Cruelly Yours: The element of Cruelty in Human affairs

Where does Cruelty come from? A lot of people misunderstand deliberately. Humans are (I don't expect anyone to agree) sadistically inclined. In simple language it means that arguments, quarrels actually give us pleasure and an excuse to show-off.Not intelligence but VANITY rules this world.The olds sages who gave us the Occult insight into human affairs indicated this Indian division of the Cosmos into Devas and Rakshasa (demons).The Devas are of course the ones who want to uplift and progress and ethically raise mankind into godhead. The purpose of the Rakshasa is to block this at every possible move; from the moral view-point this is utterly saddening and rather cruel and we can wonder exactly to what purpose?In fact occult sciences say that the rakshasas are there to concretize our aspirations, intentions and efforts. They are a forging force. There is no easy way out.Is it surprising then, at the core, the world is not changing and every weakness of human nature is exploited ever more. The devil has no kindness. It has a single voracious character. It feeds on weakness and grows. You cannot influence it by small gestures and good wishes because its responses are as temporary as your behavior pattern.The human persona is 99% subconscious which is a doorway to many entities and forces that have had opportunities to be established and use us as instruments. That is where the change is required. We should become "KINDNESS" so that the other forces cannot find a doorway to enter our consciousness and influence our behavior. Certain actions, Activities, Feelings and Responses should become impossible thru our persona.How will you know where you are in your personal spiritual emancipation? The world will throw you in some cauldron and then you can see for yourself the responses that come out forth from you.
