The devil depicted as winged half man half goat, complete with pentagram, faces two naked figures chained to the block on which he is atop. The chains on the figures appear loose, with little effort these can be removed, the horns a sign of the figures becoming more like the devil, or on the devil’s side.
We are made of light and shadow, shadow consumes light and convinces us darkness is all we know. Addictions, unhelpful behaviours, thought patterns and relationships impede us from becoming the best versions of ourselves. These behaviours lurk in the shadows and make us feel we have no control or power over them. We must shine a light to them first, acknowledge their presence, call them by name.
From this, actions to shake them loose must arise, it will take work, effort and showing up on our part. Often these have become deep-rooted habits and can be the hardest to break but are breakable, take it one day at a time.
When my mind sways negatively, I remind myself of love, gratitude and spirit.
I am the observer of my thoughts, I do not let them bring me down.
I remind myself to have gratitude and acceptance for what is and to have the courage of my convictions.
I pursue a clearer understanding of spiritual truths behind all that is and all that is unfolding.
I ask myself is all I am thinking the truth and is it having a positive or negative impact on my life.
