1.9 Suicide

You will not commit suicide unless you are taking something corporeal with you to some new place. (Egpyptians?)

Otherwise, if the dissolution of the body takes place, it's through the use of violence/passion/revolt/grief/anger, all of which are unlawful, to tear the Soul from it.

If you are losing your Reason, which may happen to the Proficient (though unlikely), then suicide is ok. It would be weird to use drugs to assist you.

>And if there is a period alotted to all by fate, to anticipate the hour could not be a happy act, unless, as we have indicated, under stern necessity.
(No idea what he's saying here. If society enters an apocalyptic hour/society makes it impossible to be happy?)

If life after death depends on your earth actions, it's not worth suiciding so long as there is hope to progress virtue/the Good.
