30/10/20 ###I had a dream just now

 I dreamt that there are no such things a[nd] (as) djinns and demons.  No mythical creatures either.  If I subtract everything, there are only us humans and animals.  The rest is our human imagination.

Do I trust this dream?  If I trust i[s] (it) then I was not fighting Iblis but my own imagination.  My life takes a different turn then.

Will I be willing to let go?  It is not useful to believe such creatures exist.

 It is more appropriate to believe that I was delusional.  This is due to the dopamine surge.  All these are hallucinations.

No Iblis, no jinns, and no demons.  Those are the products of a distraught mind.

I go back to my interview with Pal.  I don't believe in any of these things.

I take it that if I choose not to believe, I am fully recovered from the Bipolar illness.

After all, I never saw any of them standing in front of me.  They exist in my mind.  Between believing in mythical creatures and getting well, I choose to get well.

If I choose to stop believing in Iblis, djinns, and demons. should I stop believing in God and angels too?  I concluded that I should stop believing in myths.  Perhaps I should stop believing in God and angels if I consider them as myths.

This is a tough question.  Let me Google it.

I say angels are of a different classification.  However, for the purpose of simplification, let's *[] (say) I believe in God and the afterlife.

* Thank you, Sarah.

From now on my scope is just God and the afterlife.  I don't want to collude my mind with myths and supernatural beings.  In my case, I subscribe to a Pantheistic God.  This is the Infinite Intelligence that permeates across all matters.

Pantheism, the doctrine that the universe conceived of as a whole is God and, conversely, that there is no God but the combined substance, forces, and laws that are manifested in the existing universe.

Honey, if you notice, I have to sieve between what is imagined and what is real.  Mythical creatures are leftovers from the archaic belief on what our imagination produced.  On the other hand, God and the afterlife are something that we can reason.

So now, when I read World of Mythology, I will look at it from the perspective of human experience spiced with colluded imagination.  The mind tends to delete, distort, and generalize.

OK, I'm making progress.  From here on, my 15 years battle with Iblis is none other than my battle with my own inner demon, which is Bipolar Affective Disorder.  It's a form of mental illness.  Not some mythical creatures I led to believe.
