Beating the Devil

Drifters

Drifters are people going through the motions of life motivated by one or many of the 6 basic fears.

These 6 basic fears are fear of: poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of love, old age, and/or death.

The younger the person is when the seed of fear is planted, the easier it is for the devil to control them in this hypnotic state. Time does the rest of the work. 98% of people are drifters. 2% of people are non-drifters.

2 of the fears are the devil's favorite: fear of poverty and the fear of death.

Fear of poverty robs people of the freedom, making them settle for comfort and security rather than taking risks and following their passion. They worry about money constantly and cling to mediocrity. They become dependent on jobs and institutions, focusing on survival instead of creation. The devil poisons their mind with indecision and psuedo-lack. This leads to them living out the poverty they fear so much- both spiritually and financially.

The fear of death is just as insidious. It causes people to suppress their authentic self and blindly obey authority figures. When I was a child, I was so afraid of death. When I was 5, I got nail polish remover on my lips and I genuinely thought I was going to die. This paralyzing fear lead to me blindly following authority, ultimately leading to my rebellion of anti-authority. I realized that those who I thought would have my best interest were only protecting their interest and status. Because I gave my power away, this betrayal followed by several subsequent betrayals destroyed my life, ultimately leading to substance use. Ironically, the thing I was most afraid of as a child- death- I was now directly causing.

This is how fear implanted young and being stuck on autopilot causes exactly what you're afraid of. You bring it into reality.

Religions use the fear of death to control people, leaving them full of shame and guilt during their actual life and making them think that the real life (heaven)- starts when they die! These blindly religious people are literally waiting to die to start living and enjoying life. That's not what the Creator wanted for us. I'm grateful I had such a loving and communal church growing up.

The fear of death is the fear of the unknown. It infiltrates society so deep that the people do the dirty work for it. School teaches rigid obedience and memorization of a narrative or strict way of thinking instead of teaching children to ask questions about the most important thing on this planet- themselves. Religious institutions instill fear of punishment and fear of the devil, suppressing divine expression and freedom. 

Politics keeps people divided by creating "others," aka false enemies.

Doctors teach us that our health is out of our control- waiting until people are sick to prescribe them a medication that causes more problems. They forget to tell us that all diseases start within our own mind, and the Creator made us to be able to regulate ourselves to be healthy.

Status without self-mastery leads to corruption.

Love when uncontrolled clouds judgement.

Non-Drifters

To beat the devil and be a non-drifter, you must have a strong and defined purpose. This defined purpose will create a hypnotic rhythm in the positive direction leading to connection to God and Source. Non-drifters with a definite aim are not easily tempted by status or earthly, instant-gratification/ fear-suppression gimmicks.

Don't be easily coerced or distracted. Don't get swept up in trivial matters like the drifters do. Be definite in thought and action. 

10 Mandatory Principles of the Non-Drifters

1. Do your own thinking: The one thing we were given control over, our own thoughts, is laden with significance. 

 

2. Definiteness of Purpose: You must have a clear, specific goal. A non-drifter knows exactly what they want and has a plan to get it.

3. Learning from Adversity: Every failure contains the seed of an equivalent advantage. Non-drifters don't quit when things get tough; they pivot and learn.

4. Control of Environmental Influence: You are the average of the people and environments you spend time in. Non-drifters choose their Master Mind group carefully.

5. Time Management: Time is the only real capital we have. Non-drifters treat time as a sacred resource and don't let it slip away in drifting activities.

6. Harmony: You must act in harmony with your own values and with the laws of nature. Conflict between your goals and your actions creates the drifting state.

7. Caution (The Thinker's Habit): Think before you act. Non-drifters analyze the why and how rather than jumping at every shiny opportunity.

8. Decisiveness: Indecision is the primary symptom of a drifter. Non-drifters make decisions quickly and change them slowly (if at all).

9. The Use of Hypnotic Rhythm: This is the concept that habits become permanent over time. Non-drifters use this law of nature to automate positive habits so success becomes inevitable.

10. Absolute Faith: Not necessarily in a religious sense, but a firm belief in your ability to achieve your "Definite Purpose."
