A lot has happened since I first began to try and grasp my identity beyond intellectual assent of the "Imago Dei". There is A LOT OF WORK to do, now that there has been made space in my realm for Work. It's as if all the dark supressed things in my psyche that have been causing me a lifetime of problems, have been hauled up unwillingly from the deeps to the shoreline. They are hellish nightmares of ugliness. What negativity we have in us can be redeemed. The cynic is really the idealist in ill-aspect. For every vice, there is a polarized virtue. For this reason, never give up on anyone. The darkest soul often contains within it the most illuminate spirit, hoping for redemption, awaiting transformation.
Speaking to those who wish to attain discipline - you cannot force yourself to suddenly be a disciplined person. Discipline is the fruit of vision. Each night go to bed with your vision before you. Wake and let your vision greet you. Pray to be given a courageous and brave heart that boldly embraces being a co-creator. The thing is though - courage and bravery can only be manifest when there is fear, risk, danger, urgency. When there is the call for such virtues. It's all very swashbuckling. Wake from the sopor of the low and mundane!
The sad truth is that most of us die never having attained even ourselves. Our narratives, our world views, our reality tunnels, come by us second hand. Or, we simply accept what we perceive as our fate in life apathetically. Nothing could be as Satanic. Your identity, your True Self cannot be found, rather it must be forged by the Sovereign Master of the Universe... and you. Either you will live without hope, without vision, without purpose, and be swallowed by the Abyss, or you will seek that which is rightly yours. I pray that your eyes may see the world and yourself as they really are, as well as the power offered you to transform both.
