owtwitting the devil by Napoleon Hill from the the chapter drift

Q Go ahead and tell me more of the methods by which you cause people to drift to hell with you!

A I cause people to drift on every subject through which I can control independent thought and action.

Take the subject of health, for example. I cause most people to eat too much food and the wrong sort offood. This leads to indigestion and destroys the power of accurate thought. If the public schools and the churches taught children more about proper eating, they would do my cause irreparable damage.

Marriage: I cause men and women to drift into marriage without plan or purpose designed to convert the relationship into harmony. Here is one of my most effective methods of converting people into the habit of drifting. I cause married people to bicker and nag one another over money matters. I cause them to quarrel over the bringing up of their children. I engage them in unpleasant controversies over their intimate relationships and in disagreements over friends and social activities. .

Through this fear I lead them slowly but surely onward until they reach the point beyond which no individual ever has broken the drifting habit

Dominating Thoughts: I cause people to drift into the habit of thinking negative thoughts. This leads to negative acts and involves people in controversies and fills their minds with fears, thus paving the way for me to enter and control their minds. When I move in, I do so by appealing to people through negative thoughts which they believe to be their own. I plant the seeds of negative thought in the minds of people through the pulpit, the newspapers, the moving pictures, the radio, and all other popular methods of appeal to the mind.
