98. When I live
When I live in the physical worldI find it easier to sleep than to work.
When I live in the vital world
I find it easier to break than to build.
When I live in the mental world
I find it easier to doubt and suspect
Than to love and embrace.
When I live in the psychic world
I find it easier to work than to sleep,
I find it easier to build than to break,
I find it easier to love and embrace
Than to doubt and suspect.
Unlike in other worlds,
In my psychic world
I want what I need,
I get what I want.
