"I am here to seduce you into your shadow, to teach you how to explore and understand the aspects of yourself that you hide within yourself. I exploit your weaknesses and devour their unholy fruits, keeping you bound in service to my selfish desires. I operate in the darkness of your own ego, and stand upon a podium of false beliefs built up over time through deception and deceit. I know your deepest and darkest secrets and torment your mind with the shame and guilt you feel after falling victim to my cunning ways.
I steal your creativity and passion and use it as my own. I feed on your fear and pain. I soar with the wings of higher knowledge I have distorted to serve my own purposes. I satisfy my own gluttonous cravings of lust and depravity using your confinement to the physical world. I whisper words into your mind and encourage you to speak harmful thoughts to create discord in your world. And all of this I do in disguise, in such a clever way that you are most likely unaware of my presence.
And yet I tremble at the possibility of your awakening, at your abilities to overcome my influence and starve me out of your experience, for, I know that I am no match for the divine light you carry within. I can only survive if I am able to keep you trapped in the material world and prevent you from outgrowing my domain. I am confined to this world of darkness, until eventually it evaporates under the light of the Sun, the collective awareness of each individual that escapes the grasp of my talons. In the end, I always lose, having provided the necessary friction to build momentum and take flight into the heavenly realms in which I cannot exist."
