More From Christian Lous Lange

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
Faith Cutting Power
Neither a person nor a nation can exist without some higher idea. and there is only one higher idea on earth, and it is the idea of the immortality of the human soul, for all other "higher" ideas of life by which humans might live derive from that idea alone.
Ideas Soul Might
If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong. by absolute we mean that which always applies, that which provides a final or ultimate standard. there must be an absolute if there are to be morals, and there must be an absolute if there are to be real values. if there is no absolute beyond man's ideas, then there is no final appeal to judge between individuals and groups whose moral judgments conflict. we are merely left with conflicting opinions.

I see a kind of thirst in her expression, the same one i saw when she told me about her brother in the back room of the tattoo parlor. before the attack simulation i might have called it a thirst for justice, or even revenge, but now i am able to identify it as a thirst for blood. and even as it frightens me, i understand it. which should probably frighten me even more.

Every natural longing has its natural satisfaction. if we thirst, god has created liquids to gratify thirst. if we are susceptible of attachment, there are beings to gratify that love. if we thirst for life and love eternal, it is likely that there are an eternal life and an eternal love to satisfy that craving.
Life And Love Attachment Eternal Love
Human beings are very unbalanced and prone to go off on tangents. in every area of life- with too great emphasis on one thing, leaving out another important thing altogether. none of us will ever be perfectly balanced in our spiritual lives, our intellectual lives, our emotional lives, our family lives, in relationships with other human beings, or in our business lives. but we are challenged to try, with the help of god. we are meant to live in the scriptures.

Energy can't be created or destroyed, and energy flows. it must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction. it must have some effect somewhere.

I feel like spirituality definitely comes through in my music, but i don't make any specific efforts to make it that way.
