Research scientists have discovered that when we have been hurt or wronged, the desire to harm others activates the same pleasure centers of the brain activated by narcotics. This suggests that the desire to kill is a biological craving created inside the brain. If you are thinking about killing, you are not "evil." You are experiencing a brain-created desire to harm others and yourself. If your brain created it, then your brain can also make it go away.

  • REMEMBER that you are still the loving and lovable child you once were, precious and valuable beyond all measure. No matter what has happened to you or what you may have been planning, this inner being is your true self. It cannot be destroyed. Remember who you really are inside. Do not accept the false illusion that you are a murderer. Do not accept such a terrible lie.  Remember your true self.... 
  • FORGIVE those who hurt you.  Do this not because they deserve it...do it because YOU deserve it. Cain wanted to be loved and respected. By committing murder, he forever forfeited this and became despised. If Cain had forgiven God and Abel, he could have saved himself. Had he done this, he would have experienced all of the love and respect and joy that he so desperately wanted. This is also true for you. Forgiveness is the one miracle that all human beings can perform for themselves. Anytime. Anywhere. You can perform that miracle right now. Forgive others. Forgive the world. Save yourself.
