Possession And The Winds

Quid est quod ait: Qui conturbat domum suam, possidebit ventos? quomodo potest aliquis possidere ventos? Domum in hoc loco mentem appellat, id est qua unusquisque veluti in domo habitat per cogitationes, ventos, immundos spiritus vocat. Qui ergo domum, id est mentem, malis et noxiis cogitationibus perturbare non timet, iste nimirum possidebit ventos, quia per malas cogitationes viam facit daemonibus, ut ingrediantur et inhabitent in ipso. Honorius Augustodunensis, Quaestiones Et Ad Easdem Responsiones In Duos Salomonis Libros, Caput XI Source: Migne PL 172.319a-b

Why is it said: 'He who troubles his own house, shall possess the winds?' 1 How can someone possess the winds? In this passage he calls the mind the house, that is, that in which everyone dwells with his thoughts, as in a house. The winds are unclean spirits. Therefore he who does not fear to trouble his house, that is, his mind, with wicked and vile thoughts, he certainly possesses the winds, because by wicked thoughts he makes a way for demons, so that they enter in and dwell in him.
