Inner enemy - a method for controlling it

08/10/2011

Once a stream of forces is allowed to flow, it tends to become uncontrollable. The only way to control it is by going back to what caused it in the first place. So, in order to get the better of a rebellious crowd, first you seize the person at their head, their leader, for this is the person inspiring them and driving them on. While this person is free to be with them, they will keep going, but once their leader is disempowered the rebellion loses its momentum. What lesson can we draw from this example for our psychic life? That before we hurl ourselves at some inner enemy, at some feeling, passion or desire that is tormenting us – which would only reinforce it – we must go within and find where the enemy draws its forces from. By going back to the source, we awaken powers capable of controlling the enemy. This is the method: thanks to the effort we make to take stock of ourselves, we attract help from the spiritual world, and the enemy finally lays down its weapons.
