Adore stone. Learn to manoeuvre against the heat of things. Should you see butterflies gambol in the air, resist the urge to pinch their wings. Look for utilitarian values of violence. Use the knife lustily: to peel the mango's jealous skin, to wean bark and cut bread for the unending hunger of stray dogs. Renounce your house. Take just one object with you. Slip it in your pocket. Marvel at how a simple thing can connect the variegated skeins of time. On the 99th day, you must surrender this object, but until then feel free to attach sentiment to it. Find a forest to disappear in. Look for thirst-quenching plants. Rub the smooth globes of their roots in our palms before biting in to their hearts. Lean backwards and listen to the slippery bastard of your own arrhythmic heart. Remind yourself that you feel pain, therefore you must be alive. Stain your fingers with ink. Set out into the world and prepare to be horrified. Do not close your eyes. Catch a fish. Smash its head and watch the life gasp out of it. Spit the bones into sand. Offer your bones to someone. Clavicles are the chief seducers of the human body. When you hear the snap, allow yourself a shudder. Find a tree to hold all the faces of your dead—their hair, their rings. Hang their solemn portraits from branches. If you cannot find happiness in death you will not complete the course. Give your child to a stranger. If you are childless, offer the person you love best. Do not ask about possible ways of mistreatment. Trust it will be terrible. Climb a mountain. Feel how much larger the world is when you're alone. Try to find words or images to explain your loss. Give up. Stand on your head. Grow dizzy on your own blood. Spend the night in the cemetery. Keep still and listen to the dead chortle. Tattoo your face. Do not bother with the stars. They are for romantics (who are not happy people). Learn to steer through darkness. If you're attacked, spread your legs and say, Brother, why are you doing this to me? When you approach a crossing in the woods, take the one instinct tells you to take. When you are knee-deep in mud, turn around and try the other path in order to understand how little you know of yourself. In a few days you'll be ready for the sublime. Before that, meditate in a cave. If a tigress finds you, offer her the meat of your thighs, give her cubs your breasts. If tigers are already extinct, wait for some other hairy, hungry creature to accost you. It will happen. It is important for you to lose both body and mind. Dig a hole in the earth with your hands. Place your treasured object in it and thrill at how little it means to let it go. On the 101st day, search out a mirror. Strip away your clothes. Inch up to your reflection. Much of the success of this course will depend on what you see.
