Nothing quite as convincing as direct experience.   No faith, no religion, by definition, can offer you that and I believe you have stumbled upon the one thing that can. If you plan on continuing, I strongly encourage you to start extracting your own. It's really not that complicated, and beyond the clear ethics of not supporting a corrupt and damaging underground industry, extracting spice makes the experience more intimate and much more personal (and safe, given that you know what went in and what comes out...!)

WELCOME to the NEXT-US and much gladness to have you abroad!! You express yourself well and seem to embody the humility that is emblematic of this place. I look forward to more news.

Cheers,
