Brother, your demon within is actually a daemon (not necessarily negative). Embrace him as your best friend. I discovered this truth just in the past few days. It has been known to man for millennia; The Discourses of Epictetus:
"Zeus has placed by every man a guardian, every man's Daemon, to whom he has committed the care of the man, a guardian who never sleeps, is never deceived. For to what better and more careful guardian could He have intrusted each of us? When then you have shut the doors and made darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not; but God is within, and your Daemon is within, and what need have they of light to see what you are doing? To this God you ought to swear an oath just as the soldiers do to Caesar."
