He has the Devil in Him
Past teachings can be energetically fraught. Join me on the guided path to reconsider traditional models and understand the role of the current Wave of Healers, the change makers our children are.

A recent visit with my grandchildren was joyous as always - they are the blessing and in them I see the new wave of energies here to reshape humanity. I love our conversations and their ideas, generally unfettered by adult limitations.
The only thing that piqued my attention was my middle grandson mentioning a boy at school who, ‘had the Devil in him’. He then relayed some of this child’s boisterous actions with recounted disapproval.
Asking what ‘having the Devil in him’ meant didn’t bring much of an answer beyond God did not like him because he was naughty.
We discussed how every child was a part of God, and that ‘God’ loved His children equally. This notion posed an inherent contradiction that even a child could detect.
If you recall from the last article Energetic Truths, I mentioned that we are all energy and that energy split into light and dark for the benefit of having a range of experiences and flexing our Freewill.
How do you explain this in terms of energy to a child barely out of pre-school?
So I ploughed on with my God analogy for Source using Socratic questioning to help him understand that all are one, God is love, and what we do to one we do to all. Finally ending with allowing each of us to learn from our actions in our Divine Right timing - Freewill. I’m sure the conversation will continue.
A Wave of Volunteers and Energetic Attachment
Two metaphysical possibilities for unruly behaviour that could be described as ‘having the Devil in him’ include energetic attachments and those whose behaviour forces change. Let’s begin with the latter.
VOLUNTEERS: ADHD and Other Disruptors
There is much discussion about uncontrollable children, who may well be described as ‘having the Devil in him’ or assigned the various deficit disorders. We are currently living in a time of massive change. The present wave of children form the Fifth Wave of volunteers on Earth to support shifting old patterns and dynamics to create healthier ways of being.
Our current education system, and I speak from an informed perspective gained as a teacher, is working towards allowing each child to develop at their own pace. Traditionally this has not been the model, where children were expected to meet standards based on age. Further, teachers have been forced to move through a set curriculum designed to prepare children for a life according to accepted norms at a crushing pace; one that does not allow the individual student to absorb or process the content in their own right timing. This pressure requires students to be compliant, good listeners and to fall into mainstream behaviours.
Now, from an outsiders perspective, it is obvious that children who present with challenging behaviours, school refusal, attention deficits, the Autism Spectrum, or mental health issues are forcing change. We are seeing more specialist schools developing where there are fewer students, and greater flexibility in structure and curriculum to meet individual needs. There has also been an increase in home schooling for all or part of a child’s education.
My understanding is that this current wave of children, born into anxiety and imbalance on Earth, have volunteered to create this change. It certainly is evident that change is needed to ‘educate’ a child with rapid curiosity and a voracious appetite for absorbing new material. Remembering that each child is an independent soul with the innate wisdom of All that Is, perhaps, we will see a shift to support children as learners in their areas of interest rather than forcing a set curriculum.
When I observe our youngest grandchild at play, I wonder how education will serve him.
One of the most significant teachings of the adult, educated world is one of inner limitation:
Discouraging children from communicating with their imaginary friends because of how it is perceived by others (traditionally met with threats of institutionalisation) effectively cuts off their inner communication. Their guides and inner guidance are no longer able to provide information about their purpose and to know themselves as spirit.
It is no wonder our current system needs to undergo rapid change and perhaps it is time to view those who don’t fit the model as the change makers they are.
Are you the parent, grandparent, teacher or caregiver of a child of the Fifth Wave? These sometimes challenging precious souls are not only here to facilitate change, but also to support our growth as individuals.
ENERGETIC ATTACHMENT
There are also other aspects to consider when we discuss the fear of ‘evil’ finding its way into us as human beings and that some beings/energies are not deserving of unconditional love.
When our energy separates from the physical body, it is invited to return to Source by following the path of light that presents. Sometimes, the spirit does not notice this path or if it does, does not recognise it for what it is. If this happens, spirits of deceased humans can become Earthbound, sometimes not realising they have passed or not knowing what to do if they have.
In biblical terms this was referenced as 'purgatory', however, we have come to understand it as any energetic point beyond the physical realm that remains connected to the physical.
Religious Interference
Becoming Earthbound can occur for many reasons, but one of the most unnecessary interruptions hindering returning to Source comes from religious dogma the individual unquestioningly accepted while alive: The belief in sin and lack of worthiness. These are standard fare in most religious teachings created by the Magisterium or equivalent to control the masses through fear:
“we confess our unworthiness to stand in your presence as your children…forgive our disobedience to your will,” from the Anglican confessional.
