Once there was a witch disguised as a beautiful woman.
A priest was walking by and he noticed the witch.
He was interested.
He saw this witch a few times before under the guise of a beautiful woman.
He always passed by her and admiration and thought she was cute.
The priest saw this woman had so pain much in her heart.
So the priest thought maybe he could try helping her so she can be happy again.
So the priest went over to the witch in a genuinely curious way.
The witch reacted in a rather interesting way.
She appeared to be happy to be approached but at the same time scheming something.
So the priest was confused. She appeared happy but there was something about her that seemed fishy.
The priest was not concerned because he believed he can overcome any evil. He believed in his own power.
So he wasn’t too concerned with any potential consequences.
Over a few weeks, they chatted and they enjoyed each other’s company.
Eventually, the priest was slowly becoming in love with the witch.
And the witch seems to be in love with the priest as well.
They had a few arguments concerning the dynamic of their relationships and spirituality.
Arguments would get very intense, they would often get emotional.
The priest was very in love with the witch so no matter what the witch did to him. He tried to push through the pain and hurt that came with the relationship.
But no matter how much the priest had tried it was never enough.
The priest had to be something else or do something else.
And the priest wanted to heal her and make her happy.
So he tried very hard to heal her heart because he could see the beauty in her, but there was a lot of darkness there as well.
Nothing the priest ever did was good enough.
He wasn’t rich enough.
He wasn’t confident enough.
He wasn’t loving enough.
He wasn’t forgiving enough.
He wasn’t man enough.
He wasn’t meeting all her needs.
The priest started facing demons of his own.
The priest kept wondering what is going on and where are all this pain and negative emotion coming from.
These are not my normal emotion.
The priest did countless battles with demons.
But eventually, the darkness swallowed him up.
The priest was filled with RAGE.
He was heartbroken.
Because by this point he realized, the witch was the one sending demons to him.
He thought the following:
“How could she, for all I tried to do for her”
“All I wanted to do was make her happy”
“I just wanted to give her something she has never gotten before”
And the priest became a mage neither evil nor good because the priest is a holy man, so evil is still beneath the priest.
But one thing was sure, he wanted to get revenge on the witch for all she did to him.
The now mage was conjuring all his power to destroy her life.
He tried all his strategies to destroy her.
The priest realized at some point this evil witch was a ghost.
I fell in love with a ghost.
I was mad at a ghost.
I was destroyed by a ghost.
My life was ruined by a ghost.
At this point the priest was too weak, he had lost his spiritual connection with GOD, because while he was trying to help the witch, and create a relationship with the witch, he forgot about his spiritual practice.
He got sick for a few years.
Lying on his bed with the pain of yesterday.
Many months have gone by nothing was improving his health was still in shambles.
He almost fully given up.
But nothing out of nowhere snapped.
I am not sure what it was.
It was a spark of something that made him reawaken.
Now the priest has formed his relationship with God again and is restarting his practice.
Heartbroken by the witch-ghost.
He knows he can’t be too mad at her.
She was just a ghost.
She never existed.
He felt so ashamed for falling in love with a ghost.
His good intentions were his trust, his love, completely destroyed by the witch-ghost.
With his newfound purpose of returning to his practice with GOD, the priest hopes to back to creating the life he wants.
As much pain as the ghost caused. And he does partially blame the evil ghost.
The priest takes the blame because it was he who allowed himself to be fooled.
He allowed himself to be betrayed.
He allowed himself to waste his time.
It was he who fell in love.
It was him trying to pursue the relationship with the ghost.
It took some time but the priest forgave the ghost.
What is the point of harboring hatred in your heart for a ghost; something that doesn’t even exist.
How could you love and hate something so much when it isn’t even real?
So the priest takes full blame for allowing himself to be lured into the trap.
Because he should have avoided temptations and focused on GOD.
The priest realizes it was he who got attached to the ghost.
It was he who put his power to the ghost.
So, now after healing his mind, heart, and spirit the priest plans to reconnect with GOD and focus on the mission.
Now, the priest is back up on his two feet with THE LORD above.
This time the priest knows not to fall into temptations.
The external world does not matter, it doesn’t exist.
The only thing that exists is GOD and your relationship with GOD.
Everything outside of yourself is an illusion.
And while the priest understood, he had to relearn this the hard way.
He became tempted, he got weak, and now he fully accepts the blame for allowing himself to have been fooled.
