I’ve been reading The Warrior of the Light off and on. The other day I dropped the book and it was opened to this page as I picked it up. I shared this that same morning with a client that was telling me that they had grown tired of their business, that all there seemed to be was more and more work and they didn’t seem to be getting any further ahead.
“Sometimes Evil pursues the Warrior of the Light, and when it does, he calmly invites it into his tent.
He asks Evil: “Do you want to hurt me or use me to hurt others?”
Evil pretends not to hear. It says that it knows of the darkness in the Warrior’s soul. It touches wounds that have not yet healed and calls for vengeance. It mentions certain tricks and subtle poisons that will help him to destroy his enemies.
The Warrior of the Light listens. If conversation lags, he encourages Evil to continue talking by asking all about its various plans.
When he has heard everything, he gets up and leaves. Evil feels so weary and empty after all this talk that it does not have the strength to follow him.”
