Chapter 8

I believe there is a difference between the actions of sin, and the
motivations. One can never fully overcome the actions with out first
addressing the underlying causes. It is in this manner, I believe Murder is
hardly ever performed without a reason. Many theological references refer to
the most these reasons as the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed,
Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. It is from these deep rooted carnal feelings
that dark thoughts are allowed to germinate in the minds of the unpure, and
thus actions can be taken upon them.

But, the ward against such Sins are there corresponding Virtues. It is with
these that I seek, and will continue to teach others the means to temper
these lurking desires, that I feel we all have to some extent or another.
Performing these Virtues is how each of our inner light shines. It is through
these that we conquer, within ourselves, the desires to end and obstruct the
Life and Light of others.

These Virtues and Sins are:
Lust and Chastity
Gluttony and Temperance
Greed and Charity
Sloth and Diligence
Wrath and Patience
Envy and Kindness
Pride and Humility
