The Fitness Enthusiast

Poem:

An all out disconnect switch would be ideal. Like the mute switch on the phone. It would be great if you could turn off the physical plane and sit comfortably just in your head. You could be instantaneously transcendental. The perfection of practice is in itself existential. In a way prior experience and study can be that switch. It could be genuine detachment as well as right understanding as well as a commitment. You could think of it as leaving the earth and going to the moon. In this case the inner moon. The five charged names are that switch though perhaps not in an instant. But on the other hand if time does not exist what is an instant? You have to create a charge account inside your head and build up a lot of credit. It is a matter of momentum. There is no cap on my metaphors for meditation it could be a million. Being a so-called “fitness enthusiast” seems sad because you can’t help thinking the body is only temporary anyways. But if you start from the top and work down, you can be a spiritual fitness enthusiast and start with meditation and let cosmic consciousness trickle down. That is what is missing. Sitting still in lotus position can become your hedge fund. You can collect interest in Mevlana Rumi’s capital. You can still have a life that is enthusiastic after. It helps to pre-experience death. If you think of each God one by one they think of you that is the theory which is in the Quran too. If you realize God first thing in the morning everyday than you never go to bed sad. Your soul realizes it accomplished something before you are dead. You can start at the top and work you way down. We are all doomed in the end so if helps to pre enter heaven like Dante. You can create a personalized morality by seeing personally what works as it goes to your head and whether it takes you up instead. It is just a religion of not inhibiting you kundalini. To a Taoist it is Chi. You can create a new identity of someone who sits in meditation for a long time but at the same time think of that as a vacuum. You are just doing what comes natural. You are just eliminating dead weight and becoming light. If I write ten thousand words and throw them onto the world wide web then someone might get them. You can say we are all connected. That I am not an individual is a Zen Koan.
