I sat and saw my mind
trying to make me suffer.

But when I
don't believe its lies
it has no power.

The emotional pain
from physical injury

is just Evil trying
to provoke you into
its state of being

using thoughts that you believe,
while being unconscious
of its attempts to fool you.

You believe lies.

This may happen
in an instance.

Like a dart of thought,
or a swarm of thought-arrows,
trying to penetrate your defenses.

If you remain aware,

these attempts
have no effect
on your being,

you remain
in your well-being.

But Evil doesn't stop,
and as soon as
you become unaware,

it's there tempting,
distracting, provoking
you deeper down.

The more anchored
into our aware self we become,

the more Evil loses
its power over us
and we can become
truly free.
