The good wolf and the bad wolf that exist in our being, in the inner universe of each of us (IV)

The immense importance of wise, beneficial choices
These studies, this research by neuroscientists, show that what we think, what we feel, what we experience is never irrelevant to us. It is never the same aspect to experience a constant, overwhelming state of love or to feel a furious, fierce, endless state of hatred.
Considering these facts, it becomes possible to realize the value of the vivid little story about the good wolf and the bad wolf that exist in the universe of every ordinary human being.
In the case of the rare human beings who have attained a high state of wisdom, whose being has become Godly, it can be said that only the good wolf has remained forever in their inner universe, because the bad wolf has finally starved to death because he has not been fed.
That is why each of us can draw a valuable lesson from this cautionary tale and, when we allow ourselves to be taken over by evil feelings such as hatred, malice, envy, ill-will, desire for revenge, resentment, sadism, pessimism, etc., etc., we should also realize that, by choosing to indulge in such states, in such feelings, in such harmful experiences, we are also feeding and raising the evil wolf (or never starving it to death).
And if we feed one wolf at a time, the bad wolf and the good wolf, we make our inner universe a constant battlefield where the war between the two wolves will never end. When we look carefully around us, we discover that there are such poor human beings who feed almost equally, we might say, the bad wolf and the good wolf. And that is why such human beings stagnate and ask themselves in a foolish way why they have a destiny of suffering, adversity, torment and pain that never ends.
Especially the poor human beings who sink into states of spiritual blindness, who fall one by one at certain spiritual or major tests, then sink into the hellish abyss that opens up in their inner universe and then regress into obvious, terrible demonic states and then they go deeper and deeper into that hellish abyss until they pass a certain limit and collapse into dreadful satanic states.
In such terrible situations, you could say that the good wolf dies, but instead the bad wolf remains big and strong and triumphant (but that triumph is frightening). And when such a dreadful collapse occurs, it is always the result of the imbecile, un-God-inspired choices that the human being has made which have brought him into this terrible, satanic state.
In this way it becomes possible to realize how Satan appeared, how Lucifer appeared, how demons appeared, how devils appeared. In their case it is obvious to those who are intelligent, intuitive, and full of common sense that the immense evil within them has been embraced, has been accepted, and this evil is nothing other than the complete and unceasing absence of good.
Given these alternatives that we can choose, it is good to be vigilant moment by moment and, when we are tempted, when we are enticed, it is necessary to realize with great lucidity that if we choose evil, if we then indulge in it more and more often and even become accustomed to it, we are also making a tacit pact of collaboration, of feeding, of development and of growth only of the evil wolf that exists within us. In this way, we only starve, numb and diminish the strength of the good wolf within us, as long as he has not died, as in the case of human beings who slip into the satanic state.
Revelations about the insidious tools of demons
When we look very carefully, lucidly, detachedly, at some of our colleagues who once, in the beginning, set out on this path on which we are also on, it becomes possible to discover that some of them have fallen at certain major spiritual tests and trials and in some of them the seeds of demonic states have appeared and even grown and are already beginning to bear poisonous fruit.
That is precisely why such poor human beings in whom, when they came on this spiritual path, common sense, goodwill, kindness nevertheless existed, are now in a pitiful state and their daily behavior shows, on close analysis, an immense callousness, fierce egoism, spiritual infatuation, megalomania, exaggerated spiritual pride, spiritual blindness and other flaws which are obvious to us as well as to the human beings of good sense who have transformed themselves sufficiently by advancing on this spiritual path. These human beings are already blind, their hearts are hardened, they are cunning, they are perverse, they are, as they say, anointed with all the allurements, they are perfidious, they are hypocritical and, because of the demonic state into which they are sinking more and more each day, they are almost incapable of realizing the tragic existential condition in which they find themselves.
Even if it is brought to their attention, such human beings react with hatred, show resentment, and their behavior clearly shows enmity, malice, exacerbated criticism and almost obsessive persistence of critical, malicious, accusing judgments.
Such poor beings are eternally discontented and are never able to discover even 1% good in the spiritual path on which they have found themselves and then left it, returning shortly afterwards filled with a bitter and incessant hatred both against the spiritual guide and against all the teachings that have been made available to them.
And, because they become the instruments of the demons, they then seek by all means at their disposal to destroy, to do as much harm as they can in a perfidious way, to sow the chaff of their demonic, aberrant doubts into the souls of the naive fools who are receptive and willing to listen to them.
Such poor human beings play their obviously evil role as insidious catalysts for the tormenting states of demonic doubt, which they seek to skilfully sow into the beings and souls of the naive, with the perfidious pretence that they always mean well.
Here is what the great sage Lao Tse tells us about such poor demonic human beings, imbued with demonic doubts that have become certainties, skeptical, always dissatisfied, grumbling, cynical, insolent, cunning, dark, infatuated, cowardly, spiteful, insinuating, who exist here and there among you and who whisper in corners or in the ears of the naive who are willing to listen to them: “There is none so deaf as he who will not hear, and there is none so blind as he who will not see.”
Such poor human beings no longer use their ears to listen to anything good. They no longer use their eyes at all to discover or observe something beautiful. Such wanderers almost always judge all others by their own perversity and are incapable of seeing the slightest good or any spiritual transformation, even average, in human beings who are nevertheless advancing and transforming at their own pace on this spiritual path.
