Thank you SI for the humor.
Yes... Moderation is key... And when one abuses then one may have to withdraw and find alternative means to entertain the senses. Just like moderation, balance is an act that means sometimes with- sometimes without.
I find my thoughts back to this thread, with the belief that Masters or even spiritually attuned people have the ability to speed up our Karma- which does not mean a pleasant experience but one that would be confronting and life-altering. It can be both physically or emotionally exhaustive... Like we are forced to put something under a microscope and see what needs changing at the sublevel.
