Why is it strange? I did not say they don't have free will. I said they are not evil. This belief comes from actually experience.
So your citations... rather your sources are nothing but your own experiences? And all this time you have been urging people to follow your subjective experiences and ignore what is written in scriptures, and ignore their own negative experiences because.....?
Have you gone and checked in every nook and corner of the universe, physical and spiritual, for this to be your fact that no evil entity exists?
So they are capable of evil, you agree with that, yet it is not possible for at least some of them to be actually evil?

Across the veil/ spirit worlds/ astral levels... Whatever you want to call it is not a physical realm. At least most certainly the spaces in between. Evil is an incarnation of fear. Fear is crippling for any being amplified a 1000 times in spirit. an evil "demon" that exists in the spirit world would simply be wallowing in its own hell completely powerless. Only advanced beings traverse the depths. Part of being "advanced" is benevolence. Evil is a physical trait my friend, not a spiritual one. Hold on to fears as you traverse in to the spirit world, my friend and yes you will find yourself amongst your demons because that is where you chose to put your mind.
Evidence for the underlined parts please.
The rest... I agree with you as I have been through that phase. I have been astral travelling too you see.
But that does not prove non-existence of sinister entities in the spirit world on their own.

I know you are a religious man, but in my view abrahamic religions are religions of fear. Of course you are going to believe in demons because you are taught to fear them. What most of you fail to realize us that your own religion tells you that your are made in the image of god. This is true!!!!! You have all the creative power that god does, how you choose to create is your business, but Id rather not have demons.
The only fear that these religions teach is the fear of God alone. When you fear God there is nothing else to be afraid of. This is the only message of fear that you will get from these religions.
You have a misunderstanding of what these religions preach. The underlined parts... please refer them again.
And since you enjoyed your chance attempting to preach us our own religion, I think I should get my turn too. You are a native american shaman you say. Yet you fail to realize what your own ancestors believed in. Here is a tiny list for you:
List of Native-American Demons
And if you do not follow your ancestors here then is it that you are claiming to have discovered something that your forefathers after "centuries of communicating with the spirit world" (this is your claim not mine) failed to discover? This does not mean that I am saying that your ancestors's beliefs in these demons are correct in every detail but they did believe in evil entities from the spiritual realm... a belief that you chose to abandon.
