章 148: From lies to truth

Ickapoo is in darkness because of his loneliness, angst. He could however escape darkness by seeking the Divine.

In the autobiographical ‘Confessions’ of St Augustine, a journey is made from darkness and a life of sin and debauchery to light and gradual acceptance of divine truth. St Augustine pursued a life of lust and hedonism as a youth, taking on a mistress out of wedlock with whom he fathered a child and engaging in affairs outside marriage. He also pursued rhetoric and perpetuated lies and injustice therein. He consulted astrology rather than God about his future. It was a gradual journey however towards light and divine truth when he realized how spiritually barren and lost he was, and how he needed the sanctifying grace of Christ to redeem himself from the cesspool of sin he was mired in.
