You pray for a devil that does not exist. You pray for a darkness that does not toil against you. You feel that where there is light there must also be darkness. It is you who fights against yourself, and is it not said that a house divided against itself cannot stand? You, who stand against the light, so that your own duplicity can contain darkness, you keep your self from the very light you crave. You jump from shadows for fear of what cannot exist, you personify evil so that you can feel comfortable in your faith, you ask for salvation from a scapegoat you stand against. Do you not see your own mistake? Open your eyes, oh Saint of Creation. You are drunk on your own philosophy." For you who seek evil in everything, you will find it . Whatever the mind obsesses upon, it will see it everywhere. Eventually, nothing will go unpainted by your brush, nothing will go untainted by your impure vision, and even children in their natural purity will become abominations before you. For even the devil has something to teach, and is neither your enemy nor your friend. Nothing is so, except as the mind makes it so. God has given you a divine insight, the reflection of god in you is as the reflection of the author in the character, the artist in the painting, and the architect in the building. God is within everything: God is in both goodness and evil. God has given you neither dogma nor does God regulate your life. God has not given you knowledge, but theory. God has given you enough inspiration to find God in everything, and as everything becomes painted by that brush, nothing will remain unholy, for even Death must become Birth, Illusion will become revealed, Obscurity will become Clarified, and the Darkness will become Light. Nothing is so except as the mind makes it so. "To Perfect Oneself, To Enlighten Mankind, To Heal and Steward the World. These are our law."
