33. Use the enemy's spies to sow discord in the enemy's camp

In the final chapter of The Art of War, Sun Tzu advocates the use of spies, and he openly advocates bribing the enemy's spies in order to win them over. Once won over, these spies will deceive their former comrades with false information and act against them in the enemy camp. Disputes and discord will arise as the divided spies advise their masters of the situation.

This tactic can be enormously successful, but it is stowed away in the last section of the stratagems because creating double agents and sowing believable rabbit trails in the mind of the opponent require time and a great deal of finesse.

Remember that people tend to believe what they fear and dread the most, and they will actualyl say what they fear the most, but you have to be observant to catch the message. A person's own mouth will act as the spy that reveals his heart and mind. In explaining the wisdom of Musashi and Sun Tzu to the woman I mentioned previously, I noticed that her antagonistic and emotionally abusive husband continually made public comments that he and she were too old to divorce, that she was too old to leave him. I consulted his words as his spies, and I told her they revealed that he was afraid of being old, that he was actually revealing that he feared that the consequences of his actions---coming this late in his life---marked a sad end that he could not remedy. From this we concluded that he was perpetually haunted by a fear of being impotent (in every sense of the word) and unable to control his own life. As events continued to unfold, she came to agree with me. She told me I was wise, but actually this foolish man had betrayed himself!

There's no end of tale bearing among groups of people. But even when you have no access to "spies" as such, remember to listen to what your opponent says. His or her words will reveal the thinking and the heart's deception behind them. And when you know your opponent's thoughts, then you can disrupt and discredit his thinking.
