305. When I live

When I live in the vital world
    I find it easier to break than to build.

When I live in the physical world
    I find it easier to sleep than to work.

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 build than to break,
    I find it easier to work than to sleep,
    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.
