Want to kick the dog or yell at the kids? It is my belief there is something inside you that IS NOT you. It wants to hurt and is inherently evil. It is called the foreign installation. A being that enters your mind and lives on your body. It eats your magical energy. It takes away from you many spiritual powers. It is the one enemy you must defeat in order to become a sorcerer. A warrior is one who battles for his freedom. A man of knowledge has awareness of the foreign installation and controls his internal dialogue. A sorcerer defeats the F.I. What do you believe?I know there's a lot on this site about the foreign installation. Ive always had a hard time with it, the concept. I do see it as making sense, like that perhaps society creates the foreign installation. I know at times Ive had thoughts Ive felt weren't my own. Cause I have this other part of mind which answers 'back' with reason, and rationality, the part of me which knows the difference between right and wrong. I think the foreign installation can be where we 'react' without thinking things through. It is something that I believe, if we shut off the internal dialogue and go silent, then we can conquer it. I think it tends to flee in the presence of a quiet mind....
