An excerpt from Emotional Exorcism:

Through four types of negative early learning experiences, our caregivers install the Master Demon program into us, just as a technician installs software onto a computer’s hard drive. With each new hurtful incident and self-blame, the Master Demon grows and is strengthened by our negative emotional energy. Since it forms so early through childhood experiences, we don’t realize that it is separate from us. We go through life believing that we’re defective and unworthy. In reality the Master Demon is just an ingrained program that was installed without our awareness or approval.

The Soldier Demon Metaphor

Negative life experiences also produce self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. These negative patterns are represented by a similarly recognizable metaphor, the Soldier Demon. Soldier Demons are programmed to protect and serve the Master Demon to keep the negative core belief intact. They generate emotional negativity in their hosts which provides a power supply, an energy source for the demons. Negative emotions include fear, anxiety, sadness, depression, despair, anger, hate, self-loathing, guilt, jealousy, etc.
