Computer Viruses, Soul Viruses
Computer virus’s are a manifestation of another virus, a virus which resides in the souls of the people who create them. The people’s souls are infected with the virus evil. The evil infection in people’s spirits is a global epidemic. It infects people to differing degrees, and even resides to a small extent in people who are primarily good. The cliché there’s good and bad in everyone, is a cliché because it has truth in it. The virus evil is an illness. It can be considered as a mental illness, described by psychologists as personality disorder. Or it can be viewed as a spiritual illness.
The evil virus spreads like a biological virus. We can catch it from people who are more badly infected. When we spend time with someone who is bad, their habits may influence us. For example, if we know someone who is in the habit of petty theft from their work place, we may use that to justify us stealing things ourselves. If someone else is doing it, we subconsciously (and wrongly) use that to justify our own action. We can catch it from aggressive people. We may get dragged into a fight, and when nastiness is thrown at us, it may inflame our anger, and enrage us until we also become aggressive. When we hit back, either physically or verbally, it is then that the virus has infected us as well.
So why do people create computer virus’s? They are an act of malicious evil, and the people who create them are ill. These people are either mentally ill, or spiritually ill, depending on your point of view. But they can be cured.
It is well known in psychotherapy that curing mental illnesses which damage other people is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Perpetrators very rarely admit to their illness. So how do ill people who’s souls are infected with evil become cured? The answer is actually very simple. Evil people can be cured by wanting to be cured. As soon as the ill person wants to be well, they stand a chance of being cured. One can cure oneself of badness/personality disorder simply by wanting to be a nice person. We have to want to change goes another true cliché. And this applies to every individual on earth, not just to those people who are badly infected. Each of us must continually check our own systems to ensure we are not becoming infected with evil. Exactly as with computer viruses, keeping the virus at bay is a continual process. Our bodies have biological defences from conventional viruses which can beat the invader. Our souls Our spirits also have the capacity to kill off infections, but only when we decide to change.
But this is not the whole story. Viruses are a manifestation of evil. But viruses can be a manifestation of good.
