Command hallucinations means people with schizophrenia feeling that they are being commanded to do something by demons or demonic forces. I have experienced command hallucinations and know what they are and how they work. Demons work by throwing craving like sensations into us- either they generate those feelings inside us by doing continuous sexual harms (sexual movements to excite humans to make them feel sexually aroused) or by doing it on others and getting those vibrations into us or they have these vibrations themselves. These vibrations are vibrations of sexual craving or any other type of craving like food craving or smell craving etc. The demons are beings of lower realms so they thrive on craving and aversion. (According to Buddhism, this is true- demons are beings that thrive in delusion and very high craving or aversion, mostly living in hell realms)

Negative vibrations of craving-

To me it seems clear that they also have no barrier against negative vibrations. For example when we are well we are ok with negative vibrations, like when someone says something harsh to us, we dont mind. Or some untoward event happens to us and we don’t delve in it. We are able to come out of it because we have equanimity- the quality of not reacting to outside sensory contact or media. We learn this in Vipassana meditation and train our minds to develop it more and more. The more we train the stronger our mind becomes and the stronger our boundary towards sensory media- especially fear, anger, hatred like vibrations which are gross in nature. Now when we are tense or fearful or angry we are not able to be so protected any more. Our boundaries become thinner. We react more when someone gets angry at us or we face anxiety due to something. We fear things easily. If we extrapolate this and think of demons as the far end of the spectrum, we can guess that these demons have no boundaries of any kind at all. They attract all negative vibration to themselves- they are but negative vibrations only. Maybe they have a subtle body because they can be in my space and I don’t feel their body. I just feel their auras.

Filling with vibration and doing movements-
These demons are filled with craving and aversion and they can somehow emit those vibrations to us. In my case I have a shower of vibration come over me every night and it feels like craving and slippery sensations. It is also hot and burning like. If I derive from my own experience of Vipassana (mindfulness of feelings or insight meditation) or read scriptures I know that this is sexual craving or vibrations of very high craving. These vibrations fill me up every night. I can feel like I am inside a blob of vibrations. Then these demons start doing movements inside this blob. They connect to various parts of my body and move around making movements inside my body- mostly to harm my body inflicting pain and torture. They also do sexual harms. The movements feels like air movements but is stronger than air – it can push and pull hard, is like some medium and some slime like quality stuff moving inside it – back and forth, but cannot be seen by eyes. It can be felt easily by other people. It is not a delusion. I have seen preists or imams in mosques who do exorcism diagnose the condition of the patient by diagnosing these movements. They are correct. The lesser these movements the better you are. When this had begun I used to feel one or two movements only, now over time the movements have increased to become a dense fog around me. The imams are right about this. And these movements are from outside. Even you can check and conclude that.

Controlling craving- thought becomes action
They have control over the craving vibrations. If they want me to do something, they fill me up with this vibration and then increase my craving for a particular thought – like go to the kitchen and eat that snack. The craving is a feeling that I feel suddenly. I am filled with this immense craving of that thought and walk upto the kitchen and eat the snack. I know I am not doing it myself. This is not just my own craving. It is my craving getting modulated by the vibrations that are thrown into me- there is amplification of craving that leads me to move from a craving “thought” to “action”. The thought to action shift happens too fast, almost immediately. We as beings can have thoughts, feelings, words and actions. As the thought potential increases the thought becomes an action while being accentuated by a feeling. That is how command hallucinations work. Of course a neurologist could help understand this better. But I am a Vipassana meditator so I can observe feelings well and know this to be true.
