An Exegesis on Corrupting the Youth
January 10, 2017
Apprentice Christian
Christian, of his own free will, is desirous of becoming an Apprentice to a Great Occultist. For his initial effort, Christian has chosen to explore a work of Yours Truly [Vide]. We offer the fact that Christian is in his first year at High School 3.0, and we have not changed the grammar or corrected spelling errors, however, comments are in brackets ( [ ] ). The various errors are due in no small part to Christian’s haste in writing, because of the severe time constraints during Christmas break.

[introduction]
Master’s typical writing structure of essays consists of a title (T), a first section (A) that has nothing to do with title, a second section (B) that relates to the title, and a conclusion (C) that relates to the title and sections A and B. Master may expand this form as:
T ABC,DEC,FGC,HIC,... [Is Christian aware of Latin?]
“Confessions of Youth” [factual error; not the title] follows this structure; the first section’s topic is psychology, and the second, much larger, section relates one of Master's episode with teenagers, and the conclusion is that money can be made from these and, presumably, other teens.

“Confessions of Youth” [factual error; not the title] follows this structure; the first section’s topic is psychology, and the second, much larger, section relates one of Master's episode with teenagers, and the conclusion is that money can be made from these and, presumably, other teens.
master: "upholder of reason and virtue"
Although well over 90% of the text relates one incident, nothing changes. Nothing was bought, no money was made. For all of Master’s verbiage, the story is pointless [this statement will be contradicted below], especially that no corruption occurred. It can be removed with no problem to the title and conclusions.
One could suggest that any corruption occurred before the story, they [the teenagers] were corrupted long before this episode. The careless [thoughtless?] reader would not notice this possibility. Origins of corruption may be media and peers or anything else.
Also, Master gives the impression that he was unsure of which course he should follow. If true, then Master would lack a hierarchy of values and is unable to access a situation in a timely manner. Either of these suppositions, or both of them, are [sic] not believable.
One could suggest that Master was attempting to reason with them, pointing out possible repercussions, and cause and effect. The part where the Virgo shoots down Master's idea of having his [the Virgo’s] parents buy [alcohol] is evidence of Master trying to apply reason, in vain.
I don't know if it is illegal to agree to do something illegal, and then not do it. If so, this would be statutory only, as common sense says that no crime was committed. It could be said that Master was demonstrating caution and avoiding problems, while upholding the spirit of the law.

ymca: "hanging out with all the boys."
Of course, one could suggest that Master, by his essence, by his being, is a source of corruption for male teenagers. From the second section, this is a reasonable conclusion, however, I don't think this is plausible. I don't think anyone would openly state he corrupts people. That is not very smart!
It could be that Master simply enjoys time with other earth signs, regardless of age. As a professional Occultist, Master cannot make distinctions, but as an amateur human being [strange expression], he can.
The Virgo makes him feel at ease with his [the Virgo’s] soft spoken manner and the Taurus offers verbal challenges to his [Master's] statements. Even the twin [wordplay on the name Thomas] Pisces has been known to make serious queries to Master regarding suck [such?] topics as the flat earth.
While calling people by their sun sign can be seen as an esoteric writing technique, Master does this while speaking (“The Libra” this, “The Sag” that). However, he does not refer to himself as “the Capricorn” when speaking. Come to think of it, he rarely talks about himself at all.
The use of musical terms, such as quintet and sotto voce, are not unknown in Master's writing. While not inappropriate enough to be entice certain readers, its purpose is wholly unknown [is there a partially unknown?].
Also typical of his style is alliteration and having similar sounds in proximity. Master will also use different words that mean the same thing in the same sentence, such as deep and profound. The only reason I can think that he does this is to pad his writings, or he enjoys wordplay.
These styles of writing, referring to sun signs, musical terms and repetition, are to be correctly understood as esoteric writing. Strange expressions to drawn in certain readers to look further than mere words.
If we remove the second section, we are left with a title, the first section and [the] conclusion. Master states that there is no difference between the diagnoses of a first rate and a second rate psychologist. This [is] quite a statement. We can expand this and say that the best psychologist and worst psychologist will reach a similar conclusion. For example, carpenters have different abilities and have different results. The same can be said for most occupations: ability determines the [sic] outcome.
If Master is hinting that ability for psychologists is not material to their job, then there must be a reason for this. I can only suggest that different abilities do not matter, as diagnoses are made through the DSM [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual]. Master seems to suggest that the same diagnosis will be made regardless of individual competency.
Master has wisely advised caution regarding using the Ouija board, but has not said anything about avoiding reading the DSM as an amateur. Anyone can access the criteria for diagnosing ADHD and autism. However, I don't think it would be as much fun as the Ouija board. [Christian seems to suggest that access to the Ouija board and the DSM are equally availabe to the competent researcher.]
Going further along this path, Master may be hinting that the explosion of cases of ADHD and cases along the autism spectrum over the last two decades is the result of the DSM. Otherwise said, the vague wording pertaining to new illnesses allows more people to be diagnosed and treated. Of course, [ongoing] treatment consists of drugs.
I can't be sure if Master thinks that the vague wording [of the DSM] is intentional or accidental. However, it seems highly unlikely that a group of doctors are unaware of what they have written and the reasonable consequences from their writing. Unless I were to claim that editors of the DSM are wretched idiots (as I am very, very reluctant to do), I must conclude that the vague wording used to diagnosis ADHD and autism is intentional.

conclusion
In conclusion, it can be understood that Master is suggesting that he does not corrupt the youth, but psychology is corrupting the youth. Whether this is Master's thrust, we cannot be certain. If we assume that the teenage episode is pointless, then Master wasted much effort and time. I don't see Master doing something without a purpose. Therefore, I am reasonably certain in my conclusion that Master does not corrupt teenagers, or wishes to be seen as a non corrupter. One of the problems with esoteric writing is that the reader can never be completely certain about what he is reading, about the intent of the author; only reasonably certain, and only when all the pertinent evidence is considered.
I must point out that psychiatrists cannot prescribe drugs, only psychologists can do that. If I know it, then Master knows it. This factual error is also an esoteric writing technique.
These patients will be treated differently by educators, family and the government. They will be held to a different standard than everyone else. This standard will, no doubt, be lower than most people.
In many cases, food, clothing and shelter will either be provided or be heavily subsidized. They will not need to contribute to society, but benefit in every way. This is Nietzsche’s last man- no more struggle. Of course, many people, organizations and corporations benefit financially from these corrupted youths, not only doctors.
As always, the Reader will come to his own conclusions regarding the financial incentives to corrupt the youth, by alcohol and other means.

Apprentice Christian will be an absolutely wonderful addition to my stable of apprentices. He will surpass me some day.

While we appreciate Christian's youthful enthusiasm, we remain cautious about his claims to future Occult greatness. We may say that we enjoyed his insights and explanations on the essay; and we are grateful to know him.
