No my cousin, I am pressing hard for another reason. It is related to killing,
but not of a being. And it is not criminal.

Marijuana simulates the conditions of perfect and pure bodiless contemplation,
because the alkaloid stuns the nervous centers, but panic is caused, by the
poison, to overcome peace and sense of rest. So natural contemplation induced
by serious self disciplinary trance methods is far better.
Remove all attachements to the body save refreshing food and beverage, even if
the attachment has for its purpose the disembodying effect so desirable to the
tranquil mediator.
