Chain letter

He gave the little wealth he had To build a house for fools and mad; And show’d, by one satiric touch, No nation wanted it so much.

JONATHAN SWIFT

1667–1745

CHAIN LETTERS should always be destroyed. Someone is trying to control you, so the act should be immediate and final. Do not even consider reading them. The perpetrators hope to activate the guilt syndrome, and they can be extremely successful. I have seen the end results, and they can be tragic.

DO NOT READ – DESTROY.

Visualisation: You receive a letter and, on opening it, realise that you are holding a chain letter in your hands. You begin to read it; gradually a feeling of guilt pervades your whole body. You ask yourself whether you have the right to destroy the chain as so many people have obviously taken part in its journey. There is another feeling within you, which is trying to surface – common sense. Will guilt prevail? No! Not wishing to be controlled by others, you see yourself tearing it into small pieces and throwing it away. Now you know you are free to choose your own path.

Affirmation: I will strengthen my resolve not to be controlled.
