and "evil" entities multiply the power of the destructive desires, but
why?
    Why deos the manavantara phase involve such horrific designs, why,
if we are one (and I believe we are) do we war against eachother,
elementals included.  Where did malice begin?  How can it be expained?

    Honestly, if your bad thought scenario holds water, then it's no
wonder my own life has been fraught with negativity, and why so many
people who are damaged psychologically at a young age end up in such
damnable positions in society.  A child abused will think horrible
thoughts, if that attracts dark elementals and they feed on and to the
childs thought process-a child- who is clueless about the way of things
could grow up to be a tyrant.  Is no force watching out for the
mislead?  The Masters might care, but what are they doing to curb the
anger of humanity at the injustices percieved?
