Sir, be proud: today you came close to a happy death; and behave in the future with the same nonchalance, knowing that the soul dies with the body. Go then to death after having savored life.

me había topado con la afirmación de Carpócrates según la cual, para liberarnos de la tiranía de los ángeles, señores del cosmos, es necesario perpetrar toda clase de ignominias, saldando todas las deudas que hemos contraído con el universo y con nuestro cuerpo, porque sólo cometiendo todos los actos el alma puede liberarse de sus pasiones y reencontrar la pureza originaria.

El doctor angélico dice que las pasiones en sí mismas no son malas, pero que han de moderarse mediante la voluntad guiada por el alma racional.
