"If a fool would persist in his folly he would become wise"
William Blake in Proverbs of Hell; The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (circa 1790)

The voice of the Devil.

All Bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors.

1. That Man has two real existing principles Viz: a Body & a Soul.
2. That Energy, call'd Evil, is alone from the Body, & that Reason, call'd Good, is alone from the Soul.
3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.

But the following Contraries to these are True

1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that call'd Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age
2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3 Energy is Eternal Delight

Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling.
And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
The history of this is written in Paradise Lost, & the Governor or Reason is call'd Messiah.
And the original Archangel or possessor of the command of the heavenly host, is call'd the Devil or Satan and his children are call'd Sin & Death.
But in the Book of Job Miltons Messiah is call'd Satan.
For this history has been adopted by both parties.
It indeed appear'd to Reason as if Desire was cast out, but the Devil's account is, that the Messiah fell, & formed a heaven of what he stole from the Abyss.

Com vcs... William Blake.


Somos responsáveis por nossa criação, nossos atos, e por toda a criação e ato que nos abstemos de realizar. Somos os responsáveis por nossa realidade e felicidade.
Aos Reis e Rainhas que abdicam de seu trono para entregar seu reino a outrem, resta a vergonha e a tristeza secreta de saber que poderiam ter sido e não foram.

Podemos ser tudo aquilo que ousarmos em nos transformar.
