I shuddered when I read that, because it describes in such detail something that almost happened to me. I was almost gone before I finally started resisting that...individual...that secreted itself into my psyche. I became fully identified with philosophies and ideas that were not my own, believing they were my thoughts when in fact I had been most gravely poisoned. Pushing it out was one of the most arduous, painful experiences of my life, and I felt as if an enormous hole had been left in my chest that still has yet to fully close, though the Light has slowly began to fill it and heal the wounds.

This has been one of my greatest lessons this year- to constantly monitor the state of my thoughts, and be aware of what I am thinking about and why. There ARE those capable of planting thoughts within your mind if awareness is not maintained, and it only takes one seed thought to sprout roots and crush out the psyche. Idle daydreaming may seem harmless, but when those drifting thoughts perpetually turn to things of darkness a doorway is opened that should be left closed.

I felt myself beyond such tactics, with such faith in my own resolve and abilities, and it was that pride that nearly devastated me. I am aware that I have a rather expansive role and reputation in various spiritual communities, and the havoc I could have wreaked once my will had been fully crushed is a sobering thought. I feel that there were a few wounds I managed to open regardless, and repairing the damage and dealing with the guilt has been a tough pill to swallow. Still, I am very appreciative toward those who managed to shake the sense into me without attempting to beat the corruption out of me by force, which would have only strengthened my belief that they were my enemies. If not for their great patience and even a bit of cleverness I would likely still be attempting to drown myself.

Thank you for such an expansive reference Pickle.
