Years ago in Ffld I used to meditate on a sheep skin. It was quite cozy and warm on those cold winter mornings in the dome. But I always picked-up a subtle, but uncomfortable vibe from it. Then one day in meditation I spontaneously had a very clear "cognition" of the extreme distress of the sheep before it was killed. Very nasty tamasic, vibe under my ass. I stopped using it after that and did a little healing prayer for the sheep. Now I sit on the stuff that worms squirt-out: silk.
