Evil

There are evil spirits, too, you remember. Demons, looking for bodies. For someone to invite them in. You’ve seen the Exorcist. Never invite them in.

Can there be good possessions? Can an angel possess you?

I don’t think so.

I’d like to be possessed by an angel. And do only good things. I’d like to be the instrument of something very good.

I never used to use the word, evil. It wasn’t necessary. I never used the world evil. I thought it was part of a stupid superstition, the word, evil. It wasn’t real to me.

And now?

Now I know that evil’s everywhere. Outside our magic circle. And it’s vast. And terrible. And encroaching …

 

Are they going to win, the evil ones?

They know only God wins. Which only makes them madder.

In reality, God has already won.

Already?

Long ago. The outcome of the battle has long been decided.

And what will we do until then?

 

They’re doing things just for the sake of destruction. Just to wreck things.

Evil destroys its vessel. It destroys the person who does it. It destroys the institution. The world, even. Our whole evil world … It's about destruction for its own sake: that’s how you know it’s supernatural.

 

Staggering with evil. Bowed over by evil. Collapsed by evil. Utter corruption everywhere. Nothing’s redeemable. All the institutions. They need to be built up again from the ground up.

 

Nothing’s being born. Only aborted. Only destroyed. Anti-humanity is in charge. Just total assault.

 

They’ve wiped out the sun They’ve turned off the sun. They don’t want the sun to shine on our faces. Of course not.

 

There’s a lot to be afraid of. There’s everything to be afraid of.

 

Were we born for such a time as this?

Us? Fuck that.

Were we born from the end to witness the end?

 

They’ve turned the world over to the demons. They’ve let them have the world.

Why? Until when?

 

We didn’t think we had to reckon with evil. We didn’t think we needed that word anymore, evil. We hardly know how to say it. How to pronounce it. It had been pretty much expunged from our books on ethics.

Evil’s so Old Testament. Like religion. Like God. We’d put all those books away.

 

How are the Satanic evil levels today? Higher or lower?

 

I wouldn’t mind nihilism quite as much if it wasn’t for the Satanic evil.

 

We didn’t really study any satanic evil, did you? Thought that was just Old Testament, or whatever.

Cicero believed  in it.

Cicero saw what was coming. It was her eastern Europeanness. That’s why she brought us here. She knew we’d feel it.

 

I feel sick with evil. I want to throw up with evil. The evil’s so saturating. So heavy. Can’t you feel it?
