"Milenios hace que he muerto. Mi primera muerte sucedió cuando mi espíritu - esfera fué revertido y encadenado a la materia para hacerla evolucionar. Después de eso, encarnación tras encarnación, y aunque inconsciente, mi muerte se fué repitiendo en un interminable número de sucesiones. Y ahora que he despertado, te escribo desde este cadaver para que sepas que soy consciente, que de una vez por todas encontré la salida y no me volveré a dejar morir..."
Te envío un saludo acausal con la mano izquierda. Un bala mudra desde el espíritu eterno.
