Slip-ups can occur along any of the above mentioned lines. A thick black rubber hose in a backyard after dark for a moment actually becomes, or could become, to a timid soul a particularly vicious, ridiculously long and fat black snake.

Limitations set upon the self are damaging to the race as a whole, and impede value fulfillment.

His psychic limitations are largely self-adopted.
