[MD] THE TOWER

[Peter Corteen]

Hi SA,

maybe he unconsciously depended on the stimulation of the city too; the
woods don't have people in em.

Gurdjieff said there are three foods: food we eat, oxygen and (the one we
can least do without) perception.

I read that prisoners prefer torture to solitary.
