The single most convincing temptation to drag you into corrupting your soul that'll be used against you is appealing to your sense of misplaced patriotism. "Do this questionable thing and you'll be serving your country. You'll be a hero to our nation. Cheat in this or that sport because it's a matter of national security and pride. The political climate needs this win right now, at all costs. This is bigger than your personal morality and code of honor. Report on this or that person for the greater good, etc." And doing evil has never been so easy. It takes real intelligence and a sense of inner dignity and spiritual strength to reject this kind of offer, even after you've sold out to it (this is usually the case). This kind of offer often comes to the gifted. When one is approaching the end of their spiritual testing grounds and the last few steps of their ascension. Only a few legendary figures in politics and sports and business have ever felt the inner need to reject the trick. Most people just cave to the trap. The devil doesn't come knocking to take things away from you, he comes offering gifts and privileges for what seems like a simple trade - until it is not. He comes with a crown, a gold medal, a red carpet, a nice suit and a bucket-load of cash. Once you're far enough into the illusion, you begin convincing yourself that your real beliefs coincide with the interests of whatever country or system or organization you represent. Because you're handsomely rewarded. With public and financial status. And simply because it's convenient. On this level of spiritual advancement, only the little things matter. The details other miss and disregard. In truth, you are chipping away at your soul and your sanity and, deep down, you know that you are betraying yourself and the gentle good that divinity has planted within you. That seed will never spring in corrupted soil. No matter how much you appeal to your personal version of God. When the time comes - you will fall short, if you do not stay true to your convictions up to the bitter end, regardless of the hardships they add to your time here in this world. When the time comes to meet your conscience, you will not be able to leave the world behind. And those who cannot leave the world behind will be left behind themselves.
