Evil Does What The Rest Of Us Doesn't

Looks like the Witches told Kristen to tithe her movie wages.

Here's something I LOVE.
You'll see how it got put aside for two women with a broom.

Steve Sanchez has generously contributed the following article.

The topic is "how evil spirits mess with mankind".  It's a passage from Emanuel Swedenborg - you know, the guy Bill Duby said he knew so intimately, he could have been Swedenborg in a previous life or that Swedenborg's spirit comes by to live in Bill's body (probably to kick Bill's ass for being a tool).

You might find the below passage comes from the Arcana Celestia - that huge volume of books Bill kept in the attic gathering dust, serving as a home for roaches and ants.

What Steve quotes below is a Swedenborg passage Bill Duby didn't want you to read because he very likely never read it himself and the Witches of Ellsworth Street don't want you to read because you might start figuring out what just what is happening at the Academy for Psychic Studies.

I mean, why would the Witches want the followers to figure out they've been glued and screwed all these years?

Think back to those innocent, fun-filled days when there seemed to be nothing in the way of your spiritual enlightenment.  The path to truth and spiritual fulfillment seemed sure and clear, the road ahead wide open to those who would ignore the distractions of life, love and family to pursue the dream they were born to achieve.

In the pursuit of that dream, how much have we all given up?

Think of the hobbies and interests you had before joining the Academy for Psychic Studies.  How many of them did you retain?  Did you continue with your interests outside the cult, or did they ridicule you for daring to have a life outside their perverted and deranged environment?

Were you given praise and acclaim for your individual interests and skills that were seen as of value to the cult?

How many of us loved to engage in creative pursuits from art to woodworking to writing and music to anything else?  How many of those pursuits were turned around, redirected and re-purposed to achieve the obscene objectives of the cult called the Academy for Psychic Studies?

How many of us found ourselves having less time for friends, family and our personal, individual interests?

How many of us had a wonderful romance crumble into strife and conflict by the demands of the Witches of Ellsworth Street?

How many of us found our relationships with our children compromised or even destroyed by the interference and "heavenly parenting" of Bill Duby and his Witches of Ellsworth Street?

Were you one of the many who entered the Academy for Psychic Studies with a devoted partner or spouse then found yourself leaving the clutches of the cult alone?

Take a good read of the passage below.

You might find the way Swedenborg describes the way evil operates to separate good and decent people like you from the things they love and engulfs them within the tentacles of evil using false affection and praise, lies and deception probably sounds pretty damn familiar.

=========================

Evil spirits never fight against things other than those which the man loves; the more ardently he loves them, the more fiercely do they wage the combat. It is evil genii who fight against the things that pertain to the affection of good, and evil spirits that fight against those which pertain to the affection of truth. 

As soon as they notice even the smallest thing which a man loves, or perceive as it were by scent what is delightful and dear to him, they forthwith assault it and endeavor to destroy it, and thereby the whole man, for man's life consists in his loves.

Nothing is more delightful to them than to destroy a man in this way, nor would they desist, even to eternity, unless they were driven away by the Lord. They who are malignant and crafty insinuate themselves into man's very loves by flattering them, and thus bring the man among themselves; and presently, when they have brought him in, they attempt to destroy his loves, and thereby murder the man, and this in a thousand ways that cannot be comprehended.

[3] Nor do they wage the combat simply by reasoning against things good and true, because such combats are of no account, for if they were vanquished a thousand times they would still persist, since reasonings against goods and truths can never be wanting. 

But they pervert the goods and truths, and inflame with a certain fire of cupidity and of persuasion, so that the man does not know otherwise than that he is in the like cupidity and persuasion; and at the same time they enkindle these with delight that they snatch from the man's delight in something else, and in this way they most deceitfully infect and infest him; and this they do with so much skill, by leading him on from one thing to another, that if the Lord did not aid him, the man would never know but that the case was really so.

[4] They act in a similar way against the affections of truth that make the conscience: as soon as they perceive anything of conscience, of whatever kind, then from the falsities and failings in the man they form to themselves an affection; and by means of this they cast a shade over the light of truth, and so pervert it; or they induce anxiety and torture him.

They also hold the thought persistently in one thing, and thus fill it with phantasies; and at the same time they clandestinely clothe the cupidities with the phantasies; besides innumerable other arts, which cannot possibly be described to the apprehension.

These are a few of the means, and only the most general, by which they can make their way to man's conscience, for this above all else they take the greatest delight in destroying.

[5] From these few statements, and they are very few, it may be seen what temptations are, and that they are, in general, such as the loves are, and from this we may see what was the nature of the Lord's temptations, that they were the most terrible of all, for such as is the greatness of the love, such is the fearful character of the temptation. 

The Lord's love was the salvation of the whole human race, and was most ardent; consequently it was the whole sum of the affection of good and affection of truth in the highest degree.

Against these, with the most malignant wiles and venom, all the hells waged the combat; but still the Lord conquered them all by His own power. 

Victories are attended with the result that the malignant genii and spirits afterwards dare not do anything; for their life consists in their being able to destroy, and when they perceive that a man is of such a character that he can resist, then at the first onset they flee away, as they are wont to do when they draw near to the first entrance to heaven, for they are at once seized with horror and terror, and hurl themselves backward.
