Vice is that which sucks the soul of Man, kills the soul of man, enslaves the soul of man, devours the soul of man. The soul is an allegory of God. Vice is the devil who devours God, depriving man of God.
Vertigo success is dangerous because you lose your balance and fall into the abyss. Vertigo from success it is an expansion and inflation of consciousness, like a flood and loss of control over oneself. The river forgets its purpose of flowing into the ocean and, yielding to the temptation of the flood, turns into a swamp.
Neurosis is a predatory parasite that has enslaved the human soul. Neurosis is when a person loses the ability to control his life, and neurosis begins to control his life. In fact, we are talking about the loss of self-control and the transition to external control.
Narcissism is dangerous total loss of self-control. The greater the inner idol, the more the inner idolater grows in proportion to it. If at some point the idol cracks or the outer idol is near, then the inner idol worshipper will cling to it and run around begging for love. Why did the idol crack? He was lying, and it gave rise to guilt.
Attachment is when you saw joy and, having lost control of yourself, you want it as much as possible, like an addict you constantly stick to it, you are very afraid of losing this super-value, you are jealous, you are trying to master it.
The problem with superpowered desires is that they can't be fed at all. You give such a desire a finger, he will bite off his hand. It's like alcoholics who quit and can't drink at all. One sip of alcohol and a person can not stop himself. Therefore, the subconscious overcompensates, blocking super-strong desires to avoid loss of self-control.
Loss of self-control is associated with codependency. A person breaks his boundaries, makes expansion and tries to master something external. After that, all the vices, desires, sins, sufferings and pain of the external become his own. It is easy for a person to cope with himself, but when his power is dispersed, a person weakens and everything gets out of control. Do not try to dominate, and you will not be a slave.
Hope is the flame of hope. To pacify hope means to pacify the fire, and not to let the fire spill and die out. To pacify pride means to protect it from the wind and focus on good deeds that are governed by higher principles. It is necessary to remain the master of your fire. Too much fire will inevitably be stolen from the temple of your love. Your fire is your soul, you will become a slave to the one who steals your soul.
Passion kills. I passionately love to eat, I love salty and sweet, but I can't have salty and sweet, I can't eat a lot. It's killing me and I'm slowly dying in hellish pain. Do you think that's stopping my passion? No, she says it's not my problem. I am a passion, I am an immortal spirit who has enslaved your body. I love joy, and as for your body, I don't care that it suffers and will soon die. My passion is very selfish and does not respect my body at all, more Moreover, she turned me, her master, into her slave and does not respect me at all.
I looked at my passion for a long time and realized that this is something similar to a useful parasite that I feed, and he gives me some kind of drug for this, filling me with energy, clearing my brain, allowing me to see the future. It's something similar to spice from the movie "Dune". And this parasite is trying to enslave my consciousness, he says: "You are me." Useful, but cunning-assed creature.
The mission of idols is to burn easy money, letting them serve beauty and perfection, thereby saving the owners of this money from the slavery of vices. Easy money will serve either perfect idols or perfect vices.
Subdued pride is when idols control their fire, and if pride is not subdued, then it devours the forests of idols like fire. The loss of humility and control over pride leads to the burning out of the idol, that is, it burns out.
I see two types of people. Inside one person there is a demon child who is always offended at everyone, whining. This demon demands compensation, vice, and inside the second lives a demon child who is obsessed with guilt and duty. This demon is eager to serve, fulfill desires and wants rewards. Both demons crave power and superiority. Sometimes it seems to me that it's the same demon in different masks.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, because the spirit is the will, and too much will leads to the fact that a person loses control of his will and it begins to serve vices.
A person will be able to free himself from the bondage of passion when he realizes that he is even worse than the devil. Any animals are taller than humans. Realizing the poverty of his spirit, a person will cease to be a cash cow for the passions of vices, because vice feeds on the human spirit, and until you empty it, it will not rest.
They say vices are freedom. They tell the truth. Vices devour the human spirit, emptying the soul and pacifying pride. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they are free. Pride no longer devours anything in them and no longer turns them into slaves.
Vice uses man as a farm for the cultivation of his spirit. On the one hand, vice pacifies pride and empties the soul, on the other hand, the new is growing intensively. Most slaves of vice are super proud. Perhaps the point is overkill. Perhaps the point is to punish with suffering and fear. The greater the pride, the greater the suffering and fears.
The weaker the willpower, the easier it is to control. Strong willpower is almost impossible to control. It's like a fire, then flares up, then burns out. Strong willpower is constantly in bondage to some vices, addictions, idols, hobbies, etc. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they are free.
