I’m unsure why this frustrates you so much and for so long, when people already answered to you that no one can give an actual answer as a fact. Each person has their own worldview and belief system (or lack of it) so one person’s truth is not a set in stone concrete reality for everyone on this planet.
Besides, don’t forget that here in BALG we’re not a cult so most definitely we don’t have to follow blindly whatever cosmic revelation and worldview one has.
If history is what you really and truthfully want to talk about, I can help with that, as the word “daemon/demon/daimon” is of Greek origin and let’s say I have a certain knowledge on this matter. I will copy paste here what I had in my old (hidden in Lounge) Journal that does not exist anymore (yes I’ve kept a copy because these are decades of research for me and took me countless hours to put all this knowledge into a post):
Daimon, Daemon, Demon
In ancient Greece, the word “Δαίμων” (Daimon, Daemon) involves piety. In epic poetry, the Gods are called Daemons.
It co-exists with the word God, but a Daemon was referring to the impersonal and undefined Power, while a God to the anthropomorphic divine entity. The meaning of Daemon was equivalent to the Fate.
It comes from the word “δαίω” and “δαίομαι” which means “distribute”. Distribute each one’s fate. So a Daemon was the one who distributes and as an extension, in a more general meaning, the one who defines the fate of a human.
Also in the word Daemon, they attributed the concept of guardian angel. “By the guard of Daemon”. From here comes the word “ευδαιμονία” which means bliss, happiness, the one having the favour of a Daemon. As helpers of the Gods, they send their decisions through prophecies, while watching the evolution of mortal’s lives until their soul is free from the bonds of their human body.
You can find them in many ancient texts, in works of Homer, Herodotus, Plutarch, Plato, Hesiod and others. They played an important role in the lives of humans and are mainly referred to as deities that act in the heavenly space between Gods and humans. They have a two-way relationship, that is, in some way, the intermediary messenger of the Gods to the earthly world and vice versa.
According to Hesiod, Daemons are the souls of the first mortals that Gods created, the Golden Race, the purest of them all, deified by Zeus himself to protect humans. While the rest of us belong to the fifth race, the Iron Race.
“First of all the immortals who live in Olympus made the Golden Race or mortal men. But since this Race was covered by soil, they became benevolent Demons, by the will of Zeus the great, Guardians of the mortals on earth, who watch for fair decisions and unfair works, dressed in fog, the rich givers who walk all around the earth. This royal privilege they gained.” Hesiod, Works and Days.
Plato, in his work Cratylus, describes Daemons as wise, “δαήμονες”, and explains that when a righteous human dies, acquires great fate and honour and becomes a Daemon himself. “That’s how I perceive the Daemon (Δαήμονα), that is every human being, Divine as long as he lives and after he dies, and I think he is rightly called Daimon.”
After Hesiod, philosophers like Aristotle and Plato said that Daemons are the “next after Gods” or that they are “children of Gods but not Gods” and they were separated as good fate or bad fate, Kalodaimon and Kakodaimon and was said that every human had one of each upon his birth.
Socrates could listen his Daemon from his childhood and was helping him to take the right decisions. He described it as a “voice I listen from within and which always when it comes, prevents me from things I shouldn’t do but never promotes”. They also had conversations about “everything that human wisdom could not compute”.
Philosophers like Thales and Empedocles were describing Daemons as the soul of the universe. The concept of Daemon reflects an immaterial form of high spirituality that diffuses into the universe and emanates from the Divine to help all humans or to test them in order to find their path in the difficult materialistic life.
However, the contact of the Daemon with a human requires an equivalent spiritual background for the mortals, for this is the only way they will perceive the kindness and benevolent nature of the Demon.
“This, my friends, is also the way the demon acts. As long as we are immersed in the mundane and changing many bodies as vehicles, it lets us fight on our own and persist, trying to find salvation through our own virtue and find our harbor. The soul however, having a good and eager struggle in long-lasting battles through innumerable births, and while its cycle approaches its end, defying the danger and showing goodwill for the outcome of its struggle, ascends to the higher beings with much sweat. That soul, God, does not find it unworthy to be helped by the familiar demon, but leaves anyone who shows willingness to help. And the demon is willing to save another soul with his encouragement. And the soul, because is close, hears him and is saved. If, however, (the soul) does not obey, the demon leaves (the soul) and has no happy ending.” Plutarch about Socrates Daimon.
All ancient Greek philosophers and writers who were initiated into the ancient mysteries (Eleusinia-Kavireia-Orphic-Cretan-Pythagorean, etc.) believed in reincarnation, in which the soul uses the body as a vehicle to incarnate on the earthly field. Gradually, through the opportunities presented in its consecutive incarnations, it evolves and once, when it is finished, it reaches the Theosis. The Demon can help in the faster perfection, as long as the mortal perceives Damon’s “vibrations” and “hears his voice”.
“But the thoughts of the Demons have light and shine upon the souls of the Demoniac people, without the need of words and names, which humans by using them among them as symbols see only Idols and images of thoughts. The same thoughts are known only by those who receive a Demonian light… Thus, the thoughts of the Demons, echo only among those who have righteous calm in their soul. These are precisely the people we call Sacred and Demoniac.” Plutarch about Socrates Daimon.
Plutarch also says that the souls who since birth they listen to their familiar Demon, they “become oracles and learn to leave their body during day and night and wander around the earth and come back again while have been present in conversations far away” Which is nothing else than Astral Projection. He also says how humans are more likely to hear their Demons when they’re half asleep or sleeping, because of the calmness of body and mind.
Plato in his work Republic, describes how the souls before they incarnate, choose their guardian Demon and not the other way around.
“As we have often said, there are three distinct kinds of soul in each of us, each with its own movements … But we must understand that the predominant kind of soul that God has given to each of us is a demon. It is what, as we said, resides at the top of the body and elevates us from the Earth to our heaven, for the truth is that we are heavenly creatures rather than earthly creatures. In the sky, the first birth of the soul occurred, and our roots are there - the divine soul attaches and roots our head, and from there the entire body rises downwards. So if one has devoted himself to wishes and quarrels and wasting all his momentum there, his thoughts are necessarily mortal.
He would even be completely mortal and himself, if possible; in fact, he is only a bit short of it, having developed only his mortal part. But if he is devoted to the love of learning and true wisdom and cultivates it primarily on the side of itself, he is bound to think of immortals and divines to approach the truth. It is a bit short of the attainment of immortality, as immortality is of course accessible to human nature. And because he always takes care of the divine soul and cares for the demon that is in him, it also arrives at a particular bliss (ευδαιμονία).”
Plato, Timaeus.
Lastly, our Daemons are receiving our souls when we die and lead us to the afterlife.
