Thoughts/words are spell(ing)s that separate/fraction us from our core self. It infests us with the Legion demon, or as was said in the Last Samurai so well, to many minds.
We are easily mesmerized, especially if words are used. We are trained to hook our attention onto words, and they are then used by the spell (perception) masters to lull us awake asleep.
Great write up. So glad you are here.
