Is catalyst ever perceived positively?

[Horuseus]

When I meditate and get deeper, sometimes I'll see scary things. Like scary demons. Or twisted scenes like my animals being hurt. Stuff that I don't normally get faced with.

Well, if you believe the 'deeper mind' is full of demons you somehow created than this is what will be literally reflected back to you. On the other hand, if you see it as an ally, a tool or opportunity for growth through integration, those shadows begin to look a lot less so. See the scenes through and let it play out in your Imagination without fear and you'll eventually be presented with the imbalance to address in plain sight.

Ultimately It's all really you and has come from you anyway.
