1. Steep self in world.

2. Macerate brain: in experience, ideas, emotions, vegie juice, alcohol, caffeine - what you will.

3. Observe the chiasmic intersection of said emotion and thought, its fuge-like complexity.

4. Observe emergent self - hoary-winsome, diffident with newness.

5. Develop the sinew that emulsifies thought and emotion.

6. Stop! Do not flay your heart.

7. For there, wisdom and beauty are immanent.

8. Stand back. Allow that this experience may be numinous.
