So in love with these images of self preservation.  The mind leads the wicked, while the heart & soul guide the truely righteous.  The path is not laid before us, we must tread our own way, seeking purity in our own minds.  Not giving way to the false values of the lost majority.  Instead embrace the ideals of our conscience mind and support the idea of our subconscious wondering through our soul.  Like the majestic Raven we are only vessels to transport the immortal spirit from one stage to the next.  A time capsule for our past, present, and future lives.
