IN OBEISANCE OF the famous scriptural dictum:
“Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. (Eph 6:11)”
we don’t scurry to make a visit
to the nearest hardware store!
No, we’ve surmised that Paul
[mystically speaking, of course]
would have us go into our spiritual closet and shut the door tightly,
leaving all mental anguish and distress to return to its native nothingness
from whence it came.
The “devil” is that native nothingness
without a leg – or reality – to stand on.
