Devil’s playground, II.

Since it is known that some addictions can be removed by damaging a tiny portion of the brain, one wonders if political beliefs can similarly be affected. Do those addicted to attention, for instance, have a tiny group of demons forcing them into the most attention-getting politicial or career positions, regardless of long-term benefits?

Some are addicted to material possessions. Do they have a tiny area of short-circuiting demons that keep them focused on the things of creation? Is food addiction caused by the same process?

Such areas do exist in the brain. They could be destroyed by finely focused lasers or scalpels, but that would only destroy the demons’ messy “office”, not the demon, itself.

Trying to cure spiritual problems with physical means is not, in the long run, possible. The same demons will return, bringing others with them, and make new homes for themselves in the brain.

Still, a temporary relief from their activity may help a prayerful person to keep them away.