"I confess that I am a poor sinner. I am not worthy to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ." The Catholic holy communion. An aside: Another contradiction to Christ’s teachings where he stated he was not to be worshipped because he was one with all.
and
“I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon,” from the Muslim Supplication for Forgiveness.
Without going into it here in detail, energetically we understand God/Source/All that Is is one. That we are each here to have experiences, to exercise Freewill, and to remember the love we are. In biblical terms, we each have grace, God’s good favour which cannot be earned but is freely given to all. Each are in His image - or for the non-religious, each are a unique fragment of Source and all form the One energy that cannot be separated. Therefore it stands that none is better nor worse than another but having experiences and exercising Freewill for many purposes.
Religious dogma that has been used to suppress the behaviour of the masses can have significant metaphysical consequrence. For some, it causes the spirit to be oblivious to the Divine light within themselves and interferes with the spirit's ability to follow that light back to Source.
Lost Souls and Self-Created Purgatory
If we aren’t confident in our worthiness at the time of our death, and are focused on physical events, people and experiences, wishing to ‘make things right’ and seeking forgiveness, etc, we are often too distracted to notice our energetic connection to Source, our divine light, ready to guide us onwards.
If this happens, spirits of deceased humans can become Earthbound, sometimes not realising they have passed or not knowing what to do if they have. This focus causes it to exist within its own purgatory - lost between Source and Earth because of the strength of teachings of undeserving and unworthiness. In biblical terms this was referenced as 'purgatory', however, we have come to understand it as any energetic point beyond the physical realm that remains connected to the physical.
When I work with this energy in clinic, it often takes the form of a lost, fearful entity trapped in the earth plane or who has connected to another, seeking comfort, forgiveness, or simply joined a bright energy in the physical in the hope of being guided to somewhere better.
Connected to an individual, this energetic attachment can influence the person’s feelings and behaviour, so in a way, we can see someone ‘with the devil in them’ as having an energetic attachment.
Contrary to religious teachings, none of this is to be feared. Lost energy, fearful energy, energy that seeks comfort in familiar behaviours, does not need nor deserve to be vilified as it too, is part of the energetic whole. All are One and we each have the capacity to restore balance to unhealed energy.
Other Reasons for Energetic Attachment
There are many reasons attachment can occur beyond the belief in sin and unworthiness, including traumatic or sudden 'accidental' death, starvation, distorted love, delirium, suicide, or excessive grief.
Accidents can occur so swiftly, the person's spirit may not recognise they have passed.
Guilt and remorse are common distractions, and occur where the deceased is seeking forgiveness and to right a perceived wrong.
Addictions are particularly low vibration activities that can distract the deceased from moving on. The focus is usually self-serving, as the spirit seeks to satisfy its 'needs' through appetite and desire for food, drugs, alcohol, or personal power.
An individual who dies in youth or middle age may, even as spirit, still be angry, resentful, or hold a strong belief in revenge. This can be sufficient to distract them from returning to Source.
Distorted love can work in a number of ways. A jealous partner may attach energetically to their widow/er. A widow/er may hold their partner to the earth-plane through excessive grief. Concern for the well-being of a dearly loved one, or the misguided promise to return may also hold the deceased energy from ascending. This can occur many lifetimes before.
When a child’s spirit has not moved on it is often because they are lost, or frightened and confused about why they are being ignored by those still in the physical.
Regardless of the reason, lost souls are unhealed energy that do not beneficially contribute to nor belong on the Earth-plane and can be helped to returned to Source.
No Judgment - The Only Way Forward
The greatest change is to create possiblity for new ways of thinking. Can we learn to live without judgment of ourselves and of others?
Anything or anyone that teaches judgment is teaching conditional love. If you behave [this] way, then you will deserve love.
This is not who we are.
Can we accept that we are infinite souls each evolving our physical aspect in Divine timing? That some are playing the role of the antagonist to assist others to evolve? That we may need to continue an unhealed role in this lifetime to choose something better and conclude a contract or unhealed connection?
There are so many reasons beyond the physical to explain why we do what we do. How is our Ego well enough informed to make a judgment?
The truth is, it cannot, and therefore we cannot.
When we step out of judgment we step back into our Divine selves.
Blessings dear ones, all is well.
