Electrocute yourself through engaging the electric body. Electrify that body by moving, by ascending, by hiking. This is the short circuit which Nature provides and which will gradually with repeated practice reduce the ego and the unreal to ashes.
Civilization is a closed circuit. It operates through closing. Closing as its etymology suggests as 'making inaccessible and shutting off from'. Civilization shuts itself off from Nature by exploiting her and treating her as a supermarket. Civilization also makes inacessible, through this shutting off, the spirit, since its unnatural enterprise invents an ego to withstand it.
Thus, when the person receives Nature by embracing her, that person also creates a short circuit by electrifying their bodies which have hitherto been rendered inert by an industrialised state of being.
This short circuit then 'starts a fire' which begins to burn the ego. And if you short circuit yourself regularly enough soon that ego, through constant exposure to Nature's powers, will be reduced to ashes.
I live near enough in the centre of Glasgow, about 8 miles from here, and yet with train and bicycle and foot I can get here in great comfort and with little expense in half an hour from my flat in Cessnock. Another half hour on foot and you're already a spirit-body moving through semi-wild hills. Give it another half hour and the short-circuit is complete.
