Unwitting Keys

Loneliness, self-pity, and despair are the gateway to the demon that lies within or just beyond each of us. Either knowingly or unwittingly we bring the creature through - becoming a temporal key, borne from this triad of spiritual disconnection.

Even in their ascension from worldly affairs wise men, learned men, scholars, poets, spiritual men, and men of god can each lend comfort and assistance to the forces of corruption.

Aspirations of transcendence from possibility eventually become our weakness. Our vanity our ignorance and our conceit grant entry to conditions where doorways become open if only in a crack for an instant. We must ever remain mindful that those dark things that dwell do not do so in quiet repose but rather are a springboard of tension ready in an instant to leap forth. Our inherent human weakness embraced by our arrogance becomes their opportunity. Therefore it is not small wonder that so much rhetoric has been passed along over the centuries regarding the sin of pride.
