Long ago philosophers of ancient Egypt and of Greece realised the existence of faculties hidden deep within themselves which they had not previously considered. Contrary to popular belief, they did assign to these faculties labels
which we may equate with Good and Evil, Light and Darkness, so on, and so forth. They noticed that there were subconcious desires and fears, as well as concious ones. They knew there was an aspect of nature specifically designed to stop us from achieving personal spiritual Transmutation and Divine Kingship. For most people, so they noticed, there was many vices and everybody seemed to have one or two of them or more. There has been many books explaining the potential harm of vices and hatred of virtue. I have read quite a few but what I have found, is that we simply need to overcome the "Problems of LIFE".

Laziness
Ignorance
Forgetfulness
Emotions
