If you stepped into Silent Hill...

[Xinyta]

What would your psychological demon(s) look like?

To preface this. Silent Hill, in concept, is a place (or reality) that connects your conscious and subconscious thoughts into one place. Bringing forth both your worst nightmares, but also guilding you to answers.

To put it simply, without going into psychology and psychoanalytics(in which I am not an expert), which is a huge part of what the first three games are. Silent Hill forces you to face your worst fears, your worst self, feelings you ignore, and even dark desires you think about.

Silent Hill 2 specifically plays a huge role on the idea of the personal psychological journey to acceptance and healing. Not everyone will accept, nor allow themselves to accept, the truth. There will be plenty that will go the direction of Angela and Eddie. Take the idea of what they are shown the wrong way. Drive themselves mad over it. It's heartbreaking, but just as much a reality of the human condition in us all. Willpower is a funny thing in that way. Some have plenty, some have little, others have a varied amount.

It's part of why it's said "the brain is the most complex organ".

Anyway. To get back on tangent.

I have an idea of two I'd see in that world. I am considering on drawing them.

Well I'd step right back out again!

Just when you thought you knew you, you meet other people who throw spanner into the works.
I think it's like retreat to silent hill after having others demons raise your demons. Does this make sense?

Put your demons on a treadmill until they get tired and plenty of exorcise.

Dear mind,
Be open to others views, tolerance

In Judaism one enters hell for time to burn but not for ever or eternity.

This is where nitsche borrowed Eastern philosophy
In cultures with Buddhist spiritual influence, both good and evil are perceived as part of an antagonistic duality that itself must be overcome through achieving Śūnyatāmeaning emptiness in the sense of recognition of good and evil being two opposing principles but not a reality, emptying the duality of them, and achieving a oneness.[1]

So as guidance meditation today we acknowledge the evil in our lonely hill, be it retreat or not. So today I will not judge myself too harshly, I allow myself to feel the evil. After that work through our issues to become a better person.

We can also encompass dear heart, not to criticise my learning or my first attempts at art piece. This way we can constructively work on progress and not hide our work in false belief of good enough.

My faith says to put God first, so then if you feel that something is attached to you, it doesn't belong there and it's a distraction. Maybe once you are with God, it's no longer a demon, but something which can be faced, but if you really are humble, you understand you're barely apt for confronting this world, much less spirits, so it's God first.

You just told me to be open-minded, and here you are telling me who it is that Christ chooses. Socrates did not know Jesus, but you presume that Jesus abandons people for their ignorance. On the contrary, I explained how God incorporated Socrates and how they testified for each other.
