I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in

well. Now I find that the herbs I knew so well cannot be
obtained here.
Eventually I was considered fit to take the Ceremony of
the Little Death, which I wrote about in The Third Eye.
By special rituals I was placed in a state of cataleptic death,
far beneath the Potala, and I journeyed into the past,
along the Akashic Record. I journeyed, too, to the lands
of the Earth. But let me write it as it felt to me then.
The corridor in the living rock hundreds of feet beneath
the frozen earth was dank, dank and dark with the dark-
ness of the tomb itself. I moved along its length
