Know Your Enemy

Comment: "I like your comments about the churches, temples and such. I like to call these the Principalities of the world that Paul wrote about in Ephesians 6:12".

jd, you are not far off.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places". Ephesians 6:12 KJV

Paul was communicating an urgent warning to those who were on the brink of going the Path ("Ephesian" means "border-dweller") that they must always recognize their true adversary. It is not human opposition that man, on-or-off the Path will struggle against. The human adversary is actually the last link of a long chain. Man's struggle is against unseen, invisible energies which conspire to control and confine humanity. Among them are:

- the vibratory emanations of the twelvefold Zodiac,
- the archons and the aeons of this nature,
- reflection-sphere entities such as light-spirits which constantly attempt to influence man,
- the entities known as "shades" (the dead who have not moved on, but, in etheric form attempt to remain close to the material earth so they can leech certain energies from physical humanity).

There are a legion of invisible adversaries organized and arrayed against mankind, influencing every thought and emotion. Until we come to grips with this knowledge and understand that we are mostly not in control of what we think or feel, we will continue to be victimized by these unseen energies. In order to walk the Path to a Good End, we must reverse this state-of-affairs. Hence, Paul's warning to the Ephesians is a warning to all who would follow the Path: the 'battle' we will have to engage in is against an adversary that cannot be seen. Let's be clear on this.

There is an Invisible War on Humanity that is being waged. We must recognize who the 'combatants' are and what 'weapons' are at their disposal in order to avoid being conquered and controlled by these subtle but extremely powerful and effective vibratory emanations.

In this post certain items have been hyper-linked for the convenience of those who may wish to become more familiar with the characteristics of the powers, principalities and rulers of the darkness of this world.

We'll close with the following quote from Sun Tzu:

"So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.

If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.

If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself."

Know your enemy.
