Pick your Company Wisely
(By Seti I Shadim)

Let’s face it in this world of ours isolationism is not a practical philosophy to live by. To gain power you must align yourself with others to expand. Consciously or unconsciously those around us have an effect on our lives. Buddha once said a beast may wound your body but a bad friend will wound your mind. The importance of keeping the right people in your life cannot be stressed enough. To do this you must first have a ruthless eye to those around you including your own family.

People like this must be gone from your life ASAP because in the end they will only bring you down. This of course must be on a case-by-case basis but the main point is to limit the time spent with people like this. Instead you must find people like yourself and who you want to be. But be mindful behind your true relationship with ANY person! This is especially important to those with limited spiritual practice, as they are less mindful. In time you will see improvement in your own life from success to happiness. Be warned do not make excuses for anyone, your strength demands it! _ " I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff. " -Aleister Crowley

No human thing is of serious importance. -Plato
