If she was going to go to “heaven”, surely “God” would see that I still needed her? Surely she was better off being with her son than wherever she was taken?
For those of you who may have lost someone close to you, do you ever think of them being in heaven? Do you ever think that they would be better off here with you than somewhere else? Do you think a “heaven” exists? Do you think they become angels that look over us? Do you think that when you lose an angel, you face more demons?
These are just some of the questions I’ve asked myself. Honestly, whenever I’ve lost someone close to me, it seems like I’ve had to deal with more demons. I sometimes wonder whether I’m being tested. But then I question, why? And for what reason? It makes no sense. Or maybe this is a lot bigger than me…
Angels and demons
These “demons” are often destructive habits or addictions that grow from unresolved issues. When the root cause isn’t dealt with these unresolved issues can turn into alcohol addiction, porn addiction, food addiction, sex addiction, etc. Addiction is the manifestation of untreated wounds, traumas and pains - like the loss of a loved one.
The demons you face after losing someone you love come in many forms and do not always come immediately. Some linger in the background ready to strike when you least expect it. This is when you need an angel - which, from my experience, comes from within. Angels of self-love, acceptance, strength, amends, freedom and peace.
Maybe angels are spiritual beings looking down on you but they’re probably not the stereotypical “angel on your shoulder” telling you right from wrong because you already know this truth in your heart. You already know good from bad because this knowledge is in your soul. But there appears to be an effort to silence these angels.
Demons emerge from unresolved issues and will do anything to cost you contact with angels.
You have angels inside trying to guide you through rough waters…but your demons want to steer the ship. They want to fill your vessel with holes until you sink into the darkness. They will do everything they can to devour you and distance you from your angels.
You might not like the demons and angels analogy but think of your own battles, especially with addictions. Think about the demons you’ve faced and defeated. Was an “angel” involved? I.e. did you/ do you think it was a miracle that you overcame what you did? If yes, then could it be possible an angel/ your inner angel helped?
I also write the AFF Newsletter - raw and honest articles aimed at helping dads overcome alcohol addiction (& much more).
Of course, my example of an “inner angel” could be described as willpower or inner strength. It could also be the byproduct of external help or most likely the result of working in tandem with something outside of yourself. It could also be described as the presence of “God”?
Whatever you believe, these are interesting questions to ask yourself. When you start questioning the possibility of angels and demons, heaven and hell, God or the Devil, you find that you open your mind to more possibilities - to a bigger picture. You can then decide whether or not you continue to explore the unknown.

Such a great post. I hope your mum is fine. Whereever she is. And she's still your guardian angel looking from far.
“You already know good from bad because this knowledge is in your soul.” 💓 Another beautiful one, Roscoe. And I hope it’s OK to say I hope my son feels the way you do about your mom.
