Once we have the generally accepted definition, (see previous page), we can see that the three powerful enemies "map" to two things. One is "teachers", another is "sovereign" and the third is sages.

This behavior manifests in the "esoteric cycle" and in the development of religions in general. The interplay of these negative forces bends, destroys or perverts the noble aspirations of people everywhere.
