Greetings from the Dark

[Zaxon]

those who choose to remain in it do so becauise of their addiction to the things of the flesh, and their ignorance of what might lay ahead in the things of the higher being.

Shin'Ar,

You often speak of "addiction to the things of the flesh" in reference to what you call darkness. I find this peculiar. From personal experience I have always been inclined towards asceticism. Discipline and control over fundamental impulses, desires, and actions has always been the cornerstone of my being. I have a nearly pathological aversion to dependence of any kind. It was a desire for independence from the whims of flesh and blood that my study in detachment and separateness began in earnest.

You will find in my personal habits the most temperate of men. I indulge in neither promiscuous sex or drugs, and have only one to two alcoholic drinks a week, usually with a meal. Neither do I indulge in fattening or rich food, as I have no attachment to food other than to consume what is necessary to function. So my diet is bland, nutritious, and rarely varies. I workout 4-6 days a week, engaging in intensive weight training, running, and yoga, to strengthen and purify the body so that it operates at optimal levels. Also, even though I am both financially and professional successful, I spend only a fraction of what I make, as I have an aversion to dependence on material things. In short, you will find I am quite detached from this world, this body, and its fleshly desires. I will be controlled by neither flesh nor blood, nor will of another.
