The second concerns inner demons. Themes include: cultivating stillness to pass through the threshold into the unitive condition; meeting inner demons as we come close to that threshold; Jesus and the Buddha being tempted three times when at the cusp of fulfilling their respective missions; trauma and the contraction away from love; demons and their addictions/preferences; free will -- saying yes, and saying no, to love; feeding the beast and believing its lies; Jesus and the demonic; the cave of demons and walking through hell on the spiritual path
