The Importance of Keeping Our Minds Clean

Viruses live in the pits of our minds.  Nests of the Seven Tribes of Viruses, Pride, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Anger, Lust, and Sloth send out individual viruses to corrupt our own, human programs whenever we give them an opening.

We provide entry for them when we let ourselves begin thinking sinful thoughts. Those thoughts are doorways through which the seven tribes of viruses, balled up like hibernating rattlesnakes, send sin to crawl through to our minds at every opportunity.  They take advantage of every chance to crawl into the vast wildernesses of our minds.

Just as settlers migrated toward the best land, the viruses do the same.  Rather than taking trails through the woods, they flash along neural connections with blinding speed.   The viruses’ universal goal is to take over operational control of our decision-making process.  The viruses goal is to have us make such bad choices and decisions that we ruin our own lives and the lives of those around us.

Every time we let ourselves see, for instance, something licentious, we let another evil being worm its way into our minds from the “Lust” nest of viruses.  When that part of our mind is overwhelmed by them, other viruses get enough power to push, unbidden, into other areas of the mind.  Our dealings with others are twisted by swarms of such viruses, and we begin to seek out those with similar viral afflictions.

If we’ve gotten too many of the Vanity Viruses crawling through our minds, we tend to think we’re better than the other human programs.  It’s impossible to work effectively with others when we sincerely believe them to be inferior in every important way.

As time goes on, those controlled by Vanity Viruses grow angry because others are not as quick as they should be to recognize how much better they are than the rest of us.  That opens the door for the Rage Viruses.  Their infection causes the vain to become liberals, environmentalists, communists, and to join other religions based on vanity and its automatic hatred of others.

The other sins are quick to swarm such a soul, working to take it into chaos, pain, and death.
