“Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul.”

Yes, that is my experience, too.  This was my experience with going to church and school.  I would ask myself, "Does God want to hear the same old things over and over just being repeated without any individual spark?"  Can we not be 'real'? 

We hold this truth to be self evident. Concerning the soul in a political arena; there was once far, far away - in a time long forgotten, an intended republican form of government administered by sovereigns at the law of nature and of nature'e God. But alas; the noble heirs to the Eternal King opted out, conforming to the occupying statist theocracy infesting the land with its stealing the royal family's finer senses, leaving only a transgressed and shallow lethargy.
