I don't know about those other things. I only know it as subverting understanding and potential. Observing wasted life is the easiest means of observing it that I know of. It's very slippery, but can't cover the big trends unless a person has completely identified with its lies. Even observing time spent in a single day should scare people, and then they may hear it whisper its justifications.
I can't say which path is optimal for you. I see a real evil working on my people and marching its army of the darkened mind to my home. I suspect its intent is to darken all of this existence, and the souls trapped within, once more.
It is a great learning opportunity to fight this thing. What is a soul? How does it interface with the body? What is this demon? How does it interface with the body? How can I influence these things? Can I increase the strength of my soul? Can I decrease the influence of the demon? Can I more fully integrate my body with my soul to completely mitigate the demon? Where is God in this?
