00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			Right, the nature of devils and demons in
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			psychology.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			I think you kind of did mention that
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			but would you like to answer from your
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			psychological perspective the nature of demons and devils?
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			You did mention in your like you briefly
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			alluded towards Carl Jung when we find within
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:30
			the Jungian system an illusion towards archetypes and
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			basically the entire psychoanalytic depth psychology school of
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			thought, it is very hospitable to the idea
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			of sub-personalities within the human being, right,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			that a single human being is, it's not
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			a simple saying okay this is my personality
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			and that's it.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			We have conflicting thoughts, we have conflicting emotions
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:59
			and they are of the nature of being
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			very very strongly influential over our the course
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			that the choices that we make.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			We make the choices but yes there are
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			influencing factors from within.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:16
			So historically the ideas about demons, about shayateen,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			they're very very powerful ideas psychologically speaking in
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			how they empower people to deal with their
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			day-to-day challenges.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:33
			Like I use that that framework repeatedly especially
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			with people who share the same faith that
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			you know that can be used as scapegoating
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			as well.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			We have to that's and that's not conducive
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			towards mental health that you just attribute everything
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			towards demons or demonic influences and all of
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			that that there's that but then there is
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			also okay I get thoughts and they're incredibly
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			evil thoughts but they don't have to define
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			me and my choice and my action can
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			be independent of that.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:06
			That's very, those are very useful tools to
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			develop on.
