The Milo Letters

Dear Milo, She has been reading the Word of the Enemy in his scriptures recently. This is a major danger to our mission. She is becoming struck with the realness of her faith, and the fact that people through history have read these words for thousands of years. We need to stunt this growth! Put ideas in her mind about how boring it is, make her start to feel like it's a chore rather than something she loves to do. Also, discourage her when she gets confused by words in the text or by details of the cultural times. The main point above all else is that she cannot love to read His word, because as you know it is transforming and more powerful than we'd like it to be.

Dear Milo, Emotions are one of our most powerful tools in the human species. In her culture, we’ve created a focus on feelings, and we’ve begun to make them believe that whatever they feel is absolute truth. I want you to weave this into her understanding of how she should act and make decisions. Surround her with people who always ask her things like “how does it make you feel? What do your feelings tell you? You should do what feels best.” Do your utmost to make sure that she rarely notices how fleeting and fickle feelings are, and how the Word of the Enemy has much more solid ground. While the Enemy does work in her emotions, we must make her feel that if she ignores a feeling, it will build up to the point of explosion. So she should let them rule her life in order to prevent emotional build-up.
