Even a man who's pure at heart-

and says his prayers at night...

can become a wolf when The Wolf Bane blooms,

and The Moon is full and bright.

There are ways of putting it that are less attractive than the sugar-coated options. Let's see; Unpleasant Truths? Harsh Realities? Hard, Cold Facts? A bitter pill to swallow?

What it amounts to are... things you don't want to hear, but nonetheless... are so. There are cosmic realities that people don't want to accept. The Mind likes to think it knows a way around them. At least, this is what The Mind tells you. It's the same mind that makes excuses for putting off the tasks you don't want to perform.

There are words people don't want to hear, and terms vary from country to country... from language to language... from tradition to tradition. Let's start with variances in traditions. In The Eastern Tradition, they have names for the three forms of action and being. They are called Gunas. They are Sattva... Raja... and Tamas. In The Western Tradition, they are called, Mercury... Sulfur... and Salt.
