...Human Nature is undoubtedly the most subtle of Higher Matters, and it's a challenging task to fully comprehend its Original Purpose.
Wise Men of the old and Pious Clergymen divide Human Nature into multiple Hypostases - or Eidolons, if said in the Axonian manner.

The final Eidolon is the Divine, the Theious. It's the Spark embedded in each and every soul, offering us the Path and the Guidance. Vices, as well as other forms of Hamartia, are detrimental to the Theious, weakening and corrupting it. The Souls deprived of the Divine are detested by the Host and, upon reaching the end of the Path, are rejected by Them as unworthy...
