Ascetic discipline

It's not anything much, but ascetics eat alkaline digestive enzymes, such as spinach and broccoli, and they eat dates and figs, and avoid eating wheat, corn, and rice.

So my alternative is to eat boiled barley with Savoy cabbage, dates, cumin, basil, thyme, broccoli and vegetarian gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.

I dress in worn clothes, I walk barefooted, I sit on a hard floor, I meditate, I starve myself, I go in the backyard at dark night, I stay awake for 5 days, I eat abstemiously, and one day I'll whip myself on the back.

This is what ascetics do, and they don't marry or have sex, they do abstinence, they don't use violence or abuse, they avoid luxury and money (how is that going to work with just $2,000 moving to another state?). It will work but it's not easy being ascetic away from noisy places and in the mountains.

Of course this is the case, I'm moving eastwards on the coach, there's no knowing how happy I'll be over there.
