Just this weekend I smoked for the first time in 2 years. I was hanging out with a LII friend, we were sitting in a park, having some beers, then we went to a restaurant to eat. It was a nice summer evening and then we thought, now we just have to get a smoke.
It tastes good. I would smoke all the time if it wasnt unhealthy. I might start smoking again when Im really old and the relative harm to health is small.
The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.
