Hello Aissy, I have also experienced the same thing you have.
When I attempt to project or do some spiritual work, These negative painful memories, regrets and thoughts start to come to the surface of my mind, The phone also starts ringing more often than it usually does.
I beleive Satan and his Jinns (devils who work for him) are connected to us in a deeper level and they desire to deviate us from the right path. If you look around The devils have gotten to many people, examples are the ones who seek Greatness (self sufficiency), thinking their is no intelligence greater than them in the universe, using their reptilian brain, thinking to themselves and not thinking about whats good for Everyone. The devils only job is to recruit people to abide in hell with him, they are rebellious against God, they do not wish to be humble and obedient.
I beleive Satan didn't bow down to Adam when instructed by God because Satan seeked self Greatness just like many humans do today.
I do not wish to get too detailed about this but you get the idea.
PEACE -Como
