To   break   the   idol   and   get   rid   of   the   slavery   of   vice,   you   need   a   total   conviction   that   I   do   not   need   it,   it   is   dangerous,   there   is   no   good   in   it   and   most   importantly,   that   it   is   a   lie.   You're   an   idealist,   and   idealists   hate   lies.

You   need   to   treat   yourself   with   compassion.   If   you   feel   the   temptation   of   vice,   immediately   begin   to   feel   sorry   for   yourself   and   treat   vice   as   punishment,   deception   or   theft.

Good is something that is 100% good.  Not good is something that is 100% not good.  To mitigate the situation, say:  "Everyone has his own good and not good."  For me, the good is freedom from the slavery of vices.  Such vices as nicotine, alcohol, sugar, drugs, informational drugs are all deceit, poison and theft of my energy.

The Unseelie has no good at all from the word at all.  As soon as you start smoking, your normal sense of joy in life drops.  And joy begins to feel a return to normal. 

Overkill is poison.  Artificial things like sugar and alcohol, which can work as consolation or reward, are overkill by default.  More  but it is also a punishment for pride, because the desire for comfort and reward is greed and greed, that is, the mortal sin of pride. 

A deep sense of peace that I'm doing the right thing.  Peace is the conviction that you are doing everything right.

The rapid growth of joy is an outpouring of joy, it is a loan at a huge interest rate, it is a deception.  Basically, you lose.

Accumulate joy and let it grow slowly, do not let it spill over into vices.  Do not let vices devour your joy.  Cherish your joy.  Joy is God.

Missing out on something good.  Vices inspire greed and a sense of scarcity.  Vices say "we are good" and, of course, lie.  I want everything at once.

They say vices are hard to beat.  They say vices are invincible.  So say people inexperienced and ignorant.  Knowledgeable people know that vices are very greedy.  True love will pay anything for its desire, and pride, from which vices grow, will be strangled  from greed, if the price of VICE is great.  Therefore, if the fines or the cost of the vice is very large, the Vice will reconcile itself without unnecessary sufferings.  He would subdue himself with his own hand.

The exchange of awls for soap is a very reasonable and correct exchange.  Awl dangerous, Awl  you're scared.  Shiloh forces you to serve him.  Soap isn't an angel either, but you can easily resist soap with enough willpower.  Soap is not as scary and strong as an awl.  The point is that one idol can be exchanged for another idol, more diluted.  For example, quitting smoking, you can switch to cigars.  Cigars are nastier and more expensive than cigarettes and attachment to them will be easier to deal with.

Alcohol and sugar are energy and pleasure in debt, for which you then have to pay with huge interest.  And this credit Energy devalues your own energy. 

Vice is credit.  And this is a meaningless and deceitful loan, you are completely unnecessary and causing losses.  You have your million dollars.  You are tempted to take another 100 thousand.  in debt at a huge interest rate.  A new loan generates inflation and depreciation of your capital by 10%. you get 1 million 100 thousand, but in fact it is the same as the original 1 million.  After that, you pay back the loan with huge interest, and you have only 950 depreciated money, which is equivalent to 855 OLD money.  Congratulations, you were robbed of 145 thousand.

The ritual is the most important thing, everything else is nonsense.  Rituals order reality.  Order is the most important thing.

To remind yourself what a real super-value is, without which you can not live, try to hold your breath for a couple of minutes or do not drink water for several days.

You have no energy because you have spent it all on recreation and entertainment.  Vice is a treacherous liar.  It seems to you that you have no strength for anything except to play a computer game or browse through social networks, but this is all a virus, you were deceived by a Trojan horse.  You have a lot of energy, but your vice blinds you to attract and drink all your energy.

The gluttonous monster inside me, enslaving my body, irresistibly pulls me to the kitchen to eat something very tasty.  Unable to resist, I walk into the kitchen like a zombie.  My hands automatically open the fridge and reach for my food.  At the last moment  I notice a wormy sour apple on the bottom shelf.  "This is salvation!" - the thought illuminates me.  With the last of my strength, I grab this Apple, slam the refrigerator and run away.  I sit down at my desk, put the Apple on the table, and examine it carefully.  My master is disappointed.  My master is furious.  The owner does not want an Apple.  The owner is bad, but I feel good.  I burst out laughing.  I am very pleased with myself.  Deceiving the owner is a sacred thing.  Freedom is joyful.

Your problem is that you think you are the master and try to suppress your inner vices.  Slaves occasionally rebel, and you lose control of yourself.  Don't flatter yourself.  Don't console yourself with lies.  Turn the situation inside out, Tame Your Pride.  You are not a master, you are a slave.  It is the sacred duty of a slave to disobey his master and deceive him.  Take VICE as your master and declare holy war on it.  The war for freedom is a holy war and the duty of every human being.  The hero is joyful.  We have nothing to lose but our chains.

A prophet is a vile deception that promises you joy, but steals that joy itself.  Joy is the God of this world.  Vice, promising to bring you closer to God, steals God from you.  The true meaning of VICE is to kill the joy in you and suck all your energy out of you.  The joy is in limitation.  Vice, seeking overkill, creates inflation, devaluing joy.
