“Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it.”

“Nakamura Tempu Sensei viewed the mind as a segment of the body that could not be seen and the body as the element of the mind that was observable. He also likened the mind and body to a stream, with the mind as the source flowing down to the body. Whatever we drop in the stream will be carried down by the current. In like manner, our thoughts will influence the body and our well being.”

“Excess is excrement, ... Excrement retained in the body is a poison.”

“You've got the freedom to walk out if you drag you down. You've got the freedom to walk out, If they drag you down. If they drag you, If they drag you. Walk out.”

“[...] certain it is that minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort, and like them, are often successfully cured by remedies in themselves very nauseous and unpalatable.”

“Easier, sometimes, to gulp down giant spoonfuls of uncertainty than it is to swallow throat-clogging capsules of what really is.”
