They filled her head with snakes and likened her to the gorgon Medusa from Greek mythology. They boldly attacked her by invading her mind and setting up sentries to monitor her thoughts.
They felt certain they could drive her mind to rave and roil in waves of a poisoned broth. Bystanders turned their backs on her in a deafening silence. When she walked by they would cast their eyes down, not wanting to admit their compliance with her enemy’s deceit.
She struggled with sleepless nights, and tears of shame and doubt and self-loathing. When she succumbed to sleep the dark matter ghosts rode her brain waves searching for the beast within her, and searching for her deepest fears. All her inhibitions fell away until she was left naked and abandoned in a desert heat.
Slowly self-survival awoke within her. She began to see the mind games for what they were. She began to understand that there was an unstoppable spirit within her, and she began to listen intently to its unspoken words. Her confidence in her inner voice strengthened as she began to cast out her doubts and fears, and these invading demons. Her self-worth began to grow as she felt her personal power grow.
She realized that she alone, by sheer will, could pull her mind to higher ground away from the chaos caused by all the disparaging remarks and callous actions of those around her. She set herself free from all the negative chain reactions.
Her spirit was renewed within herself as she grabbed hold of these invading snakes and cast them out. They all began to fall away and wither. Peace and Purity are now her guardians.
