My dear nephew Downside,

    One insecurity that you should try to focus on, as you already have been, is what I like to call 'what ifs'. I'm sure you remember it from your studies but, knowing you, I'm also sure that there have been important aspects forgotten. This is a game of dreams and wishes in a never ending cycle of impossibilities. As you try to get your human to live in forgotten yesterdays and hopeless possibilities for the future remember that it is all for their downfall. This kind of dreamlike state is what we want all of these creatures to continually live in. Even though some argue that it is differently, it does not depend on the type of human you are dealing with. Any ability to be unhappy with their lives is an ability for us to become closer to them. Get her to let her mind wander into regrets of the past and wishes for the present. She will believe that it is simply a small thing but she will be slowly wandering towards us,

Affectionately yours

My dear nephew Downside,

    When I heard of your recent attack I was almost amazed that you were the one to think of it. Bravo my dear pupil; I didn't know you had it in you. The thought that you are using her insecurities against her is exactly what I've been trying to teach you. Feed off of them; that's what they are for anyway. She will feel as if it is her own self fighting against her. Oh how brilliant! The thought of herself fighting against her own self is delicious to the taste. She will eventually feel as if it is too hard to go on, causing her to give up or give in. Keep on working on that and we will have her,

Affectionately yours

My dear nephew Downside,

   You have overlooked a very important detail nephew. You let your human have time to herself and partake of the Pleasure around her. This is very wrong indeed. We do not want her to be looking at the Lovely flowers or having time to Ponder. Instead she should be worrying about some unimportant task or looking at the boring gravel under her feet. Do you see what taking time to herself can cause? Pleasure. She will be reading, thinking, and walking among Pleasant things. Such things, like Sunshine and Happiness, have no use to us. They will bring her closer to Him. Focus on making her feel too busy, which she really isn't, or making her too stressed about those supposedly important things,

Affectionately yours

My dear nephew Downside,

    Now that you have undergone your punishment, I hope you have learned a thing or two about what we do. As you can tell, your creature has been having a Wonderfully Uplifting time without your constant nagging. This can be fixed, however, with a game of priorities. Make your creature focus on the unnecessary things of the world. This would include stressing about a class project or about an outfit or about some boy who she thinks she likes. It may seem silly to you to think that such minuscule things could become important but they, for some reason, believe it. If you can make her feel that these unimportant things are actually the important things we can convince her priorities to mirror this as well.  If you can get her to believe this then she will be focusing on those things rather than the important ones. See how that leads her to us? Make sure that she doesn't take the time to reevaluate her priorities but instead just goes along with our selfish little plan of only having her think of herself and the unnecessary,

Affectionately yours

My dear nephew Downside,

     Reports have it that you have let your creature slip through your grasp. Know that you will be penalized for this, no matter what the counter argument. We want them to cower from the thought of fear, making them scared to even move a finger. This fear is what drives them closer to us and farther from Him. How could you forget that?! Just to think, He is now providing her with such ridiculous things as Love, Belonging, and Courage. How distasteful! Yes you are to be punished indeed,

Affectionately yours

My dear nephew Downside,

   As mentioned in my earlier letter, laziness is the pathway towards us. It sounds like you are succeeding but let me remind you that this aspect isn't completed with just the physical concepts. Instead you need to be worrying about the emotional laziness as well. Making her believe that she is content would be the best way to proceed. Becoming too comfortable with her current surroundings will make her think that she needs to relax, therefore becoming content and lazy. She will feel like there is no need to exceed and will stop looking for ways to do so. That's the key. Stop her from moving, doing, and being inclined to do so and then she will be blindly leading herself down to our level,

Affectionately yours

My dear nephew Downside,

    You briefly mentioned that the creature can get lazy sometimes. There's nothing brief about it, you should use it for our advantage. For some reason they think that work is bad and being lazy is a sort of vacation or break, and thanks to us that ideal is throughout their society. Help her to continue in this. If she doesn't go out there that means she's not doing anything. No action is the best way towards us. He doesn't want a slothful servant so that's exactly what we are trying to create,

Affectionately yours
