Seemingly natural, these activities may be hazardous to spiritual growth, if that is indeed an end rather than a process. All too often substance is misdiagnosed as some kind of aberrant phenomenon, whilst the true flukes run about wildly as though their antics were normal! But perhaps it is for the best, as one of the nicer aspects of nirvana is that it is not very crowded.
What wonder awaits
After slumber takes
My soul across space and time
The dreams I make
Are there to forsake
Or hold close and call mine
In this nameless place
There is no waste
All is perfectly fine
Our lives are a taste
Of a power so great
But it's all in the mind
"Now, now, you stars, that move in your right spheres,
Where be your powers? Show now your mended faiths,
And instantly return with me again"
-Shakespeare, King John
