I was talking about my subjective reality. If in your (subjective) reality demons appear, it means that you allow them to appear (but this doesn't imply that you are deluded
).
If this confuses you, please read Steve's articles about subjective reality.

Suppose you have found a satisfying explanation for your existence, that all pieces fit together.
Your theory keeps standing as long as there are no contradictory elements appearing in your life that you cannot explain with your theory.
If something very odd happens in your life, and you can explain this with your theory, it means you are reinforcing that theory.
If you cannot explain this odd thing with your theory, it means you must adapt your theory.
