When I saw The Invitation today and listened to all the personal questions that Evelyn had to answer her oppressor especiallyWalter De Vile and Oliver as they waltzed their way into her life, I realized a few things.

One of them stared at me in the face. In the past, I may not have understood why Robert Greene was against isolation, but I understood it better today. In fact, one of his seductive rules is to always isolate your victim. For Evelyn, the isolation had already been placed by fate. She lost both of her parents and although she loved making ceramics, she had a lot of adult things that took her away from living life fully.
She needed to drop most of the things she cared about and take up jobs in order to be able to provide for herself and pay all the bills that were already overdue as I saw on her walls and doorposts.
Finding her long-lost cousin through a DNA match test she submitted her specimen for, it was only right that she gravitated to them. Being lonely sometimes can make people accept whatever shining thing life throws their way. But in the case of Evelyn, she was drawn to these powerful families not because she was alone without a family in the world but because she had a destiny to fulfill.
When her great-grandmother, Emmaline died and created room for Evie to find the Alexander Family, she did not know she had her destiny to fulfill. Her great-grandmother was known as the lady of the house. But she committed suicide when she could no longer bear the pain of watching innocent people get sacrificed on the table of greed, power, immortality, and lasting wealth.
She tried to end the cycle by taking her life and the universe honored her death wish by making the Alexander Family desperate for a substitute and soon enough found Evelyn.
Listen, if I wanted to spin this post around a different angle it would be the part where I tell you to place a goalpost and stop once you get there. But that's not what will be happening today.
Instead, I want to share how important information or knowledge is when you not only acquire them but find ways to apply them. It doesn't matter what sort of knowledge you are gaining, finding a way to make great use of it will be the difference between being able to add value to someone's life and getting rewarded in monetary value or any other compensation you consider best for you.
For Evelyn, a lot of people in the Estate had passed along different words, and sentences, some meant to spite her, others to seduce her, and the rest to set her free from the shackles of the generational destruction that continued to plow the people who came in contact with these three powerful families.
So, when her personal maid set her free and told her what to do if she came in contact with any of her predators and when her Co-wife, Lucy, told her about the husband she was about to be wedded to, she combined all of that information and used them to set herself and the innocent maid free from the shackles of their enemies.
Although at that point, she lost everything including the family she came to know, it was better to fulfill destiny than to be roped into evil deeds and constant fear of what's going to happen next. And she won!.
Knowledge is important. You should gain power through it. But you should also remember that even though they say no knowledge is a waste, it will be wasteful if you do not have avenues to make use of them. So while you acquire knowledge, look for the loopholes you can fill with the things you spent years, learning and gaining as experiences or lessons.
