Meet the Lord of Strife.
Mr. Mellifluous and the Lord of Strife
As you and Mr. Mellifluous wander through the realm of Wands, you encounter five boys fighting each other, seemingly without any sense of “sides” or teams. In this battle, it is each man for himself. They are all in intense competition with each other. Not one of them, at this point at any rate, has shed any blood, and they continue to experience the fiery spirit of the lion as they swing their wands at each other.
As you think of the lion, once again the woman in white appears before you, caressing the lion’s head. “Everyone experiences strife because everyone experiences competition for resources and recognition. Each person must learn to deal effectively with conflict. Mars is the God who presents plenty of opportunities for learning. Above the sphere of Mars on the Tree of Life is the sphere of Saturn, the supernal sphere of restriction. Each soul must learn this harsh discipline, for it is the basis of manifestation.
“On the Pillar of Severity, Saturn is the God of the primal restriction in form. Below Saturn, Mars is the God of severity and discipline in the sphere of ethics. Below Mars, Mercury is the God of restriction in the sphere of intellect.
“Each of us must learn to deal decisively with evil in every sphere. Ignoring problems only leads to worse problems. Some of the worst calamities stem from the inability to address evil adequately, from not responding in just proportion to a conflict.
“I am a Goddess of Balance. I control the fiery spirit of the lion in myself, so I can effectively confront the lions that I encounter in the world. One of the greatest gifts that you can give others in your sphere of influence is harmonizing your instincts and bringing yourself into balance. With the self in balance, you can see more clearly how to deal effectively with external problems.”
