Spiritual awakening

"The life of the flesh also has its own Trinity: The Table. The Bed. And the Money. What is outside of these can be divided into two classes: Pleasant. Unpleasant. Pleasant is idleness, ignorance, debauchery, theft, robbery, fornication, hypocrisy, fraud, and any money gain. Unpleasant: work, cultivation of yourselves, moderation, helping the wretched, forgiveness, sacrifices for the good of your country and mankind, clean living, honour, and human goodness in general. Observe that all who hold this Earth to be the World are men of limited minds. They are mostly big-bodied and fat. Tightly occupied with the cares of life or the collection of money. When not busy, they are lovingly stroking their stomachs, skirt-chasers. If not, they are cunning, cruel. Those of them that seem clever, their cleverness is not real, but a sort of fox craftiness."
