Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Every petty cruelty, every murder starts with a thought. Just a thought, a whisper of resentment, that if un-resisted breeds further thoughts, then an impulse, which turns to compulsion, and finally..... an act. Once a thought mutates into an act it is irreversible. It explodes like energy in a vacuum creating a universe of its own. A universe, at first, undistinguishable from the one prior to it, but for a subtle spin. But the subtle gap will grow, and keep on growing, and it will never stop. Beware of your thoughts, they turn easily into demons, and they possess your mind, your heart, ... your soul. Ps. We can tell how our mind intuit the evil influence of imagination by the number of different words to which we refer to demons: ghoul, ogre, gnome, affret, imp, kobolt, nix, poltergeist, fiend cacodemon, incubus, succubus and many others.

An act is just as irreversible as a thought. > It explodes like > energy in a vacuum creating a universe > of its own.

What is your understanding of " soul " ? What about " heart " ? Are those some precious innocent parts inside your person that should be kept " unpossessed " from your thoughts? Then I have bad news for you. Thoughts are everywhere and they are always possessive. Thoughts possess the whole universe. In fact the thoughts are the universe. No thought - no universe. And, yes, the universe is full of demons and of other things. Thoughts are labelling something " demon / angel " for the convenience of your imagined " heart & soul " . The only way that the universe is not possessed by thoughts is to have no thoughts. That moment the universe as we know it disappears. > Ps.

Those are just some childish fantasy fairy tale figures and you can maybe see from them how far identification goes. > Boo! > Pete Ahh... S.
