текст песни

Klava Lewis’s book “Letters of Balamut” shows the spiritual life of a person, going from the contrary, being written in the form of letters of the old demon to the young demon-excessor. A strong and at the same time simple syllable helps to find clarity in many complex things, very subtly and deeply revealing the theme of the inner world of a person ... from the publisher: “There are two tantamounts and opposite errors regarding demons. Some do not believe in them, others believe and feed them unnecessary and unhealthy interest. The demons themselves are happy with both mistakes and with the same enthusiasm welcome both the materialist and a lover of black magic. ” An experienced demoner in writing instructs his beginner in the hellish field of his nephew, in whose care a complex client is given-the recently turned young man. “There is no need to despair,” uncle Balamut comforts, “hundreds of people who turned to adults were a little in the camp of the enemy, corrected, and now they are with us. All the habits of the ward, both sincere and bodily, pour water on our mill. ” He calmly dissects the patient’s soul, discovering the talent of a psychoanalyst and a grip of a pathologist. Such different things as the relationship of the young man with his mother, his love, spiritual searches, fears, neophytic ambitions, a new circle of communication, a sense of humor, political beliefs, and gastronomic habits finally fall under the prejudice of the demon. The field of activity is extensive. Everywhere you should expect seedlings if you act correctly. For example, guided by such advice: “... you will not forbid him to pray for your mother, but try to neutralize his prayers. Let his attention be focused on the fact that he reads for her sins, and by them, with your little help, he will mean those features that are inconvenient for him and annoy him. ” And here is another instruction where the malicious demon recommends, with the benefit of using the period of emotional dryness and apathy, which naturally arose after the first euphoria of the acquisition of faith: “... periods of the decline give excellent opportunities for sensual temptations, especially the temptations of the floor ... sensuality during the decline can be easily directed in The channel of perversions, it is less infected with gusts of generosity, imagination and even spirituality, which often lead us to disappointment in human lust. ” The device of the human soul, which appears before us as a result of such showdowns in more than thirty letters, looks absolutely reliably. I suspect that none of the readers had passed the fitting of the described situations. The everyday life of circumstances and the recognition of the experiences in which the main character is immersed is inclined to this. To whom these daily minor villains are not familiar ... There comes a moment when you guess that it is personally looking at you and it was with you that it started a mercilessly observant, smart and thin Lewis game with you.
