Seven elements of the carnal self (to observe, do battle with, and overcome)

[Note to mainstream Christians: these are not little arrows for your quivers to fire off as moralizing accusations. These seven elements are in everybody living in the flesh. The moment you use such knowledge merely to accuse others you tighten the chains the devil has on you and you cement your status as an unconscious prisoner in the devil's kingdom.]

Seven Elements of the Carnal Self (to observe, do battle with, and overcome)

1. Fascinated (captured) by the illusion of the world, the flesh, and the devil
   
2. Cultivates and indulges resentment
   
3. Glorifies anger and depression
   
4. Unconscious Lying
   
5. Uncontrolled Tongue
   
6. Blind to self
   
7. Controlled by vanity, pride, self-will, and the fear (and reverence) of man
   

ANTITHESES OF THE ABOVE:

• Self-watchful regarding and contained from the illusion of the world, the flesh, and the devil
  
• Cultivates and manifests gratitude
  
• Manifests inner command
  
• Is awake to lying via awakened conscience
  
• Controls tongue (makes the tongue a pure fountain)
  
• Uses the world as a mirror; sees in himself what he dislikes in others
  
• Knows its own smell, is repentant, acts from God's will, and fears only God
