What is the ideal, as I'm not that looking for, but which you can never achieve? Are you looking for yourself? Therefore, you still don't have; you are looking for, than you should be, but because you have not yet become yourself. You live in anguish, and Millennium already live there, you live in hope. But not in the way I live in pleasure! Whether it concerns only the so-called pious people? No, this applies to everyone who belongs to a dying era, even playboy. And after everyday was Sunday and after a hectic life - dreams of a better world, of universal human happiness, in short, of the ideal. But godly people oppose especially philosophers. But unless they thought of something different, as it's never about perfection, about the absolute I? Everywhere the longing, desire and hope, and only them. Call it, if you like, romanticism.

In the meantime, I think I just need to find my true self and that must come a time when I'm not living in ourselves, but Christ or some other spiritual, i.e. ghostly I, for example, the true man, the essence of man, etc., - until then I can't enjoy myself.

Let us formulate the meaning of this law, and then get the following: everyone should have something that would stand above it. You have to upstage their "private interests", if required by the welfare of others, the good of the Motherland, the society, the total welfare, the good of humanity, good and the like! Fatherland, society, mankind, etc. should be over you, and your "private interests" should this neglect in front of them, because you don't have to be selfish. People living a religious life, when communicating with each other obey who is above all formal law; sinners often forget to follow it, but I never allow myself to deny its absolute value, the law is love. And even those who fight against its principle, and hate, it seemed that the that word, and those still loyal to him, because they still love; they love even deeper and more enlightened; they love "man and mankind".

And again, you have to have a single thought, not to utter a single phrase, not to commit any acts, justifiable only in you, instead of having to get approval from morality, reason or humanity.

In short, people continued to be in deep obedience and obsession, lived reflection and continued to possess the object for reflection, which is respected, and before which felt awe and fear. Things turned into ideas about things, thoughts and concepts, and thus dependence on them has become even more profound and indissoluble. So, for example, can easily get out of obedience to parents or stop listening to the exhortations of an uncle or aunt, of the request of a brother or sister, but rejected in principle, obedience continues to capture the conscience, and the less amenable to counsel individuals, recognizing their irrational, the stronger the hold on the principle of duty and respect for family and the more difficult it is to forgive herself for a sin against his idea of family love and respect.

Because you despise the egoist, he prefers the personal front spiritual and takes care of itself when you would like to act in the name of any ideas.

Thought that is simple, subject, consciousness, the consciousness which responds only to the subject or sensual, you know the immaterial and insensible. As well as straining his eyes to see the distant as exercising the hand to reach an easy and confident game, so tortured himself the different ways to develop the capacity to fully accommodate all extrasensory.

I am the owner of its power and only then will I become as aware of yourself Only.

For Me there is nothing above Me.
