Chapter 46: Liberation and the True Self
The scene at that time is really hard to describe in words.
At that time, Lannasel was standing on a high place, dressed in luxurious clothes, looking down on each other.
The woman, sitting in prison, naked, looked up at the child.
Obviously, this is a situation with a clear position.
But Lannasel had a very strange feeling.
It's as if the woman is telling the truth, and she is the poor person.
"Now that I think about it, it should be a gap in faith."
Ten years later, when she brought up that scene again, she explained with a smile:
"The woman had an absolute conviction in her words, she believed that she was telling the truth, and that I was the poor creature."
Human beliefs are very frightening.
The more indestructible the faith, the more terrifying it is.
The young Lannaser had a gorgeous skin.
But without the support of firm beliefs, it is naturally completely powerless to fight.
"At that time, I was dumbfounded by her words, and I was stunned for a while before leaving in a panic."
"That night, I lay in bed and thought about it for a long time, and I never understood why."
"In my opinion, I obviously have a lot of things."
"I have a very good family, a lot of interesting friends, endless beautiful clothes, shoes, jewelry, endless books to read, and so on."
"But...... Come to think of it, are those things really mine? Is it really what I want? ”
When Lannassel said this.
For the first time, Jiang Ember saw the look of confusion on her face.
This is a very rare thing, because Lanna Sersuri has always had a very intellectual feeling.
She's smart, smarter than most people.
But being smart is not always a good thing.
Because smart people often think too much unconsciously.
Even to explore some forbidden things that ordinary people don't care about or dare not care about.
"After that, I went through the books and went to investigate in detail the origin and background of the 'Celestial Church'."
"This sect was originally founded by the remnants of the evil god Asmantis, in order to free them from the evil god."
"But after thousands of years of erosion and the Night's Watch's incessant attacks, they have been forced to transform into a harmless loose organization of humans and animals."
"Now, all they can do is to make some streaking incidents every once in a while, under the guidance of the doctrine of 'liberating the true self.'"
When he heard this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh:
"The so-called 'liberation of the true self' means not wearing clothes?"
"Well, but it's not as simple as not wearing clothes, there is actually a very deep doctrine behind it."
Today, Lannasel has grown up and has a better understanding of the world than she did ten years ago.
But the more transparent I am, the more I feel that the words "liberate the true self" are not so simple.
Although at first glance, it sounds like nothing more than a bunch of exhibitionists partying to their heart's content.
However, from the perspective of secular concepts, clothes themselves actually represent concepts such as identity, status, and class, and belong to symbols in imagery.
The king had the clothes of the king.
The nobility had the clothes of the nobility.
Civilians have civilian clothes.
The poor have the clothes of the poor.
What kind of person you are, others will judge by the difference in clothes.
People who wear luxurious clothes are more likely to be respected and recognized by others.
On the contrary, people in tattered clothes are prone to inexplicable white eyes.
Therefore, people have long been unconsciously accustomed to putting their eyes on clothes.
As for who the person in the clothes is, people don't really care.
At the same time, clothes also represent the entity of rules and constraints.
People in tattered short coats are not allowed to enter and leave formal and dignified places, otherwise they will be kicked out.
People in beautiful dresses can't run and jump unscrupulously, otherwise they will provoke all kinds of criticism.
Those who wear student uniforms are not allowed to go out and out of various adult settings, otherwise they will be punished by the school.
Everyone has to behave in a way that matches their clothes and stay in places that match their clothes.
Failure to do so will result in rebuke and even sanctions.
The more I grow up, the more I understand the world.
The more you will feel the heavy meaning behind the clothes.
At this point, Lannathel couldn't help but sigh.
And turned to look at the black nun dress she had hung on the wall.
This nun costume of the Silent Monastery can be said to be the most reflective of the rules and constraints.
The strong color of sacredness and asceticism wears people's necks tightly and makes people feel suffocated.
So Lannasel took matters into her own hands and made many changes to the nun's suit.
"But even so...... It's not as pleasant as taking it off directly. ”
Lannathel looked at the nun's dress hanging on the wall, and there was a hint of irrepressible comfort in her tone.
And this sense of liberating comfort is also the selling point of the "celestial church" that has been able to attract believers for so many years.
After all, the main idea of this church is as simple as that.
Liberation, liberation, or fucking liberation.
What is your identity, whether you have money or not, whether you have power or not.
It doesn't matter if it's someone's parents or children, whether it's high or low.
The only thing that matters is whether or not you are willing to stay true to your undisguised desires.
Be faithful to the desires that are not obscured by all worldly things, and be your true self.
As long as you will, then the doors of the "Celestial Church" will always be open for you.
Under the guidance of Master Asmantis, we will help you regain the freedom and joy of childhood.
......
"For me, this doctrine of abandoning everything and liberating oneself is like a sweet poison that I know is wrong but am inevitably attracted to it."
Lannathel said as she looked directly into Ginger Ash's eyes.
From her straightforward, sincere gaze, you can see that there is no falsehood in this statement.
Although Lannasel didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Ember could also guess.
She, a member of the Blazing Blue Royalty, must have been under a lot of pressure growing up.
Pressure from family, from society, from all sides.
The more stressed people are, the more likely they are to be attracted to these simple things.
Now that they had heard this, Jiang Ember had finally figured out Lannasel's intentions.
"I see...... That's why you became interested in Asmantis, even going so far as to be the sealer of her soul fragments? ”
"yes, that's it."
Lannasel smiled slightly and said with a smile:
"Don't you wonder what kind of creature she really is of such a god who guides mankind with such strange teachings?"
"I'm curious, but you're too bold."
"Hehe, since there is such an opportunity to contact the gods at a negative distance, of course you can't miss it."
"Then you had a posture of wanting to leave with everyone before, and you were all acting?"
"Not quite, although I came on my own initiative, I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life, if I have the opportunity, I will always go."
Under Lannasel's relaxed tone, Jiang Ash, who had figured everything out, couldn't help but sigh.
And I sincerely have some admiration for Lannasher.
Isn't it, just attracted by the teachings of the "Celestial Church".
began to trace the roots, and did not hesitate to gamble the rest of his life to personally act as the soul sealer of Asmantis.
Should it be said that she has a strong desire to explore? Or is it better to be bold?
But no matter what, it's because of Lannasel's operation.
It was only then that she had the opportunity to get along with Jiang Ember in this silent monastery.
In a way...... Jiang Yan really has to thank the group of naked freaks who liberate their true selves outside every day.
