"(...) this
is the single most important thing that we can ever attain. The knowledge of
our own Self. And yet there are a frightening amount of people who seem to have
the urge to not just ignore the Self but actually seem to have the urge to
obliterate themselves. This is horrific but you can almost understand the
desire to simply wipe out that awareness, because it is too much of a
responsibility to actually possess such a thing as a soul; w if you brake it
what if you lose it?
Might it
not be best to anaesthetize it, to deaden it, to destroy it, to not have to
live with the pain of struggling towards it and trying to keep it pure. I think
that the way that people immerse themselves in alcohol, in drugs in television
in any of the addictions that our culture throws up can be seen as a deliberate
attempt to destroy any connection between themselves and the responsibility of
accepting and having a higher Self and then having to maintain it."
