Lennan Smith | The EVIL MONK archetype, Tormented Desire & Human Nature @LennanSmith | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 53 minutes ago.
Hello and Welcome Back or To the channel! 👀

Evil monks, you say? What the hell could this be about?!

Well, I have been exploring some things that interest me in hopes of finding out why a certain archetype draws me in! What I found has been fascinating. I'm still exploring, but... YAY! 💘

Things such as candles, prayer, ascetic life, fasting, manuscripts, etc... have been interests of mine for, pretty much, the whole of my adult life. These, seemingly, simple things led me down a rabbit hole to explore the archetype of the monk. But then, I went further into thinking about human nature and the concept of the TORMENTED SOUL/EVIL MONK. 🙏🔥

Would this life drag against the nature of humanity? Do monks find their lives lacking? Is my life lacking for not including more restriction?
SO MANY QUESTIONS... but what a journey!!! 🛣
