My Everyday Mystic by Jan Puta: blog for the soul

Never give the devil a ride – he will always want to drive!

When I heard that, I realized that whether you’re talking about the devil, negativity, or ego, they all can affect your thoughts and feelings, and take you for a ride before you know what’s happening.

It doesn’t matter how innocent or well meaning the temptation may seem, if you look it in the face and see it for what it really is, you’ll know when you’re playing with fire.

So here’s a quick checklist of where to look for red flags in your mind, body, and spirit experiences.

• One more with the gang. Learn to say “no” to that last round of drinks, and tossing back the shots because someone else is competing with you. Alcohol is dangerous business – it’s a toxic influence for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Alcohol is serious business – it attracts in dark energy beings who feed off of your intoxication, and who may manipulate you into harming yourself or others. Literally, alcohol abuse puts the devil in the driver’s seat!

• Hanging with the wrong crowd. Learn to leave before the trouble starts. Get out of the clique or gang before you have to prove yourself to them or anyone else by doing something that is wrong, unfair, or unkind. Anyone who asks you to lie, steal, cheat or do anything to hurt someone else is up to no good. Bonds built on fear and deception, cruelty and pain are not friendships. That’s servitude to negativity and slavery to everything that walks the halls of darkness.

• Save them from themselves. Sorry, that job is already taken. Everyone is responsible for getting his or her own life straightened out. When they need help, that’s what they have God, Divine Love, Eternal Light for. Be careful that in trying to help you don’t enable others and perpetuate their struggles and challenges. Reaching out, evangelizing, educating are all well-meaning services. Empaths are the first to reach out, the last to let go, and take on everyone else’s suffering energy without realizing what they are doing. Once again, everyone you hoped to help has suddenly gotten behind the wheel and you don’t have control anymore. Learn to let go of the outcome, to move people on to others better able to help them, and to consciously keep yourself protected with Love and Light.

Take care of yourself. Enjoy all things in moderation. Stop and ask yourself if what you are about to do is “of the light” or “in the darkness.” Then choose the light.
