The personal Armageddon may be defined as (1) the spiritual battle that the individual who is becoming the Christ must wage with the dragons of his own past creation (the slings and arrows of hatred, greed, resentment, fear and malice that he has sent forth into the world that have returned to roost in his electronic belt as records of infamy and injustice); and (2) the spiritual battle that the overcomer must wage with forces outside himself that work diligently to betray the Light of every son of God (demons of pride, [[fallen angel]]s, [[discarnate entities]], witches and [[black magician]]s). | The personal Armageddon may be defined as (1) the spiritual battle that the individual who is becoming the Christ must wage with the dragons of his own past creation (the slings and arrows of hatred, greed, resentment, fear and malice that he has sent forth into the world that have returned to roost in his [[electronic belt]] as records of infamy and injustice); and (2) the spiritual battle that the overcomer must wage with forces outside himself that work diligently to betray the Light of every son of God (demons of pride, [[fallen angel]]s, [[discarnate entities]], witches and [[black magician]]s). | ||
