Mwell... ummm... sort of. I mean, happiness and peace of mind are
SYMPTOMS of slack, but hideous screaming can be symptoms of slack too,
under certain circumstances.
Have you sent your thirty bucks to Box 140306 Dallas TX 75214?
There are just some things we really can't go into here, not in front of
"you know who."

No, actually, objects and actions do not increase or decrease your
awareness of Slack, but they can trick you into thinking that they do so
that you do it yourself.

Slack is a warm puppy.
On a plate, with applesauce.
And a nice peace of mind on the side. Pink and steamy.
(I mean "piece" of mind, of course. Sorry.)

No, I haven't. I'm kinda poor right now. That's to become an ordained
minister, right? Dennis told me you could marry someone with that..I
think he might have been teasing me..Though he did perform a marriage one
time. I'll have to ask him about that again :)

Some people find that Essendi Slackae is to be found in the
state/process of AGITATION of mind. A person that is not happy or
peaceful in mind can slack slack* by using their own unbalanced
nature to unbalance them even further (the YING principle).
You may have noticed an emphasis on HATE, but any
emotion-thought-combination can slack slack. This is why Slack cannot
be "attached" to particular thoughts, objects or actions.
Now, it is possible to say that this very unbalance must, in some way,
make that person "happy". Then you will need to talk about different
pieces of the mind having different "attitudes" to existence, and it
will get very messy very quickly. It is more accurate to say that Mind
is All, and Slack is One.
* The phrase "slack slack" seems initially confusing because the
word "slack" is being used as both verb and adjective. This is,
however, a technically correct usage that describes the process with
precision.
