Nobody's Fault But Mine

Our world today is beset by a multitude of unspeakable, deluded, and satanic theories and ideologies that are leading materialistic man toward discouragement and spiritual paralysis.
Thus begins the introduction to the book Obedience is Life. I am certainly one of those who have been wounded by empty ideologies which I chose because they appealed to me on either a sensual or intellectual level. My long years of battling depression surely is related to this. If I have any sense at all, I will spend the remainder of my time on earth resting and doing the physical/noetic therapy prescribed by the Orthodox Church. If I don't...then to quote Blind Willie Johnson,"...ain't nobody's fault but mine."
