------------------------------- 1. In the fields history sows seeds Everything I have ever known The Jinn yield to all of our needs is gone 2. Hollow man I can defeat myself if I become A hollow man 3. War on yourself to exorcise All of the passions I have known Darkness shelved embrace the skies have passed 4. Hollow man My desires are holy only when I'm A hollow man 5. I cast primeval thoughts aside Humanity becomes unknown Not facing evil within, I hide to me 6. Heartless man I can defeat my evil if I am A heartless man 7. I will not reep my own rewards All of my past is now unknown To be a sheep to be the Lord's and dead 8. Heartless man My desires do not tempt me I am Now A lifeless man --------------------------
Well I’ll be damned. You ‘get’ it. Almost no one else does.
Egoism i.e. taking pride in one’s own accomplishments and EARNING self esteem is deemed bad by the one’s who mortify the self and loath themselves and the accomplishments of others. And since “having” is “bad” then asceticism is “holy”, or so they say. What asceticism REALLY is, is an attempt to concur oneself, to quash one’s own desire to work towards one’s own welfare which is “selfish” i.e. supposed to be bad.
The ones in fear of themselves attempt to stuff the “bad self” back in the cage and deny it exists, when what they are really doing is warping their own psyche. Where they would have expressed a healthy sense of naughtiness as everyone else does, when their “bad self” finally gets out of the cage, it is crazed from abuse and runs rampant ‘till they “hit rock bottom” or finnish their “jag”. Then the Jin is bottled back up again, Mr. nice goes back to church and makes a lot of promises and vows to leave the drugs, drink and young girls alone forever, but forever turns into merely the next time. ‘Very unhealthy indeed. Such self-torture creates schisms in one’s psyche...and worse, they learn that they cannot trust themselves. Once self-trust is destroyed, they are prime victims for religions such as Christianity, which perpetuates the abuse with pathological faith and valuing anti-values such as self-hatred and hatred of our planet.