It is no accident that these misguided ones want to promote Buddhism instead of the yoga system, which they extol and praise to the point of nausea, although in reality they have not even studied it carefully.
Such misguided people are attracted like flies to Buddhism because, within this current, which is unanimously considered a heresy in India, God is never mentioned. This obvious and not at all accidental absence of God in Buddhism has led some followers of this path to declare, with ridiculous candor, that Buddhism is a religion without God. In saying this, they do nothing but confess the emptiness that exists in Buddhism. If they were to become aware that the word religion actually comes from the Latin word religo, which means “to unite”, “to bind”, they might also realize that Buddhism does not confess God, and then that binding, that union with God is not realized. And if that union with God is not realized, they should naturally ask themselves: “If it does not bind us, if it does not unite us with God, what does it really unite us with, what does it bind us to?”, because where God is rejected, there can be no true religion. This glaring contradiction cannot be noticed or realized by the followers of this path who already boast that Buddhism is a religion without God.
The human being who loves enormously and constantly will then be loved enormously and constantly at the right time
In addition to the benefits that numerous studies, even by neurologists, have shown, another surprising effect has also been observed. It has always been observed that the more kind, loving, forgiving, compassionate, merciful we are, the more generous, benevolent and cooperative the human beings around us will become shortly afterwards.
The explanation for this phenomenon, which has surprised and even intrigued some researchers, is that when a human being triggers beneficial occult resonance processes in his or her inner universe, they are strong, constant and even become a habit, that human being then emanates a telepathic influence within a radius of a few meters around him, which conveys such states, such profoundly beneficial, stenic, constructive feelings, and induces, because they become powerful vectors of beneficent force, a sui generis contaminating influence; but in this case it is not a harmful contamination, but a beneficial contamination, which impels other people to respond and manifest similar states.
Here again the results of these studies confirm what some wise men said thousands of years ago: “The rare human beings who love enormously and constantly will then be loved constantly and enormously by others”.
Linking these discoveries made by neuroscientists with the mysterious truth expressed by this aphorism, which is still current today, it becomes possible to understand that the powerful, beneficent occult resonance processes that occur when a human being loves constantly, deeply and powerfully, then trigger a subtle field of telepathic influence around him, which spontaneously impels human beings to respond with love, not necessarily to the same degree, but nevertheless, by the power of example, a similar reaction is catalyzed in the inner universe of that human being which will cause him, obviously, in close relation to his possibilities, to react in an affectionate manner and to express spontaneously a certain state of love.
In this way we discover that a famous saying is also confirmed: “You do well, you find well”.
It can be said that a human being who loves powerfully impels the human being in front of him to respond, almost without realizing it, to the subtle telepathic field of love energy with a similar state of love, which will appear in his inner universe through the power of the example he sets. The human being who loves intensely, constantly, is a living, naturally emulative example to the human being in front of him, who will tend to react in the same way.
The plenary beneficent, mysterious influences of harmonious, sensual, affectionate, refined women, in whom the state of Shakti flourishes
These studies have also directly confirmed another famous saying: “Beauty is always, without exception, first in the eye of the beholder”.
On this point, research has shown that when we perceive others as kind-hearted, benevolent, compassionate and sensitive to our needs, then the brain will generate a markedly transformed reaction in the human beings we see in this way. That is why their inner reaction will be magically transformed, and they will react to our presence with sympathy, goodwill, kindness, generosity.
It has been observed that, in direct proportion to that inner vision, as soon as we look at others in a transfiguring, creative, beneficial way, being able to discover in them qualities or endowments that are about to bud and then grow, we immediately afterwards provoke in their being a state of even greater generosity and sympathy.
And all this is now known to psychologists and is defined as a condition which very easily triggers a state of mutual altruism and good understanding between human beings.
At the same time, in this way we can convince ourselves of a mysterious reality which is within the reach of each one of us and which proves the existence of paranormal phenomena such as telepathy, charisma and paranormal empathy.
All of these allow us to understand and, moreover, help us to confirm these truths through the gram of practice. All of this also enables us to understand how the mysterious influence emanating from the being of harmonious, sensual, beautiful, affectionate women who are considered to be very sexy, is exerted in an overwhelming way.
In fact, this phenomenon is even extraordinarily strong in the case of sensual, harmonious, affectionate, refined, vital women who engage in love fusions that always involve the successful realization of erotic amorous continence. This is the mysterious phenomenon to which some of us refer when we say that “one hand washes the other”.
Therefore, even laboratory research, as well as some studies that have been carried out by psychologists, have come to show that when we treat others with kindness, with goodwill, with graciousness, with sympathy and with respect, even some human beings who have quite different beliefs will spontaneously tend to respond with more gentleness, with goodwill, with kindness.
It is obvious that this creates a sui generis upward spiral which spontaneously stimulates, in the brain, the area of the anterior cingulate which, according to the findings of neurologists, is a crucial part of a so-called ‘heart’ of our brain.
I also want to tell you that when I prepared this exposition of this little story, I was inspired to put together a sui generis parallel analysis that will allow those who are interested to identify the characteristics that arise when we feed abundantly and often either the good wolf or the bad wolf. In this way, we have identified 322 characteristics. These characteristics will be structured in a booklet that will soon see the light of day. In this way, we are reaching out to you to help you easily discover which of the two wolves you feed in your inner universe.
