It has been said that the devil is in the detail, so One needs to dive deeply to understand "his" actions and how we can avoid supporting "him" with our own devilish actions.
Short and simple has it's place, but in the matter of consciousness (and more) it is necessary to be still and silent to get to the depths where "The Lord" is hidden too so we are more able to follow the footsteps of Jesus.
May peace be with you.
