A parasite in our mind - Question of the week in Ecotrain

As if fresh from Pandora's box, the demons enter the human psyche disguising themselves as monsters who wear the colors of fear, intolerance, selfishness and how much low-vibration feeling swirls around men.
Our evil as human beings has to do with what we fear, hate, envy, resent, and also with what unbalances us, with what alters our brain chemistry. And, in this last case, it deserves external help to dominate the monsters that grow inside as parasites that eat away at the mental and emotional health of those who house them as part of an ominous inheritance.
So, we can say that we all hide monsters deep inside us, and it takes quite a bit of internal work to get out of them, bad tenants that diminish our growth and evolution. The good and bad dwells within us, it is time to recognize it and work so that it is the light and not the darkness that guides our steps.
In recent times, @eco-alex tells us that it has been the target of attacks by dark beings and refers to it as such:

Have you met any monsters recently? These past few months I have met quite a few, and I have to say that there seem to be far more monsters around than there used to be! By monsters, I of course mean people... human beings, who for one reason or another have started to act out in ways that are violent, aggressive, paranoid, narcissistic, and any number of other traits. We live in difficult times, and it is fair to say that mental health is now a global issue that reaches every city, town, and even street in the world. It can be hard to know how to handle such situations, especially if someone is being very aggressive toward you. Things can turn quite nasty very easily, but also as i have witnessed on many an occasion, things can also be dealt with a minimal of fuss and fury.


From this experience, this week's QOTW is forged: How do you deal with monsters?

And, stopping a little to think about the origin of what we call monsters, I feel that we could relate them to the fluttering of the capital sins of Christianity: pride, greed, anger, envy, lust, laziness, gluttony: which are not "capital" because of their magnitude, but because of their power to engender other sins. And, it is that Christian morality prepares or induces to recognize the enemy or enemies, to avoid falling into internal and external wars for evils that domesticate us and settle in us taking different shapes, sizes and names, according to race, culture and religion.

Seen like this, it seems that those monsters we call today: anxiety, depression, paranoia, dissociative identity disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, selective mutism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anorexia, insomnia, stress, and all those personality disorders are based on excess. With religious names or medical terms, they come alive and develop in human relationships.

We become monsters to the extent that we dismiss tolerance as a balancing and saving trait not only to be at peace with others but also with ourselves. Within us dwell the lamb and the wolf, the loving child, and the aggressive monster.

Or as in the Cherokee legend: "Within each of us there is a hard battle between two wolves. One of them is an evil, violent wolf, full of anger and aggression. The other is all goodness, love, joy, and compassion... He whom one feeds, will win and you feed the wolf that you decide by your attention."

If we let ourselves be carried away by the strong currents of the intoxicating waters of hate, anger, intolerance, stress, mental and spiritual disorders; then, we will be leaving the field free to our evil wolf and it will be he who will take control of our actions, our relationships and our life, extinguishing the light of the loving and compassionate wolf. It is up to us to administer our battles and work them out in such a way that we do not cause harm and instead become instruments of Love and Peace, as this beautiful prayer says:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

However, I believe that if we are more curious than usual and take off the mask of every monster, we will discover that it is our old enemy, FEAR: fear of not being enough, fear of not having enough, fear of not seeming enough, fear of not deserving enough, assuming different facets to attack us and attack others through us. Bending our esteem, altering our mind and perception of everything. Always lurking and taking advantage of our weaknesses to present itself inflated, bulging, enlarged by the power we give it, and that we can take away if we become aware, because it is only a parasite that invades our mind and in us is the power to reduce it or enhance it.
