Christ gave the demons a fresh terror,
renewing powerfully the horror of which his
first incarnation had given them.
"The nearer we approach our goal, the more
will Hell strive to prevent our reaching it."
The 12 Steps to Holiness and Salvation, Chapter
2, Page 28, A Happy Death, Paragraph 1,
(Christianity, Catholic, Author: St. Alphonsus
Liguori)
Within moments, the dark and dank
dwelling was completely exorcised and the
living Buddha in gold, Avalokiteswara in
purple, and Zarathustra in emerald green,
stood all around me; joyous and triumphant.
Hugging Avalokiteswara tightly, I cannot
even begin to explain the consolation I felt in
her arms, for she was filled with the essence
of love, and her spirit of kindness was very
motherly and soothing. Refusing to let her
go, I grasped Zarathustra's outreached hand
with my other hand while still embracing
the Bodhisattva of Compassion
(Avalokiteswara). Within Zarathustra's
hands, I felt the light of truth and the power
it held. The Buddha did not reach to me, as
he only gazed in a very moderate manner
towards my eyes, filling me with the balance
of wisdom he encompassed.
