The Unified Malice of Demons
Though demons may be divided among themselves, they maintain a singular, destructive focus against the human soul.
Evil demons recruit even worse demons to help them; and though their natures set them against each other, they agree on only one thing: the destruction of the soul.
Read the original Latin
Οἱ πονηροὶ δαίμονες τοὺς πονηροτέρους αὐτῶν δαίμονας εἰς βοήθειαν ἐπισπῶνται· καὶ κατὰ τὰς διαθέσεις ἀλλήλοις ἐναντιούμενοι, συμφωνοῦσιν ἐπ’ ἀπωλείᾳ μόνον ψυχῆς.

- A built-in timed stillness practice that grows from 2 minutes to 10
- Gentle progression through the tradition — the app remembers where you are on the ascent
