Summary

  • Study [1]. Visit the underworld [2]. Honour your family [3]. Become a man [4] / Become a woman [5]. Give up all addictions, one by one [6].
  • Offer yourself. Look for the light. Be transformed.

If you become a priest,

  • Give up your life.
  • Meet the devil. See the differences. Make love. Go deep. Drink! Drink! Be alone.

  • Carry the universe in your womb.
