Just remember two main rules for the beginning:
You better starve, than eat whatever
And better be alone, than with whoever.”

“I know of no other Christianity and of no other Gospel than the liberty both of body & mind to exercise the Divine Arts of Imagination
Imagination the real & eternal World of which this Vegetable Universe is but a faint shadow & in which we shall live in our Eternal or Imaginative Bodies, when these Vegetable Mortal Bodies are no more. The Apostles knew of no other Gospel.”
― William Blake, Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion
