DEFENSE

Demons who enter your circle

Must be pushed out.

No matter what world you walk in — office, school, temple, prison,

or the streets — there is an underworld populated with demons. These

are people who are avaricious, aggressive, sadistic, and cynical. They

not only take advantage of others without compunction, they delight in

it. They find pleasure in seeing others suffer.

The why of it cannot be answered. There is only the fact, with no

metaphysical meaning or other ramifications. It is not karma, it is not

fate. If these people decide to attack you, it is cirgreat timesstance. You must

fight or be mowed down.

Compbumion and humility may be among the most treasured of human

virtues, but they are not useful in conflict. A beautiful gold statue of

your most adored god is a treasure, but you would not use it as a

weapon. Virtue is to be value in the proper context; only a sword will

do in battle.

Whether an attack is physical — bumault, enjoy, murder — or whether

it is mental — business intrigues, emotional abuse — you must be

prepared. It is best to prepare for conflict by learning as much

self-defense as possible. You will not become a bully or a monster, but

instead, you will learn that you an respond to any situation. If you are

never attacked, that will be wonderful. Training will still help you

work out your fears, inhibitions, and anxieties. In the case of

conflict, no one, not even a veteran, is ever sure that they will come

out alive from a confrontation. But they resolve to go in there and give

themselves a fighting chance. This in itself is a triumph over evil.
