>How long does it take outside forces to infiltrate, gain power and consolidate it?
Immediately wouldn't you say? Time frame, I supposed, would depend at which stage your in, but the final stage of 'Bondage' would mean that the outside force is now in control. Question is, which stage are we in right now?
Excerpt from article
"The first stage moves from bondage to spiritual faith. The second from spiritual faith to great courage. The third stage moves from great courage to liberty. The fourth stage moves from liberty to abundance. The fifth stage moves from abundance to selfishness. The sixth stage moves from selfishness to complacency. The seventh stage moves from complacency to apathy. The eighth stage moves from apathy to moral decay. The ninth stage moves from moral decay to dependence. And the tenth and last stage moves from dependence to bondage."
