282 DATE WITH THE GODSmuseum in Lima. I saw the trepanations on the skulls,
filled with gold and silver plaques. The museum atten

formed by Inca surgeons. After that, I read a book by
Raymond Drake, which compares the Tibetan lamas and
the teachings about the Third Eye. The whole thing is
clicking into place."
"I'm glad we can use these few days to straighten out
all that, because this is actually the beginning of your
learning process."

"You know me well enough by now to know I won't lie

doesn't harm your fellow human beings or go against
nature while you enjoy the pleasures of the flesh. As far
as you or sex being evil, you're right when you say you're
a product of the society in which you live.
If two consenting people want to enjoy the physica
pleasure of life because they know it'll feel good, they're
