Saint says that negative self-image is whispered by devil

[Monkey-man]

There is no greater disease in the world than a thought ‘there is something wrong with me’. It is the devil inspires a sensitive person with the help of thoughts that something is wrong with him. - Saint Paisios

@Monkey-man your own egoic mind is that devil.  Make sure to make that connection and not think the devil is some external or objective entity out there somewhere.

[Hellspeed]

Yes, is called ego. Those chronic muscle strains in the head, bound directly with the legs. Atrocious.
