Love - The devils most effective bait

[Meditationdude]

“Give me control over a persons fears and tell me what he loves most and you may as well mark that person down as my slave.” The Devil
 

- Napoleon Hill (Interview with the Devil) 

 

Love and fear are emotional forces by which the “Devil” uses to distract us from definite of purpose and independent thought. 
 

Love is something talked about here a lot and I was curious what some of you think about this? We talk about obtaining high levels of love and acceptance but what if that’s exactly what the Devil wants to make us lose the power of will and reason? (Playing devils advocate ?)

Unless what you love most is truth, in which case the devil is royally fucked

Yeah, that's why the most effective marketing techniques is to analyze the audiences desires deeply (both negative and positive) and then present your product as a solution to those

The mind/ego projects the problem outside of itself as a distraction to keep itself intact. It's literally a subconscious survival tactic of the mind.

As long as the focus is outwardly it can keep running the rat race.
