From the book, "The Lord of the Flies", Simon pictures the new beast as the evil that is inside of everyone. He sees this human as once heroic and sick.

To quote directly from the book... "However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick."
Who does Simon imagine the beast to be?
Simon told the other boys at a meeting that perhaps there was a beast and that the beast was just themselves. This indicates that Simon does not believe that the beast is a creature with wings, claws and teeth but that it is simply the boys themselves. The beast is just the desire and capacity to do evil which is within us all. Later in the book, after Samneric report actually seeing the beast, I quote... "However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick."
What threat does the beast make to Simon?
The beast tells Simon that it is a part of him, and that it suggests that it is within every human on the island, foreshadowing the idea that the true threat lies within themselves and their own actions.
What is Simon's opinion of the beast inhabiting the island?
Having just read the book I don't think that Simon was ever "continually" reminded of anything. I think you might be refering to one particular passage in chapter 6, which I'll quote directly.... Simon, walking in front of Ralph, felt a flicker of incredulity --a beast with claws that scratched, that sat on a mountain-top, that left no tracks and yet was not fast enough to catch Samneric. However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick.

The identical twin brothers are called Sam and Eric, or Samneric for short, not Simon and Eric. In chapter 6: Beast From air Samneric simultaneously describe the beast, and I quote.... "It was furry.

What message does Simon need to take to the other boys in Lord of the Flies chapter 9?
Simon needs to communicate to the other boys that the "beast" they are afraid of is not a physical entity, but rather a manifestation of the darkness that resides within each of them. He tries to convey the idea that the true evil is the inherent savagery in human nature, and that is what they should be wary of.
What is Simon saying when he thinks the beast may be inside the boys themselves?
When Simon suggested that, and I quote... "Maybe.... maybe, there is a beast." The assembly 'cried out savagely.' When Ralph asked in shock and amazement "You, Simon? You believe in this?" Simon replied "I don't know..." Then a storm of protests erupted from the boys, shouts included; "Sit down! Shut up!" And "Sod You!" When Simon clarified his statement by saying "What I mean is... maybe it's only us." Piggy was so shocked that he shouted, "Nuts!"
What is the lord of flies?
The Lord of the Flies is the bloody, detached pig's head that Jack pierces on a stake in the forest, as an offering to the beast. This symbol becomes the most important image in the novel, especially when Simon confronts the pig head in the glade. The pig's head seems to speak to Simon and tells him that evil lies within every human, and it promises to have "fun" with him. The Lord of the Flies is the physical appearance of the beast and a symbol of evil. The book makes references to The Bible where the Lord of Flies recalls a kind of Satan figure. On the other hand, Simon recalls Jesus.
