Human beings in association with spirits

by CR (154)

Certain desires and aspirations are unattainable. There are individuals with unbridled ambition who are never satisfied with what they have. They are chronic complainers, always thinking they deserve more, living in a permanent state of dissatisfaction.

Now, it is perfectly rational and even commendable, that everyone seeks to improve living conditions and spare no effort to achieve that improvement. However, this cannot be achieved with gloom and doom, with discouragement and complaints that only serve to aggravate difficult situations and weaken spiritual energies.

Limitless ambition, associated with intimate rebellion, produces ill-humour, which the spirits of the Inferior Astral take advantage of, to spiritually actuate over these displeased individuals, instilling in their minds the darkest thoughts, capable of leading them to obsession, which in turn also lead them to other evils. 

The law of attraction never fails. Everyone is under its domain. The human being needs to understand the transience of things that belong to Earth. The enslavement to material valuables, so easily perishable, in addition to delaying spiritual evolution, has caused a great deal of suffering.

Moderate, measured ambition is natural. Unrestrained ambition however, is an obsession in which selfishness and self-worship play a decisive role. The overambitious and the unrestrained believe that the end justifies the means. They cheat, appropriate and monopolize. The obsessive idea of ​​quick gain dominates them, even through extortion or scorching maneuvers.

For them, there are no deferences, no compromises, no middle-ground. They are determined to move forward no matter what. They plot their bold strategy regardless of any precept of morality and honor. 

The world is filled with such characters who are, to a large extent, responsible for its economic instability. They comprise two very large groups. One is on Earth, human beings speculating and acting with enormous ease and cunning, and the other, equally active and clever, in the Inferior Astral, consisting of disincarnated spirits who, while incarnated, acted just like their present incarnated counterparts.

The two groups, human beings and disincarnated spirits, closely associated with each other, share and enjoy the same pleasure that feeds their common obsession.
