" Butchers enjoy the mindless

chewing of lambs. Likewise the appetites work for a shadow king. Do the

soul work instead. Feed daily on wisdom. Expand your heart. Rest the appetites. They

are bandits on the road. They stop your spirit and steal valuables. The most vital

thing about you is your soul intelligence. The rest is a mask for that. Don't

lose touch with it. Sensual wantings sometimes block and blur that intelligence as

surely as wine or hashish can. Arrogance too is drunken, making you

think things true that aren't. "
