Maybe ease out of the frame of mind that tends to carry me away... Let go instead of pull.

Isn't it 3 steps forward and two steps back?

The aliens who put us here should have made that easier.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Shit. Easy...?? When you get a visit things will get exponentially more insane. Be warned. And when you try to talk about it a mile a minute because its possibly the most important thing thats happened to you in your life... They'll taser yer ass and diagnose you with some psychotic illness. Its just a hallucination. And, in that case... Whew...!!

Taking a step back is about stopping yourself from what it is you are doing, and analyzing the whole situation and outcomes and such....

This and the other are not along the same lines.... This one is about progress, and setbacks in what it is you are working towards.... (and it is usually a bigger number moving forward, unless it is used sarcastically....)

i'd say it means that you should think how (blank) can affect you later...like thinking ahead before you act and how you can approach it if something does in fact affect you if you puruse that thought...
damn...that sounded better in my head than it does rereading this post...
