„... *** These souls of destruction feel that they are imprisoned all…”
„... *** These souls of destruction feel that they are imprisoned all the time; they are constantly trying to breach the rules, taking nothing for granted. They hate law and order and try to attain their goal at any price, even at the price of destruction. But beneath the harsh and evil mantle of those souls there is an immense desire to expand and to learn. It is as if these souls are saying, "Give us more, give us big." It is quite possible that these souls do not understand and do not know this desire, but it is what gives them the power to destroy and shatter and demolish. The power that demands of them to grow beyond their place, to be more.
