Poem: 

It’s no easy feat being comfortable in the Lotus Position. It takes a lot of repetition. Just to sit there content is what is meant and concentrate in your head. You need a personal development style. It could be your morning ritual. Many think they must think but that would be a mistake. You are first plugging in. For the advanced you have post-satori practice. There is the issue of going higher. You could just have a longer practice. I like to say “if some is good than more is better” It is like inner transformation all the way to annihilation. Back when I started it could take two hours for the thoughts to stop. Luckily with practice the time period to launch can be shortened. The instant-on third eye is what is needed. Better do it when you can. Even a powerful Zen Master like Hakuin eventually weakens and is dead. The instant-on third eye could go commercial but that is really antithetical. I don’t plan to write a poem a day I just restructure my head.
