TSI, Suggestion

[David Morris]

I have found that I might experience, possibly, a self-administered possible
alternative experience.  I like to believe that my self-suggested/administered
realities are at my caressing control, and I do my best to monitor my IV, but
deceit is always at the periphany.  I admit I'm worried that my barrier is
weak, but I'm constantly flexing my logic.  I might slip here and there, but
I'm still high up on the cliff.
