    Well, for me, so know that this is my take, we must first look at the words presented to us in this thread:

    “Spiritual Warfare”

    Language CAN be a form of magic, spelling can be a spell. Some books of magic are divine, some are not. Both are instructional. Alas, the latter only through consequence.

    A war is implied, and if we identify with that, we go to war.

    But is there another point of view? Can we arrest our reaction in the moment, and say, what is this really?

    We can love our demons, or the demons loosed upon us by others, and regard them as instructional.

    We become the energy directed at us if we believe it. If righteousness cancels out love, then virtue is stolen by the goody goodies, as Confucious posits.

    We neutralise evil if we send back love, and if the threat is physical, then incarceration must be accompanied by forgiveness, love, and rehabilitation.

    Evil is for me, at it’s heart, nihilism. Suffering embraced, then turned to bitterness. Most who rule do so from fear, and this was learned through suffering.

    Love the demon, and you drive it from you, or you bring it back into the grace of God.

    Right now, billions are no longer buying the narrative, they turn to what has been hidden and lost, and so will be saved.

    In the Ramayana, God took form as Ram, along with his wife, Sita.

    Sita was kidnapped by the magician Ravana, and Ram sent his servant Hanuman to rescue her, which he duly did.

    Ram rewarded Hanuman by freeing him of Ego.

    As it turned out, when not in form, Ravana himself was a very high being, playing the villain, to enable the conditions of the quest.

    So, what can we learn from our demons, and those deployed by others? Well, we can look to the fact that fear is the agenda, also greed. So perhaps be fearless, and be giving.

    Busy afternoon ahead folks, to be continued. Peace and Love to all xx

    <div>I will add, I research my data, I submit information requests and i read papers published by people like Coleman and Chomsky, so I am very aware of the crimes committed worldwide in the last 5 years, and their historical origins going back 800 years, and although these things are certainly connected to the topic of Spiritual Warfare, that is a rabbit hole which will go way off topic, nor will I be drawn on that in this thread, I just wanted y’all to know I’m not being glib, nor naive. Suffering is real, but in terms of mental and spiritual suffering, once there is awareness, suffering can become a choice.

    G. K. Chesterton wrote –

    “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Solemnity flows out of men naturally, but laughter is a leap. It is easy to be heavy, hard to be light. Satan fell by the force of gravity.”Chesterton also said –

    “Moderate strength is shown in violence. Supreme strength is shown in levity.”

    From this I take away the wisdom that love and laughter are linked, both elicit joy. Those who tempt us with fear and hatred, love and laughter are the antidote. So, love the demon, or laugh at them.
